2v19 And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.

2v21 And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;

5v5 To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

5v8 Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

Adultery (Sexual realtions with someone other than your husband or wife)

Genesis 39v1 And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hands of the Ishmeelites, which had brought him down thither.
39v2 And the LORD was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.
39v3 And his master saw that the LORD was with him, and that the LORD made all that he did to prosper in his hand.
39v4 And Joseph found grace in his sight, and he served him: and he made him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his hand.
39v5 And it came to pass from the time that he had made him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, that the LORD blessed the Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake; and the blessing of the LORD was upon all that he had in the house, and in the field.
39v6 And he left all that he had in Joseph's hand; and he knew not ought he had, save the bread which he did eat. And Joseph was a goodly person, and well favoured.
39v7 And it came to pass after these things, that his master's wife cast her eyes upon Joseph; and she said, Lie with me.
39v8 But he refused, and said unto his master's wife, Behold, my master wotteth not what is with me in the house, and he hath committed all that he hath to my hand;
39v9 There is none greater in this house than I; neither hath he kept back any thing from me but thee, because thou art his wife: how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?
39v10 And it came to pass, as she spake to Joseph day by day, that he hearkened not unto her, to lie by her, or to be with her.
39v11 And it came to pass about this time, that Joseph went into the house to do his business; and there was none of the men of the house there within.
39v12 And she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me: and he left his garment in her hand, and fled, and got him out.

2 Samuel 11v1 And it came to pass, after the year was expired, at the time when kings go forth to battle, that David sent Joab, and his servants with him, and all Israel; and they destroyed the children of Ammon, and besieged Rabbah. But David tarried still at Jerusalem.
11v2 And it came to pass in an eveningtide, that David arose from off his bed, and walked upon the roof of the king's house: and from the roof he saw a woman washing herself; and the woman was very beautiful to look upon.
11v3 And David sent and enquired after the woman. And one said, Is not this Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hittite?
11v4 And David sent messengers, and took her; and she came in unto him, and he lay with her; for she was purified from her uncleanness: and she returned unto her house.
11v5 And the woman conceived, and sent and told David, and said, I am with child.
11v6 And David sent to Joab, saying, Send me Uriah the Hittite. And Joab sent Uriah to David.
11v7 And when Uriah was come unto him, David demanded of him how Joab did, and how the people did, and how the war prospered.
11v8 And David said to Uriah, Go down to thy house, and wash thy feet. And Uriah departed out of the king's house, and there followed him a mess of meat from the king.
11v9 But Uriah slept at the door of the king's house with all the servants of his lord, and went not down to his house.
11v10 And when they had told David, saying, Uriah went not down unto his house, David said unto Uriah, Camest thou not from thy journey? why then didst thou not go down unto thine house?
11v11 And Uriah said unto David, The ark, and Israel, and Judah, abide in tents; and my lord Joab, and the servants of my lord, are encamped in the open fields; shall I then go into mine house, to eat and to drink, and to lie with my wife? as thou livest, and as thy soul liveth, I will not do this thing.
11v12 And David said to Uriah, Tarry here to day also, and to morrow I will let thee depart. So Uriah abode in Jerusalem that day, and the morrow.
11v13 And when David had called him, he did eat and drink before him; and he made him drunk: and at even he went out to lie on his bed with the servants of his lord, but went not down to his house.
11v14 And it came to pass in the morning, that David wrote a letter to Joab, and sent it by the hand of Uriah.
11v15 And he wrote in the letter, saying, Set ye Uriah in the forefront of the hottest battle, and retire ye from him, that he may be smitten, and die.
11v16 And it came to pass, when Joab observed the city, that he assigned Uriah unto a place where he knew that valiant men were.
11v17 And the men of the city went out, and fought with Joab: and there fell some of the people of the servants of David; and Uriah the Hittite died also.

