And there came two angels
to Sodom at even;
and Lot
sat in the gate
of Sodom:
and Lot
seeing them
rose up to
meet them;
and
he bowed himself
with his face
toward the ground;
And he said,
Behold now,
my lords,
turn in,
I pray you,
into your servant's house,
and tarry all night,
and wash
your feet,
and ye
shall rise
up early,
and go on
your ways.
And they said,
Nay;
but
we will abide in
the street all night.
And he
pressed
upon them greatly;
and
they
turned in unto him,
and entered
into his house;
and
he made them
a feast,
and did bake
unleavened bread,
and they did eat.
But before they lay down,
the men
of the city,
even the men
of Sodom,
compassed the house round,
both old
and young,
all the people
from every quarter:
And they
called
unto Lot,
and
said unto him,
Where are the men
which came in
to thee
this night?
bring them out
unto us,
that
we may know them.
And Lot
went out
at the door
unto them,
and shut
the door
after him,
And said,
I pray you,
brethren,
do not
so wickedly.
Behold now,
I have two daughters
which have not known man;
let me,
I pray you,
bring them out
unto you,
and do
ye to them
as is good
in your eyes:
only unto these men
do nothing;
for therefore came
they
under the shadow
of my roof.
And they said,
Stand back.
And
they said again,
This one fellow
came in
to sojourn,
and
he will needs be
a judge:
now will
we deal worse
with thee,
than with them.
And
they pressed sore
upon the man,
even Lot,
and came near
to break the door.
But the men
put forth
their hand,
and pulled Lot
into the house
to them,
and shut
to the door.
And
they smote
the men that
were at the door
of the house
with blindness,
both small
and great:
so that
they
wearied themselves
to find the door.
And the men
said
unto Lot,
Hast
thou here any
besides?
son in law,
and thy sons,
and thy daughters,
and
whatsoever thou
hast in the city,
bring them
out of this place:
For we
will destroy
this place,
because the cry
of them is waxen great
before the face
of the LORD;
and the LORD
hath sent us
to destroy it.
Thou shalt not lie
with mankind,
as with womankind:
it is abomination.
For whosoever
shall commit any
of these abominations,
even
the souls
that commit them
shall be cut off from
among their people.
If a man
also lie
with mankind,
as he
lieth
with a woman,
both of them have committed
an abomination:
they shall surely be put
to death;
their blood
shall be upon them.
For this cause God
gave
them up
unto vile affections:
for even
their women
did change
the natural use
into that
which is against nature:
And likewise
also the men,
leaving the natural use
of the woman,
burned
in their lust one
toward another;
men with men
working
that which
is unseemly,
and receiving
in themselves that recompence
of their error which
was meet.
Who knowing the judgment
of God,
that they
which commit such things
are worthy
of death,
not only do
the same,
but have
pleasure in them that
do them.
Know
ye not
that the unrighteous
shall not inherit
the kingdom
of God?
Be not deceived:
neither fornicators,
nor idolaters,
nor adulterers,
nor effeminate,
nor abusers
of themselves
with mankind,
Nor thieves,
nor covetous,
nor drunkards,
nor revilers,
nor extortioners,
shall inherit
the kingdom
of God.
And such
were some of you:
but
ye are washed,
but
ye are sanctified,
but
ye are justified in the name
of the Lord Jesus,
and by the Spirit
of our God.
But
we know
that the law
is good,
if a man
use it lawfully;
Knowing this,
that the law
is not made
for a righteous man,
but for the lawless
and disobedient,
for the ungodly
and for sinners,
for unholy
and profane,
for murderers
of fathers
and murderers
of mothers,
for manslayers,
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;
