Adam Clarke’s Commentary

Verse 19.   Now the works of the flesh are manifest] By flesh we are to understand the evil and fallen state of the soul, no longer under the guidance of God’s Spirit and right reason, but under the animal passions; and they are even rendered more irregular and turbulent by the influence of sin; so that man is in a worse state than the brute: and so all-commanding is this evil nature that it leads men into all kinds of crimes; and among them the following, which are manifest-known to all, and most prevalent; and, though these are most solemnly forbidden by your law, the observance of its ordinances gives no power to overcome them, and provides no pardon for the guilt and condemnation produced by them.

Adultery]  moiceia.  Illicit connection with a married person. This word is wanting in this place in the best MSS., versions, and fathers; the next term often comprehending both.

Fornication]  porneia.  Illicit connection between single or unmarried persons; yet often signifying adultery also.

Uncleanness]  akayapsia.  Whatever is opposite to purity; probably meaning here, as in Ro 1:24; 2Co 12:21, unnatural practices; sodomy, bestiality.

Lasciviousness]  aselgeia.  Whatever is contrary to chastity; all lewdness.
