(9)Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor sodomites, (10)nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. (11)Yet such were some of you: but ye have been washed, but ye have been sanctified, but ye have been justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the spirit of our God. (12)All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient; all things are lawful for me, but I will not put myself under the power of any. (13)Meats are for the belly, and the belly for meats; but God will destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for whoredom, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body. (14)And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will raise us up by his own power. (15)Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? Taking then the members of Christ, shall I make them members of an harlot? God forbid. (16)Do you not know that he that is joined to an harlot is one body with her? For they two, saith he, shall be "one flesh[92]." (17)But he that is joined to the Lord is one spirit. (18)Flee whoredom. Every other sin which a man may commit is without the body; but he who committeth whoredom sinneth against his own body. (19)Do ye not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost, which is in you, which ye have from God, and ye are not your own? (20)For ye have been bought with a price: glorify then God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's. CHAP. VII. NOW with regard to those things concerning which ye have written unto me, it were good for a man not to touch a woman. (2)But because of the whoredoms, let every man have his own wife, and every wife her own husband. (3)Let the husband render to the wife due benevolence, and in like manner also the wife to the husband. (4)The wife hath not power over her own body, but the husband: in like manner also the husband has not power over his own body, but the wife. (5)Defraud not one another, except it may be by consent occasionally, that ye may have more leisure for fasting and prayer; and come together again, lest Satan tempt you through your incontinence. (6)But in this I speak my opinion only, not authoritatively. (7)For I would that all men were even as myself: but every man hath his peculiar gift from God, one of this sort, and another of that. (8)I say then to the unmarried and the widows, that it is becoming them if they abide as I am. (9)But if they have not the gift of continence, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn. (10)But to the married not I command, but the Lord, That the wife be not separated from the husband: (11)and even if she should be separated, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.
