that no one should take advantage of and wrong a brother or sister in this matter; because the Lord is an avenger in all these things, as also we forewarned you and testified.
The Lord is an avenger ...  The Lord is an avenger in all wickedness; but here it is especially declared that the Lord will judge and avenge against the sexual vices under consideration.  Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed for gross wickedness, but it was their sexual impurity which precipitated their destruction.  America needs the lesson of this in the most urgent sense at this very time.  It seems nearly incredible to one brought up in the glory of a ful!  Christian heritage that modern man could countenance and even advocate homosexuality as some in our own day are doing.  May it be remembered that even if people decide in their arrogance to set aside God's law in this regard, the Avenger will still bring judgment upon them.
