New Testament

1 Corinthians 6:8-20 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

8. Instead, you inflict injustice and cheat, and this to brothers.

9. Do you not know that the unjust will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators nor idolaters nor adulterers nor boy prostitutes nor sodomites

10. nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor robbers will inherit the kingdom of God.

11. That is what some of you used to be; but now you have had yourselves washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.

12. “Everything is lawful for me,” but not everything is beneficial. “Everything is lawful for me,” but I will not let myself be dominated by anything.

13. “Food for the stomach and the stomach for food,” but God will do away with both the one and the other. The body, however, is not for immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord is for the body;

14. God raised the Lord and will also raise us by his power.

15. Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take Christ’s members and make them the members of a prostitute? Of course not!

16. [Or] do you not know that anyone who joins himself to a prostitute becomes one body with her? For “the two,” it says, “will become one flesh.”

17. But whoever is joined to the Lord becomes one spirit with him.

18. Avoid immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the immoral person sins against his own body.

19. Do you not know that your body is a temple of the holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own?

20. For you have been purchased at a price. Therefore, glorify God in your body.
