¹³ “Food is meant for the stomach and the stomach for food,”^[a] and God will destroy both one and the other. The body is meant not for sexual immorality but for the Lord and the Lord for the body.^{(A) 14} And God raised the Lord and will also raise us by his power.^{(B) 15} Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Should I therefore take the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? Never!^(C)

¹⁷ But anyone united to the Lord becomes one spirit with him.^{(A) 18} Shun sexual immorality!^[a] Every sin that a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person^[b] sins against the body itself.^{(B) 19} Or do you not know that your body is a temple^[c] of the Holy Spirit within you, which you have from God, and that you are not your own?^{(C) 20} For you were bought with a price; therefore glorify God in your body.^(D)
