1 Thessalonians 4:6 - Additional Comments
Sexual immorality doesn't just defraud the woman you see or touch, it also defrauds her husband.
But sexual immorality, as with any sin, has a much broader reach than just those directly affected. Children are affected, whether they ever know about it or not. And it's not just the physical immorality, but the mental, too, that affects your children. Even if no one knows about it. God promises sin has penalties.
Exodus 34:7 "who keeps lovingkindness for thousands, who forgives iniquity, transgression and sin; yet He will by no means leave the guilty unpunished, visiting the iniquity of fathers on the children and on the grandchildren to the third and fourth generations."
And what a warning! God will take vengeance against you! Be forewarned!
