The Bible expressly forbids sexual sins: fornication (sexual immorality in general) and adultery (consensual sex between a married individual and someone other than his or her spouse) are included (Matthew 15:19; Romans 1:29; 1 Corinthians 5:1).
Although it is not specifically covered by that term, premarital sex, sometimes known as sex before marriage, is included in the category of sexual immorality.
Biblical teachings on sex before marriage often emphasize respect for oneself and one’s partner, viewing marriage as a covenant that involves a lifelong commitment.
Jesus' teachings, while more focused on love and compassion, also address purity of heart and the importance of intentional relationships, such as in Matthew 5:28, where He advises against even lustful thoughts.
Ultimately, many Christians interpret these verses as guidance to maintain sexual purity until marriage. However, interpretations vary across different denominations and cultures, with some focusing on the broader principle of respecting and honoring others in all relationships.
