What does 1 Corinthians 6:18 mean?
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.
