1 Corinthians 6:14-7:1

English Standard Version

¹⁴ And ^(A)God raised the Lord and ^(B)will also raise us up ^(C)by his power. ¹⁵ Do you not know that ^(D)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^[a] to a prostitute becomes one body with her? For, as it is written, ^(E)“The two will become one flesh.” ¹⁷ But he who is joined to the Lord ^(F)becomes one spirit with him. ^18 (G)Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin^[b] a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person ^(H)sins against his own body. ¹⁹ Or ^(I)do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? ^(J)You are not your own, ^20 (K)for you were bought with a price. ^(L)So glorify God in your body.
