28 So husbands should love their wives as they love their own bodies. The man who loves his wife loves himself.
29 No one ever hated his own body. But he feeds it and takes care of it.
30 In the same way Christ takes care of the church because we are parts of his body.
4 Each of you should know how to control yourself. Honour your body to make it holy.
5 Do not have sex with a person you are not married to. Control your strong feelings. Do not act like the people who do not know God.
18 Run away from every kind of wrong sex! Every other wrong thing which a person does is done outside of his body. But the person who uses sex the wrong way does a wrong thing to his own body.
29 If your right eye makes you do wrong, take it out and throw it away. It is better to lose a part of your body, than for your whole body to be thrown into hell.
30 If your right hand makes you do wrong, cut it off and throw it away. It is better to lose a part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell fire.
2 But wrong sex is always a danger to us. So it is better for each man to have his own wife and each woman to have her own husband.
3 The husband should give his wife what is right. So also, the wife should give her husband what is right.
4 The wife does not have full right over her own body. But her husband has a right to it. In the same way, the husband does not have full right over his own body. But his wife has a right to it.
14 I say again, the body is not all one part, but has many parts.
15 Perhaps the foot says, I am not the hand, so I do not belong to the body. But it is still a part of the body.
16 Perhaps the ear says, I am not the eye, so I do not belong to the body. But it is still a part of the body.
17 If all of the body were an eye, how could we hear? If all the body were an ear, how could we smell?
18 The way it is now, God has put each part in the body in the place he wanted it.
19 If they were all one part, how could it be a body?
20 The way it is now, there are many parts, but it is one body.
25 So, I tell you this. Do not be troubled about what you will eat or drink to keep alive. Do not be troubled about what you will wear on your body. Life itself is worth more than food, and the body is worth more than clothes.
19 Do you not know that your body is the house of the Holy Spirit who lives in you? God gave the Holy Spirit to you. Remember, you do not belong to yourself.
20 But you were bought and paid for. So then, bring glory to God with your bodies.
13 Food is for the body, and the body is for food. But God will bring both to an end. The body is not made to be used for wrong sex behaviour, but for the Lord. And the Lord is for the body.
