1 Corinthians 6:9-20

1 Corinthians 6:9-20 CSB

Don’t you know that the unrighteous  will not inherit God’s kingdom?  Do not be deceived: No sexually immoral people, idolaters,  adulterers,  or males who have sex with males,  , no thieves,  greedy  people, drunkards, verbally abusive people,  or swindlers  will inherit God’s kingdom. And some of you used to be like this.  But you were washed, you were sanctified,  you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God. “Everything is permissible  for me,” but not everything is beneficial. “Everything is permissible for me,” but I will not be mastered by anything. “Food  is for the stomach and the stomach for food,” and God will do away with both of them. However, the body is not for sexual immorality  but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body. God raised up the Lord and will also raise us up by his power.  Don’t you know that your bodies are a part of Christ’s body?  So should I take a part of Christ’s body and make it part of a prostitute? Absolutely not! Don’t you know that anyone joined to a prostitute is one body with her? For Scripture says, The two will become one flesh.   , But anyone joined  to the Lord is one spirit  with him. Flee  sexual immorality! Every other sin  a person commits is outside the body, but the person who is sexually immoral  sins against his own body. Don’t you know that your body is a temple  of the Holy Spirit  who is in you,  whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought  at a price. So glorify God with your body.
