²⁶ Because of this did God give them up to dishonourable affections, for even their females did change the natural use into that against nature;

⁷ as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them, in like manner to these, having given themselves to whoredom, and gone after other flesh, have been set before -- an example, of fire age-during, justice suffering.

¹⁰ whoremongers, sodomites, men-stealers, liars, perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that to sound doctrine is adverse,

⁹ have ye not known that the unrighteous the reign of God shall not inherit? be not led astray; neither whoremongers, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor sodomites,

²² `And with a male thou dost not lie as one lieth with a woman; abomination it `is'.

²³ `And with any beast thou dost not give thy copulation, for uncleanness with it; and a woman doth not stand before a beast to lie down with it; confusion it `is'.

²⁴ `Ye are not defiled with all these, for with all these have the nations been defiled which I am sending away from before you;

²⁵ and the land is defiled, and I charge its iniquity upon it, and the land vomiteth out its inhabitants:

²⁶ and ye -- ye have kept My statutes and My judgments, and do not `any' of all these abominations, the native and the sojourner who is sojourning in your midst,

²⁷ (for all these abominations have the men of the land done who `are' before you, and the land is defiled),

²⁸ and the land doth not vomit you out in your defiling it, as it hath vomited out the nation which `is' before you;

⁵ and they call unto Lot and say to him, `Where `are' the men who have come in unto thee to-night? bring them out unto us, and we know them.'

⁵ not in the affection of desire, as also the nations that were not knowing God,

²⁴ Wherefore also God did give them up, in the desires of their hearts, to uncleanness, to dishonour their bodies among themselves;

²² They are making their heart glad, and lo, men of the city, men -- sons of worthlessness -- have gone round about the house, beating on the door, and they speak unto the old man, the master of the house, saying, `Bring out the man who hath come unto thine house, and we know him.'

¹⁰ and these, as many things indeed as they have not known, they speak evil of; and as many things as naturally (as the irrational beasts) they understand, in these they are corrupted;

¹² for the things in secret done by them it is a shame even to speak of,

¹⁹ who, having ceased to feel, themselves did give up to the lasciviousness, for the working of all uncleanness in greediness;

²⁸ And, according as they did not approve of having God in knowledge, God gave them up to a disapproved mind, to do the things not seemly;

¹⁷ `There is not a whore among the daughters of Israel, nor is there a whoremonger among the sons of Israel;

¹⁸ thou dost not bring a gift of a whore, or a price of a dog, into the house of Jehovah thy God, for any vow; for the abomination of Jehovah thy God `are' even both of them.
