22You shall not commit sexual acts with a male, in place of sexual intercourse with a female, for this is an abomination.

9Do you not know that the iniquitous will not possess the kingdom of God? Do not choose to wander astray. For neither fornicators, nor servants of idolatry, nor adulterers,

26Because of this, God handed them over to shameful passions. For example, their females have exchanged the natural use of the body for a use which is against nature. 27And similarly, the males also, abandoning the natural use of females, have burned in their desires for one another: males doing with males what is disgraceful, and receiving within themselves the recompense that necessarily results from their error.

13If any man has slept with a male in place of sexual intercourse with a female, both have committed a nefarious act, they shall die a death. So let their blood be upon them.

10for fornicators, for males who sleep with males, for kidnappers, for liars, for perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound doctrine,

9Do you not know that the iniquitous will not possess the kingdom of God? Do not choose to wander astray. For neither fornicators, nor servants of idolatry, nor adulterers, 10nor the effeminate, nor males who sleep with males, nor thieves, nor the avaricious, nor the inebriated, nor slanderers, nor the rapacious shall possess the kingdom of God. 11And some of you were like this. But you have been absolved, but you have been sanctified, but you have been justified: all in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.

26Because of this, God handed them over to shameful passions. For example, their females have exchanged the natural use of the body for a use which is against nature. 27And similarly, the males also, abandoning the natural use of females, have burned in their desires for one another: males doing with males what is disgraceful, and receiving within themselves the recompense that necessarily results from their error. 28And since they did not prove to have God by knowledge, God handed them over to a morally depraved way of thinking, so that they might do those things which are not fitting: 29having been completely filled with all iniquity, malice, fornication, avarice, wickedness; full of envy, murder, contention, deceit, spite, gossiping; 30slanderous, hateful toward God, abusive, arrogant, self-exalting, devisers of evil, disobedient to parents, 31foolish, disorderly; without affection, without fidelity, without mercy.

5A woman shall not be clothed with manly apparel, nor shall a man make use of feminine apparel. For whoever does these things is abominable with God.

4May marriage be honorable in every way, and may the marriage bed be immaculate. For God will judge fornicators and adulterers.

4For thus says the Lord to the eunuchs: They will keep my Sabbaths, and they will choose the things that I will, and they will hold to my covenant. 5I will give them a place in my house, within my walls, and a name better than sons and daughters. I will give them an everlasting name, which will never perish.

8But we know that the law is good, if one makes use of it properly. 9Knowing this, that the law was not set in place for the just, but for the unjust and the insubordinate, for the impious and sinners, for the wicked and the defiled, for those who commit patricide, matricide, or homicide, 10for fornicators, for males who sleep with males, for kidnappers, for liars, for perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound doctrine, 11which is in accord with the Gospel of the glory of the blessed God, the Gospel which has been entrusted to me.

6But from the beginning of creation, God made them male and female. 7Because of this, a man shall leave behind his father and mother, and he shall cling to his wife. 8And these two shall be one in flesh. And so, they are now, not two, but one flesh.

22For, while proclaiming themselves to be wise, they became foolish. 23And they exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for the likeness of an image of corruptible man, and of flying things, and of four-legged beasts, and of serpents. 24For this reason, God handed them over to the desires of their own heart for impurity, so that they afflicted their own bodies with indignities among themselves. 25And they exchanged the truth of God for a lie. And they worshipped and served the creature, rather than the Creator, who is blessed for all eternity. Amen. 26Because of this, God handed them over to shameful passions. For example, their females have exchanged the natural use of the body for a use which is against nature. 27And similarly, the males also, abandoning the natural use of females, have burned in their desires for one another: males doing with males what is disgraceful, and receiving within themselves the recompense that necessarily results from their error.
