The New Testament contains three primary passages that are widely recognized as containing condemnations of same-sex relations: Romans 1:26–27, 1 Corinthians 6:9–10, and 1 Timothy 1:9–10 7 10. Romans 1:26–27 is noted for its explicit reference to both gay and lesbian conduct as shameful lusts 1 9. Both 1 Corinthians 6:9 and 1 Timothy 1:10 are identified as vice-lists that include terms often translated as referring to homosexuality or same-sex intercourse 4 5 12. While some modern scholars debate whether these terms specifically refer to exploitative acts like rape or sex slavery 3, these three texts are the foundational references used by theological and historical sources to argue that the New Testament condemns same-sex behavior 2 11 14. Sources confirm that these are the only three passages in the New Testament that specifically mention the topic in a condemnatory context 7 10.
