¹³^aFood is for the ¹stomach and the stomach is for food, but God will ^bdo away with both ²of them. Yet the body is not for immorality, but ^cfor the Lord, and ^dthe Lord is for the body.

¹⁴Now God has not only ^araised the Lord, but ^bwill also raise us up through His power.

¹⁵^aDo you not know that ^byour bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take away the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? ^cMay it never be!

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

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

¹⁸^aFlee immorality. Every other sin that a man commits is outside the body, but the ¹immoral man sins against his own body.

¹⁹Or ^ado you not know that ^byour body is a ¹temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from ²God, and that ^cyou are not your own?

²⁰For ^ayou have been bought with a price: therefore glorify God in ^byour body.

Read in Logos

1 Corinthians 6:19–20: Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.
