1 Corinthians 6:14

Raised up the Lord. See Matt. 28:1-6.

Will also raise up. This verse presents the second argument against impurity (see on v. 13). By faith believers are united with Christ. God raised Him from the dead with a glorified body. The resurrected saints will have glorified bodies like His (see Phil. 3:21). Seeing that (1) the redeemed will be raised up by the power of God, (2) their bodies will be spotlessly pure and holy, like Christ’s glorified body, (3) and this will be brought about by the power of God, it is not right that the body should be given over to purposes of moral pollution and gratification of lust. Indulgence in licentiousness is altogether unworthy of the saints, for they belong to the pure and holy Saviour, who has been raised from the dead and who has raised us up to walk in newness of life (see Rom. 6:1-13). It is similarly unworthy in view of the glorious truth that the bodies of the believers will be raised up to perfect and eternal purity. A full realization of their union with the spotlessly pure resurrected Saviour, and their own hope of immortal purity, should do more than anything else to keep them from the degrading sin of licentiousness in all its forms.
