1 Corinthians 6:16-18
1599 Geneva Bible
16 [a]Do ye not know, that he which coupleth himself with an harlot, is one body? (A)for [b]two, saith he, shall be one flesh.
17 But he that is joined unto the Lord, is one spirit.
18 [c]Flee fornication: every sin that a man doeth, is without the body: but he that commiteth fornication, sinneth against his own body.

- 1 Corinthians 6:16 A proof of the same argument: a harlot and Christ are clean contrary, so are the flesh and the Spirit: therefore he that is one with an harlot (which is done by carnal copulation of their bodies) cannot be one with Christ, which unity is pure and spiritual.
- 1 Corinthians 6:16 Moses doth not speak these words of fornication, but of marriage: but seeing that fornication is the corrupting of marriage, and both of them is a carnal and fleshly copulation, we cannot say that the Apostle abuseth his testimony. Again, Moses hath not this word (Two) but it is very well expresseth both here and in Matt. 29:5, because he speaketh only but of man and wife: whereupon the opinion of them that vouch it to be lawful to have many wives, is beaten down: for he that companieth with many, is sundered as it were into many parts.
- 1 Corinthians 6:18 Another argument why fornication is to be eschewed, because it defileth the body with a peculiar kind of filthiness.
