Sexual immorality

Everything is permissible (allowable and lawful) for me;
but not all things are helpful (good for me to do, expedient and profitable
when considered with other things).
Everything is lawful for me,
but I will not become the slave of anything or be brought under its power.

Food [is intended] for the stomach and the stomach for food,
but God will finally end [the functions of] both and bring them to nothing.
The body is not intended for sexual immorality, but [is intended] for the Lord,
and the Lord [is intended] for the body [to save, sanctify, and raise it again].

And God both raised the Lord to life and will also raise us up by His power.

Do you not see and know that your bodies are members (bodily parts) of Christ (the Messiah)?
Am I therefore to take the parts of Christ and make [them] parts of a prostitute?
Never! Never!

Or do you not know and realize that when a man joins himself to a prostitute,
he becomes one body with her?
The two, it is written, shall become one flesh.

But the person who is united to the Lord becomes one spirit with Him.

Shun immorality and all sexual looseness [flee from impurity in thought, word, or deed].
Any other sin which a man commits is one outside the body,
but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body.

Do you not know that your body is the temple (the very sanctuary) of the Holy Spirit
Who lives within you, Whom you have received [as a Gift] from God?
You are not your own,

You were bought with a price [purchased with a preciousness and paid for, made His own].
So then, honor God and bring glory to Him in your body.
