But fornication and all impurity, or insatiable desire, let it not be mentioned among you, as becometh saints; or obscenity, or foolish talk, or loose witticisms; things which become not a Christian, but rather thanksgiving. For this ye know, that no whoremonger, or impure person, or avaricious, who is an idolater, hath an inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
How will the covetous person howl for setting his neighbour, his friend, his brother, his children and relations, so wicked an example! by which he hath not only wronged his own soul, but also the souls of others. The liar, by lying, learned others to lie; the swearer learned others to swear; the whoremonger learned others to whore.
Come, stay this night with me and you shall receive a farm with ten head of cattle, so that to-morrow you can stand at the altar with your huntsman!" "Hold your tongue, you whoremonger!" said Lasse angrily. Those round about him tried to calm him; one or another nudged him in the ribs. "Well, can't a man speak any longer?" Lasse turned crossly to Pelle.
And so a noted whoremonger is to be chosen before a man who is a money-lover! Let me tell you, Niece, this little becomes so nice a one as you have been always reckoned. Who, think you, does more injustice, a prodigal man or a saving man? The one saves his own money; the other spends other people's. But your favourite is a sinner in grain, and upon record. The devil's in your sex!
I must not follow my own desire, but the will and pleasure of Christ. Now what saith he? Non fornicaberis, non adulteraberis; "Thou shalt not be a whoremonger, thou shalt not be a wedlock-breaker." Here I must deny myself, and my will, and give place unto his will; abhor and hate my own will.
