1 Corinthians 6:19

Temple. Gr. naos (see on ch. 3:16). This is the fifth argument against immorality (cf. on ch. 6:13, 14, 15, 18). Since the bodies of the believers are sacred shrines of the Holy Spirit, they must not be polluted by this vice. Because they are the members of Christ (v. 15) and temples of the Holy Spirit, which is given to us by God (see John 14:16, 17), every sin that is committed against our bodies is a sin against our Maker and against the Holy Spirit.

Not your own. This is the sixth argument against the vice of fornication (cf. on vs. 13, 14, 15, 18, 19). Man does not belong to himself; he has no right to use his powers according to the wishes and prompting of his unconverted body. He is the property of God by creation and by redemption. Man is bound to live mentally, physically, and spiritually as God directs, to the glory of His name, and not to the gratification of fleshly desires. The converted man is, indeed, a willing slave of Jesus Christ (see on Rom. 1:1; 6:18), who lives only to please his Master.
