Romans 1:27-28

1:27 and likewise the men also abandoned natural relations with women ¹  and were inflamed in their passions ²  for one another. Men ³  committed shameless acts with men and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.

1:28 And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God, ⁴  God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what should not be done. ⁵ 

[1:27]  ¹ tn Grk “likewise so also the males abandoning the natural function of the female.”

[1:27]  ² tn Grk “burned with intense desire” (L&N 25.16).

[1:27]  ³ 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.

[1:28]  ⁴ tn Grk “and just as they did not approve to have God in knowledge.”

[1:28]  ⁵ tn Grk “the things that are improper.”
