1 Corinthians 6:15

Compare all

13 ^aFoods for the stomach and the stomach for foods, but God will destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for ^bsexual immorality but ^cfor the Lord, ^dand the Lord for the body.

14 And ^aGod both raised up the Lord and will also raise us up ^bby His power.

15 Do you not know that ^ayour bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a harlot? Certainly not!

16 Or do you not know that he who is joined to a harlot is one body with her? For ^a“the two,” He says, “shall become one flesh.”

17 ^aBut he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him.

18 ^aFlee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins ^bagainst his own body.

19 Or ^ado you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, ^band you are not your own?

20 For ^ayou were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body¹ and in your spirit, which are God’s.

1 Corinthians 6:15

I Corinthians 6:15 Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? This is a doctrine emphasized by Paul. Our bodies are a part of Christ's mystical body, the Lord's holy temple, designed for the indwelling of the Spirit. How sacrilegious to take a member of Christ's body and degrade it to fornication, or to any act of licentiousness! It is a duty which a Christian owes to Christ to keep his body pure. As the arm or finger has the life of the body until cut off, so we have the life of Christ until we sever ourselves from him by sinful acts.
