I Corinthians 6:12-20
\nFlee Sexual Immorality<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Today, 05\/03\/2023, let us, together in the grace of God, rejoice and reflect on the Word of God in I Corinthians 6:12-20.<\/span><\/p>\n

12 All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

13 Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

14 And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

15 Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

16 What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

17 But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

[King James Version]<\/span><\/p>\n

Suggested Questions:<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

2. What does “I will not be brought under the power of any” mean?<\/span><\/p>\n

3. What does “The body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body” mean?<\/span><\/p>\n

4. What does it mean that, according to verse 15, the physical bodies of the people of God are the members of Christ?<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Why does becoming one body with a prostitute through sexual relations mean becoming one body with the prostitute?<\/span><\/p>\n

6. What does it mean to become one spirit with the Lord?<\/span><\/p>\n

7. Why is sexual immorality a sin against one’s own body?<\/span><\/p>\n

Suggested Applications:<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

2. Have you been facing the temptation of sexual immorality? If so, how do you handle it?<\/span><\/p>\n

Note:<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

[1] (a) Please note that when the term “spirit” is used without a definite article in Greek to refer to God and Christ, it refers to their mindset and should not be capitalized. (b) If it is used to refer to humans, it refers to the human mindset aligning with God’s. (c) When used with a definite article, it refers to the spiritual essence of either God or humans.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

[2] Please note that when the term “holy spirit” is used without a definite article in Greek, it refers to the power and life coming from God, not the person of God the Holy Spirit, and should not be capitalized.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
