I find that vagueness unhelpful, as it's been weaponized by the progressive Christianity movement. And most importantly, I believe fornication is a sin primarily because I've seen it listed as a sin in the #NKJV, and it's not specifically mentioned in the #ESV by name, so if I go to a progressive Christian and go like "hey fornication is a sin", they can say "well fornication isn't in the Bible" and I don't think I could refute that using the #NKJV
