1 Thessalonians 4:3-7

3 For this is the will of God, ^ayour sanctification: ^{▼▼Or your holiness} ^cthat you abstain from sexual immorality; 4 that each one of you know how to control his own ^dbody ^{▼▼Or how to take a wife for himself; Greek how to possess his own vessel} in holiness and ^fhonor, 5 not in ^gthe passion of lust ^hlike the Gentiles ⁱwho do not know God; 6 that no one transgress and ^jwrong his brother in this matter, because the Lord is ^kan avenger in all these things, as we told you beforehand and solemnly warned you. 7 For ^lGod has not called us for ^mimpurity, but in holiness.

Hebrews 13:4

4 ⁿLet marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge ^othe sexually immoral and adulterous.

1 Peter 4:2-3

2 ^pso as to live for ^qthe rest of the time in the flesh ^rno longer for human passions but ^sfor the will of God. 3 For the time that is past ^tsuffices ^ufor doing what the Gentiles want to do, living in sensuality, passions, drunkenness, orgies, drinking parties, and lawless idolatry.

2 Peter 2:10-14

10 and especially ^vthose who indulge ^{▼▼Greek who go after the flesh} in the lust of defiling passion and ^xdespise authority.

Bold and willful, they do not tremble ^yas they blaspheme the glorious ones, 11 ^zwhereas angels, though greater in might and power, do not pronounce a blasphemous judgment against them before the Lord. 12 ^aaBut these, like irrational animals, ^abcreatures of instinct, born to be caught and destroyed, blaspheming about matters of which they are ignorant, will also be destroyed in their destruction, 13 suffering wrong as ^acthe wage for their wrongdoing. They count it pleasure ^adto revel in the daytime. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their deceptions, ^{▼▼Some manuscripts love feasts} while ^afthey feast with you. 14 They have eyes full of adultery, ^aginsatiable for sin. They entice unsteady souls. They have hearts ^ahtrained in greed. ^aiAccursed children!

2 Peter 2:18

18 For, ^ajspeaking loud boasts of folly, they entice by sensual passions of the flesh those who are barely ^akescaping from those who live in error.

Jude 7

7 just as ^alSodom and Gomorrah and ^amthe surrounding cities, which likewise indulged in sexual immorality and ^anpursued unnatural desire, ^{▼▼Greek other flesh} serve as an example by undergoing a punishment of eternal fire.

Jude 23

23 save others by ^apsnatching them out of ^aqthe fire; to others show mercy ^arwith fear, hating even ^asthe garment ^{▼▼Greek chiton, a long garment worn under the cloak next to the skin} stained by the flesh.
