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. ”
پولس رسول احتمالاً با در نظر داشتن رفتار منحط و فاسد انسانها در قرن اول ،‏ نوشت :‏ « خدا ایشانرا بهوسهای خباثت تسلیم نمود بنوعیکه زنانشان نیز عمل طبیعیرا بآنچه خلاف طبیعت است تبدیل نمودند .‏ و همچنین مردان هم استعمال طبیعئ زنانرا ترک کرده از شهوات خود با یکدیگر سوختند ،‏ مرد با مرد مرتکب اعمال زشت شده عقوبت سزاوار تقصیر خود را در خود یافتند .‏ »
