1 Corinthians 6:9-15
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. Flee Sexual Immorality
12 h“All things are lawful for me,” but not all things are helpful. “All things are lawful for me,” but I will not be dominated by anything. 13 i“Food is meant for the stomach and the stomach for food”—and God will destroy both one jand the other. The body is not meant for sexual immorality, but kfor the Lord, and lthe Lord for the body. 14And mGod raised the Lord and nwill also raise us up oby his power. 15Do you not know that pyour bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? Never!Ephesians 5:3
3But qsexual immorality and all impurity or covetousness rmust not even be named among you, as is proper among saints.
