English term or phrase: hint at worse
Instead of knowing the Lord God, walking with Him, and fulfilling His glorious plans, human beings degrade themselves and behave in unspeakably dirty, selfish, violent and disgusting ways. Instead of reflecting God's goodness, they sink to the horrible sins listed by the apostle in Romans 1.29-31. Make a selection of those offences known to your class, and ***hint at worse***.

English translation:refer obliquely to worse sins
Explanation:
If you are teaching children in a Sunday school, there are some sins which it would be inappropriate to describe to them in any detail, but you should let them know somehow that these worse sins do exist.
