Bible verses about "gay" | Noyes

²⁴ Wherefore God also gave them over in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to debase their bodies with one another; ²⁵ because they changed the true God for false gods, and adored and worshipped created things rather than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. ²⁶ For this cause God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women indulged in unnatural lust, ²⁷ and in like manner the men also, neglecting the natural use of the female, burned with lust for one another, men with men practising that which is shameful, and receiving in themselves the due recompense of their error.

¹ Wherefore thou art without excuse, O man that judgest, whoever thou art. For wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things. ² But we know that the judgment of God is according to truth against those who practise such things. ³ And dost thou suppose, O man, who art judging those who do such things, and art thyself doing the same, that thou wilt escape the judgment of God? ⁴ Or dost thou despise the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering, not knowing that the goodness of God is leading thee to repentance? ⁵ But according to thy hardness and impenitent heart, thou art treasuring up for thyself wrath against the day of wrath and of the manifestation of the righteous judgment of God, ⁶ who will render to every one according to his works; ⁷ everlasting life to those who by patient continuance in welldoing seek for glory, and honor, and incorruption; ⁸ but to those who are contentious, and disobedient to the truth; but obey unrighteousness, there will be wrath and indignation. ⁹ Tribulation and distress will be upon every soul of man whose works are evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Greek; ¹⁰ but glory, honor, and peace, to every one whoso works are good, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. ¹¹ For there is no respect of persons with God. ¹² For as many as have sinned without a law, will also perish without a law; and as many as have sinned under a law, will be judged by a law, ¹³ for it is not the hearers of a law who are righteous before God, but the doers of a law will be accounted righteous; ¹⁴ for when the gentiles, who have no law, do by nature what is required by the Law, these, having no law, are a law to themselves; ¹⁵ since they show that what the Law requireth is written in their hearts, their conscience bearing witness, and their thoughts in turn accusing or defending them; ¹⁶ in the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ, according to the gospel which I have preached. ¹⁷ But if thou art called a Jew, and restest on the Law, and makest thy boast of God, ¹⁸ and knowest his will, and approvest the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the Law; ¹⁹ and art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light to those who are in darkness, ²⁰ an instructor of those who lack wisdom, a teacher of babes, having the form of knowledge and of the truth in the Law, ²¹ dost thou then who teachest another, not teach thyself? Thou who proclaimest that others should not steal, dost thou steal? ²² Dost thou who forbiddest to commit adultery, thyself commit adultery? Thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou rob temples? ²³ Dost thou who boastest of the Law, dishonor God by breaking the Law? ²⁴ For, as it is written, "the name of God is on your account blasphemed among the gentiles." ²⁵ For circumcision is indeed a benefit to thee, if thou keep the Law; but if thou art a breaker of the Law, thy circumcision hath become uncircumcision. ²⁶ If then he who is uncircumcised keep the precepts of the Law, shall not he though uncircumcised be regarded as circumcised? ²⁷ Yea, those who are by nature uncircumcised, if they perform the law, will judge thee, who having a written Law and circumcision, art a breaker of the Law. ²⁸ For he is not a Jew, who is one outwardly, nor is that circumcision, which is outward, in the flesh; ²⁹ but he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is of the heart, spiritual, not literal, whose praise is not of men, but of God.

⁷ I would that all men were as I myself; but every one hath his own gift from God, one man this, and another that. ⁸ I say also to the unmarried and the widows, it is good for them to remain as I am; ⁹ but if they cannot control themselves, let them marry; for it is better to marry than to burn.

¹² One is the Lawgiver and Judge, he who is able to save, and to destroy; but who art thou, that judgest thy neighbor?

⁹ knowing this, that the Law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and unruly, for the ungodly and sinful, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, ¹⁰ for whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to the sound teaching,

³⁹ There is a second like it: "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself."

⁸ But if any one provideth not for his own, and especially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an unbeliever.

²⁶ For this cause God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women indulged in unnatural lust, ²⁷ and in like manner the men also, neglecting the natural use of the female, burned with lust for one another, men with men practising that which is shameful, and receiving in themselves the due recompense of their error.

⁸ Owe no one anything but brotherly love; for he that loveth others hath fulfilled the Law. ⁹ For these, "Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not covet," and every other commandment, are summed up in this precept, "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself." ¹⁰ Love worketh no ill to ones neighbor; therefore love is the fulfilling of the Law.

²⁸ There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is no male and female; for ye are all one in Christ Jesus;

¹⁴ For the whole Law is fulfilled in one commandment, even in this "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself."

⁶ But, from the beginning of the creation, [God] made them male and female. ⁷ "For this cause shall a man leave his father and his mother; ⁸ and the two shall become one flesh." So they are no longer two, but one flesh. ⁹ What therefore God joined together, let not man put asunder.

⁷ even as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities about them, in like manner with them giving themselves over to fornication, and going away after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of everlasting fire.

⁴ Let marriage be honored in all respects, and the bed be undefiled; but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.

⁹ Know ye not, that wrongdoers shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor the effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, ¹⁰ nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. ¹¹ And such were some of you; but ye were washed, but ye were made holy, but ye were accepted as righteous in the name of the Lord Jesus, and in the Spirit of our God.

²⁶ For this cause God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women indulged in unnatural lust, ²⁷ and in like manner the men also, neglecting the natural use of the female, burned with lust for one another, men with men practising that which is shameful, and receiving in themselves the due recompense of their error. ²⁸ And as they did not choose to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them up to a reprobate mind, to do things which are shameful;
