1 Corinthians 6:18–20
Your body is a sanctuary of the Spirit; you are not your own
Study it word by word18Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man commits is outside the body, but the one who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body.
19Or do you not know that your body is a sanctuary of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own?
20For you were bought at a price. So glorify God in your body.
In its context
16Or do you not know that the one who joins himself to a prostitute is one body with her? For, it says, The two will become one flesh.
17But the one who joins himself to the Lord is one spirit with him.
