Any fornicator

honourable is the marriage in all, and the bed undefiled, and whoremongers and adulterers God shall judge.

for from within, out of the heart of men, the evil reasonings do come forth, adulteries, whoredoms, murders,

but to write to them to abstain from the pollutions of the idols, and the whoredom, and the strangled thing; and the blood;

Whoredom is actually heard of among you, and such whoredom as is not even named among the nations -- as that one hath the wife of the father! --

Have ye not known that your bodies are members of Christ? having taken, then, the members of the Christ, shall I make them members of an harlot? let it be not!

neither may we commit whoredom, as certain of them did commit whoredom, and there fell in one day twenty-three thousand;

lest again having come, my God may humble me in regard to you, and I may bewail many of those having sinned before, and not having reformed concerning the uncleanness, and whoredom, and lasciviousness, that they did practise.

And manifest also are the works of the flesh, which are: Adultery, whoredom, uncleanness, lasciviousness,

and whoredom, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as becometh saints;

Put to death, then, your members that are upon the earth -- whoredom, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and the covetousness, which is idolatry --

for this is the will of God -- your sanctification; that ye abstain from the whoredom,

'But I have against thee a few things: That thou dost suffer the woman Jezebel, who is calling herself a prophetess, to teach, and to lead astray, my servants to commit whoredom, and idol-sacrifices to eat;

and to fearful, and unstedfast, and abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all the liars, their part is in the lake that is burning with fire and brimstone, which is a second death.'

and without are the dogs, and the sorcerers, and the whoremongers, and the murderers, and the idolaters, and every one who is loving and is doing a lie.

As esau

and Jacob saith, 'Sell to-day thy birthright to me.'

And he saith, 'Is it because one called his name Jacob that he doth take me by the heel these two times? my birthright he hath taken; and lo, now, he hath taken my blessing;' he saith also, 'Hast thou not kept back a blessing for me?'
