Romans 1:28-32

God's Wrath on Unrighteousness

²⁸ And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, _z God gave them up to _a a debased mind to do _b what ought not to be done. ²⁹ They were filled with all manner of unrighteousness, evil, covetousness, malice. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness. They are gossips, ³⁰ slanderers, haters of God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, ³¹ foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless. ³² Though they know _c God's decree that those who practice such things _d deserve to die, they not only do them but _e give approval to those who practice them.
