The only 2 times it’s ever written is when Paul uses it here and in 1 Timothy, and we have a ton of Greek writings, so if it was a known word, we would see it elsewhere. Now, the word is the combination of 2 words: man and bed, so that’s why I say I think Paul probably means some type of homosexual act, but we really don’t know for sure. So we have to ask what it really means and also why he chooses to use a made up word instead of already established words in Greek that mean homosexual actsGood read.
