Romans 1:24-31. Paul’s point in the first three chapters of Romans is that everyone, both gentile and Jew, is a sinner in need of God’s grace. Writing from Corinth, the worship center of Aphrodite, a goddess that represented both sexes, Paul describes gentiles with the illustration of same-gender temple orgies that he knows his Jewish audience will associate negatively with idolatry.
Warumi 1:24-31. Sisitizo la Paulo katika mafungu matatu ya kwanza katika Kitabu cha Warumi, ni kuwa kila mtu, Myahudi kwa Myunani, ni mwenye dhambi na ahitaji neema ya Mwenyezi Mungu. Akiandika kutoka Korintho, ambako ni mji mkuu wa kuabudia Aphrodite, mungu wa kike aliyewakilisha jinsia zote mbili, Paulo anawaeleza Wayunani huku akitoa mfano wa huduma za anasa za watu wa jinsia moja katika hekalu, akijua kwamba Wayahudi waliomsikiliza wangechukuwa mambo haya kwa kinai.
