What does the Bible say about gay marriage?

Bible Topic · WEB

The Bible teaches that marriage is God’s covenantal union of one man and one woman, and that sexual activity outside this design, including same-sex sexual acts, is sin; yet it also offers forgiveness and new life in Christ to all who repent and believe. Genesis 2:24 and Mark 10:6-9 ground marriage in God’s creation of male and female. Leviticus 18:22 and 20:13, Romans 1:26-28, and 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 speak against same-sex practices, while Jude 1:7 warns against sexual rebellion. Christians are therefore called to uphold God’s design with humility, love, and obedience, remembering that Christ cleanses sinners and commands love of neighbor (Romans 13:8-10).
