…abstain from fornication.

This principle covers far more than just the act of sexual sin.

It covers the many approaches and allurements that open the doors for those actions. Modesty is a central theme in this principle. To dress in such a manner as to focus the attention of the opposite gender in an inappropriate fashion is a violation of this principle. Separation of the sexes is also covered by this wall. Much of overt sin begins in a subtle fashion. This is a principle that must be applied to the small things or it will be useless in protecting us from the destruction of lust.
