⁹ Or ^(A)do you not know that the unrighteous will not ^(B)inherit the kingdom of God? ^(C)Do not be deceived; ^(D)neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor ^[a]homosexuals,

^13 (A)If there is a man who sleeps with a male as those who sleep with a woman, both of them have committed a detestable act; they must be put to death. They have brought their ^[a]own deaths upon themselves.

^22 (A)You shall not sleep with a male as ^[a]one sleeps with a female; it is an abomination.

²⁶ For this reason ^(A)God gave them over to ^(B)degrading passions; for their women exchanged natural relations for that which is contrary to nature, ²⁷ and likewise the men, too, abandoned natural relations ^[a]with women and burned in their desire toward one another, ^(C)males with males committing ^[b]shameful acts and receiving in ^[c]their own persons the due penalty of their error.

²⁸ And just as they did not see fit ^[d]to acknowledge God, ^(D)God gave them up to a depraved mind, to do those things that are not proper, ²⁹ people having been filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, and evil; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, and malice; they are ^(E)gossips, ³⁰ slanderers, ^[e](F)haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil, ^(G)disobedient to parents, ³¹ without understanding, untrustworthy, ^(H)unfeeling, and unmerciful; ³² and although they know the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of ^(I)death, they not only do the same, but also ^(J)approve of those who practice them.
