“He rescued righteous Lot , who was greatly distressed by the brazen conduct of the lawless people” - 2 Pet 2:7


“No sexually immoral person or unclean person or greedy person, which means being an idolater,
has any inheritance in the Kingdom of the Christ and of God” - Ephesians 5:5

LOOSE CONDUCT: “past all moral sense” by giving themselves over to “loose conduct to work uncleanness of every sort with greediness.”—Ephesians 4:17-19.

Some couples brazenly defy godly standards, they greedily practice what God's word calls sexual uncleanness or what the bible calls “loose conduct.”

- The Greek word for “loose conduct” means ‘outrageous acts, excess, insolence, unbridled lust.’ The Bible condemns more than just fornication Galatians 5 speaks of ... uncleanness, loose conduct.” ... “Those who practice such things will not inherit God’s kingdom.”— Galatians 5:19-21.

- Uncleanness A broad term that includes the harmful practice of smoking or the telling of obscene jokes. (2 Cor. 7:1; Eph. 5:3, 4) ... reading sexually stimulating books or viewing pornography, which may lead to the unclean habit of masturbation.​— Col. 3:5. - - see w17 8/15 p.18 par 8


The Greek for "uncleaness" word covers impurity of any kind, in speech or action. It would be unclean to allow one’s hands to stray under another person’s clothing, to remove another’s clothing, or to caress another’s intimate areas, such as the breasts. In the Bible the caressing of the breasts is associated with the pleasures reserved for married couples.— Proverbs 5:18, 19

James Mantz: Avoid the Snare of Greed (Col. 3:5 - also see Luke 12:15 1 Tim 6:6-8 )

"At Colossians 3:5 (read), we find strong counsel to Christians regarding what might break their exclusive relationship with Jehovah. Note that greediness is linked to idolatry . That is because the object of one’s desire, such as riches or luxuries, can become so controlling in life that it takes on the role of a powerful god. But when we look at the entire verse, it is not hard to see that all the other sinful practices mentioned are in some way connected with greediness and thus with idolatry. The craving for such things can easily take the place of our love for God. Can we take the risk of allowing any of these things to control us, so that Jehovah is no longer “one Jehovah” to us? No, we cannot." - w16 6/15 p. 21 par 11

<< Sexual Impropriety [1 Cor 7:36] >>

"Do not be misled. Those who are sexually immoral, idolaters, adulterers, men who submit to homosexual acts, men who practice homosexuality, thieves, greedy people,drunkards, revilers, and extortioners will not inherit God’s Kingdom. And yet that is what some of you were. " - 1 Cor 6:9-11

"Deaden, therefore, your body members that are on the earth as respects sexual immorality, uncleanness, uncontrolled sexual passion, hurtful desire, and greediness , which is idolatry " - Colossians 3:5

"For this is the will of God, that you should be holy and abstain from sexual immorality. Each one of you should know how to control his own body in holiness and honor, not with greedy, uncontrolled sexual passion like the nations have that do not know God." - 1 Thessalonians 4:3-5

“The time that has passed by is sufficient for you to have done the will of the nations when you carried on in acts of brazen conduct, unbridled passions, overdrinking, wild parties, drinking bouts, and lawless idolatries.”​— 1 Pet. 4:3
