Third Millennium Bible TMB
New International Version NIV
12 "All things are lawful unto me," but all things are notŒexpedient. "All things are lawful for me," but I will not be brought under the power of any.
12
“I have the right to do anything,” you say—but not everything is beneficial. “I have the right to do anything”—but I will not be mastered by anything.
13 "Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats," but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body.
13
You say, “Food for the stomach and the stomach for food, and God will destroy them both.” The body, however, is not meant for sexual immorality but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.
14 And God hath both raised up the Lord and will also raise up us by His own power.
14
By his power God raised the Lord from the dead, and he will raise us also.
15 Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them the members of a harlot? God forbid!
15
Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ himself? Shall I then take the members of Christ and unite them with a prostitute? Never!
16 What? Know ye not that he who is joined to a harlot is one body with her? "For two," saith He, "shall be one flesh."
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.”
17 But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.
17
But whoever is united with the Lord is one with him in spirit.
18 Flee fornication. Every other sin which a man doeth is outside the body, but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.
18
Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a person commits are outside the body, but whoever sins sexually, sins against their own body.
19 What? Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you and which ye have from God, and that ye are not your own?
19
Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own;
20 For ye are bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's.
20
you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.
