The root cause of sin is godlessness . Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts . Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind , to do what ought not to be done.
Sin leads to death .
Although they know God's righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death , they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them. The penalty of sin has been paid for by the death of Jesus Christ.
