Sexual Impurity

You are not to sleep with a man as with a woman; it is detestable.

If a man sleeps with a man as with a woman, they have both committed a detestable act. They must be put to death; their death is their own fault.

But I tell you, everyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

Don’t you know that the unrighteous will not inherit God’s kingdom? Do not be deceived: No sexually immoral people, idolaters, adulterers, or males who have sex with males,

“Food is for the stomach and the stomach for food,” and God will do away with both of them. However, the body is not for sexual immorality but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.

Flee sexual immorality! Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the person who is sexually immoral sins against his own body.

No temptation has come upon you except what is common to humanity. But God is faithful; he will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation he will also provide a way out so that you may be able to bear it.

But sexual immorality and any impurity or greed should not even be heard of among you, as is proper for saints.

For this is God’s will, your sanctification: that you keep away from sexual immorality,

Flee from youthful passions, and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart.

Marriage is to be honored by all and the marriage bed kept undefiled, because God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers.