2 Samuel 12v1 And the LORD sent Nathan unto David. And he came unto him, and said unto him, There were two men in one city; the one rich, and the other poor.
12v2 The rich man had exceeding many flocks and herds:
12v3 But the poor man had nothing, save one little ewe lamb, which he had bought and nourished up: and it grew up together with him, and with his children; it did eat of his own meat, and drank of his own cup, and lay in his bosom, and was unto him as a daughter.
12v4 And there came a traveller unto the rich man, and he spared to take of his own flock and of his own herd, to dress for the wayfaring man that was come unto him; but took the poor man's lamb, and dressed it for the man that was come to him.
12v5 And David's anger was greatly kindled against the man; and he said to Nathan, As the LORD liveth, the man that hath done this thing shall surely die:
12v6 And he shall restore the lamb fourfold, because he did this thing, and because he had no pity.
12v7 And Nathan said to David, Thou art the man. Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, I anointed thee king over Israel, and I delivered thee out of the hand of Saul;
12v8 And I gave thee thy master's house, and thy master's wives into thy bosom, and gave thee the house of Israel and of Judah; and if that had been too little, I would moreover have given unto thee such and such things.
12v9 Wherefore hast thou despised the commandment of the LORD, to do evil in his sight? thou hast killed Uriah the Hittite with the sword, and hast taken his wife to be thy wife, and hast slain him with the sword of the children of Ammon.
12v10 Now therefore the sword shall never depart from thine house; because thou hast despised me, and hast taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be thy wife.
12v11 Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will raise up evil against thee out of thine own house, and I will take thy wives before thine eyes, and give them unto thy neighbour, and he shall lie with thy wives in the sight of this sun.
12v12 For thou didst it secretly: but I will do this thing before all Israel, and before the sun.
12v13 And David said unto Nathan, I have sinned against the LORD. And Nathan said unto David, The LORD also hath put away thy sin; thou shalt not die.
12v14 Howbeit, because by this deed thou hast given great occasion to the enemies of the LORD to blaspheme, the child also that is born unto thee shall surely die.
12v15 And Nathan departed unto his house. And the LORD struck the child that Uriah's wife bare unto David, and it was very sick.
12v16 David therefore besought God for the child; and David fasted, and went in, and lay all night upon the earth.
12v17 And the elders of his house arose, and went to him, to raise him up from the earth: but he would not, neither did he eat bread with them.
12v18 And it came to pass on the seventh day, that the child died. And the servants of David feared to tell him that the child was dead: for they said, Behold, while the child was yet alive, we spake unto him, and he would not hearken unto our voice: how will he then vex himself, if we tell him that the child is dead?
12v19 But when David saw that his servants whispered, David perceived that the child was dead: therefore David said unto his servants, Is the child dead? And they said, He is dead.
12v20 Then David arose from the earth, and washed, and anointed himself, and changed his apparel, and came into the house of the LORD, and worshipped: then he came to his own house; and when he required, they set bread before him, and he did eat.
12v21 Then said his servants unto him, What thing is this that thou hast done? thou didst fast and weep for the child, while it was alive; but when the child was dead, thou didst rise and eat bread.
12v22 And he said, While the child was yet alive, I fasted and wept: for I said, Who can tell whether GOD will be gracious to me, that the child may live?
12v23 But now he is dead, wherefore should I fast? can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me.

Proverbs 5v1 My son, attend unto my wisdom, and bow thine ear to my understanding:
5v2 That thou mayest regard discretion, and that thy lips may keep knowledge.
5v3 For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil:
5v4 But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword.
5v5 Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell.
5v6 Lest thou shouldest ponder the path of life, her ways are moveable, that thou canst not know them.
5v7 Hear me now therefore, O ye children, and depart not from the words of my mouth.
5v8 Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the door of her house:
5v9 Lest thou give thine honour unto others, and thy years unto the cruel:
5v10 Lest strangers be filled with thy wealth; and thy labours be in the house of a stranger;
5v11 And thou mourn at the last, when thy flesh and thy body are consumed,
5v12 And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof;
5v13 And have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor inclined mine ear to them that instructed me!
5v14 I was almost in all evil in the midst of the congregation and assembly.
5v15 Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running waters out of thine own well.
5v16 Let thy fountains be dispersed abroad, and rivers of waters in the streets.
5v17 Let them be only thine own, and not strangers' with thee.
5v18 Let thy fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of thy youth.
5v19 Let her be as the loving hind and pleasant roe; let her breasts satisfy thee at all times; and be thou ravished always with her love.
5v20 And why wilt thou, my son, be ravished with a strange woman, and embrace the bosom of a stranger?
5v21 For the ways of man are before the eyes of the LORD, and he pondereth all his goings.
5v22 His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and he shall be holden with the cords of his sins.
5v23 He shall die without instruction; and in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray.

