Although all unrighteousness is sin but sexual immorality is considered grave and great sin before God. (Corinthians 3: 16-17)

It is among the ten commandments of God given to Isreal not to commit Adultery (Exodus 20:14). Polygamy and polyandry also constitute adultery.
Fornication is sexual immorality or intercourse between unmarried couples. Fornication has so gone viral among youths in the church like never before. The temptation to commit Fornication or Adultery is commom to all but you don’t have to fall for it (1 Corinthian 10:12-13)
