expanded on use of the term in the New Testament
'''Sexual immorality''' is any act of sex outside of [[marriage]], and sometimes includes sexual acts even between spouses. Sexual immorality includes fornication, [[homosexuality]], pedophilia, bestiality, and any form of [[lust]]. The term is understood universally across cultures, though the norms slightly change (some cultures, such as the [[Greeks]] allowed pedophilia, and late 20th century [[atheism|godless]] culture allows homosexuality and fornication).
