'Themselves' in the Bible

Therefore God gave them over in the desires of their hearts to immorality, [that] their bodies would be dishonored among themselves,

and likewise also the males, abandoning the natural relations with the female, were inflamed in their desire toward one another, males with males committing the shameless deed, and receiving in themselves the penalty that was necessary for their error.

For whenever the Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature the things of the law, these, [although they] do not have the law, are a law to themselves,

For ignoring the righteousness of God, and seeking to establish their own, they did not subject themselves to the righteousness of God.

So then, the one who resists authority resists the ordinance [which is] from God, and those who resist will receive condemnation on themselves.
