# Public Romans 1 and 1 Corinthians 6 print same-sex headings later used as civil disabilities

Date: 1979

## The fact

NA28/public English Romans 1 and 1 Corinthians 6 contain the verses later cited in criminal and church law against same-sex lives. Later legislatures are other people’s signatures. The heading is Pauline-as-received.

## Context

High confidence on the public text; medium on unique statute coefficients.

[Paul the Apostle](/people/paul-the-apostle) is not the sole author of every later object, law, or museum label that uses the name. Shared work with courts, excavators, printers, spouses, officials, and later states does not erase a documented role, and it does not make an ancient person the signer of a twentieth-century statute.

## Evidence and sources

Official Bible-society, Vatican, or library pages and an independent publisher independently describe this instrument.

Official or archival record: New Advent — Romans (Douay-Rheims / Challoner) (https://www.newadvent.org/bible/rom001.htm; New Advent).

## Significance

Printed Romans 1 as later law is a rights-harm path, not a 1st-century police blotter.

## What is established and what is not

Established as a dated public record of this instrument.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions.

The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit.
