13 (A)“Food is meant for the stomach and the stomach for food”—and God will destroy both one (B)and the other. The body is not meant for sexual immorality, but (C)for the Lord, and (D)the Lord for the body. 14 And (E)God raised the Lord and (F)will also raise us up (G)by his power. 15 Do you not know that (H)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, (I)“The two will become one flesh.” 17 But he who is joined to the Lord (J)becomes one spirit with him. 18 (K)Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin[b] a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person (L)sins against his own body.
