1 Corinthians 6:13-16 Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for fornication… I. DESTROYS ALL PRETENCE TO CHRISTIANITY. 1. The body belongs to Christ. 2. Should be employed in His service. 3. To give it to another is to deny Him — and court destruction, which God forbid! II. DEGRADES THE MAN. 1. The harlot is the refuse of humanity. 2. To be joined to her is to be one with her — by a natural law. III. IS IMPOSSIBLE WHILE WE ARE JOINED TO CHRIST — we are one spirit with Him. (J. Lyth, D. D.) Parallel Verses KJV: Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body. |
