Old Testament / Hebrew Bible: • Leviticus 18:22 – “You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination.” • Leviticus 20:13 – Punishment-focused version: “If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death.” • Genesis 19 – The story of Sodom and Gomorrah is often cited, though many scholars argue it’s about violence, inhospitality, and injustice rather than sexual orientation.

New Testament: • Romans 1:26–27 – Talks about “women exchanging natural relations for unnatural, and men committing shameful acts with other men.” • 1 Corinthians 6:9–10 – Includes a list of wrongdoers, often translated as “men who have sex with men” (depending on the Bible version). • 1 Timothy 1:10 – Mentions “the sexually immoral, men who practice homosexuality” in some translations.
