Colossians 3:5 Douay-Rheims

Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, lust, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is the service of idols.

Clement of Alexandria

c. A.D. 150–215 Patristic

Fornication in a woman is in the raising of the eyes. "Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, and concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: for which things' sake cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience," cries the apostle. But we enkindle the passions, and are not ashamed.
