How do we know that fornication is a sin?

Answered in 2 sources

Fornication is classified as a sin in Scripture, and its consequences are clearly warned against by both Paul and other biblical authors.

Fornication is clearly identified as a sin in the Bible based on various passages, such as Hebrews 13:4, which states that 'marriage is honorable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.' This establishes that God views sexual relationships outside of marriage as defilement. Additionally, Paul cautions the Corinthians against fornication in 1 Corinthians 6:18, urging believers to 'flee fornication' due to its potency to corrupt not only individual lives but the community of faith as well. Furthermore, the gravity of physical fornication foreshadows spiritual fornication, where reliance on anything other than God's covenant places believers in jeopardy of divine judgment.
