Do
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!
(1 Corinthians 6:15)
Do
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." But he who
unites himself with the Lord is one with
the spirit. (1 Corinthians 6:16-17)
Do
not degrade your daughter by making her
a prostitute, or the land will turn to
prostitution and be filled with
wickedness. (Leviticus 19:29)
Do
not lust in your heart after her beauty
or let her captivate you with her eyes,
for the prostitute reduces you to a loaf
of bread, and the adulteress preys upon
your very life. (Proverbs 6:25-26)
Do
not let your heart turn to her ways or
stray into her paths. Many are the
victims she has brought down; her slain
are a mighty throng. (Proverbs 7:25-26)
Her
house is a highway to the grave, leading
down to the chambers of death. (Proverbs
7:27)
With
persuasive words she led him astray; she
seduced him with her smooth talk.
(Proverbs 7:21)
All
at once he followed her like an ox going
to the slaughter, like a deer stepping
into a noose till an arrow pierces his
liver, like a bird darting into a snare,
little knowing it will cost him his
life. (Proverbs 7:22-23)
For
a prostitute is a deep pit and a wayward
wife is a narrow well. (Proverbs 23:27)
A
man who loves wisdom brings joy to his
father, but a companion of prostitutes
squanders his wealth. (Proverbs 29:3)
Has
no one condemned you? "No one,
sir," she said. Then neither do I
condemn you, Jesus declared, Go now and
leave your life of sin.
(John
8:10-11)
