The
body is not meant for sexual immorality,
but for the Lord, and the Lord for the
body. (1 Corinthians 6:13)
Flee
from sexual immorality. All other sins a
man commits are outside his body, but he
who sins sexually sins against his own
body. (1 Corinthians 6:18)
Do
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; you were bought at a price.
Therefore honor God with your body. (1
Corinthians 6:19-20)
We
should not commit sexual immorality. (1
Corinthians 10:8)
For
God did not call us to be impure, but to
live a holy life. (1 Thessalonians 4:7)
You
are to abstain from ... sexual
immorality. (Acts 15:29)
Put
to death, therefore, whatever belongs to
your earthly nature: sexual immorality,
impurity, lust, evil desires and greed,
which is idolatry. (Colossians 3:5)
But
the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile,
the murderers, the sexually immoral,
those who practice magic arts, the
idolaters and all liars - their place
will be in the fiery lake of burning
sulfur. This is the second death.
(Revelation 21:8)
For
of this you can be sure: No immoral,
impure or greedy person - such a man is
an idolater - has any inheritance in the
kingdom of Christ and of God. (Ephesians
5:5)
But
among you there must not be even a hint
of sexual immorality, or of any kind of
impurity, or of greed, because these are
improper for God's holy people.
(Ephesians 5:3)
The
acts of the sinful nature are obvious:
sexual immorality, impurity and
debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft;
hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage,
selfish ambition, dissensions, factions
and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the
like. (Galatians 5:19-21)
I
warn you, as I did before, that those
who live like this will not inherit the
kingdom of God. (Galatians 5:21)
