My Body
“…The body, however, is not meant for sexual immorality but for the Lord, and the
Lord for the body. By his power God raised the Lord from the dead, and he will raise
us also. Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ himself? Shall I
then take the members of Christ and unite them with a prostitute? Never! Do you
not know that he who unites himself with a prostitute is one with her in body? For it
is said, “The two will become one flesh.” But whoever is united with the Lord is one
with him in spirit. Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a person commits are
outside the body, but whoever sins sexually, sins against their own body. Do you
not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you
have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies. 1 Corinthians 6:13-20
