This Chapter Verse Commentaries:





Here is mentioned one kind of uncleanness, as being eminently sinful, and unjust, and pernicious to human society. But under this are comprehended and forbidden all other kinds of filthiness, as bestiality, sodomy, whoredom, fornication, &c., and all means, occasions, and appearances of them; as it appears,



1. From other scriptures that forbid those things, which either belong to this command, or to none of the ten, which is very improbable.



2. From the large extent of the other commands, noted before.



3. From our Saviour’s explication, Mat_5:27. And contrariwise, all chastity and sobriety in thoughts, affections, words, habits, and gestures, is here prescribed. See 1Th_4:3,4 Heb 13:4.
