TTN Tyndale Theme Notes:

Holiness and Sexual Purity

The Bible emphasizes the importance of being holy in our sexual relations. God created humanity as sexual beings, and the first command that he gave Adam and Eve was to “be fruitful and multiply” (Gen 1:28). But after sin entered the world, the good that God had created—including sex—became prone to distortion, and the pages of Scripture are filled with examples of sexual sin. God’s people were called to holiness, and the Israelites were given numerous commands that connected sexuality to their holiness (see, e.g., Lev 18:1-30). The sexual purity of God’s people would be seriously tested in the land of Canaan where illicit sexual practice abounded. Over and over again, the Israelites would fail to live up to God’s standards for sexual purity.

The believers to whom Paul wrote likewise found themselves living in environments where illicit sexual activity was commonplace. In contrast to the so-called sexual freedom of the Greco-Roman world, the sexual life of God’s people was to be characterized by faithfulness and purity (1 Thes 4:3-8). Sexual relationships are to be restricted to marriage alone (1 Cor 7:1-9, 36-37).

God has made Christians holy by the work of his Holy Spirit (1 Cor 6:11; 2 Thes 2:13). They are therefore called to live as his own holy people (1 Cor 1:2). God has given them everything they need to live a holy life in this world (2 Pet 1:3-4). As a result, their way of life is to be distinctly different from that of the unholy world around them. Every part of their life is to reflect the transforming work of the Holy Spirit (Rom 12:2).

It is inappropriate for anyone who is united to Christ to have sexual relations with anyone outside of marriage. Such relations violate the Christian’s body, which has become a sanctuary of the living God and therefore belongs to God (1 Cor 6:12-20).

Though homosexual activity was accepted in Greco-Roman culture, it is condemned throughout the Bible. In both the Old Testament and the New Testament, homosexual activity is viewed as a perversion of God’s intentions for men and women (Lev 18:22; 20:13; Rom 1:25-27; 1 Cor 6:9-11; 1 Tim 1:8-11).

Paul strongly warns that those who freely give themselves to illicit sexual relations, whether homosexual or heterosexual, will not inherit the Kingdom of God but will suffer God’s judgment (1 Cor 6:9-10; Gal 5:19-21; Col 3:5-6; see also 2 Pet 2:1–3:13). As with all sin, though, forgiveness and cleansing are available for those who turn to Christ with faith and repentance (Acts 2:38; Rom 3:21-26; see 1 Cor 6:11). In every way, God’s people are to live in holiness and godliness (see 2 Pet 3:11-13), in accord with the desires of their Creator and Judge.

SOTN SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 6:12–20: Believers must live pure lives because they belong to the Lord

In 6:12–20 Paul talked about another problem in the church in Corinth. He had heard that some people in Corinth were behaving immorally. It appears that some of the Christians there were saying that it was all right for them to live as they pleased, because God would save and forgive them. They were saying that it did not matter what they did with their bodies. Paul said that they were wrong. In this section he told them why as believers they should honor God in everything they did.

Paragraph 6:12–17

In this paragraph Paul wrote that it is wrong for Christians to behave immorally, that is, to disobey God’s laws about sex. It seems some believers in Corinth had misunderstood what Paul had taught them. Paul had taught that a believer does not have to obey Jewish rules and rituals in order to become acceptable to God. But the Corinthians thought that since Christians do not have to keep the Jewish law, they could do whatever they wanted. Paul said that immoral behavior is wrong because our bodies belong to the Lord and he sent his Spirit to live in our bodies.

6:14a

By His power God raised the Lord from the dead,

Just as God in/through his power raised the Lord from death,
God worked powerfully to cause the Lord Jesus to live again after he died,

6:14b

and He will raise us also.

so also he will raise us^(incl) from the dead.
and some day God will work/act in power to make us^(incl) alive again also.
and he is strong/powerful/mighty and he will also cause us^(incl) to live again after we die.

6:14a-b

In the Greek this verse connects to the previous verse part with a common conjunction. The BSB and GNT do not translate it, but the RSV translates it as “And.” Introduce this next step in Paul’s argument in a way that is natural in your language.

By His power God raised the Lord from the dead, and He will raise us also: Paul said this in order to show that our physical bodies are important to God. He did not want the Corinthians to think that what they did with their bodies did not matter. God will bring our bodies back to life some day and make them new and glorious, just as he did to Jesus’ body. He will do this by his power, just as he worked powerfully to raise Christ. Other ways to translate this include:

God will raise us from death by the same power that he used when he raised our Lord to life. (CEV)

And God raised the Lord and will also raise us up by his power (ESV)

By His power: The phrase By His power indicates that God worked powerfully. In some languages it may be natural to translate the noun power as an adjective:

God is strong/powerful and he….

The/Our powerful/mighty God

General Comment on 6:14a-b

In some languages it may be natural to reverse the order of 6:14a-b. For example:

^14bAnd God will raise our bodies from the dead by his marvelous power, ^14ajust as he raised our Lord from the dead. (NLT)

^14bAnd God is powerful enough to raise our^(incl) bodies from the dead, ^14ain the same way that he raised our Lord from the dead.

δὲ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὁ Δέ Θεός καί τόν Κύριον ἤγειρεν καί ἡμάς ἐξεγερεῖ διά τῆς δυνάμεως αὐτοῦ)

Here, Now introduces one way in which “the Lord is for the body” ([6:13](../06/13.md)). Human bodies are important and are not for sexual immorality, because God will raise those who believe to new life, and this includes human bodies. If Now would not introduce a further development of the argument in your language, you could use a word or phrase that does function in this way. Alternate translation: [Further,]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

τὸν Κύριον ἤγειρεν, καὶ ἡμᾶς ἐξεγερεῖ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὁ Δέ Θεός καί τόν Κύριον ἤγειρεν καί ἡμάς ἐξεγερεῖ διά τῆς δυνάμεως αὐτοῦ)

Paul uses the words raised and raise up to refer to someone who had previously died coming back to life. If your language does not use these words to describe coming back to life, you can use a comparable idiom or express the idea plainly. Alternate translation: [restored the Lord to life and will also restore us to life]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicitinfo

ἤγειρεν & ἐξεγερεῖ

raised & ˓will_be˒_raising_up

Here, raised and raise up have the same meaning. Paul uses a slightly different word for variety or because he is referring to the future. In your translation, you could use the same word for raised and raise up. Alternate translation: [raised … will … raise]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

διὰ τῆς δυνάμεως αὐτοῦ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὁ Δέ Θεός καί τόν Κύριον ἤγειρεν καί ἡμάς ἐξεγερεῖ διά τῆς δυνάμεως αὐτοῦ)

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind power, you can express the idea by using an adverb such as “powerfully” or an adjective such as “powerful.” Alternate translation: [by working powerfully] or [by his powerful action]
