highlighted Romans 1:24-32 NASB
Therefore aGod gave them over in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, so that their bodies would be bdishonored among them.For they exchanged the truth of God for a alie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, bwho is blessed forever. Amen.For this reason aGod gave them over to bdegrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural,and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, amen with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error.And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, aGod gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper,being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, evil; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malice; they are agossips,slanderers, ahaters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil, bdisobedient to parents,without understanding, untrustworthy, aunloving, unmerciful;and although they know the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of adeath, they not only do the same, but also bgive hearty approval to those who practice them.

"And the Father who sent Me, aHe has testified of Me. You have neither heard His voice at any time nor seen His form."You do not have aHis word abiding in you, for you do not believe Him whom He bsent."aYou search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; it is bthese that testify about Me;and you are unwilling to come to Me so that you may have life."aI do not receive glory from men;but I know you, that you do not have the love of God in yourselves."I have come in My Father's name, and you do not receive Me; aif another comes in his own name, you will receive him."How can you believe, when you areceive glory from one another and you do not seek bthe glory that is from cthe one and only God?"Do not think that I will accuse you before the Father; the one who accuses you is aMoses, in whom you have set your hope."For if you believed Moses, you would believe Me, for ahe wrote about Me."But aif you do not believe his writings, how will you believe My words?"

"aI can do nothing on My own initiative. As I hear, I judge; and bMy judgment is just, because I do not seek My own will, but cthe will of Him who sent Me."aIf I alone testify about Myself, My testimony is not true."There is aanother who testifies of Me, and I know that the testimony which He gives about Me is true."You have sent to John, and he ahas testified to the truth."But athe testimony which I receive is not from man, but I say these things so that you may be saved."He was athe lamp that was burning and was shining and you bwere willing to rejoice for a while in his light."But the testimony which I have is greater than the testimony of John; for athe works which the Father has given Me bto accomplish--the very works that I do--testify about Me, that the Father chas sent Me.

I beg You, do not torment me."For He had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man.
