1 Corinthians 6:12-20

12 1All things are lawful for me, but not all things are profitable. All things are lawful for me, but I will not be mastered by anything.

13 2Food is for the 3stomach and the 4stomach is for food, but God will 5do away with both 6of them. Yet the body is not for immorality, but 7for the Lord, and 8the Lord is for the body.

14Now God has not only 9raised the Lord, but 10will also raise us up through His power.

15 11Do you not know that 12your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take away the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? 13May it never be!

16Or 14do you not know that the one who joins himself to a prostitute is one body with her? For He says, “15The two shall become one flesh.”

17But the one who joins himself to the Lord is 16one spirit with Him.

18 17Flee immorality. Every other sin that a man commits is outside the body, but the 18immoral man sins against his own body.

19Or 19do you not know that 20your body is a 21temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from 22God, and that 23you are not your own?

20For 24you have been bought with a price: therefore glorify God in 25your body.
