I Timothy 1: 10 Here's the key point to remember," writes Matthew. "Even if Paul had intended his words to be a condemnation of all forms of same-sex relations, the context in which he would have been making that statement would still differ significantly from our context today." That's because same-sex behavior in the first century was not understood to be the expression of an exclusive sexual orientation but rather it was understood as excess on the part of those who could easily be content with heterosexual relationships, but who went beyond them in search of more exotic pleasures. So when the translation of malakoi and arsenokoites shifted in the 20th century to refer to people with same-sex orientation, "it fostered the mistaken belief that Paul was condemning a minority group with a different sexual orientation" when "in fact, he was condemning excessive and exploitive sexual conduct."
