¹³ But the men of Sodom ^(A)were exceedingly wicked and ^(B)sinful against the Lord.

²² You shall not lie with ^(A)a male as with a woman. It is an abomination.

¹⁸ You shall not bring the wages of a harlot or the price of a dog to the house of the Lord your God for any vowed offering, for both of these are ^[a]an abomination to the Lord your God.

Gibeah’s Crime

²² As they were ^(A)enjoying themselves, suddenly ^(B)certain men of the city, ^(C)perverted^[a] men, surrounded the house and beat on the door. They spoke to the master of the house, the old man, saying, ^(D)“Bring out the man who came to your house, that we may know him carnally!”

^24 (A)Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, ^(B)to dishonor their bodies ^(C)among themselves, ²⁵ who exchanged ^(D)the truth of God ^(E)for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

²⁶ For this reason God gave them up to ^(F)vile passions. For even their ^[a]women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. ²⁷ Likewise also the ^[b]men, leaving the natural use of the ^[c]woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.
