    Yes, here is a reference from Hebrews 13:4, ‘Marriage is to be held in honor among all, and the marriage bed is to be undefiled; for fornicators and adulterers God will judge’

  2. Megan Harris says:

    “Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.”
    ‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭6:18‬ ‭KJV‬‬

  3. Megan Harris says:

    for·ni·ca·tion –
    sexual intercourse between people not married to each other.

  4. Megan Harris says:

    “Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught? But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man. For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies: These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man.”
    ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭15:17-20‬ ‭KJV‬‬

    There are several scriptures all throughout new and Old Testament. Hope that helps brother.

  5. Jasmine Hollins says:

    Those Scriptures are good, and it’s more than that. The power of sexuality is so powerful that it can only be completely safe within the covenant of marriage.
    It’s not just about the negative of what happens outside of marriage, yes there is consequences and it is a sin, but I think it’s more about the sanctity of it within marriage. It’s gods original beautiful design. And it is only 100% kept pure with in covenant.

  6. Fabian Nicholls says:

    1 Corinthians 6 also Speaks about “fornicators will not inherit the kingdom “

  7. Sergio Salarda Sanchez says:

    Good afternoon. I believe one must approach the law of God with the questions “why”. To give a verse would only answer the questions “how”.

    Scripture states that sex is the only sin we could commit against our body. A man and a woman are joined in the flesh by having sex. why?

    We must refer back to the covenants. A covenant must be sealed with shedding of blood. Marriage is a covenant. Hence in Deut. 22:21 virginity on the first night of marriage is vital or a woman can be stoned to death for “whoring”.

    I fall short of this as well. I am thankful for my Lord Jesus Christ. No more shameand condemnation. All my debts are paid in full. On His account. Praise be His name!

  8. Mihj Zenemij says:

    1 Corinthians 6:9-10. All sex outside marriage is a sin and so we become enemy of God.

  9. Isaac Olufemi Adekunle says:

    1 Corinthians 5:9
    I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators:

    1 Corinthians 5:11
    But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.

    1 Corinthians 6:9
    Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,

  12. Stewart MacLeod says:

    The idea is that as soon as you have sex you are one in flesh with that person, see genesis. This is a bond only meant for married people. As random sex means you are one flesh with loads of different people and causes hurts, jealousy, lust, disease etc none of which is found in a healthy marriage.

  13. Ray Jenkins says:

    Good point. It’s not really a marriage until it’s consummated

  14. Keith Knight says:

    I believe its called fornication. A word search will yield plenty of results, unless of course you’re not looking for results, but justification, then don’t bother.

  15. Tamara Jane Farmer says:

    In law it talks of stoning virgins those who have sex out of wedlock.
    Corinthians7:8-9
    “To the unmarried and the widows I say that it is good for them to remain single, as I am. But if they cannot exercise self-control, they should marry. For it is better to marry than to burn with passion.”
    Paul clearly spells out that for unmarried, single people, God desires abstinence from sex for them. If abstinence is not something they can live with, then they should seek to get married. It’s clear that sex within the context of marriage is not a sin, but outside of marriage it is sinful.

  16. Ray Jenkins says:

    All men and women are guilty then

  17. Andrew Rajah says:

  21. Rodel Amporias says:

    What type of sin is sex before Marriage? Sex is designed by God for couple and its sacred. Unfortunately, the poor understanding of sex is one of the main causes of broken families around the world. For, people sex is just for fun. Strictly speaking, it’s written the Bible that sex outside marriage is immoral. “Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous.” (Hebrew 13:4.) The very reason why we want to have premarital sex with our partners is because of lust. As a Christian this a very difficult challegne, especially in our culture today, sex is just for fun. However the bible teaches that we need to control ourselves for marriage is sacred. “For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you abstain from sexual immorality; that each one of you know how to control his own body in holiness and honor, not in the passion of lust like the Gentiles who do not know God.”(1 Thessalonians 4:3-5). ““Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body. Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.” (1 Corinthians 6:18-20).
    In reality, when you are attracted to someone, you cannot separate the love, affection and sexual attraction. Therefore; it’s much better to marry, that just doing it for fun. “To the unmarried and the widows I say that it is good for them to remain single, as I am. But if they cannot exercise self-control, they should marry. For it is better to marry than to burn with passion.” (1 Corinthians 7:8-9)
    Now if one has committed premarital sex, there is still forgiveness. My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have an advocate with the Father—Jesus Christ, the Righteous One. 2 He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world. John 2:1-3. You need be resorted. Hope you will gain insight on this.
    Thanks and God Bless.

  22. Peter Richichi says:

    Hypocrites. How many of you can say you had no sexual activity, and yes oral and anal sex is sex, before you were married? You preach something you did not uphold and confused your children into secret sex, and silence. Be honest, please.

