SEV Biblia, Chapter 1:27
y del mismo modo tambin los machos, dejando el uso natural de las hembras, se encendieron en sus concupiscencias los unos con los otros, cometiendo cosas nefandas machos con machos, y recibiendo en sí mismos la recompensa que provino de su error.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Romans 1:27
Verse 27. Receiving in themselves that recompense, &c.] Both the women and men, by their unnatural prostitutions, enervated their bodies, so that barrenness prevailed, and those disorders which are necessarily attendant on prostitution and sodomitical practices.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 27. And likewise also the men leaving the natural use of the women , etc..] The very sin of sodomy is here designed, so called from Sodom, the place where we first hear of it, ( Genesis 19:5), the men of which place, because they burned in their lust one towards another , as these Gentiles are said to do, God rained upon them fire and brimstone from heaven: an exceeding great sin this is, contrary to nature, dishonourable to human nature, and scandalous to a people and nation among whom it prevails, as it did very much in the Gentile world, and among their greatest philosophers; even those that were most noted for moral virtue are charged with it, as Socrates, Plato, Zeno, and others f12 : it is a sin which generally prevails where idolatry and infidelity do, as among the Pagans of old, and among the Papists and Mahometans now; and never was it so rife in this nation as since the schemes of deism and infidelity have found such a reception among us. Thus God, because men dishonour him with their evil principles and practices, leaves them to reproach their own nature, and dishonour their own bodies: men with men working that which is unseemly ; and of which nothing like it is to be observed in the brutal world: receiving in themselves the recompence of their error, which was meet : God punishes sin with sin; for as the Jews say f13 , as one commandment draws on another, so one transgression draws on another; for the reward of the commandment is the commandment, hryb[ hryb[ rkw and the reward of transgression is transgression.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 26-32 - In the horrid depravity of the heathen, the truth of our Lord's word was shown: "Light was come into the world, but men loved darknes rather than light, because their deeds were evil; for he that doet evil hateth the light." The truth was not to their taste. And we all know how soon a man will contrive, against the strongest evidence, to reason himself out of the belief of what he dislikes. But a man cannot be brought to greater slavery than to be given up to his own lusts. A the Gentiles did not like to keep God in their knowledge, the committed crimes wholly against reason and their own welfare. The nature of man, whether pagan or Christian, is still the same; and the charges of the apostle apply more or less to the state and character of men at all times, till they are brought to full submission to the fait of Christ, and renewed by Divine power. There never yet was a man, wh had not reason to lament his strong corruptions, and his secret dislik to the will of God. Therefore this chapter is a call to self-examination, the end of which should be, a deep conviction of sin and of the necessity of deliverance from a state of condemnation __________________________________________________________________

1:27 {Turned} (exekauthsan). First aorist passive indicative, causative aorist, of ekkai", old verb, to burn out, to set on fire, to inflame with anger or lust. Here only in N.T. {Lust} (orexei). Only here in N.T. {Unseemliness} (aschmosunn). Old word from aschmon (deformed). In N.T. only here and #Re 16:15. {Recompense} (antimisqian). See on 2Co 6:13 for only other N.T. instance of this late Pauline word, there in good sense, here in bad. {Which was due} (hn edei). Imperfect active for obligation still on them coming down from the past. this debt will be paid in full (apolambanontes, pay back as in #Lu 6:34, and due as in #Lu 23:41). Nature will attend to that in their own bodies and souls.
