Romans 1:28-32 GNB
Because those people refuse to keep in mind the true knowledge about God, he has given them over to corrupted minds, so that they do the things that they should not do. (29) They are filled with all kinds of wickedness, evil, greed, and vice; they are full of jealousy, murder, fighting, deceit, and malice. They gossip (30) and speak evil of one another; they are hateful to God, insolent, proud, and boastful; they think of more ways to do evil; they disobey their parents; (31) they have no conscience; they do not keep their promises, and they show no kindness or pity for others. (32) They know that God's law says that people who live in this way deserve death. Yet, not only do they continue to do these very things, but they even approve of others who do them.
Romans 1:28-32 GW
And because they thought it was worthless to acknowledge God, God allowed their own immoral minds to control them. So they do these indecent things. (29) Their lives are filled with all kinds of sexual sins, wickedness, and greed. They are mean. They are filled with envy, murder, quarreling, deceit, and viciousness. They are gossips, (30) slanderers, haters of God, haughty, arrogant, and boastful. They think up new ways to be cruel. They don't obey their parents, (31) don't have any sense, don't keep promises, and don't show love to their own families or mercy to others. (32) Although they know God's judgment that those who do such things deserve to die, they not only do these things but also approve of others who do them.
Romans 1:28-32 BBE
(28) And because they had not the mind to keep God in their knowledge, God gave them up to an evil mind, to do those things which are not right;
(29) Being full of all wrongdoing, evil, desire for the goods of others, hate, envy, putting to death, fighting, deceit, cruel ways, evil talk, and false statements about others;
(30) Hated by God, full of pride, without respect, full of loud talk, given to evil inventions, not honouring father or mother,
(31) Without knowledge, not true to their undertakings, unkind, having no mercy:
(32) Who, though they have knowledge of the law of God, that the fate of those who do these things is death, not only go on doing these things themselves, but give approval to those who do them.
Romans 1:28-32 ASV
(28) And even as they refused to have God in their knowledge, God gave them up unto a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not fitting;
(29) being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
(30) backbiters, hateful to God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
(31) without understanding, covenant-breakers, without natural affection, unmerciful:
(32) who, knowing the ordinance of God, that they that practise such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but also consent with them that practise them.
Romans 1:28-32 LITV
(28) And even as they did not think fit to have God in their knowledge, God gave them up to a reprobate mind, to do the things not right,
(29) having been filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, iniquity, covetousness, malice, being full of envy, murder, quarrels, deceit, evil habits, becoming whisperers,
(30) slanderers, God-haters, insolent, proud, braggarts, devisers of evil things, disobedient to parents,
(31) without discernment, covenant breakers, without natural affection, unforgiving, unmerciful,
(32) who knowing the righteous order of God, that those practicing such things are worthy of death, not only do them, but also approve those practicing them.
