Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones.

For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature;

That is why God abandoned them to their shameful desires. Even the women turned against the natural way to have sex and instead indulged in sex with each other.

For this reason God delivered them over to disgraceful passions. Their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones.

For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged natural relations for that which is contrary to nature,

For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature.

For this cause God gave them up unto vile passions: for their women changed the natural use into that which is against nature:

The people of Sodom and Gomorrah and the towns around them also did evil things. They freely committed sexual sins. They committed sins of the worst possible kind. There is a fire that never goes out. Those people are an example of those who are punished with it.

It is for those who commit sexual sins. It is for those who commit homosexual acts. It is for people who buy and sell slaves. It is for liars. It is for people who tell lies in court. It is for those who are a witness to things that aren’t true. And it is for anything else that is the opposite of true teaching.

“‘ Do not have sex with a man as you would have sex with a woman. I hate that.“‘ Do not have sex with an animal. Do not make yourself“ unclean” by doing that. A woman must not offer herself to an animal to have sex with it. That is a wrong use of sex.“‘ Do not make yourselves“ unclean” in any of these ways. That is how other nations became“ unclean.” So I am going to drive those nations out of the land to make room for you.Even their land was not“ clean.” So I punished it because of its sin. The land itself threw out the people who lived there.But you must keep my rules and my laws. You must not do any of the things I hate. It does not matter whether you are Israelites or outsiders.All these things were done by the people who lived in the land before you. That is how the land became“ unclean.”If you make the land“ unclean,” it will throw you out. It will get rid of you just as it got rid of the nations there before you.

So God let them go. He allowed them to do what their sinful hearts wanted to. He let them commit sexual sins. They made one another’s bodies impure by what they did.

They called out to Lot. They said,“ Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us. We want to have sex with them.”

They have lost all feeling for what is right. So they have given themselves over to all kinds of evil pleasures. They take part in every kind of unclean act. And they are full of greed.

Don’t you know that people who do wrong will not receive God’s kingdom? Don’t be fooled. Those who commit sexual sins will not receive the kingdom. Neither will those who worship statues of gods or commit adultery. Neither will men who sleep with other men.

They were inside enjoying themselves. But some of the evil men who lived in the city surrounded the house. They pounded on the door. They shouted to the old man who owned the house. They said,“ Bring out the man who came to your house. We want to have sex with him.”

They didn’t think it was important to know God. So God let them continue to have evil thoughts. They did things they shouldn’t do.

Don’t desire to commit sexual sins like people who don’t know God.

It is shameful even to talk about what people who don’t obey do in secret.

A man or woman in Israel must not become a temple prostitute.The Lord your God hates the money that men and women get for being prostitutes. So don’t take that money into the house of the Lord to pay what you promised to give.

But these people say evil things against whatever they don’t understand. And the very things they do understand will destroy them. That’s because they are like wild animals that can’t think for themselves. Instead, they do what comes naturally to them.
