Did you miss what I posted earlier in this thread about this particular reference???
"The word 'effeminate' here was translated from the Greek "Malakoi". It is usually interpreted as 'soft', 'fine', 'loose', 'pliable'. None of these specifically refer to homosexual behavior."
I chose the KJV which uses the word Effeminate but it's the same word in the Greek no matter who translates it and what they translate it as. IF you go to the original writing I do not see how you can translate it as sodomites, or homosexuals. That is someones TRANSLATION and not the original meaning or intent.
