In our verse by verse study of Romans we are in Romans 1:32;
The expanded translation up to where we stopped last time is:"Such are those who although they have total perception of the legal requirements of the God's justice, (that those who practice such things..."
The next English word is "worthy of" that is translated from the predicate nominative masculine plural from the adjective "axios" that means deserving of or worthy of; "death" the descriptive genitive singular of the Greek word "thanatos."
The person described is aware of his status quo in spiritual death, but this refers to physical death or the sin unto death that is the maximum execution of the God's justice in time that is directed toward any category of reversionism by believer or unbeliever.
In this case it is the sin unto death of the unbeliever that is in view. Translation: "are deserving of death."
"not only do the same" - the strong negative "ou" plus the adjective in the neuter from "monos" used as an adverb limiting the action or state to that designated by the verb plus the present active indicative of "poieo" translated "do."
This is a customary present that denotes what habitually occurs as a result of their maladjustment to the God's justice. The active voice refers to those who have total cognizance of the gospel and reject it who produce the action of the verb.
The indicative mood is declarative representing the verbal action from the viewpoint of historical and actual reality, "not only do."
"the same" is the accusative plural direct object of the intensive pronoun "autos" that emphasizes the identity of the unbeliever reversionist who because he has rejected Jesus Christ as savior has entered into heathenism or unbeliever reversionism. It means "the same things" here.
"but have pleasure in those that do them" - begins with an adversative conjunction of contrast, "alla" translated "but." With the adjunctive use of "kai," translated "also."
Then the present active indicative from the compound verb "syneudokeo" (syn = together with; eudokeo = to think well, to approve) connoting hearty approval, and hence to approve with another is to be in accord with a principle, or to agree with.
We translate it, "but also give hearty approval." The present tense is a perfective present that denotes the continuation of existing results.
It refers to hearty approval given to those practicing the same evil things, hearty approval demonstrated in past history but emphasized as a present reality for this type of activity.
The active voice: reversionistic unbelievers maladjusted to the God's justice add their opinion as an encouragement to others to do likewise.
Principle: How much are you influenced by public opinion that is comprised of the vacillating public lie? God's opinion is immutable truth from Bible doctrine.
"practice them" is from the articular present active participle of "prasso." Again it means "to those who practice" the evil deeds of heathenism, and we have the present tense as a retroactive progressive present. The active voice: people are approving what other reversionists are doing.
Expanded Translation: Rom 1:32; "Such are those who although they have total perception of the legal requirements of the God's justice, (that those who practice such things are deserving of death) not only are doing the same things, but also give their hearty approval to those who practice the same evil deeds of heathenism."
Some principles that come from this verse include: While religion is without doctrine, the unbeliever is without excuse so there is no excuse for the heathen, the reversionistic unbeliever.
Reversionistic unbelievers have rejected the God and His Gospel from a position of complete and total cognizance. The reversionistic unbeliever is totally cognizant of the God's justice and the propitiatory work of Christ on the cross.
The God's justice has judged our sins on the cross. 2 Cor 5:21; 1Pet. 2:24; Instant adjustment to the God's justice at salvation is as simple as Ephesians 2:8,9; Acts 16:31;
Rejection of Jesus Christ as savior is instant maladjustment to the God's justice. One of the blessings of instant adjustment to the God's justice at salvation is to have a permanent relationship with God. On the other hand, to refuse the God's justice is the worst thing that can happen to any human being.
The God's justice may bless or discipline the believer but the God's justice never abandons any believer but the reversionistic unbeliever is a situation where the God's justice leaves unbelievers with no hope apart from repentance from unbelief in Jesus Christ.
There is a sign for the unbeliever at the entrance into reversionistic heathenism:" Abandon all hope, those who enter here."
This sign is based on the principle that the only source of help, the only ray of hope is to obey the God, comply with His justice and believe in Jesus Christ.
This is the end of our verse-by-verse study of Romans chapter one. Our expanded translation goes as follows.

Rom 1:26; "Because of this (exchange of doctrine for evil) the God delivered them over to passions of dishonor (sexual perversions of degeneracy): for even their females exchanged the normal function (of sex) for that which is contrary to or beyond nature or abnormal."
Rom 1:27; "But also in the same manner even the males (homosexuals), after they first abandoned the normal sexual function of the female, became inflamed with sexual desire in their lust toward each other (of the same category); accomplishing the perverted act, and receiving back payment in themselves the appropriate penalty for their perversion"
