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, ypersecutor, and insolent opponent. But zI received mercy aabecause I had acted ignorantly in unbelief, 14and abthe grace of our Lord overflowed for me with the acfaith and love that are in Christ Jesus. 15The saying is adtrustworthy and deserving of full acceptance, that Christ Jesus aecame into the world to save sinners, afof 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.

Titus 3:3-7

3For agwe ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, led astray, slaves to various passions and pleasures, passing our days in malice and envy, hated by others and hating one another. 4But when ahthe goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, 5he saved us, ainot because of works done by us in righteousness, but ajaccording to his own mercy, by akthe washing of regeneration and alrenewal of the Holy Spirit, 6whom he ampoured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7so that anbeing justified by his grace we might become aoheirs apaccording to the hope of eternal life.

1 Peter 4:2-5

2 axso as to live for aythe rest of the time in the flesh azno longer for human passions but bafor the will of God. 3For the time that is past bbsuffices bcfor doing what the Gentiles want to do, living in sensuality, passions, drunkenness, orgies, drinking parties, and lawless idolatry. 4With respect to this they are surprised when you do not join them in the same flood of bddebauchery, and bethey malign you; 5but they will give account to him who is ready bfto judge the living and the dead.
