Ephesians5:3

3 But fornication , and all uncleanness , or covetousness , let it not be once named among you as becometh Saints .

Folly committed between Unmarried persons, especially mens abuse of themselves with common Strumpets, a sin not owned as such among the Heathen.

All other unlawfull lusts whereby Men defile themselves.

Either an unsatiable desire of gratifying their lusts, as ch. 4.19. or rather an immoderate desire of gain, which was usual in Cities of great Trade, as Ephesus was, see v. 5.

Not heard of, or not mentioned without detestation, see Psal. 16.4. 1 Cor. 5.1.

Who should be pure and holy not in their bodies and minds onely, but in their words too.

Marginal references: Col. 3.5. 1 Thess. 4.3, &c.