Proverbs 6v23 For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:
6v24 To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman.
6v25 Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids.
6v26 For by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece of bread: and the adultress will hunt for the precious life.
6v27 Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned?
6v28 Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be burned?
6v29 So he that goeth in to his neighbour's wife; whosoever toucheth her shall not be innocent.
6v30 Men do not despise a thief, if he steal to satisfy his soul when he is hungry;
6v31 But if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the substance of his house.
6v32 But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul.
6v33 A wound and dishonour shall he get; and his reproach shall not be wiped away.
6v34 For jealousy is the rage of a man: therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance.
6v35 He will not regard any ransom; neither will he rest content, though thou givest many gifts.

Proverbs 7v1 My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with thee.
7v2 Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of thine eye.
7v3 Bind them upon thy fingers, write them upon the table of thine heart.
7v4 Say unto wisdom, Thou art my sister; and call understanding thy kinswoman:
7v5 That they may keep thee from the strange woman, from the stranger which flattereth with her words.
7v6 For at the window of my house I looked through my casement,
7v7 And beheld among the simple ones, I discerned among the youths, a young man void of understanding,
7v8 Passing through the street near her corner; and he went the way to her house,
7v9 In the twilight, in the evening, in the black and dark night:
7v10 And, behold, there met him a woman with the attire of an harlot, and subtil of heart.
7v11 (She is loud and stubborn; her feet abide not in her house:
7v12 Now is she without, now in the streets, and lieth in wait at every corner.)
7v13 So she caught him, and kissed him, and with an impudent face said unto him,
7v14 I have peace offerings with me; this day have I payed my vows.
7v15 Therefore came I forth to meet thee, diligently to seek thy face, and I have found thee.
7v16 I have decked my bed with coverings of tapestry, with carved works, with fine linen of Egypt.
7v17 I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.
7v18 Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning: let us solace ourselves with loves.
7v19 For the goodman is not at home, he is gone a long journey:
7v20 He hath taken a bag of money with him, and will come home at the day appointed.
7v21 With her much fair speech she caused him to yield, with the flattering of her lips she forced him.
7v22 He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks;
7v23 Till a dart strike through his liver; as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it is for his life.
7v24 Hearken unto me now therefore, O ye children, and attend to the words of my mouth.
7v25 Let not thine heart decline to her ways, go not astray in her paths.
7v26 For she hath cast down many wounded: yea, many strong men have been slain by her.
7v27 Her house is the way to hell, going down to the chambers of death.

Malachi 2v13 And this have ye done again, covering the altar of the LORD with tears, with weeping, and with crying out, insomuch that he regardeth not the offering any more, or receiveth it with good will at your hand.
2v14 Yet ye say, Wherefore? Because the LORD hath been witness between thee and the wife of thy youth, against whom thou hast dealt treacherously: yet is she thy companion, and the wife of thy covenant.
2v15 And did not he make one? Yet had he the residue of the spirit. And wherefore one? That he might seek a godly seed. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth.

Matthew 5v27 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:
5v28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.

John 8v3 And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,
8v4 They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.
8v5 Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?
8v6 This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.
8v7 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
8v8 And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.
8v9 And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.
8v10 When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?
8v11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.

1 Corinthians 6v16 What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh.
6v17 But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.
6v18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.
6v19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
6v20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.

Fornication (Sexual relations with someone when you are not married)

Exodus 22v16 And if a man entice a maid that is not betrothed, and lie with her, he shall surely endow her to be his wife.
22v17 If her father utterly refuse to give her unto him, he shall pay money according to the dowry of virgins.

