But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both young and old, all the people from every quarter;

and they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men which came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them.

But the men put forth their hand, and brought Lot into the house to them, and shut to the door.

And they smote the men that were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great: so that they wearied themselves to find the door.

Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.

And if a man lie with mankind, as with womankind, both of them have committed abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

and changed the glory of the incorruptible God for the likeness of an image of corruptible man, and of birds, and four-footed beasts, and creeping things.

Wherefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts unto uncleanness, that their bodies should be dishonoured among themselves:

for that they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshipped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

For this cause God gave them up unto vile passions: for their women changed the natural use into that which is against nature:

and likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another, men with men working unseemliness, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was due.

Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may run and be glorified, even as also it is with you;

and that we may be delivered from unreasonable and evil men; for all have not faith.

But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and guard you from the evil one.

And we have confidence in the Lord touching you, that ye both do and will do the things which we command.

And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patience of Christ.
