“Your own members are aware that there is sexual sin going on among them. This kind of sin is not even heard of among unbelievers…” (1 Corinthians 5:1 GW) “Stay away from sexual sins. Other sins that people commit don’t affect their bodies the same way sexual sins do. People who sin sexually sin against their own bodies.” (1 Corinthians 6:18 GW) “Surely you must know that people who practice evil cannot possess God’s kingdom realm. Stop being deceived! People who continue to engage in sexual immorality, idolatry, adultery, sexual perversion, homosexuality, fraud, greed, drunkenness, verbal abuse, or extortion—these will not inherit God’s kingdom realm. It’s true that some of you once lived in those lifestyles, BUT now you have been purified from sin, made holy, and given a perfect standing before God—all because of the power of the name of the Lord Jesus, the Messiah, and through our union with the Spirit of our God.” (1 Corinthians 6:9-11 TPT) We have to decide if what we want to do is more important than what God has called us to be! “Here is the reason: I am the Lord your God. You must live holy lives. Be holy because I am holy. …” (Leviticus 11:44, 45, 19:2, 20:7, 26; 1 Peter 1:16 GW)
