Bible Quotes About Homosexuality

7 Scripture verses about homosexuality from the King James Version, with full verse text for study and meditation.

Scripture clearly defines homosexuality as contrary to God's design for human relationships, affirming that God created humanity as male and female from the beginning (Mark 10:6). The Old Testament explicitly condemns same-sex relations as an abomination deserving severe judgment (Leviticus 18:22; 20:13). The New Testament echoes this by describing homosexual behavior as a departure from natural use and a consequence of turning away from God (Romans 1:26-27). The account of Sodom (Genesis 19:1) further illustrates the moral corruption associated with such practices.
