'For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother, and be united to his wife; and the man and his wife shall become one.'

Therefore God abandoned them to impurity, letting them follow the cravings of their hearts, till they dishonored their own bodies;

That, I say, is why God abandoned them to degrading passions. Even the women among them perverted the natural use of their bodies to the unnatural; While the men, disregarding that for which women were intended by nature, were consumed with passion for one another. Men indulged in vile practices with men, and incurred in their own persons the inevitable penalty for their perverseness.
