By Steve Myers in Ambassador Bible College, Deaf & Hard of Hearing - November 9, 2023 - In this class we will discuss 1 Corinthians 6:19 thru 1 Corinthians 7:9 and examine the following: Paul emphasizes the sanctity of believers' bodies as temples of the Holy Spirit. He advises against sexual immorality, encouraging marital fidelity. Paul acknowledges the benefits of celibacy for undivided devotion to God but affirms the legitimacy of marriage to avoid sexual sin. The passage underscores the importance of honoring God with one's body and making choices that align with spiritual well-being, whether in marriage or celibacy, while emphasizing the freedom individuals have in Christ concerning their marital status.
