For this reason, God delivered them over to vile passions: for their females exchanged their natural use for that which is against nature:

and in like manner also the males, leaving the natural use of the females, burned in their lusts one toward another, males with males practicing infamous lewdness, and receiving in them selves the due reward of their error.

without understanding, covenant-breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful;

For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed, lest he spare not you.

For if you were cut out from an olive-tree that is wild by nature, and were grafted, against nature, into a good olive, how much more shall these, which are the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive?
