AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Corinthians 6:9 ¶ Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit or have any share in the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate [by perversion], nor those who participate in homosexuality, |
Bible Question: I think that the greek word for homosexual is arsenokoites. Can I get some history of the word? And did Paul use that exact word for homosexual? Is there a Hebrew word for homosexual? |
Bible Answer: 1CO 6:9 ë ouk oidate hoti adikoi theou basileian ou klëronomësousin? më planasthe: oute pornoi oute eidölolatrai oute moichoi oute malakoi oute arsenokoit Here is the Greek N.T. verse 1 Cor. 6:9. As you see the last word is "arsenokoit". So yes, Paul did use that word in his letter to Corinth. Here's the Nave's refferance: HOMOSEXUAL [H3879, G780, G3434]. Sexual activity between members of the same sex is universally condemned in Scripture. Male homosexuality forbidden by law and punished by death (Lev 18:22; 20:13). Male and female homosexuality condemned (Ro 1:26). With other sexually immoral persons excluded from the kingdom of God (1Co 6:9-11). Sorry, that is all I can find in my books so far for you, I hope it helps some. In God's Grace, Ric |
