prostitution or intercourse with youths." Others have pointed out that the meaning of is identified by its derivation from the Greek translation of the Old Testament, where the component words "with a man () do not copulate coitus () as with a woman" refer to homosexual conduct. For example, according to Hays, although the word appears nowhere in Greek literature prior to Paul's use of it, it is evidently a rendering into Greek of the standard rabbinic term for "one who lies with a male [as with a woman]" (Leviticus 18:22; 20:13). Moreover, despite recent challenges to this interpretation, the meaning is confirmed by the evidence of Sybilline Oracles 2.73. Paul here repeats the standard Jewish condemnation of homosexual conduct. Malick (op cit) writes, "it is significant that of all the terms available in the Greek language, Paul chose a compound from the Septuagint that in the broadest sense described men lying with men as they would lie with women." According to Scobie, "it clearly echoes the Greek of [Leviticus] 18:22 and 20:13 in the LXX ( = "male", and = "bed"), so that literally means "one who goes to bed with a male". David Wright argues that the compound word refers to those who sleep with males, and denotes "'male homosexual activity' without qualification." Haas, reviewing the various arguments on both sides, concluded that "an examination of the biblical passages from linguistic, historical and ethical-theological perspectives fails to support the revisionist ethic and reinforces the traditional Christian teaching that homosexual practice is morally wrong." Via also agrees arsenokoitēs refers to homosexual activity. James B. De Young presents similar arguments. Standard Greek lexicons and dictionaries understand this word as a reference to homosexual behavior.<ref>'88.280 ἀρσενοκοίτης, ου m: a male partner in homosexual intercourse—'homosexual., Louw & Nida, 'Greek-English lexicon of the New Testament: Based on semantic domains', volume 1, p. 771 (electronic ed. of the 2nd edition 1996).</ref>'a male who engages in sexual activity w. a pers. of his own sex, pederast 1 Cor 6:9 (on the impropriety of RSV's 'homosexuals' [altered to 'sodomites' NRSV] s.
