1 Corinthians 6:15
“Don’t you know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them members of a prostitute? May it never be!”
What does 1 Corinthians 6:15 mean?
Paul is reminding the Corinthian church that when you become a Christian, your body isn't just your own anymore—it's connected to Christ and part of his body. He's using strong language here because some people in the church were visiting prostitutes, and he wants them to understand how serious this is: you can't join yourself to someone in that way while also being joined to Christ. It's not about shame or judgment, but about the reality that our choices with our bodies matter because we belong to someone now. His urgent tone (that "May it never be!") shows how much he cares about protecting their relationship with Christ and helping them see their own worth.
