2 | is sex outside of marriage wrong? | 1 Cor 6:9 | EdB | 103937 | ||
The act is called Fornication and I provided a definition from Unger's New Bible Dictionary. Used of illicit sexual intercourse in general (Acts 15:20, 29; Acts 21:25; cf. 1 Cor. 5:1; 1 Cor. 6:13, 18; 1 Cor. 7:2; etc.). At the present time adultery is the term used of such an act when the person is married, fornication when unmarried; and fornication may be defined as lewdness of an unmarried person of either sex. Its prohibition rests on the ground that it discourages marriage, leaves the education and care of children insecure, depraves and defiles the mind more than any other vice, and thus makes one unfit for the kingdom of God (1 Cor. 6:9; etc.). Our Lord forbids the thoughts that lead to it (cf. Matthew 5:28). |
