1 Corinthians 6:20

Identity and self-worthPraise and worshipThe cross and atonementPurity

18 Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a man can commit is outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body.

19 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 glorify God with your body.
