1. 1 Corinthians 6:16-20
The Message (MSG)

There's a whole other world to sex than insignificant skin on skin. Sex is as much
profound secret as physical truth. As written in Scripture, "The two become one." Since
we need to end up noticeably profoundly one with the Master, we should not seek the
sort of sex that keeps away from responsibility and closeness, abandoning us more
desolate than any time in recent memory—the sort of sex that can never "become one."
There is a sense in which sexual sins are not quite the same as all others. In sexual sin
we damage the hallowedness of our own bodies, these bodies that were made for God-
given and God-demonstrated love, for "becoming one" with another. Or, then again
didn't you understand that your body is a hallowed place, the place of the Holy Spirit?
Don't you see that you can't live anyway you if you don't mind misusing what God paid
such a high cost for? The physical piece of you is not some bit of property having a
place with the profound piece of you. God possesses the entire works. So let individuals
see God in and through your body.
