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.
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.
9 But if they cannot keep themselves under control, then they should marry. It is better to marry than to burn with desire for sex.
4 Everyone must respect marriage. And the bed must be kept clean. God will punish those who use their bodies for wrong sex.
3 As Gods people, you should not even talk about wrong living, any kind of wrong sex or wanting things you cannot have.
13 Let us live in the right way like people who are in the light. We must not take part in noisy feasting with dancing, or get drunk. We must not do any kind of wrong thing with sex. We must not quarrel or be jealous.
22 They said they were wise people, but they were foolish people.
23 They did not worship God who cannot die. But they worshipped things made to look like a man who does die. They worshipped things made to look like birds and animals and snakes.
24 So God left them to do the things their hearts wanted to do. They did the things that are not right to do with their bodies. They did not respect their own bodies.
25 They would not believe what was true about God. They believed a lie. They worshipped and worked for something that was made by God. They did not worship God-God who made all things. He is the one to worship for ever. Amen. May it be so!
26 That is why God left them to do the wrong things they wanted to do. Their women left the right way for women and did things that are wrong for women to do.
27 Their men also left the right way with women. They wanted to have sex with one another. They did wrong things with other men. Their own bodies were punished because of the wrong things they did.
15 Do you not know that your bodies belong to Christ? Shall I take parts of Christ and join them to a bad woman? No, never!
16 Do you not know that the person who joins himself to a bad woman becomes one person with her? The holy writings say, The two people shall be like one body.
17 But the one who joins himself with the Lord becomes one spirit with him.
28 But I tell you that if a man looks at a woman and he wants her, then he has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
3 This is what God wants. He wants you to live clean lives. He wants you to keep away from wrong sex.
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.
4 Jesus answered, Have you not read this? From the time God first made people, he made them a man and a woman.
5 God said, "A man must leave his father and mother and must stay with his wife. The two of them will be like one person."
6 So they are not two people any more, but they are one person. Man must not separate what God has joined together.
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.
