This term is used throughout the Old Testament to describe both physical and spiritual unfaithfulness, reflecting the continuity of the biblical teaching on sexual immorality across both Testaments. Usage: The word "πορνεία" is used in the New Testament to describe various forms of sexual immorality. It is often translated as "sexual immorality" or "fornication" in English Bible translations. The term is used to admonish believers to abstain from such practices and to live in purity according to God's commandments. Context: The concept of "πορνεία" is significant in the New Testament, where it is frequently addressed as a sin that believers must avoid. It is often listed among other sins that are contrary to the will of God and detrimental to one's spiritual life. In 1 Corinthians 6:18, Paul exhorts believers to "Flee from sexual immorality" (BSB), emphasizing the seriousness of this sin and its impact on the body, which is a temple of the Holy Spirit.
