¹³ Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall bring to nought both it and them. But the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body:

¹⁹ Or know ye not that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which ye have from God? and ye are not your own;

¹⁵ Know ye not that your bodies are members of Christ? shall I then take away the members of Christ, and make them members of a harlot? God forbid.

¹⁷ Perceive ye not, that whatsoever goeth into the mouth passeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?

³ For this is the will of God, `even' your sanctification, that ye abstain from fornication;

⁴ that each one of you know how to possess himself of his own vessel in sanctification and honor,

⁵ not in the passion of lust, even as the Gentiles who know not God;

⁶ that no man transgress, and wrong his brother in the matter: because the Lord is an avenger in all these things, as also we forewarned you and testified.

⁷ For God called us not for uncleanness, but in sanctification.

²³ For the husband is the head of the wife, and Christ also is the head of the church, `being' himself the saviour of the body.

¹⁶ Know ye not that ye are a temple of God, and `that' the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

¹² Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey the lusts thereof:

²² (all which things are to perish with the using), after the precepts and doctrines of men?

²³ Which things have indeed a show of wisdom in will-worship, and humility, and severity to the body; `but are' not of any value against the indulgence of the flesh.

² For I am jealous over you with a godly jealousy: for I espoused you to one husband, that I might present you `as' a pure virgin to Christ.

¹⁵ and he died for all, that they that live should no longer live unto themselves, but unto him who for their sakes died and rose again.

³ and did all eat the same spiritual food;

⁴ and did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of a spiritual rock that followed them: and the rock was Christ.

⁵ Howbeit with most of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness.

¹⁷ for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.

⁷ For none of us liveth to himself, and none dieth to himself.

⁸ For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; or whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's.

⁹ For to this end Christ died and lived `again', that he might be Lord of both the dead and the living.

¹ I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, `which is' your spiritual service.

⁴ Wherefore, my brethren, ye also were made dead to the law through the body of Christ; that ye should be joined to another, `even' to him who was raised from the dead, that we might bring forth fruit unto God.

⁴⁹ Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died.

²⁷ Work not for the food which perisheth, but for the food which abideth unto eternal life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him the Father, even God, hath sealed.

¹⁹ because it goeth not into his heart, but into his belly, and goeth out into the draught? `This he said', making all meats clean.

²⁰ these are the things which defile the man; but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not the man.
