What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
Our bodies are temples of the Spirit, a great honor indeed, but one that demands we consecrate ourselves wholly to Him. Since God cannot dwell in what is profane, every defilement is sacrilege; we risk His departure when we pollute the place He has chosen for His abode.

Some Corinthians thought fornication as lawful as eating meat, since their pagan city did not condemn it. But lawfulness is not the measure; fitness is. Consider your profession, your character, your hope, and beware lest you fall into bondage to appetite while claiming freedom in Christ.

Commenting on 1 Corinthians 6:12-20
The Holy Spirit takes possession of the whole person when He regenerates a man, dwelling in body and soul as in His temple. For such a body, consecrated to Him, to be defiled by fornication is abominably shameful, a desecration of the very dwelling place of God.
