1 Corinthians 6:15-17

Flee Sexual Immorality

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.
