8 But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully;
9 Knowing this, that the alaw
is not made for a brighteous man, but for the
clawless and ddisobedient, for the
ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and
murderers of mothers, for manslayers,
10 For awhoremongers, for
bthem that cdefile themselves with
mankinda, for
dmenstealers, for liars, for perjured persons,
and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound
edoctrine;
11 According to the glorious gospel of the
blessed God, which was committed to my atrust.

10a defile themselves with
mankind This is a clear statement against homosexuality. Though
spoken in terms of man and man, this also does imply and apply to woman and
woman. A woman is not to defile herself, that is be sexually intimate with
another woman as neither is a man to be sexually intimate with another man.
Compulation, the sexual drives of mankind, is soley for the purpose and given
in connection with the propagation of the species. The procreative powers and
the sexual attrations which lead thereto are reserved of God to be strickly
to the relationship between a man and a woman. Sodom and Gommorrah is an
example of God's destructive forces against such degenerative behavior.
