It is often used in a broader sense to encompass any sexual activity outside the bounds of a biblically defined marriage between one man and one woman. The term is frequently employed in moral exhortations and ethical teachings to warn believers against engaging in such behaviors.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, sexual immorality was prevalent and often accepted as part of daily life, including practices such as temple prostitution and extramarital affairs. The early Christian community, however, was called to a higher standard of sexual purity, reflecting the holiness of God. The teachings of Jesus and the apostles emphasized the sanctity of marriage and the importance of sexual purity as a reflection of one's commitment to God.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>of Latin origin<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>Porcius (Festus), a governor of Judea<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Porcius (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 4201: Πόρκιος</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">Πόρκιος</span></span>, see <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">Φῆστος</span></span>. <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>Porcius. <p>Of Latin origin; apparently swinish; Porcius, a Roman -- Porcius. <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>Πορκιον Πόρκιον Porkion Pórkion<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/acts/24-27.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Acts 24:27</a> <a href="/abbrev.htm" title="Noun - Accusative Masculine Singular">N-AMS</a></b><br><a href="/interlinear/acts/24.htm" title="Greek">GRK:</a> <span class="greek3">ὁ Φῆλιξ <b>Πόρκιον</b> Φῆστον θέλων</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/acts/24.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> was succeeded <span class="itali">by Porcius</span> Festus,<br><a href="/kjvs/acts/24.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> after two years <span class="itali">Porcius</span> Festus came<br><a href="/interlinear/acts/24-27.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> Felix <span class="itali">Porcius</span> Festus wishing<p><b><a href="/greek/4201.htm">Strong's Greek 4201</a><br><a href="/greek/strongs_4201.htm">1 Occurrence</a></b><br><br><a href="/greek/porkion_4201.htm">Πόρκιον — 1 Occ.</a><br><br></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="mdd"><div align="center"><div class="bot2"><table align="center" width="100%"><tr><td><div align="center"> <script id="3d27ed63fc4348d5b062c4527ae09445"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=51ce25d5-1a8c-424a-8695-4bd48c750f35&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script> <script id="b817b7107f1d4a7997da1b3c33457e03"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=cb0edd8b-b416-47eb-8c6d-3cc96561f7e8&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-2'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-0' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-3'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-1' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div align="center" id='div-gpt-ad-1531425649696-0'> </div><br /><br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:200px;height:200px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3753401421161123" data-ad-slot="3592799687"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script><br /><br /> </div> <div id="left"><a href="/greek/4200.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="4200"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="4200" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/greek/4202.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="4202"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="4202" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhchap.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
