²⁶ For this reason, God gave them up to vile passions. For their women changed the natural function into that which is against nature.

⁷ Even as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them, having, in the same way as these, given themselves over to sexual immorality and gone after strange flesh, are set forth as an example, suffering the punishment of eternal fire.

¹⁰ for the sexually immoral, for homosexuals, for slave-traders, for liars, for perjurers, and for any other thing contrary to the sound doctrine;

⁹ Or don't you know that the unrighteous will not inherit the Kingdom of God? Don't be deceived. Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor male prostitutes, nor homosexuals,

²² "'You shall not lie with a man, as with a woman. That is detestible.

²³ "'You shall not lie with any animal to defile yourself with it; neither shall any woman give herself to an animal, to lie down with it: it is a perversion.

²⁴ "'Don't defile yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations which I am casting out before you were defiled.

²⁵ The land was defiled: therefore I punished its iniquity, and the land vomitted out her inhabitants.

²⁶ You therefore shall keep my statutes and my ordinances, and shall not do any of these abominations; neither the native-born, nor the stranger who lives as a foreigner among you;

²⁷ (for all these abominations have the men of the land done, that were before you, and the land became defiled);

²⁸ that the land not vomit you out also, when you defile it, as it vomited out the nation that was before you.

⁵ They called to Lot, and said to him, "Where are the men who came in to you this night? Bring them out to us, that we may have sex with them."

⁵ not in the passion of lust, even as the Gentiles who don't know God;

²⁴ Therefore God also gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to uncleanness, that their bodies should be dishonored among themselves,

²² As they were making their hearts merry, behold, the men of the city, certain base fellows, beset the house round about, beating at the door; and they spoke to the master of the house, the old man, saying, Bring forth the man who came into your house, that we may know him.

¹⁰ But these speak evil of whatever things they don't know. What they understand naturally, like the creatures without reason, in these things are they destroyed.

¹² For the things which are done by them in secret, it is a shame even to speak of.

¹⁹ who having become callous gave themselves up to lust, to work all uncleanness with greediness.

²⁸ Even as they refused to have God in their knowledge, God gave them up to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not fitting;

¹⁷ There shall be no prostitute of the daughters of Israel, neither shall there be a sodomite of the sons of Israel.

¹⁸ You shall not bring the hire of a prostitute, or the wages of a dog, into the house of Yahweh your God for any vow: for even both these are an abomination to Yahweh your God.
