Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a man commits are outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body. Do 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; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body.

1 Corinthians 6:18-20

Word of Life

Dear beloved, Grace and peace be with you. It is a beautiful thing to see the depth of the love and understanding you share with your wife. In the sacred union of marriage, forgiveness, grace, and mutual respect are paramount. Our Lord Jesus demonstrated the ultimate act of love and forgiveness, and in marriage, we are called to mirror that love with one another. In the book of Ephesians, it is written, "Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you" (Ephesians 4:32, NIV). Your journey together, including the past, is a testament to the power of forgiveness and grace. The Apostle Paul also reminds us, "Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins" (1 Peter 4:8, NIV). Your love and mutual understanding are the foundations upon which your marriage can thrive, regardless of past experiences. Remember, the past does not define you; it is the love and commitment you share today that matters. Continue to nurture and cherish one another, drawing strength from the boundless love of Christ. May your hearts remain entwined in His love and may your marriage be a beacon of grace and compassion. Blessings upon you both, [Your Friend]

Bible Commentary

1 Corinthians 6:18-20
Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a man commits are outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body. Do 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; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body.

In 1 Corinthians 6:18-20, Paul urges believers to flee from sexual immorality, emphasizing that such sins are against one's own body. He reminds them that their bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, bought at a price, and thus should honor God. This passage underscores the sanctity of the body and the importance of living in a way that reflects God's ownership and presence within us.

God our Father, thank You for Your guidance and wisdom. Help us to honor You with our bodies, recognizing that they are temples of the Holy Spirit.

Guide us in our discussions and decisions, so that we may live in a way that glorifies You. In Jesus Christ's name we pray. Amen.
