Warnings About Bad Behavior

Revisiting a project I began many moons ago - refuting revisionist theology on Bible verses regarding homosexuality.

The last verse in this series is 1 Ti 1:10.
Mamaditto speaks in blue.

*********************************************

For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine...KJV



πόρνοις,                ἀρσενοκοίταις,                                               
to fornicators,      to men lying w males,    
        ἀνδραποδισταῖς,                                                                                                           
         to catchers of male persons by the foot,
                                                                                                                                    




ψεύσταις,          ἐπιόρκοις,              καὶ     εἴ     τι                  ἕτερον
to liars,              to oathbreakers,    and    if     anything       different



 τῇ             ὑγιαινούσῃ          διδασκαλίᾳ                                                                                       
 to the          being healthful           teaching         


ἀντίκειται,
 is lying against.


The salient term here is again the Greek word ἀρσενοκοίταις, which has been discussed in the previous (3/3) post.

The Good News Bible has "sexual perverts" in its  translation.
The New American Standard has "homosexuals."
The New International Version has "perverts."
The Revised Standard Version has "sodomites."
In addition, this verse is incorporated into a list of conduct which the Apostle Paul describes as "not for the righteous" in vs.9 and "contrary to sound doctrine" in vs.10.
