Galatians 5:19
Now the works of the flesh . . . are [these]. The tree is known by
its fruits. We show our fruits whether we are of the flesh or Spirit.
The works of the flesh are first given. Paul names (1) Four sins of
sensuality; (2) two spiritual sins of false religion; (3) sins against
our fellow men, of which nine are specified; (4) sins of intemperance,
of which two are named.
Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness. The sins of
sensuality were sanctioned by the heathen religion in the worship of
Venus, and sanctioned by the purest heathen moralists. Christianity had
to breast the current of the whole world. It differs from heathen
morality as day from night.
