1 Corinthians 5:9 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

I wrote, &c.— I have written unto you in an [this] Epistle. Instead of fornicators, in this and the following verses, some very properly render the original word πορνοι, by lewd persons, as it is plain the Apostle intended the word should be taken in that extent; his argumentconcluding yet more strongly against some other species of lewdness, than against what is called simple fornication, detestable as that is. See on 1 Corinthians 5:1.
