1 Corinthians 6:9-11

9Or do you not know that the unrighteous
Or wrongdoers
will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: bneither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality,
The two Greek terms translated by this phrase refer to the passive and active partners in consensual homosexual acts
10nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. 11And dsuch were some of you. But eyou were washed, fyou were sanctified, gyou were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.

1 Timothy 1:13-16

13though formerly I was a blasphemer, hpersecutor, and insolent opponent. But iI received mercy jbecause I had acted ignorantly in unbelief, 14and kthe grace of our Lord overflowed for me with the lfaith and love that are in Christ Jesus. 15The saying is mtrustworthy and deserving of full acceptance, that Christ Jesus ncame into the world to save sinners, oof whom I am the foremost. 16But I received mercy for this reason, that in me, as the foremost, Jesus Christ might display his perfect patience as an example to those who were to believe in him for eternal life.
