Scripture makes clear that sexual immorality is an offense to God and harmful to those who engage in it. “Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God?” asked Paul of the church in Corinth. “Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God” (I Cor. 6:9-10).
