1 Corinthians 6:11-13
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
11 And some of you were these things. But you washed-them-away[a], but you were sanctified[b], but you were declared-righteous in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.
Do Not Be Sexually Immoral
12 “All[c] things are lawful[d] to me”, but not all things are beneficial[e]. “All things are lawful to me”, but I will not be mastered by any. 13 Foods[f] are for the stomach and the stomach for foods. But God will do-away-with[g] both this and these. But the body is not for sexual-immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord is for the body.
