For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
– Romans 1:26-27
The consequences of turning away from God. The passage describes how people, rejecting God’s truth, were given over to “vile affections “engaging in behaviors that go against His intended design. Specifically, it mentions women and men abandoning natural relationships for unnatural ones, emphasizing the moral and spiritual consequences of such actions. Humanity’s tendency to reject God, leading to various forms of sin. Paul uses this example to illustrate how distancing oneself from God results in distorted desires and behaviors.
