What does sexual immorality trigger?

Sexual immorality triggers jealousies, envying, and murders, setting off destructive relational consequences that can end in one or more murders. It is tied together with other sins, including drunkenness, showing that sexual immorality is not isolated but sets off a connected chain of wrongdoing.

Les explains that as soon as sexual immorality is present, it triggers jealousies, envying, and murders. He stresses that it all comes together, asking how many triangles have ended in the murder of one or more. The surrounding context associates such sins with Satan's powers and a form of worship or religion, listing hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, and drunkenness, showing a connected pattern of false worship and destructive sins.

Galatians 5:21

Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