  23. Gabriel Santiago says:

    Sex is a gift not a Hobby.

  24. Michael Utley says:

    Read your Bible…..it is all through it. Good bible study will let you know this obvious answer

  25. Michael Ritchie says:

    Maybe we are looking at God’s plan for marriage in the wrong way. You can have all the fruit in the garden, except that one tree. Premarital sex at it’s core is idolatry, since marriage is a reflection of our relationship with God. Maybe this is why so many can’t relate to God because we don’t know what a good relationship is.God first, others next, us last. Song of Solomon sings about the intimate relationship 2 people can enjoy with total surrender to each other. Why would anyone want to settle for less.

  26. Herb Van Schoick says:

    If you need help finding scripture that forbids sex outside of marriage you need to read your bible a bit more. The fact that our society rejects the teaching is even more tragic

  27. Aaron Paul Carruth says:

    You people need to read your bible and stop being ignorant of what it clearly says

  28. Caleb Backholm says:

    If you want to get around it— In a sense, sex before marriage isn’t possible. You have sex you’re married. You are now obligated to dedicate the rest of your life to that person and be sexually faithful.
    I hope this doesn’t mess up any weekend plans. ?

  29. Naomi Girley says:

    Hebrews 13:4 – Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.

  30. Tom Salamone says:

    It’s called fornication. Just do a search and you’ll find dozens of scriptures. The only appropriate sexual behavior in humans is between one man and one woman United in marriage according to the Bible. All other sexual behaviors are prohibited by God for our good

  31. Gabriel Motsoeneng says:

    You don’t need scripture references for that, but the whole bible

  32. Daniel P Campbell says:

    Hebrews 13v4….. responding for a freind

  33. Drew Williamson says:

    1Co.6:9, is just one of many Scriptures that says fornicators will not enter the kingdom of God, a fornicator is one having sex outside of marriage

  34. Frankie Tomecek says:

    Only the marriage bed is undefiled.

  35. Marco Antonio Moreno Gutierrez says:

    1 Corinthians 6:9–10 Galatians 5:19-21
    Hebrews 13:4

    Fornication, adultery, homosexuality, pornography are all forms of immortality.

    God created sex but only between man an a woman. Other than that is immorality. Thulisile Masemola hope this helps

  36. Mike Vincent says:

    Heb. 13:4 Marriage should be honored by all and the marriage bed kept undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers.

  37. Wendy Domino says:

    Even if you didn’t believe in the Bible look at all the practical reasons for waiting. If nobody had sex outside of a heterosexual marriage there would be

    1. No illegitimate children
    2. Very few unwanted pregnancies or abortions
    3. Very few STDs/STIs (Remember the AIDS epidemic where people were dropping like flies in certain communities? They would mostly all still be here alive and well if not for fornication)
    4. Very little need for paternity tests (they would still be used to make sure missing children got back to the right families or to identify a body)
    5. There would be no accusations of infidelity if nobody actually committed it.
    6. There would in general be a stable home for children to grow up in with both parents present

  38. Nicholas Morrison says:

    Look up the Merriman Webster’s definition of fornication. Then look up fornication in the Bible using a search tool. Then study.

  39. John L. Harris Sr. says:

    Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? 1 Corinthians 6:18-19

  40. Sarvo Souri Martin says:

    Have you and your friend read the Bible? There are umpteen verses starting with the first book Genesis that will answer your question.

  41. Yosef Shum says:

    Nobody seems to read between the lines of this question Sex = marriage . There are NO commands to have any sort of ceremony. Just ask the father to take the daughter. Everything else is tradition.

  42. Vivian Clark says:

    Have you heard of the word FORNICATION. That is in the Bible.

  43. Micah Belden says:

    The harder question is, can a man and a woman make a lifetime commitment that is marriage in God’s eyes but not in the State’s eyes?

  44. Joseph Conwell says:

    This is so turn

  45. Naseem Joseph says:

    Check under “adultery ” in Bible.

  46. Spike Harvey says:

    that is not exactly true sex is marrage!!!!!!!

  47. Paul Norman Hanover says:

    It is a lifelong commitment. It has nothing to do with a ceremony. Fornication is promiscuity or defiling the body through sexual intercourse outside of marriage. What is marriage: a Covenant between a man and a woman to abide in love for life, a lifelong Covenant in God’s presence. So, more than not fornication.

  48. Johnson Rayfield Desmond says:

    Masemola stop sharing post which you already know answer , cause is fornication is sin why must you fornicate before marriage, stop it please,come with more reasonable subject

  49. […] Sex before marriage is a Sin can you please show… […]
