Ephesians 5:3 ESV
But sexual immorality and all impurity or covetousness must not even be named among you, as is proper among saints.
Again, Paul reminded us to put off the old self and stay away from evil deeds. He categorized them into 3 classes:
_ sexual immorality: e.g. lust, adultery, fornication...
_ impurity: e.g. dishonesty, cheating, no integrity...
_ covetousness: e.g. greed, envy, jealous, steal, thief ...
And we must stay away from them in our heart, in our mind, not just in our actions. Nurturing evil thoughts is playing with the devil and keeping fire in our heart. Sin in the mind will find its way to manifest in the deed, eventually lead to death.
