1 Corinthians 6:16 in Context — 1 Corinthians 6

14 Y Dios que levantó al Señor, también á nosotros nos levantará con su poder.

15 ¿No sabéis que vuestros cuerpos son miembros de Cristo? ¿Quitaré pues los miembros de Cristo, y los haré miembros de una ramera? Lejos sea.

16 ¿O no sabéis que el que se junta con una ramera, es hecho [con ella] un cuerpo? porque serán, dice, los dos en una carne.

17 Empero el que se junta con el Señor, un espíritu es.

18 Huid la fornicación. Cualquier [otro] pecado que el hombre hiciere, fuera del cuerpo es; mas el que fornica, contra su propio cuerpo peca.
