¹²“Everything is permissible^ad for me,” but not everything is beneficial. “Everything is permissible for me,” but I will not be mastered by anything. ¹³“Food^ae is for the stomach and the stomach for food,” and God will do away with both of them. However, the body is not for sexual immorality^af but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body. ¹⁴God raised up the Lord and will also raise us up by his power.^ag ¹⁵Don’t you know that your bodies are a part of Christ’s body?^ah So should I take a part of Christ’s body and make it part of a prostitute? Absolutely not! ¹⁶Don’t you know that anyone joined to a prostitute is one body with her? For Scripture says, The two will become one flesh.^B^ai ¹⁷But anyone joined^aj to the Lord is one spirit^ak with him.

¹⁸Flee^al sexual immorality! Every other sin^C a person commits is outside the body, but the person who is sexually immoral^am sins against his own body. ¹⁹Don’t you know that your body is a temple^an of the Holy Spirit^ao who is in you,^ap whom you have from God? You are not your own, ²⁰for you were bought^aq at a price. So glorify God with your body.^D

Read in Logos
