1 Corinthians 6:9-11 New King James Version 9 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor [a]homosexuals, nor [b]sodomites, 10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were [c]sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.

You might want to look up the sexuality of the King James behind the New King James Version.

Why? It changes nothing. The Bible is against homosexuality and it is one of the few things it is consistent on. Who cares that some King who wanted a different translation was bisexual? It won't make the text not say what it says.

You know it wasn't even the first English language translation of the thing?

I'm well aware of the history. It's a garbage translation, and the passages quoted above are one of the things that make it garbage.
