Summary/Abstract: The moral judgments that Paul makes in Romans 1 must be interpreted in context, i.e. in light of the intent that Paul follows throughout the section on “the revelation of the wrath of God.” In a kind of black-and-white pattern, he describes human condition of need, the core of which he sees in the erroneous substitution of the created for the Creator, as a result of which man comes into conflict with himself. Paul depicts this as a parody on the creation account in Gen 1. In this context, he presents homoerotic behaviour as a manifestation of arbitrariness. Obviously, this argument is only possible if one views homosexuality as the behaviour of heterosexually oriented individuals.
