Why do you want more beatings? Why do you keep on rebelling? The whole head is hurt, and the whole heart is sick.

in which you previously walked according to the ways of this world, according to the ruler who exercises authority over the lower heavens, the spirit now working in the disobedient.We too all previously lived among them in our fleshly desires, carrying out the inclinations of our flesh and thoughts, and we were by nature children under wrath as the others were also.

Therefore God delivered them over in the cravings of their hearts to sexual impurity, so that their bodies were degraded among themselves.They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served something created instead of the Creator, who is praised forever. Amen.This is why God delivered them over to degrading passions. For even their females exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones.
