No Sex before Marriage

Marriage should be honored by all and the marriage bed kept undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers.

If a man seduces a virgin who is not pledged in marriage and sleeps with her, he must pay the full dowry for her to be his wife.

For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure, or greedy person (that is, an idolater) has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.

Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a man can commit is outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body. …

But because there is so much sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife, and each woman her own husband.

Let no one despise your youth, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.

The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity, and debauchery;

In like manner, Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities around them, who indulged in sexual immorality and pursued strange flesh, are on display as an example of those who sustain the punishment of eternal fire.

But among you, as is proper among the saints, there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed.
