Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a person commits are outside the body, but whoever sins sexually, sins against their own body
.
1Cor 6:18
It is God’s will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality;
that
each of you should learn to control your own body in a way that is holy and
honourable
,
not in passionate lust like the pagans, who do not know God;
and
that in this matter no one should wrong or take advantage of a brother or
sister.
1Thess 4:3-6Slide8
So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don’t fall! No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.1Cor 10:12,13

“Haven’t you read,’ he replied, ‘that at the beginning the Creator “made them male and female,” and said, “For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh”? So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.”Matt 19:4-6Slide10
‘Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery, and the man who marries a divorced woman commits adultery
.’
Luke 16:18Slide11
Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to
make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and
to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. In
this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.
After
all, no one ever hated their own body, but they feed and care for their body, just as Christ does the church –
for
we are members of his body.
… Each
one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband
.
Eph
5:25-33
