¿Es la sexualidad tan sagrado que Dios ha destruido civilizaciones enteras que eran inmorales? Las prácticas sexuales perversas están en todas partes. El mundo yace en el pecado, y en este día y edad, puede ser aún más difícil que nunca escapar de él. La conducta sexual y la santidad del matrimonio siempre han estado en el interés de Dios, y también deberían ser una de nuestras más altas prioridades.

La pereza, o la pereza, no es algo que hacemos; más bien, no está haciendo algo que deberíamos que lo hace tan pecaminoso. Las palabras latinas " tristitia " o "acedia" significan "sin cuidado".
