Therefore, Further and Because OF SODOMY... the rest follows.
That is the context and order.
Sure all the other sins are there, listed out, lots of “petty sins” too, for those who view sin as such, but the language is clear: He is discussing sodomy and where IT leads. Otherwise all the sins would have been listed and THEN it would say what happens.
But what happens last ARE the other sins. Basically God is refuting the “good homo” argument. Saying if you go down the path of Sodomy, ALL these other sins will manifest.
This is also, exactly what we are seeing in our culture. ALL these other things once so shocking, are now on the news night and day and we are numb to the signs!!
This is a cause and effect not a list of sins where Sodomy is just in the middle somewhere.
This is ALL ABOUT it.
The world that Paul was preaching to was filled with homosexuals, idol worshippers, murderers, alduterers, thieves, gossipers,slanderers, practitioners of witchcraft ect, all of whom already given over to “a reprobate state”. It was the world of the Roman empire, a darkened world given to the very darkened imagination as described in Romans 1. Paul was describing the world he was to preach to and he goes on in the rest of Romans to prescribe the cure, which was of course Jesus Christ. Christ came to save sinners including homosexuals, not leave them in their reprobate state. You have to read the whole of Romans in order to understand Chapter 1’s context!
