         Paul’s Letter To The Romans            

24 - So then God gave them up to the desires of the hearts of them {versus creating an ant farm, let them go the way they wanted} to impurity, the dishonoring of their bodies among theirselves, 25 because they exchanged the truth of God for falsehood and they reverenced and served the created thing rather than the one having created - who is blessed to the ages, amen!

     26 So God gave them up to passions of dishonor. For the women exchanged the natural into that contrary to nature. 27 And the men gave up natural relations with women and were inflamed with passion for one another, male committing shameless acts with male and receiving in themselves the recompense {effects} of their error. 28 And since they did not approve of having knowledge of God, he let them go into a counterfeit and unfit mind to do what is not proper. 29 And man [anthropos/mankind] became filled with all manner of unrighteousness, evil, covetousness, malice. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, haters of God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, 31 foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless. 32 Though they know God's righteous decree that those practicing such are worthy [axios - from the base of ἄγω (agō), meaning to lead or to bring, worthy or deserving, implies a sense of balance or equivalence] of death, they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them.
