⁹ realizing the fact that ^(A)law is not made for a righteous person but for those who are lawless and ^(B)rebellious, for the ^(C)ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and ^(D)worldly, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers, ¹⁰ for the ^[a](E)sexually immoral, ^(F)homosexuals, ^[b](G)slave traders, ^(H)liars, ^(I)perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to ^(J)sound teaching,

²⁶ For this reason ^(A)God gave them over to ^(B)degrading passions; for their women exchanged natural relations for that which is contrary to nature, ²⁷ and likewise the men, too, abandoned natural relations ^[a]with women and burned in their desire toward one another, ^(C)males with males committing ^[b]shameful acts and receiving in ^[c]their own persons the due penalty of their error.

⁶ but ^(A)whoever ^(B)causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to ^[a]sin, it is better for him that a ^[b]heavy millstone be hung around his neck, and that he be drowned in the depths of the sea.