2 Samuel 13v1 And it came to pass after this, that Absalom the son of David had a fair sister, whose name was Tamar; and Amnon the son of David loved her.
13v2 And Amnon was so vexed, that he fell sick for his sister Tamar; for she was a virgin; and Amnon thought it hard for him to do anything to her.
13v3 But Amnon had a friend, whose name was Jonadab, the son of Shimeah David's brother: and Jonadab was a very subtil man.
13v4 And he said unto him, Why art thou, being the king's son, lean from day to day? wilt thou not tell me? And Amnon said unto him, I love Tamar, my brother Absalom's sister.
13v5 And Jonadab said unto him, Lay thee down on thy bed, and make thyself sick: and when thy father cometh to see thee, say unto him, I pray thee, let my sister Tamar come, and give me meat, and dress the meat in my sight, that I may see it, and eat it at her hand.
13v6 So Amnon lay down, and made himself sick: and when the king was come to see him, Amnon said unto the king, I pray thee, let Tamar my sister come, and make me a couple of cakes in my sight, that I may eat at her hand.
13v7 Then David sent home to Tamar, saying, Go now to thy brother Amnon's house, and dress him meat.
13v8 So Tamar went to her brother Amnon's house; and he was laid down. And she took flour, and kneaded it, and made cakes in his sight, and did bake the cakes.
13v9 And she took a pan, and poured them out before him; but he refused to eat. And Amnon said, Have out all men from me. And they went out every man from him.
13v10 And Amnon said unto Tamar, Bring the meat into the chamber, that I may eat of thine hand. And Tamar took the cakes which she had made, and brought them into the chamber to Amnon her brother.
13v11 And when she had brought them unto him to eat, he took hold of her, and said unto her, Come lie with me, my sister.
13v12 And she answered him, Nay, my brother, do not force me; for no such thing ought to be done in Israel: do not thou this folly.
13v13 And I, whither shall I cause my shame to go? and as for thee, thou shalt be as one of the fools in Israel. Now therefore, I pray thee, speak unto the king; for he will not withhold me from thee.
13v14 Howbeit he would not hearken unto her voice: but, being stronger than she, forced her, and lay with her.
13v15 Then Amnon hated her exceedingly; so that the hatred wherewith he hated her was greater than the love wherewith he had loved her. And Amnon said unto her, Arise, be gone.
13v16 And she said unto him, There is no cause: this evil in sending me away is greater than the other that thou didst unto me. But he would not hearken unto her.
13v17 Then he called his servant that ministered unto him, and said, Put now this woman out from me, and bolt the door after her.
13v18 And she had a garment of divers colours upon her: for with such robes were the king's daughters that were virgins apparelled. Then his servant brought her out, and bolted the door after her.
13v19 And Tamar put ashes on her head, and rent her garment of divers colours that was on her, and laid her hand on her head, and went on crying.
13v20 And Absalom her brother said unto her, Hath Amnon thy brother been with thee? but hold now thy peace, my sister: he is thy brother; regard not this thing. So Tamar remained desolate in her brother Absalom's house.
13v21 But when king David heard of all these things, he was very wroth.
13v22 And Absalom spake unto his brother Amnon neither good nor bad: for Absalom hated Amnon, because he had forced his sister Tamar.
13v23 And it came to pass after two full years, that Absalom had sheepshearers in Baalhazor, which is beside Ephraim: and Absalom invited all the king's sons.
13v24 And Absalom came to the king, and said, Behold now, thy servant hath sheepshearers; let the king, I beseech thee, and his servants go with thy servant.
13v25 And the king said to Absalom, Nay, my son, let us not all now go, lest we be chargeable unto thee. And he pressed him: howbeit he would not go, but blessed him.
13v26 Then said Absalom, If not, I pray thee, let my brother Amnon go with us. And the king said unto him, Why should he go with thee?
13v27 But Absalom pressed him, that he let Amnon and all the king's sons go with him.
13v28 Now Absalom had commanded his servants, saying, Mark ye now when Amnon's heart is merry with wine, and when I say unto you, Smite Amnon; then kill him, fear not: have not I commanded you? be courageous, and be valiant.
13v29 And the servants of Absalom did unto Amnon as Absalom had commanded. Then all the king's sons arose, and every man gat him up upon his mule, and fled.
13v30 And it came to pass, while they were in the way, that tidings came to David, saying, Absalom hath slain all the king's sons, and there is not one of them left.
13v31 Then the king arose, and tare his garments, and lay on the earth; and all his servants stood by with their clothes rent.
13v32 And Jonadab, the son of Shimeah David's brother, answered and said, Let not my lord suppose that they have slain all the young men the king's sons; for Amnon only is dead: for by the appointment of Absalom this hath been determined from the day that he forced his sister Tamar.
13v33 Now therefore let not my lord the king take the thing to his heart, to think that all the king's sons are dead: for Amnon only is dead.
13v34 But Absalom fled. And the young man that kept the watch lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came much people by the way of the hill side behind him.
13v35 And Jonadab said unto the king, Behold, the king's sons come: as thy servant said, so it is.
13v36 And it came to pass, as soon as he had made an end of speaking, that, behold, the king's sons came, and lifted up their voice and wept: and the king also and all his servants wept very sore.
13v37 But Absalom fled, and went to Talmai, the son of Ammihud, king of Geshur. And David mourned for his son every day.
13v38 So Absalom fled, and went to Geshur, and was there three years.
13v39 And the soul of king David longed to go forth unto Absalom: for he was comforted concerning Amnon, seeing he was dead.

