1 Corinthians 6:14-18

Flee Sexual Immorality

14 And h God raised the Lord and i will also raise us up j by his power. 15 Do you not know that k your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? Never! 16 Or do you not know that he who is joined 1 to a prostitute becomes one body with her? For, as it is written, l "The two will become one flesh." 17 But he who is joined to the Lord m becomes one spirit with him. 18 n Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin 2 a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person o sins against his own body.
