Member-ship, Reflection on 1 Corinthians 6:12-20

"Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ?" Paul asks the Corinthians (rhetorically, I think). "Therefore, as a member of Christ, don't do any unChrist-like things."

The specific topic here is association with prostitutes, but the advice should not be restricted to this alone. Paul is urging Christians to take seriously, very seriously, their membership in Christ's body.


"Don't you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit?"
