New International Version (NIV) |
|
16 There's more to sex than mere skin on skin. Sex is as much spiritual mystery as physical fact. As written in Scripture, "The two become one."
|
16 Do you not know that he who unites himself with a prostitute is one with her in body? For it is said, "The two will become one flesh."
