Betray also fits: “To give aid or information to an enemy of; commit treason against,” “To deliver into the hands of an enemy in violation of a trust or allegiance.” This would mean that God betrayed the philosophy of the Old Testament for the New Testament. Also: “To make known unintentionally,” “To reveal against one’s desire or will.” I think Leviticus 18:22; 20:13 got corrupted from meaning pederasty to adult homosexuality sometime before Jesus, and therefore God had to commit, deliver, give, recommend, bring forth it (bisexuality) more clearly, and in a kind of betrayal to the Jews. God gave over Jewish belief.
“1325” overwhelmingly means “give.”
Pocket Oxford Classical Greek Dictionary, 2002, p. 243, “παρα-δίδωμι”:
I think “abandon” is because of the spin in Romans 1:24-27, because “abandon” contradicts the overwhelming predominate meaning, e.g.:
http://www.answers.com/abandon, “abandon”:
To withdraw one's support or help from … To surrender one's claim to, right to, or interest in; give up entirely
http://www.answers.com/entrust, “entrust”:
To give over (something) to another for care, protection, or performance … To place a trust upon
Not to mention “grant” and “allow.”
