1 Corinthiens 6:18

18 Fuyez la fornication. Quelque péché qu'un homme commette, c'est hors du corps; mais celui qui commet fornication, pèche contre son propre corps.

1 Corinthiens 6:18 Meaning and Commentary

1 Corinthians 6:18

Flee fornication
As that which is hurtful, scandalous, and unbecoming Christians; avoid it, and all the occasions of it, that may lead unto it, and be incentives of it:

every sin that a man doth is without the body
not but that other sins are committed by the body, and by the members of it as instruments; they are generally committed by the abuse of other things that are without, and do not belong to the body; and so do not bring that hurt unto and reproach upon the body, as fornication does:

but he that committeth fornication, sinneth against his own body;
not meaning his wife, which is as his own body; but his proper natural body, which is not only the instrument by which this sin is committed, but the object against which it is committed; and which is defiled and dishonoured by it; and sometimes its strength and health are impaired, and it is filled with nauseous diseases hereby.

1 Corinthiens 6:18 In-Context

16 Ne savez-vous pas que celui qui s'unit à la prostituée, est un même corps avec elle? Car il est dit: Les deux deviendront une seule chair.
17 Mais celui qui s'unit au Seigneur, est un même esprit avec lui.
18 Fuyez la fornication. Quelque péché qu'un homme commette, c'est hors du corps; mais celui qui commet fornication, pèche contre son propre corps.
19 Ne savez-vous pas que votre corps est le temple du Saint-Esprit, qui est en vous, et qui vous a été donné de Dieu, et que vous n'êtes point à vous-mêmes?
20 Car vous avez été achetés à un grand prix; glorifiez donc Dieu en votre corps et en votre esprit, qui appartiennent à Dieu.
