This term similarly denotes acts of harlotry or fornication and is used to describe both literal and metaphorical unfaithfulness to God. Usage: The term πόρνος is used in the New Testament to describe individuals who engage in sexual immorality, often in the context of warning against such behaviors and emphasizing the need for purity among believers. Context: The term πόρνος appears several times in the New Testament, often in lists of behaviors that are condemned or warned against. It is closely associated with sexual immorality and is frequently mentioned alongside other sins such as idolatry and greed. The apostle Paul, in particular, uses the term in his epistles to the early Christian communities to admonish them to live lives of holiness and to avoid the sexual immorality that was prevalent in the surrounding pagan cultures.
