Dearly beloved, I beseech {you} as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;

For this is the will of God, {even} your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication:

Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:

Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.

Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

Marriage {is} honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.

But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;

Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,

Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God:

To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman. {of the...: or, of the strange tongue}

{And} lest, when I come again, my God will humble me among you, and {that} I shall bewail many which have sinned already, and have not repented of the uncleanness and fornication and lasciviousness which they have committed.

Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:

Whoso {is} simple, let him turn in hither: and {as for} him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,

That they may keep thee from the strange woman, from the stranger {which} flattereth with her words.

Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which {temple} ye are. {defile: or, destroy}

Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.

But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;

Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are {these}; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,

Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:

Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:

Nevertheless, {to avoid} fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.

But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and {from} fornication, and {from} things strangled, and {from} blood.

That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour;

Passing through the street near her corner; and he went the way to her house,

These are {the things} which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man.

The woman also with whom man shall lie {with} seed of copulation, they shall {both} bathe {themselves} in water, and be unclean until the even.

And the sons of Jacob came out of the field when they heard {it}: and the men were grieved, and they were very wroth, because he had wrought folly in Israel in lying with Jacob's daughter; which thing ought not to be done.
