Glorify God in Body and Spirit

¹² “All things are permitted for me,” but not all things are beneficial. “All things are permitted for me,” but I will not be dominated by anything. ¹³ “Food is meant for the stomach and the stomach for food,”^[a] and God will destroy both one and the other. The body is meant not for sexual immorality but for the Lord and the Lord for the body.^{(A) 14} And God raised the Lord and will also raise us by his power.^{(B) 15} Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Should I therefore take the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? Never!^{(C) 16} Do you not know that whoever is united to a prostitute becomes one body with her? For it is said, “The two shall be one flesh.”^{(D) 17} But anyone united to the Lord becomes one spirit with him.^{(E) 18} Shun sexual immorality!^[b] Every sin that a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person^[c] sins against the body itself.^{(F) 19} Or do you not know that your body is a temple^[d] of the Holy Spirit within you, which you have from God, and that you are not your own?^{(G) 20} For you were bought with a price; therefore glorify God in your body.^(H)
