^18 (A)Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin^[a] a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person ^(B)sins against his own body. ¹⁹ Or ^(C)do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? ^(D)You are not your own, ^20 (E)for you were bought with a price. ^(F)So glorify God in your body.

²⁰ “If the man who is unclean does not cleanse himself, ^(A)that person shall be cut off from the midst of the assembly, since he has defiled the sanctuary of the Lord. Because the water for impurity has not been thrown on him, he is unclean.

³⁸ Moreover, this they have done to me: ^(A)they have defiled my sanctuary on the same day and ^(B)profaned my Sabbaths. ³⁹ For when ^(C)they had slaughtered their children in sacrifice to their idols, on the same day ^(D)they came into my sanctuary to profane it. And behold, ^(E)this is what they did in my house.

How Long, O Lord?

A Psalm of ^(A)Asaph.
