"...The
body is not for immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord is for the
body."
1
Corinthians 6:13
"Flee
immorality. Every other sin that a man commits is outside the body, but the
immoral man sins against his own body. Or do you not know that your body is a
temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God and that you
are not your own? For you have been bought with a price: therefore glorify God
in your body."
1 Corinthians 6:18-20
"Now
to the unmarried and the widows I say: It is good for them to stay unmarried,
as I am. But if they cannot control themselves, they should marry, for it is
better to marry than to burn with passion."
1 Corinthians 7:8-9
(NIV)
"But
the man who has settled the matter in his own mind, who is under no compulsion
but has control over his own will, and who has made up his mind not to marry
the virgin -- this man also does the right thing."
1 Corinthians 7:37
(NIV)
"No
temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man; and God is faithful,
who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the
temptation will provide the way of escape also, so that you will be able to
endure it."
1 Corinthians 10:13
"These
are the ones who have not been defiled with women, for they have kept
themselves chaste. These are the ones who follow the Lamb wherever He goes.
These have been purchased from among men as first fruits to God and to the
Lamb."
Revelation 14:4
"Marriage
is to be held in honor among all, and the marriage bed is to be undefiled; for
fornicators and adulterers God will judge."
Hebrews 13:4
"For
we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One
who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin. Therefore let us
draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy
and find grace to help in time of need."
Hebrews 4:15-16
"For
since He Himself was tempted in that which He has suffered, He is able to come
to the aid of those who are tempted."

"Do
you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take away the
members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? May it never be!"

"Blessed
is a man who perseveres under trial; for once he has been approved, he will
receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love
Him."

the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from temptation, and to keep the
unrighteous under punishment for the day of judgment."
