1 Corinthians 6:16 in Context — 1 Corinthians 6

14 E Deus ressuscitou ao Senhor, e também por seu poder nos ressuscitará.

15 Não sabeis vós que vossos corpos são membros de Cristo? Tomarei pois os membros de Cristo, e os farei membros de uma prostituta? De maneira nenhuma!

16 Ou não sabeis que o que se junta [sexualmente] com uma prostituta se torna um [só] corpo [com ela] ? Porque [a Escritura] diz: Os dois serão uma [só] carne.

17 Mas o que se junta com o Senhor, [com ele] se torna um [só] espírito.

18 Fugi do pecado sexual. Todo pecado que o ser humano comete é fora do corpo; mas o que pratica pecado sexual, peca contra seu próprio corpo.
