1 Corinthians 6:18-20

Flee Sexual Immorality

¹⁸ _n Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin ₁ a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person _o sins against his own body. ¹⁹ Or _p do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? _q You are not your own, ²⁰ _r for you were bought with a price. _s So glorify God in your body.
