"Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God." (1 Cor. 6:9-10)

According to ABC's Primetime Live, sexually active teenage girls wish they were virgins again. The prime-time news magazine aired a segment dealing with the epidemic of teen pregnancies. Diane Sawyer cited statistics (no sources) that by the end of the ninth grade 33% of American girls have had sexual intercourse and 70% by the end of high school. She supported this contention with interviews of several sexually active teenage girls, some as young as the eighth grade, and claiming as many as 10 different partners. At the end of the segment, Sawyer reported that "every single one of these sexually active girls confided with us that they wish they'd said 'no.'"

When tempted by Potiphar's wife to commit fornication, Joseph said, "How then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?" (Gen. 39:9)
