English term or phrase: sexsin
In the book The Hiding Place
Stephen
German translation:Lustsünde
Explanation:
I\'m not aware of an official translation, but Lustsünde or Sünde der Lust might cover it, considering the time frame. On the other hand, again with respect to the time frame, Lust and Sünde are almost synonyms. The same goes for sex and sin, so I guess it\'s okay.

Unzucht


Explanation:
perhaps Corrie Ten Boom means "fornication"?

(For others: the book is about a woman hiding Jews - I believe in the Netherlands...)
