Intimacy

Marriage should be honored by all and the marriage bed kept undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers.

For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.

Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a man can commit is outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body.

If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

But among you, as is proper among the saints, there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed.

Husbands, love your wives and do not be harsh with them.

For it is God’s will that you should be holy: You must abstain from sexual immorality; …

Has not the LORD made them one, having a portion of the Spirit? And why one? Because He seeks godly offspring. So guard yourselves in your spirit and do not break faith with the wife of your youth.

Now this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom You have sent.

Put to death, therefore, the components of your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires, and greed, which is idolatry.
