¹²“All things are permitted for me,” but not all things are beneficial. “All things are permitted for me,” but I will not be dominated by anything. ¹³“Food is meant for the stomach and the stomach for food,”^w and God will destroy both one and the other. The body is meant not for sexual immorality but for the Lord and the Lord for the body.^* ¹⁴And God raised the Lord and will also raise us by his power.^* ¹⁵Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Should I therefore take the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? Never!^* ¹⁶Do you not know that whoever is united to a prostitute becomes one body with her? For it is said, “The two shall be one flesh.”^* ¹⁷But anyone united to the Lord becomes one spirit with him.^* ¹⁸Shun sexual immorality!^x Every sin that a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person^y sins against the body itself.^* ¹⁹Or do you not know that your body is a temple^z of the Holy Spirit within you, which you have from God, and that you are not your own?^* ²⁰For you were bought with a price; therefore glorify God in your body.^*

Read in Logos
