It was Webster's.

> 	1. porneia ^4202^ is used (a) of "illicit sexual intercourse," in <John
> 8:41; Acts 15:20,29; 21:25; 1 Cor. 5:1; 6:13,18; 2 Cor. 12:21; Gal. 5:19;
> Eph. 5:3; Col. 3:5; 1 Thes. 4:3; Rev. 2:21; 9:21>; in the plural in <1 Cor.
> 7:2>; in <Matt. 5:32> and <19:9> it stands for, or includes, adultery;

Can I point out something right quick?  Jesus said a man could commit 
adultery in his heart.  Therefore, a man can commit adultery without 
"illicit sexual intercourse".  Also, as I pointed out before, 
adultery is listed separately from fornication.

I guess we're just going to have to agree to disagree on this one.  I 
don't think anybody is budging.
