 1:26 ¶ WHEREFORE Aloha delivered them up to passions of vileness: for their females changed the use of their nature, and to what is not natural were used.

 1:26 For this cause, God gave them up to vile passions: for their females changed the use of their natures, and employed that which is unnatural.

 1:27 And also their males likewise left the natural use of their females, and were inflamed with concupiscence one with another, and male with male wrought shamefulness, and the just retribution for their perverseness in themselves received.

 1:27 And so also their males forsook the use of females, which is natural, and burned with lust toward one another; and, male with male, they did what is shameful, and received in themselves the just recompense of their error.

 1:31 (men) to whom a compact is nothing, and (who) neither love peace nor (have) mercy in them;
