¹⁷ “None of the ^(A)daughters of Israel shall be a cult prostitute, and none ^(B)of the sons of Israel shall be a cult prostitute.

² the sons of God saw that the daughters of man were attractive. And they took as their wives any they chose. ³ Then the Lord said, ^(A)“My Spirit shall not abide in^[a] man forever, ^(B)for he is flesh: his days shall be 120 years.”

⁶ And ^(A)the angels who did not stay within their own position of authority, but left their proper dwelling, he has kept in eternal chains under gloomy darkness until the judgment of the great day— ⁷ just as ^(B)Sodom and Gomorrah and ^(C)the surrounding cities, which likewise indulged in sexual immorality and ^(D)pursued unnatural desire,^[a] serve as an example by undergoing a punishment of eternal fire.
