Romans 1:26-28
New English Translation

26 For this reason God gave them over to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged the natural sexual relations for unnatural ones,[a] 27 and likewise the men also abandoned natural relations with women[b] and were inflamed in their passions[c] for one another. Men[d] committed shameless acts with men and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.

28 And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God,[e] God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what should not be done.[f]

Footnotes

  1. Romans 1:26 tn Grk “for their females exchanged the natural function for that which is contrary to nature.” The term χρῆσις (chrēsis) has the force of “sexual relations” here (L&N 23.65).
  2. Romans 1:27 tn Grk “likewise so also the males abandoning the natural function of the female.”
  3. Romans 1:27 tn Grk “burned with intense desire” (L&N 25.16).
  4. Romans 1:27 tn Grk “another, men committing…and receiving,” continuing the description of their deeds. Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.
  5. Romans 1:28 tn Grk “and just as they did not approve to have God in knowledge.”
  6. Romans 1:28 tn Grk “the things that are improper.”
