Flee Sexual Immorality

^12 (A)All things are lawful for me, but not all things are profitable. All things are lawful for me, but I will not be mastered by anything. ^13 (B)Food is for the ^[a]stomach and the ^[b]stomach is for food, but God will ^(C)do away with both ^[c]of them. Yet the body is not for sexual immorality, but ^(D)for the Lord, and ^(E)the Lord is for the body. ¹⁴ Now God has not only ^(F)raised the Lord, but ^(G)will also raise us up through His power. ^15 (H)Do you not know that ^(I)your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take away the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? ^(J)May it never be! ¹⁶ Or ^(K)do you not know that the one who joins himself to a prostitute is one body with her? For He says, “^(L)The two shall become one flesh.” ¹⁷ But the one who joins himself to the Lord is ^(M)one spirit with Him. ^18 (N)Flee sexual immorality. Every other sin that a man commits is outside the body, but the ^[d]sexually immoral man sins against his own body. ¹⁹ Or ^(O)do you not know that ^(P)your body is a ^[e]sanctuary of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from ^[f]God, and that ^(Q)you are not your own? ²⁰ For ^(R)you were bought with a price: therefore glorify God in ^(S)your body.
