as Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities about them, in a manner like unto them committing fornication, and going after other flesh, present an example receiving the vengeance of eternal fire.

But these blaspheme so many things as they know not: and so many things as they understand naturally, like irrational animals, in these they are corrupted. Woe unto them! because they have gone off in the way of Cain, and in the delusion of Balaam they have been seduced by reward, and they perished in the gainsaying of Korah. These are rocks in your love-feasts, feasting along with you without fear shepherdizing themselves, clouds without water, driven away by the winds; withered trees, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots; wild waves of the sea, foaming out their own disgraces; wandering stars, for which the blackness of darkness has been reserved forever. And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied against these, saying, Behold, the Lord came with his myriads of saints, to execute judgment against all, and to convict all the ungodly of them for all the works of their ungodliness which they have impiously done, and for all their hard speeches which they have spoken against him, being ungodly sinners. These are querulous grumblers, going forth according to their own lusts; and their mouth speaking swelling words, admiring persons for the sake of gain.

But we know that the law is good, if any one may use it lawfully; knowing this, that the law is not made for the righteous, but for the unrighteous and disorderly, for the ungodly and for sinners, for the unholy and the profane, for patricides, matricides and homocides, for fornicators, for Sodomites, for kidnapers, for liars, for perjurers, and if any thing else is opposed to healthy teaching;

because, knowing God, they did not glorify Him as God, neither were they thankful; but they became vain in their reasonings, and their foolish heart was darkened. Saying that they were wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the invisible God into the similitude of the likeness of corruptible man, and of birds, and of quadrupeds, and of creeping things. read more.
Therefore God gave them up, in the lusts of their hearts, to impurity, to dishonor their bodies among themselves: who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed for evermore: amen. On account of this God gave them up to the lusts of dishonor: for indeed their women changed the natural use to that which is against nature: likewise also the men, having left the natural use of the woman, burned in their desire towards one another; men with men working out disgrace, and receiving the reward of their error among themselves which it behooved. And as they did not approve to have God in their knowledge, God gave them up to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are inappropriate; being filled with all injustice, wickedness, vice, covetousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceitfulness, evil affection; whisperers, calumniators, haters of God, insulters, proud, arrogant, practitioners of evils, disobedient to parents, covenant-breakers, incontinent, without natural affections, unmerciful, who, knowing the rightfulness of God, that those who do such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but they even delight in those who are doing them.

Fly from fornication. Every sin which a man may commit is outside of his body; the one committing fornication sins against his own body.

Meats for the stomach, and the stomach for meats: but God will destroy both this and them. The body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body: but God both raised up the Lord, and will raise you up through his power. Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? then taking the members of Christ, shall I make them the members of a harlot? it could not be so. read more.
Do you not know that he who is joined to the harlot is one body? for it says, They two shall be one flesh. But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit. Fly from fornication. Every sin which a man may commit is outside of his body; the one committing fornication sins against his own body. Do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? and you are not your own; for you have been bought with a price: indeed glorify God in your body.

But concerning those things about which you wrote to me: That it is good for a man not to receive a wife: but on account of fornication, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband. Let the husband give to the wife that which is due, and likewise the wife also to the husband. read more.
The wife has not the authority over her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband has not the authority over his own body, but the wife. Do not defraud one another, unless it may be with consent for a time, that you may give attention to prayer, and again come together, in order that Satan may not tempt you on account of your incontinency. But I speak this according to knowledge, not according to commandment. But I wish that all men were even as myself; but each one has his own gift from God, some one, and some another. But I speak to the unmarried and the widows, that it is good for them that they may remain even as I: but if they do not contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.
