1 Corintios 6:13

13 Ustedes dicen: «La comida se hizo para el estómago, y el estómago, para la comida». (Eso es cierto, aunque un día Dios acabará con ambas cosas). Pero ustedes no pueden decir que nuestro cuerpo fue creado para la inmoralidad sexual. Fue creado para el Señor, y al Señor le importa nuestro cuerpo.

1 Corintios 6:13 Meaning and Commentary

1 Corinthians 6:13

Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats
All sort of food is appointed and provided to satisfy the appetite and stomach, to fill the belly, and nourish the body; and the belly, and all the parts through which the food passes, are purposely formed by God for the reception and digestion of the food, for its secretion, chylification, and nutrition by it, and the ejection of the excermentitious parts.

But God shall destroy both it and them:
at death, and in the grave, when the one shall be consumed, and the other be needless and useless; and though that part of the body, with the rest, will be raised at the last day, since the body will be raised perfect, consisting of all its parts; yet there will be no appetite, no desire in the stomach after meats, no need of them to fill the belly, and so no use of these parts for such purposes as they now are; for the children of the resurrection will be like the angels, and stand in no need of eating and drinking.

Now the body is not for fornication.
Though meats are appointed for the belly, and the belly for them, and this and the other sort of meats are of an indifferent kind, which may or may not be used; yet this cannot be said of fornication, which the Corinthians, and other Gentiles, took to be equally indifferent as meats; but the apostle shows there is not the same reason for the one as the other. The body was not originally made and appointed for fornication; this is quite besides the will of God, who has provided marriage as a remedy against it:

but for the Lord;
for Jesus Christ, for whom a body was prepared in God's council and covenant; and for the sake of which, and after the exemplar of it in God's eternal mind, the body of man was first formed; and which was also made, as after the image, so for the glory of Christ, to be a member of his, to be redeemed by him, and to serve him in, in righteousness and holiness, and at last to be raised by him, and made like to his glorious body at the great day.

And the Lord for the body;
he was preordained in the council of God, and provided in the covenant of grace, and sent in the fulness of time to be a Redeemer and Saviour of the body, as well as the soul; to be a sanctifier of it, and the raiser of it up from the dead in the resurrection; all which are so many arguments to dissuade from the sin of fornication.

1 Corintios 6:13 In-Context

11 Algunos de ustedes antes eran así; pero fueron limpiados; fueron hechos santos; fueron hechos justos ante Dios al invocar el nombre del Señor Jesucristo y por el Espíritu de nuestro Dios.

12 Evitar el pecado sexual
Ustedes dicen: «Se me permite hacer cualquier cosa», pero no todo les conviene. Y aunque «se me permite hacer cualquier cosa», no debo volverme esclavo de nada.

13 Ustedes dicen: «La comida se hizo para el estómago, y el estómago, para la comida». (Eso es cierto, aunque un día Dios acabará con ambas cosas). Pero ustedes no pueden decir que nuestro cuerpo fue creado para la inmoralidad sexual. Fue creado para el Señor, y al Señor le importa nuestro cuerpo.

14 Y Dios nos levantará de los muertos con su poder, tal como levantó de los muertos a nuestro Señor.

15 ¿No se dan cuenta de que sus cuerpos en realidad son miembros de Cristo? ¿Acaso un hombre debería tomar su cuerpo, que es parte de Cristo, y unirlo a una prostituta? ¡Jamás!
