^15 (A)Do you not know that ^(B)your bodies are parts of Christ? Shall I then take away the parts of Christ and make them parts of a prostitute? ^[a](C)Far from it! ¹⁶ Or ^(D)do you not know that the one who joins himself to a prostitute is one body with her? For He says, “^(E)The two shall become one flesh.” ¹⁷ But the one who joins himself to the Lord is ^(F)one spirit with Him. ^18 (G)Flee sexual immorality. Every other sin that a person commits is outside the body, but the ^[b]sexually immoral person sins against his own body. ¹⁹ Or ^(H)do you not know that ^(I)your body is a ^[c]temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from ^[d]God, and that ^(J)you are not your own? ²⁰ For ^(K)you have been bought for a price: therefore glorify God in ^(L)your body.

³ For this is the will of God, your sanctification; that is, that you ^(A)abstain from sexual immorality; ⁴ that ^(B)each of you know how to ^[a]possess his own ^[b](C)vessel in sanctification and ^(D)honor, ⁵ not in ^[c](E)lustful passion, like the Gentiles who ^(F)do not know God; ⁶ and that no one violate the rights and ^(G)take advantage of his brother or sister ^(H)in the matter, because ^(I)the Lord is the avenger in all these things, just as we also ^(J)told you previously and solemnly warned you.
