Warumi 1:21-28
[21]kwa sababu, walipomjua Mungu hawakumtukuza kama ndiye Mungu wala kumshukuru; bali walipotea katika uzushi wao, na mioyo yao yenye ujinga ikatiwa giza.
Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
[22]Wakijinena kuwa wenye hekima walipumbazika;
Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
[23]wakaubadili utukufu wa Mungu asiye na uharibifu kwa mfano wa sura ya binadamu aliye na uharibifu, na ya ndege, na ya wanyama, na ya vitambaavyo.
And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
[24]Kwa ajili ya hayo Mungu aliwaacha katika tamaa za mioyo yao, waufuate uchafu, hata wakavunjiana heshima miili yao.
Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
[25]Kwa maana waliibadili kweli ya Mungu kuwa uongo, wakakisujudia kiumbe na kukiabudu badala ya Muumba anayehimidiwa milele. Amina.
Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
[26]Hivyo Mungu aliwaacha wafuate tamaa zao za aibu, hata wanawake wakabadili matumizi ya asili kwa matumizi yasiyo ya asili;
For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
[27]wanaume nao vivyo hivyo waliyaacha matumizi ya mke, ya asili, wakawakiana tamaa, wanaume wakiyatenda yasiyopasa, wakapata nafsini mwao malipo ya upotevu wao yaliyo haki yao.
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.
[28]Na kama walivyokataa kuwa na Mungu katika fahamu zao, Mungu aliwaacha wafuate akili zao zisizofaa, wayafanye yasiyowapasa.
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;
Unajua watu waliokwisha haribika fahamu zao kwa jinsi Mungu alivyokwisha waacha hawawezi tena kupambanua kati ya mema na batili.
Wanazitumainia hekima za binadamu badala ya hekima ya Mungu ambayo ni neno lake.
Alicholaani Mungu mwanadamu hana mamlaka ya kukibariki na alichobariki Mungu mwanadamu hana mamlaka ya kukilaani.
Katika eneo hili ndipo kanisa la kimapokeo nje ya kweli ya neno walipopigwa upofu.
