For this cause, God gave them up unto dishonourable passions; for, even their females, exchanged away the natural use into that which is against nature, -

In like manner also, even the males, leaving the natural use of the female, flamed out in their eager desire one for another, males with males, the indecency, effecting, - and, the necessary recompence of their error, within themselves, duly receiving; -

Without discernment, regardless of covenants, without natural affection, unmerciful: -

For, if, God, hath not spared, the natural branches, neither, thee, will he spare!

For, if, thou, out of the naturally wild olive was cut out, and, beyond nature, hast been engrafted into the good olive, how much rather, shall these, the natural branches be engrafted into their own olive tree?

without natural affection, accepting no truce, given to intrigue, without self-control, uncivilized, unfriendly to good men,

Because, if any is, a word-hearer, and not a doer, the same, is like unto a man observing his natural face in a mirror, -

And, the tongue, is a fire, - as , the world of unrighteousness, the tongue, becometh fixed among our members, that which defileth the whole body and setteth on fire the wheel of our natural life, and is set on fire, by gehenna!
