Look at Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities around them — they completely gave in to sexual immorality and unnatural desires. They're sitting there as a warning to everyone, facing the consequences of eternal fire.

So kill off those earthly desires that are still hanging around in your life — sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil cravings, and greed (which is basically worshiping money and stuff instead of God).

1 Corinthians 6:9

Don't you realize that people who keep choosing wrong won't be part of God's kingdom? Don't fool yourself — this includes people who sleep around, worship other things besides God, cheat on their partners, or exploit others sexually.
