Romans 1:23-25
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for a likeness— an image of a mortal person and of birds and of four-footed-animals and of reptiles. 24 Therefore God handed them over[a] in the desires of their hearts to impurity so that [b] their bodies are dishonored among them.
They Turned From The Truth To Worship The Creation Rather Than The Creator
25 Who exchanged the truth of God for the lie[c], and worshiped and served the creation[d] rather than the One having created— Who is blessed forever, amen.
