sexual immorality (v.1) \u2014 The word refers to illicit sexual intercourse of any type. It seems that the man’s father was still alive (2 Corinthians 7:12<\/span><\/a>), that the father and his wife were separated or divorced (perhaps because of the wife’s relations with the son), that the man was a Christian (v.11<\/span><\/a>) and that the woman was not (v.13<\/span><\/a>). The woman is often thought to be the man’s step-mother, but there is nothing in the text to rule out her being his mother. The crime was forbidden by Roman law and by Mosaic law (Leviticus 18:8; Deuteronomy 22:30. See also Ephesians 5:3<\/span><\/a>).<\/h3>\n
