1 Corinthians 6:18
1 Corinthians 6:18
Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.
Paul’s warning to “flee from sexual immorality” emphasizes the seriousness of this sin, which has unique consequences for both body and soul. Unlike other sins, sexual immorality affects the body directly, making it a sin that deeply impacts personal purity and integrity. Paul urges believers to actively avoid situations that lead to impurity, recognizing that sexual sin can damage relationships, harm one’s self-respect, and distance individuals from God. This verse encourages a proactive stance against temptation, promoting a life of purity and self-control. For believers, it serves as a reminder that the body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, deserving of respect and honor. This call to flee from immorality challenges believers to protect their bodies and souls, choosing actions that align with God’s will and glorify Him. By embracing purity, they demonstrate their commitment to living a life that honors God’s holiness and reflects His love.
