into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted
beasts, and creepingthings. 24 Wherefore God also gave them up to

blessed for ever. Amen. 26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile
affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which
is againstnature: 27 And likewise also the men, leavingthe natural use of
the woman, burnedin their lust one toward another; men with men

5. workingthat which is unseemly, and receivingin themselves that
recompence of their error which was meet. 28 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; 29 Beingfilled with all
unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full

of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to

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

Christ, and the glory that should follow.

unto him of their substance. 4 And when much people were gathered
together, and were come to him out of every city, he spake by a parable: 5
A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way
side; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it. 6 And
some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprungup, it witheredaway,
because it lacked moisture. 7 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns
