1 Corinthians 6:12-20 NIV
12 "Everything is permissible
for me"—but not everything is beneficial. "Everything is permissible
for me"—but I will not be mastered by anything.
13 "Food for the stomach and
the stomach for food"—but God will destroy them both. The body is
not meant for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for
the body.
14 By his power God raised the
Lord from the dead, and he will raise us also.
15 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!
16 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."
17 But he who unites himself
with the Lord is one with him in spirit.
18 Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a man commits
are outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own
body.
19 Do you not know that your
body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have
received from God? You are not your own;
20 you were bought at a price.
Therefore honor God with your body. |
