The Body as Temple: Flee Sexual Immorality

1 Corinthians 6:12-20

6
Chapter 6
12 All things are permitted to me, but not all things are advantageous. All things are permitted to me, but I will not be mastered by anything. 13 Foods are for the stomach, and the stomach is for foods; but God will render both this one and these powerless. But the body is not for sexual immorality but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body. 14 But God both raised the Lord and will raise us through his power. 15 Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? May it never be! 16 Or do you not know that the one joined to the prostitute is one body? For "they will be," he says, "the two into one flesh." 17 But the one who is joined to the Lord is one spirit. 18 Flee sexual immorality! Every sin a person commits is outside the body, but the one who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. 19 Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, which you have from God? And you are not your own, 20 For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body.
