Porneia does not only refer to sexual immorality, if it did then there would be no necessity to insert the word FORNICATION in the lexicon as aptly put by the Greek scholars and Grammarians. Also, I don't see how you can tell me that FORNICATION is not sexual immorality. Lets see a PERFECT EXAMPLE of how Porneia (FORNICATION) actually means FORNICATION.
"Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman. Nevertheless, to avoid fornication [porneia], let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband." (1 Corinthians 7:1-2, KJV)
The context clearly condemns sex before marriage.
Love,
