Sexual Immorality

12. Someone will say, *I am allowed to do anything.* Yes; but not everything is good for you. I could say that I am allowed to do anything, but I am not going to let anything make me its slave.

13. Someone else will say, *Food is for the stomach, and the stomach is for food.* Yes; but God will put an end to both. The body is not to be used for sexual immorality, but to serve the Lord; and the Lord provides for the body.

14. God raised the Lord from death, and he will also raise us by his power.

15. You know that your bodies are parts of the body of Christ. Shall I take a part of Christ's body and make it part of the body of a prostitute? Impossible!

16. Or perhaps you don't know that the man who joins his body to a prostitute becomes physically one with her? The scripture says quite plainly, *The two will become one body.*

17. But he who joins himself to the Lord becomes spiritually one with him.

18. Avoid immorality. Any other sin a man commits does not affect his body; but the man who is guilty of sexual immorality sins against his own body.

19. Don't you know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and who was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourselves but to God;

20. he bought you for a price. So use your bodies for God's glory.
