1 Corinthians 6:18

Greek Text: φεύγετε τὴν πορνείαν. πᾶν ἁμάρτημα ὃ ἐὰν ποιήσῃ ἄνθρωπος ἐκτὸς τοῦ σώματός ἐστιν· ὁ δὲ πορνεύων εἰς τὸ ἴδιον σῶμα ἁμαρτάνει.

(ongoing command) - πορνεύων = Present Active Participle -- "the one who commits fornication" (ongoing action) - εἰς τὸ ἴδιον σῶμα = "against his own body" -- fornication uniquely sins against one's own body - The imperative is emphatic: flee (not resist, not negotiate) -- flee

1 Corinthians 6:19

Greek Text: ἢ οὐκ οἴδατε ὅτι τὸ σῶμα ὑμῶν ναὸς τοῦ ἐν ὑμῖν Ἁγίου Πνεύματός ἐστιν, οὗ ἔχετε ἀπὸ Θεοῦ; καὶ οὐκ ἐστὲ ἑαυτῶν;
