And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

people having been filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, and evil; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, and malice; they are gossips,

Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,

slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents,

Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

without understanding, untrustworthy, unfeeling, and unmerciful;

Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:

and although they know the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, they not only do the same, but also approve of those who practice them.

Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
