Yet the body is not for immorality, but for the lord, and the lord is for the body For this is the will of god, your sanctification That is, that you abstain from sexual immorality; That you abstain from sexual immorality That each one of you know how to control his own body in holiness and honor, not in the passion of lust like the gentiles who do not know god;. Understanding sexual immorality we live in a world where the idea of sexual immorality can often be misunderstood
