1 Corinthians 6:12-7:7
1 Corinthians 6
- 12
- All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.
- 13
- Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body.
- 14
- And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power.
- 15
- Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid.
- 16
- What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh.
- 17
- But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.
- 18
- Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.
- 19
- What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
- 20
- For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.
1 Corinthians 7
- 1
- Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman.
- 2
- Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.
- 3
- Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband.
- 4
- The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife.
- 5
- Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency.
- 6
- But I speak this by permission, and not of commandment.
- 7
- For I would that all men were even as I myself. But every man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner, and another after that.
