I think it is important to look at the context of the scripture in I Cor 6:9-20.  In verse 9-10 Paul first taught that the unrighteous people who committed these specific sins (fornicators, idolaters, adulterers, the effeminate, etc) would not inherit the kingdom of heaven.  In verse 11-12 he points out that we are sanctified now and should not be controlled by these sins.  In verse 13, Paul points out that what we put in our stomaches is temperol and both will be done away with eventually.  What matters (v. 13f) is whether I use my body for immorality, a gross sin, because it involves the physical body.  That physical body should never be used to commit fornication.  In verse 18 Paul says to flee immorality which is a sin against your own body.  Verse 19 points out that our bodies are the temple of the Lord, owned by the Lord, and should glorify the Lord by not falling to fornication.  it.  "Immorality" in this context is what defiles the personal body, the temple of the Holy Spirit and we cannot glorify God (see the context) by committing fornication.  -anonymous

The greatest strength any human being can have is to recognize his or her own weaknesses. When you identify your weaknesses, you can begin to remedy them.

 

"Life is more than food."
(Luke 12:23)


Do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's. 1 Cor. 6:19-20

I myself should be disqualified" (1 Cor. 9:27).
