People's Commentary (NT)
1 Corinthians 6:18
Flee fornication. The sin must be fled. The way to avoid it is to
avoid temptation. We must conquer by running away. Thus it was that
Joseph prevailed.
Every sin that a man doeth is without the body. The temptations
come from without and assail the man through the sense. This is the
rule in the case of sin.
But he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.
It is not said of fornication that it is not stimulated without, or
that it, alone of sins, assails the body, but that it is peculiarly a
sin against the body. It defiles a body which is designed to be a
member of Christ, and a temple of the Holy Spirit; separates it from
the union with Christ, and unites it with a harlot. The grievousness of
the sin is in the desecration to such an unholy purpose of a body which
has become a member of Christ, a part of the temple of God.
