A Habit, Not a Stumble
Commentators stress that the Greek word for 'practise' refers to a habitual, ongoing lifestyle, not an isolated sin. The warning is for those who continually and unrepentantly live in these sins, giving evidence they have never received God's Spirit. This is not about a believer who falls and repents, but about a life characterized by the flesh.
