Porneia is the New Testament’s broad term for sexual sin outside of marriage. It is the root behind English “pornography” and was used in the Greco-Roman world for a wide range of sexual immorality.

Paul’s instruction is unusually direct: “Flee porneia.” Sexual integrity matters because the body “is a temple of the Holy Spirit” and because we have been bought at a price. The Bible’s sexual ethic is not arbitrary restriction but the shape of love and worship.
