Paul chose two words from the O.T. that specify what is meant from Leviticus 18
Paul chose two words in the New Testament that specify what the Old Testament meant from Leviticus 18.
Leviticus 18:22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it [is] abomination.
1 Corinthians 6:9 Do 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 pros***utes nor ****sexual offenders
1 Corinthians 6:10 nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
****sexuals, g733 ἀρσενοκοίτης ****nokoitēs
The word for ****sexuals or “****nokoitēs” is made up of two words. It is from ἄρρην (G730) and κοίτη (G2845).
G730 – arrēn means “male”. G2845 – koitē means “bed”.
So the term “nor ****sexual offenders” means “nor male in bed” and is a reference to Leviticus 18:22.
Leviticus 18:22 "'Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; that is detestable. (NIV)

Romans 1:24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
Romans 1:25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
Romans 1:26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
Romans 1:27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
