1 Corinthians 6:15

15 nescitis quoniam corpora vestra membra Christi sunt tollens ergo membra Christi faciam membra meretricis absit

1 Corinthians 6:15 Meaning and Commentary

1 Corinthians 6:15

Know ye not that your bodies are the members, of Christ,
&c.] The whole persons of God's elect were chosen in Christ, and given to him, and made one with him, their bodies as well as their souls; and both are redeemed by him, and, in union with him, are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones:

shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members
of an harlot? God forbid.
Signifying, that it is a most absurd, indecent, abominable, and detestable thing, that the bodies of the saints, which are the members of Christ, should be joined in carnal copulation with an harlot.

1 Corinthians 6:15 In-Context

13 esca ventri et venter escis Deus autem et hunc et haec destruet corpus autem non fornicationi sed Domino et Dominus corpori
14 Deus vero et Dominum suscitavit et nos suscitabit per virtutem suam
15 nescitis quoniam corpora vestra membra Christi sunt tollens ergo membra Christi faciam membra meretricis absit
16 an nescitis quoniam qui adheret meretrici unum corpus efficitur erunt enim inquit duo in carne una
17 qui autem adheret Domino unus spiritus est
