⁹ Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God?^(A) Do not be deceived:^(B) Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers^(C) nor men who have sex with men^[a](D)

¹³ “‘If a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable.^(A) They are to be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.

²² “‘Do not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman;^(A) that is detestable.^(B)

²⁶ Because of this, God gave them over^(A) to shameful lusts.^(B) Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones.^{(C) 27} In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.^(D)

²⁸ Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over^(E) to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done. ²⁹ They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips,^{(F) 30} slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents;^{(G) 31} they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love,^(H) no mercy. ³² Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death,^(I) they not only continue to do these very things but also approve^(J) of those who practice them.
