This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

Exchanged (metēllaxan). First aorist active indicative of metallassō, old word for exchanging trade, only here and Rom 1:26 in N.T. What a bargain they made, “the truth of God for (en) the (tōi) lie.” “The price of mythology” (Bengel).

Worshipped (esebasthēsan). First aorist passive (used transitively) of sebazomai, old verb, used in late Greek like sebomai, to worship.

Rather than the Creator (para ton ktisanta). Placed side by side (para, the Creator and the creature, ktisis) they preferred the creature.

Who is blessed forever. Amen (hos estin eulogētoṡ Amēn). One of Paul’s doxologies which may come at any moment when he is greatly stirred, as in Rom 9:5. Eulogētos is verbal of eulogeō.
