²²Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, ²³and traded the glory of the incorruptible God for the likeness of an image of corruptible man, and of birds, four-footed animals, and creeping things. ²⁴Therefore God also gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to uncleanness, that their bodies should be dishonoured among themselves; ²⁵who exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshipped and served…

Is God unrighteous who inflicts wrath? I speak like men do.
