Members of Christ

vvv vvv Do you not know that [the] wicked vvv will not inherit [the] kingdom of God? {Do} not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who submit to or perform homosexual acts, 10 nor the covetous, nor thieves,[fn] nor drunkards, nor verbal abusers, nor swindlers, will inherit [the] kingdom of God. 11 And that [is what] some [of] you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified, in the name of the Lord Jesus[fn] and by the Spirit of our God.

12 

“Everything is permissible for me,” but not everything is beneficial.“Everything is permissible for me,” but I vvv will not be mastered by anything. 13 Food for the stomach and the stomach for food,” but God will destroy them both. The body [is] not [intended] for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body. 14 By His power God raised the Lord {from the dead}, and He will raise us [also]

15 

vvv Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? vvv Shall I then take the members of Christ and unite [them] with a prostitute? vvv Never! 16 vvv Don’t you know[fn] that he who unites himself with a prostitute is one [with her] in body? For it is said,“The two will become one flesh.”[fn] 17 But he who unites himself with the Lord is one [with Him] [in] spirit.
