Pregnancy before Marriage

If a man encounters a virgin who is not pledged in marriage, and he seizes her and lies with her, and they are discovered,

…then the man who lay with her must pay the young woman’s father fifty shekels of silver, and she must become his wife because he has violated her. He must not divorce her as long as he lives.

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

If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

However, if someone thinks he is acting inappropriately toward his betrothed, and if she is beyond her youth and they ought to marry, let him do as he wishes; he is not sinning; they should get married.

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. …

Surely I was brought forth in iniquity; I was sinful when my mother conceived me.

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.

And without faith it is impossible to please God. For anyone who approaches Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him.
