This Chapter Verse Commentaries:





But fornication; folly committed between unmarried persons, especially men’s abuse of themselves with common strumpets, a sin not owned as such among the heathen.



And all uncleanness; all other unlawful lusts whereby men defile themselves.



Or covetousness; either an insatiable desire of gratifying their lusts, as Eph_4:19; or rather an immoderate desire of gain, which was usual in cities of great trade, as Ephesus was: see Eph_5:5.



Let it not be once named among you; not heard of, or not mentioned without detestation: see Psa_16:4 1Co_5:1.



As becometh saints, who should be pure and holy, not in their bodies and minds only, but in their words too.
