"Avoid immorality. Any other sin man commits does not affect his body, but the man who is guilty of sexual immorality sins against his own body. Don't you know that your body is the temple of the Holy spirit, who lives in you and who was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourselves but to God; He bought you for a price. So use your bodies for God's glory."
I Corinthians 6:18-20
The Definition of immoral is: "not in conformity with accepted principles of right and wrong behavior, wicked, not in conformity with the accepted standards of proper sexual behavior; unchaste; lewd.:"
Unchaste means: lack of chastity.
Chastity means: abstention from unlawful sexual behavior, abstention from sexual intercourse, purity in conduct and intention.
Abstention is the act or practice of abstaining.
Abstain is to refrain deliberately and often with an effort of self-denial from an action or practice.
Abstinence is a habitual abstaining from something such as: foods, alcohol and immoral conduct. It's an abstention from sexual intercourse.
Why would you not respect yourself by giving your body to someone other than your husband or wife? Why would you not love the One who created you enough to abstain from sexual sin? You not only hurt yourself in the long run but your partners as well as your God.
