Romans 1:27 Made Simple

KJV ORIGINAL

And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

Close to the original. Clear modern English.

✦ MADE SIMPLE

And the men did the same thing — they turned away from natural relationships with women and burned with intense desire for each other. Men were intimate with men, doing things that went against the natural order, and they faced the consequences that came with that choice.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

When people turn away from God's design for relationships, they end up facing the natural consequences of that decision.
