"Your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you," 1 Corinthians 6:19.
Didn't the Good Book already say this two or three chapters earlier? Yes. Well, sort of. There it was talking about the whole congregation as God's temple which foundation has Christ Jesus who sustains the whole structure, so be careful about the teachings built on it (they will be tested by fire). Here it's talking about a person's using sex inappropriately - don't do it. Our bodies don't belong to us. They belong to Christ. Don't prostitute what belongs to Christ. Our bodies house the Spirit, the Holy One alive within each of us. We know this. Or for sure should know it.
We visit with a brother or sister today in purity respecting the Spirit alive within. And together we glorify God with all our being: heart, soul, mind, strength.
