³¹ Jacob said, “Sell me your birthright now.” ³² Esau said, “I am about to die; of what use is a birthright to me?” ³³ Jacob said, “Swear to me now.” So he swore to him and ^(A)sold his birthright to Jacob. ³⁴ Then Jacob gave Esau bread and lentil stew, and he ate and drank and rose and went his way. Thus Esau despised his birthright.

^4 (A)Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge ^(B)the sexually immoral and adulterous.

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

^15 (A)Outside are ^(B)the dogs ^(C)and sorcerers and the sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.
