6 ¹² 'I am free to do anything', you say. Yes, but not everything is for my good. No doubt I am free to do anything, but I for one will not let anything make free with me. 6 ¹³ 'Food is for the belly and the belly for food', you say. True; and one day God will put an end to both. But it is not true that the body is for lust; it is for the Lord—and the Lord for the body. 6 ¹⁴ God not only raised our Lord from the dead; he will also raise us by his power. 6 ¹⁵ Do you not know that your bodies are limbs and organs of Christ? Shall I then take from Christ his bodily parts and make them over to a harlot? Never! 6 ^{16 [ Gn.2.24. ]} You surely know that anyone who links himself with a harlot becomes physically one with her (for Scripture says, 'The pair shall become one flesh'); 6 ¹⁷ but he who links himself with Christ is one with him, spiritually. 6 ¹⁸ Shun fornication. Every other sin that a man can commit is outside the body; but the fornicator sins against his own body. 6 ¹⁹ Do you not know that your body is a shrine of the indwelling Holy Spirit, and the Spirit is God's gift to you? You do not belong to yourselves; 6 ²⁰ you were bought at a price. Then honour God in your body.
