9 ^pOr do you not know that the unrighteous¹ will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the ^qsexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality,² 10 nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And ^rsuch were some of you. But you were ^swashed, you were ^tsanctified, you were ^ujustified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.

12 ^v“All things are lawful for me,” but not all things are helpful. “All things are lawful for me,” but I will not be dominated by anything. 13 ^w“Food is meant for the stomach and the stomach for food”—and God will destroy both one and the other. The body is not meant for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body. 14 And ^xGod raised the Lord and will also ^yraise us up ^zby his power. 15 Do you not know that your bodies are ^amembers of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? Never! 16 Or do you not know that he who is joined³ to a prostitute becomes one body with her? For, as it is written, ^b“The two will become one flesh.” 17 But he who is joined to the Lord becomes ^cone spirit with him. 18 Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin⁴ a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body. 19 Or do you not know that ^dyour body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? ^eYou are not your own, 20 for you were ^fbought with a price. So ^gglorify God in your body.
