| ...The body is not for
immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord is for the body.
1 Corinthians 6:13
Flee immorality. Every other sin
that a man commits is outside the body, but the immoral man
sins against his own body. Or do you not know that your body
is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have
from God and that you are not your own? For you have been bought
with a price: therefore glorify God in your body.

about which you wrote, it is good for a man not to marry.
1 Corinthians 7:1 (NIV)

the widows I say: It is good for them to stay unmarried,
as I am. But if they cannot control themselves, they should
marry, for it is better to marry than to burn with passion.
1 Corinthians 7:8-9 (NIV)
But the man who has settled
the matter in his own mind, who is under no compulsion
but has control over his own will, and who has made up
his mind not to marry the virgin -- this man also does
the right thing.
1 Corinthians 7:37 (NIV)
No temptation has overtaken
you but such as is common to man; and God is faithful,
who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are
able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape
also, so that you will be able to endure it.
1 Corinthians 10:13
These are the ones who have
not been defiled with women, for they have kept themselves
chaste. These are the ones who follow the Lamb wherever
He goes. These have been purchased from among men as first
fruits to God and to the Lamb.

fornicators and adulterers God will judge.

For we do not have a high priest who

been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin.
Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne
of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to
help in time of need.

Christ and make them members of a prostitute? May it never
be!

For her worth is far above jewels.

love Him.
