Yes these are all included.
Sexual immorality or as a lot translations use the word "fornication".
Fornication according to Jews was considered any physical relations other than your betrothed.
Adultery was considered any physical relations other than who you were married to.
As Paul says in one of his letters.....
For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy, for I have betrothed you to one husband,
that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.
But I am afraid that as the serpent deceived Eve by his cunning, your thoughts will be let astray
from a sincere and pure devotion to Christ.
We are to abstain from fornication against Christ,...
the flesh with all its lusts and desires
the world with all its lusts and desires
Paul said,... I have crucified the flesh with all its lusts and desires...
Only a sincere and pure devotion with Christ will keep us from fornicating.
To be faithful...
Or as one poster said his favorite scripture is...
Be faithful unto death, and I will give you the crown of life.
Faithful unto what death, death of the old man, so that we may receive the new life.
He who endures to the end will be saved..
What end? The end of the old man, and you will be saved and have life.
What most don't realize is that we are first of all saved from the punishment and penalty of our sins,
brought to a place where we have been justified and our past has been forgiven and we are betrothed
to Christ, and all this is through faith.
Because it was God's grace that sent His Son to die for us, not your works.
Our spirits that were dead, have now been regenerated,
God is working in us, but not taken up residence yet, because our Lord is a Holy God.
We need to be sanctified, to be made holy, so the Lord can come in.
In order for this to happen, our old sinful man needs to be put to death crucified, the
flesh with all its lusts and desires crucified and put to death.
To die , to renounce All that one has, to be emptied out, etc..
And according to our faith God bring this process about.
If there is anything that we are not willing to give up or die to, then we are declaring it more
important to God and has become an idol and we are committing fornication.
And God will make this death a reality in our walk, also called the discipline of God,
until you have completely died, are sanctified, this is the walk of suffering, the narrow hard
way that LEADS to life, and few find it because they are not willing to die.
End of sanctification, Eternal Life, newness of Life, Father and Son and Holy Spirit making their
home with us .
Consummated with the Lord, become one, married not just betrothed.
This is Eternal Life that you may know Him
He who has the Son has Eternal Life.
So, dear ones, keep a sincere and pure devotion to Christ.
Renounce All that you have, your very life itself, and walk in this by faith and He
make your death to the old man a reality, and bring you to the newness of life, HIS LIFE in you.
May God bless you.
