Notes

1 Corinthians 6:15–17

Being a Christian means being spiritually connected to Christ in both life and death (see Romans 6:3–11). Because of this, believers' bodies are parts of Christ (see 1 Corinthians 12:12–28; Romans 12:4–5). This spiritual connection (see John 14:20; 17:21–23) means they should not misuse their bodies by joining with a prostitute.

1 Corinthians 6:12–20

Paul provides several reasons why Christians should avoid sexual immorality.