Homosexuality (Sexual relations with somone of the same gender)

Genesis 19v1 And there came two angels to Sodom at even; and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom: and Lot seeing them rose up to meet them; and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground;
19v2 And he said, Behold now, my lords, turn in, I pray you, into your servant's house, and tarry all night, and wash your feet, and ye shall rise up early, and go on your ways. And they said, Nay; but we will abide in the street all night.
19v3 And he pressed upon them greatly; and they turned in unto him, and entered into his house; and he made them a feast, and did bake unleavened bread, and they did eat.
19v4 But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both old and young, all the people from every quarter:
19v5 And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men which came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them.
19v6 And Lot went out at the door unto them, and shut the door after him,
19v7 And said, I pray you, brethren, do not so wickedly.
19v8 Behold now, I have two daughters which have not known man; let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes: only unto these men do nothing; for therefore came they under the shadow of my roof.
19v9 And they said, Stand back. And they said again, This one fellow came in to sojourn, and he will needs be a judge: now will we deal worse with thee, than with them. And they pressed sore upon the man, even Lot, and came near to break the door.
19v10 But the men put forth their hand, and pulled Lot into the house to them, and shut to the door.
19v11 And they smote the men that were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great: so that they wearied themselves to find the door.
19v12 And the men said unto Lot, Hast thou here any besides? son in law, and thy sons, and thy daughters, and whatsoever thou hast in the city, bring them out of this place:
19v13 For we will destroy this place, because the cry of them is waxen great before the face of the LORD; and the LORD hath sent us to destroy it.
19v14 And Lot went out, and spake unto his sons in law, which married his daughters, and said, Up, get you out of this place; for the LORD will destroy this city. But he seemed as one that mocked unto his sons in law.
19v15 And when the morning arose, then the angels hastened Lot, saying, Arise, take thy wife, and thy two daughters, which are here; lest thou be consumed in the iniquity of the city.
19v16 And while he lingered, the men laid hold upon his hand, and upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daughters; the LORD being merciful unto him: and they brought him forth, and set him without the city.
19v17 And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain; escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed.
19v18 And Lot said unto them, Oh, not so, my LORD:
19v19 Behold now, thy servant hath found grace in thy sight, and thou hast magnified thy mercy, which thou hast shewed unto me in saving my life; and I cannot escape to the mountain, lest some evil take me, and I die:
19v20 Behold now, this city is near to flee unto, and it is a little one: Oh, let me escape thither, (is it not a little one?) and my soul shall live.
19v21 And he said unto him, See, I have accepted thee concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow this city, for the which thou hast spoken.
19v22 Haste thee, escape thither; for I cannot do anything till thou be come thither. Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.
19v23 The sun was risen upon the earth when Lot entered into Zoar.
19v24 Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven;
19v25 And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.
19v26 But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.
19v27 And Abraham gat up early in the morning to the place where he stood before the LORD:
19v28 And he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and beheld, and, lo, the smoke of the country went up as the smoke of a furnace.
19v29 And it came to pass, when God destroyed the cities of the plain, that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in the which Lot dwelt.

Leviticus 18v22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.

Leviticus 20v13 If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

Romans 1v18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
1v19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
1v20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
1v21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
1v22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
1v23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
1v24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
1v25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
1v26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
1v27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
1v28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
1v29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
1v30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
1v31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
1v32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

1 Corinthians 6v13 Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body.
6v14 And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power.
6v15 Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid.
6v16 What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh.
6v17 But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.
6v18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.
6v19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
6v20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.
