Never! 16 Do you not know that he who unites himself with a prostitute is one with her in body?

18 Flee from sexual immorality.(H) All other sins a person commits are outside the body, but whoever sins sexually, sins against their own body.(I) 19 Do you not know that your bodies are temples(J) of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own;(K) 20 you were bought at a price.(L) Therefore honor God with your bodies.(M)
