God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor
adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders 10nor
thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit
the kingdom of God.

detestable.
Leviticus 20
13 " 'If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of

be on their own heads.
Romans 1
God's Wrath Against Mankind
18The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the
godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness,
19since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has
made it plain to them. 20For since the creation of the world God's
invisible qualities--his eternal power and divine nature--have been clearly
seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.
21For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor
gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts
were darkened. 22Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools
23and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look
like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles. 24Therefore God
gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the
degrading of their bodies with one another. 25They exchanged the
truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the
Creator--who is forever praised. Amen. 26Because of this, God gave
them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for
unnatural ones. 27In the same way the men also abandoned natural
relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed
indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for
their perversion. 28Furthermore, since they did not think it
worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind,
to do what ought not to be done. 29They 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, 30slanderers,
God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil;
they disobey their parents; 31they are senseless, faithless,
heartless, ruthless. 32Although they know God's righteous decree that
those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very
things but also approve of those who practice them.
1 Corinthians 6
9Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of
God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor
adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders 10nor
thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit
the kingdom of God. 11And that is what some of you were. But you were
washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus
Christ and by the Spirit of our God.
1 Timothy 1
9We also know that law is made not for the righteous but
for lawbreakers and rebels, the ungodly and sinful, the unholy and irreligious;
for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers, 10for
adulterers and perverts, for slave traders and liars and perjurers--and for
whatever else is contrary to the sound doctrine 11that conforms to
the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which he entrusted to me.
