    I think all of the things on this list, sexual immorality, unrighteousness and greed all share this component: they devalue something which is invaluable.

    Ephesians 5:3 But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God’s holy people.
