Fornication is the broad term that covers all sex outside of heterosexual marriage. Adultery, homosexuality, whoremonger, bestiality, masturbation: all fall under this category. The Greek word for fornication is "porneia", from which we get pornography. Many commit fornication with pornography in print or on TV. {Mt.5:28} but I say unto you, that every one that looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. The same is true for any other illicit sexual desire. Repentance and faith deliver from these sins.

EVERYONE WHO HAS SEX OUT OF MARRIAGE IS A FORNICATOR. {1 Cor.7:1} Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote: It is good for a man not to touch a woman. {7:2} But, because of fornications, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband.

All fornicators must repent or face eternal damnation. {1 Cor.6:9} Or 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 men, {6:10} nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. {6:11} And such were some of you: but ye were washed, but ye were sanctified, but ye were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and in the Spirit of our God. {15} Know ye not that your bodies are members of Christ? shall I then take away the members of Christ, and make them members of a harlot? God forbid. {6:16} Or know ye not that he that is joined to a harlot is one body? for, The twain, saith he, shall become one flesh. {6:17} But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit. {6:18} Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. {10:8} Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.

{Gal.5:19} Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are [these]: fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, {5:21} envyings, drunkenness, revellings, and such like; of which I forewarn you, even as I did forewarn you, that they who practise such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

{Rev.21:7} He that overcometh shall inherit these things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. {21:8} But for the fearful, and unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, and fornicators, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, their part [shall be]
