Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed
be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous.
The husband should give to his wife her conjugal rights, and
likewise the wife to her husband. For the wife does not have authority
over her own body, but the husband does. Likewise the husband does not
have authority over his own body, but the wife does. Do not deprive one
another, except perhaps by agreement for a limited time, that you may
devote yourselves to prayer; but then come together again, so that Satan
may not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.
Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.
Let your fountain be blessed, and rejoice in the wife of your
youth, a lovely deer, a graceful doe. Let her breasts fill you at all
times with delight; be intoxicated always in her love.
But because of the temptation to sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife and each woman her own husband.
Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is
outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own
body.
For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you abstain
from sexual immorality; that each one of you know how to control his own
body in holiness and honor, not in the passion of lust like the
Gentiles who do not know God;
Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: sexual immorality,
impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.
Do not deprive one another, except perhaps by agreement for a
limited time, that you may devote yourselves to prayer; but then come
together again, so that Satan may not tempt you because of your lack of
self-control.
The sexually immoral, men who practice homosexuality, enslavers,
liars, perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound doctrine,
But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful
intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is
outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own
body. Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit
within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were
bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.
Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the
kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor
idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor
thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will
inherit the kingdom of God.
Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality,
impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits
of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, envy, drunkenness, orgies,
and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those
who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
He who commits adultery lacks sense; he who does it destroys himself.
“Food is meant for the stomach and the stomach for food”—and God
will destroy both one and the other. The body is not meant for sexual
immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.
Now concerning the matters about which you wrote: “It is good for a
man not to have sexual relations with a woman.” But because of the
temptation to sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife and
each woman her own husband.
If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have
committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death; their blood
is upon them.
You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination.
For God has not called us for impurity, but in holiness.
For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you abstain from sexual immorality;
“You shall not commit adultery.
And he said, “What comes out of a person is what defiles him. For
from within, out of the heart of man, come evil thoughts, sexual
immorality, theft, murder, adultery, coveting, wickedness, deceit,
sensuality, envy, slander, pride, foolishness. All these evil things
come from within, and they defile a person.”
But sexual immorality and all impurity or covetousness must not even be named among you, as is proper among saints.
The Song of Songs, which is Solomon's. Let him kiss me with the
kisses of his mouth! For your love is better than wine; your anointing
oils are fragrant; your name is oil poured out; therefore virgins love
you. Draw me after you; let us run. The king has brought me into his
chambers. We will exult and rejoice in you; we will extol your love more
than wine; rightly do they love you. I am very dark, but lovely, O
daughters of Jerusalem, like the tents of Kedar, like the curtains of
Solomon.
That each one of you know how to control his own body in holiness and honor,
Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the
kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor
idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality,
For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For
their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to
nature; and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and
were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless
acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their
error.

“I have made a covenant with my eyes; how then could I gaze at a virgin?
“All things are lawful for me,” but not all things are helpful.
“All things are lawful for me,” but I will not be enslaved by anything.
“Food is meant for the stomach and the stomach for food”—and God will
destroy both one and the other. The body is not meant for sexual
immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body. And God raised
the Lord and will also raise us up by his power. Do you not know that
your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of
Christ and make them members of a prostitute? Never! Or do you not know
that he who is joined to a prostitute becomes one body with her? For, as
it is written, “The two will become one flesh.”
Your shoots are an orchard of pomegranates with all choicest
fruits, henna with nard, nard and saffron, calamus and cinnamon, with
all trees of frankincense, myrrh and aloes, with all choice spices— a
garden fountain, a well of living water, and flowing streams from
Lebanon. Awake, O north wind, and come, O south wind! Blow upon my
garden, let its spices flow. Let my beloved come to his garden, and eat
its choicest fruits.
So flee youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love,
and peace, along with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart.
Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to
impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, because
they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served
the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen. For
this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women
exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; and
the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed
with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and
receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error.
For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual
immorality, theft, false witness, slander. These are what defile a
person. But to eat with unwashed hands does not defile anyone.”
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.
“Woe to him who makes his neighbors drink— you pour out your wrath
and make them drunk, in order to gaze at their nakedness!
Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality,
For the commandments, “You shall not commit adultery, You shall not
murder, You shall not steal, You shall not covet,” and any other
commandment, are summed up in this word: “You shall love your neighbor
as yourself.”
And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were
sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and
by the Spirit of our God.
And God blessed them. And God said to them, “Be fruitful and
multiply and fill the earth and subdue it and have dominion over the
fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living
thing that moves on the earth.”
Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves
the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the
world—the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride in
possessions—is not from the Father but is from the world.
Brothers, if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are
spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on
yourself, lest you too be tempted. Bear one another's burdens, and so
fulfill the law of Christ. For if anyone thinks he is something, when he
is nothing, he deceives himself. But let each one test his own work,
and then his reason to boast will be in himself alone and not in his
neighbor. For each will have to bear his own load.
Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the
kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor
idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor
thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will
inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were
washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord
Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.

Your stature is like a palm tree, and your breasts are like its clusters.
The two angels came to Sodom in the evening, and Lot was sitting in
the gate of Sodom. When Lot saw them, he rose to meet them and bowed
himself with his face to the earth and said, “My lords, please turn
aside to your servant's house and spend the night and wash your feet.
Then you may rise up early and go on your way.” They said, “No; we will
spend the night in the town square.” But he pressed them strongly; so
they turned aside to him and entered his house. And he made them a feast
and baked unleavened bread, and they ate. But before they lay down, the
men of the city, the men of Sodom, both young and old, all the people
to the last man, surrounded the house. And they called to Lot, “Where
are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us, that we may
know them.”
But before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom,
both young and old, all the people to the last man, surrounded the
house. And they called to Lot, “Where are the men who came to you
tonight? Bring them out to us, that we may know them.” Lot went out to
the men at the entrance, shut the door after him, and said, “I beg you,
my brothers, do not act so wickedly. Behold, I have two daughters who
have not known any man. Let me bring them out to you, and do to them as
you please. Only do nothing to these men, for they have come under the
shelter of my roof.”
Now therefore, kill every male among the little ones, and kill
every woman who has known man by lying with him. But all the young girls
who have not known man by lying with him keep alive for yourselves.
Now Adam knew Eve his wife, and she conceived and bore Cain, saying, “I have gotten a man with the help of the

And he broke down the houses of the male cult prostitutes who were in the house of the
Lord, where the women wove hangings for the Asherah.
He put away the male cult prostitutes out of the land and removed all the idols that his fathers had made.
And Adam knew his wife again, and she bore a son and called his

Just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding cities, which
likewise indulged in sexual immorality and pursued unnatural desire,
serve as an example by undergoing a punishment of eternal fire.
He is not afraid of bad news; his heart is firm, trusting in the

Cain knew his wife, and she conceived and bore Enoch. When he built

Enoch.
