1 Corinthians 6:15-17

Judge Righteously, Flee Sexual Immorality, and Glorify God in Your Body

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

15Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and unite them with a prostitute? Never!

16Or don’t you 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.
