FORNICATION [for nih KAY shun] - sexual relationships outside the bonds of marriage. The
technical distinction between fornication and Adultery
is that adultery involves married persons while fornication involves at least
one person who is unmarried. But the New Testament often uses the term in a
general sense for any unchastity. Of the seven lists of sins found in the
writings of Paul, the word "fornication" is found in five of them
(Rom. 13:13; 1 Cor. 5:11; Gal. 5:19; Eph. 5:3; Col. 3:5). In the Book of
Revelation, fornication is symbolic of how idolatry and pagan religion defiles
true worship of God (Rev. 14:8; 17:4).
