Sexual Sin is Injustice
Most scholars agree that Paul is continuing his discussion on sexual purity. He frames sexual sin not merely as a personal failure but as an act of "transgressing" and "defrauding" a Christian brother—likely the woman's current or future husband. This perspective elevates sexual ethics from a private matter to an issue of community justice and love, where our actions directly impact others.
