“For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature;
and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error.”
(New Testament, Romans 1: 26, 27)
I’ve reasoned to this speculative understanding: Paul, while writing as a man, wrote circumspectly in verse 26 about women just out of a sense of decorum; whereas in verse 27 about “men” he spelled it out thoroughly, no holds barred—so to speak.
