The apostle Paul may have had in mind the decadent behavior of people in the first century when he wrote: “God gave them up to disgraceful sexual appetites, for both their females changed the natural use of themselves into one contrary to nature; and likewise even the males left the natural use of the female and became violently inflamed in their lust toward one another, males with males, working what is obscene and receiving in themselves the full recompense, which was due for their error. ”
Iespējams, apustulim Pāvilam bija prātā pirmā gadsimta cilvēku neķītrā uzvedība, kad viņš rakstīja: ” Dievs viņus nodevis kauna pilnās kaislībās: sievietes apmainījušas dabisko dzimumu kopdzīvi ar pretdabisko. Tāpat arī vīrieši, atmezdami dabisko kopdzīvi ar sievieti, cits pret citu iekaisuši savā iekārē, piekopdami netiklību, vīrietis ar vīrieti, saņemdami pelnīto sodu par savu nomaldīšanos paši pie sevis. ”
