I always find some really interesting stuff while doing research for papers.
1 Corinthians 6:9-10 (King James Version) [vague]
9Know 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, 10Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
1 Corinthians 6:9-10 (New International Version) [specific]
9Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders 10nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
I wasn't aware that "abusers of themselves with mankind" was directly synonymous with "male prostitutes and homosexuals." Funny how new things just seem to pop into the Bible with each updated version.
