Book Three – "Christian Behavior"

Chapter 5: "Sexual Morality"

  • The Christian rule/virtue of chastity must not be confused with the societal rule of 'modesty.'
    • Modesty simply sets the rules for how much skin should be shown in different situations, and what topics are allowed in conversations.
    • the rules of modesty are different at different times and in different places and for different groups of people, even different situations.
    • chastity is always the same at all times for all Christians
    • Christian chastity is "Either marriage, with complete faithfulness to your partner, or else total abstinence."
