Romans 1:18-32

The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the sinful, wicked people who suppress the truth by their wickedness. That which may be known of God is revealed in them, for God revealed it to them. The invisible qualities of God - his eternal power and divine nature - have been clearly seen since the creation of the world, being understood from what has been created, so as to render them without excuse. For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God, or even thanked him, but became vain in their reasoning, and their foolish heart was darkened. Claiming to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images like mortal man, birds, animals, and reptiles. So God turned his back on them and gave them over to the shameful desires of their hearts, sexual impurity, and the degrading things they did with each other's bodies. They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshipped and served created things rather than the Creator himself, who is worthy of eternal praise. Amen. Because of this, God gave them over to shameful passions. Their women exchanged natural relations for what is unnatural. In the same way, men abandoned normal relations with women and burned with lust for one another, doing shameful things with other men, and receiving due penalty for their perversion. And, just as they thought it foolish to know God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do things that never should be done. They were filled with unrighteousness: sexual immorality, wickedness, greed, hate, envy, murder, quarreling, deceit, malice, gossip, slander, hatred of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventing new ways to sin, disobedient to parents, senseless, faithless, heartless, unforgiving, and unmerciful. And even knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do them anyway, they encourage others to do the same.
