1 Corinthians 6:16-20 KJV
[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.
