1 Corinthians 6:16-18
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
16 [Or] do you not know that anyone who joins himself to a prostitute becomes one body with her? For “the two,” it says, “will become one flesh.”(A) 17 But whoever is joined to the Lord becomes one spirit with him.(B) 18 Avoid immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the immoral person sins against his own body.[a]
