• 2"Everything is permissible for me"but not
  everything is beneficial. "Everything is
  permissible for me"but I will not be mastered by
  anything. 13"Food for the stomach and the stomach
  for food"but God will destroy them both. The
  body is not meant for sexual immorality, but for
  the Lord, and the Lord for the body. 14By his
  power God raised the Lord from the dead, and he
  will raise us also. 15Do you not know that your
  bodies are members of Christ himself? Shall I
  then take the members of Christ and unite them
  with a prostitute? Never! 16Do you not know that
  he who unites himself with a prostitute is one
  with her in body? For it is said, "The two will
  become one flesh." 17But he who unites himself
  with the Lord is one with him in spirit.  18Flee
  from sexual immorality. All other sins a man
  commits are outside his body, but he who sins
  sexually sins against his own body. 19Do you not
  know that your body is a temple of the Holy
  Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received
  from God? You are not your own 20you were bought
  at a price. Therefore honor God with your body.
