Bible verses about "homosexaulity" | Moffatt

⁶ But from the beginning, when God created the world, Male and female, He created them: ⁷ hence a man shall leave his father and mother, ⁸ and the pair shall be one flesh. So they are no longer two, but one flesh.

²² They claimed to be wise, but they have become fools; ²³ they have exchanged the glory of the immortal God for the semblance of the likeness of mortal man, of birds, of quadrupeds, and of reptiles. ²⁴ So God has given them up, in their heart's lust, to sexual vice, to the dishonouring of their own bodies, — ²⁵ since they have exchanged the truth of God for an untruth, worshipping and serving the creature rather than the Creator who is blessed for ever: Amen. ²⁶ That is why God has given them up to vile passions; their women have exchanged the natural function of sex for what is unnatural, ²⁷ and in the same way the males have abandoned the natural use of women and flamed out in lust for one another, men perpetrating shameless acts with their own sex and getting in their own persons the due recompense of their perversity. ²⁸ Yes, as they disdained to acknowledge God any longer, God has given them up to a reprobate instinct, for the perpetration of what is improper, ²⁹ till they are filled with all manner of wickedness, depravity, lust, and viciousness, filled to the brim with envy, murder, quarrels, intrigues, and malignity — slanderers, ³⁰ defamers, loathed by God, outrageous, haughty, boastful, inventive in evil, disobedient to parents, ³¹ devoid of conscience, false to their word, callous, merciless; ³² though they know God's decree that people who practise such vice deserve death, they not only do it themselves but applaud those who practise it.

⁸ I am quite aware that 'the Law is admirable' — provided that one makes a lawful use of it; ⁹ he must keep in mind that no law is ever made for honest people but for the lawless and the insubordinate, for the impious and the sinful, for the irreverent and the profane, for parricides and matricides, murderers, ¹⁰ immoral persons, sodomites, kidnappers, liars, perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound doctrine ¹¹ as laid down by that glorious gospel of the blessed God with which I have been entrusted.

⁹ What! do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the Realm of God? Make no mistake about it; neither the immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor catamites nor sodomites ¹⁰ nor thieves nor the lustful nor the drunken nor the abusive nor robbers will inherit the Realm of God. ¹¹ Some of you were once like that; but you washed yourselves clean, you were consecrated, you were justified in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.

²⁶ That is why God has given them up to vile passions; their women have exchanged the natural function of sex for what is unnatural, ²⁷ and in the same way the males have abandoned the natural use of women and flamed out in lust for one another, men perpetrating shameless acts with their own sex and getting in their own persons the due recompense of their perversity. ²⁸ Yes, as they disdained to acknowledge God any longer, God has given them up to a reprobate instinct, for the perpetration of what is improper, ²⁹ till they are filled with all manner of wickedness, depravity, lust, and viciousness, filled to the brim with envy, murder, quarrels, intrigues, and malignity — slanderers, ³⁰ defamers, loathed by God, outrageous, haughty, boastful, inventive in evil, disobedient to parents, ³¹ devoid of conscience, false to their word, callous, merciless; ³² though they know God's decree that people who practise such vice deserve death, they not only do it themselves but applaud those who practise it.

¹ Therefore you are inexcusable, whoever you are, if you pose as a judge, for in judging another you condemn yourself; you, the judge, do the very same things yourself. ² 'We know the doom of God falls justly upon those who practise such vices.' ³ Very well; and do you imagine you will escape God's doom, O man, you who judge those who practise such vices and do the same yourself? ⁴ Or are you slighting all his wealth of kindness, forbearance, and patience? Do you not know his kindness is meant to make you repent?

⁴ Let marriage be held in honour by all, and keep the marriage-bed unstained. God will punish the vicious and adulterous.
