"And since they did not prove to have God by knowledge, God handed them over to a morally depraved way of thinking, so that they might do those things which are not fitting: "
— Romans 1:28, Catholic Public Domain Version
“And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;”
“And even as they refused to have God intheirknowledge, God gave them up unto a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not fitting; ”
“Even as they refused to have God in their knowledge, God gave them up to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not fitting;”
“And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what should not be done.”
“And as they liked not to have God in their knowledge, God delivered them up to a reprobate sense, to do those things which are not convenient.”
“And because they had not the mind to keep God in their knowledge, God gave them up to an evil mind, to do those things which are not right;”
“And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;”
And they exchanged the truth of God for a lie. And they worshipped and served the creature, rather than the Creator, who is blessed for all eternity. Amen.
Because of this, God handed them over to shameful passions. For example, their females have exchanged the natural use of the body for a use which is against nature.
And similarly, the males also, abandoning the natural use of females, have burned in their desires for one another: males doing with males what is disgraceful, and receiving within themselves the recompense that necessarily results from their error.
And since they did not prove to have God by knowledge, God handed them over to a morally depraved way of thinking, so that they might do those things which are not fitting:
having been completely filled with all iniquity, malice, fornication, avarice, wickedness; full of envy, murder, contention, deceit, spite, gossiping;
slanderous, hateful toward God, abusive, arrogant, self-exalting, devisers of evil, disobedient to parents,
foolish, disorderly; without affection, without fidelity, without mercy.
