Sexual Immorality
12“Everything is permissible for me”–but not everything is beneficial. “Everything is permissible for me”–but I will not be mastered by anything.13“Food for the stomach and the stomach for food”–but God will destroy them both. The body is not meant for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.14By his power God raised the Lord from the dead, and he will raise us also.15Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ himself? Shall I then take the members of Christ and unite them with a prostitute? Never!
16Do you not know that he who unites himself with a prostitute is one with her in body? For it is said, “The two will become one flesh.”Gen. 2:24
17But he who unites himself with the Lord is one with him in spirit.

18Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a man commits are outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body.19Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own;20you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body.

God has ordered creation in such way that to live outside of it is sin. The same statement which is used to describe the beauty of marital intimacy (Genesis 2:24) is used to denote the shame of adultery.

This is a good explanation of the sanctity of sex. This act is meant for a husband and wife to join their bodies together as one. If we think about who is worthy to be a husband or wife, we would never think of a prostitue, so why would we join ourselves to one.
