The temptations in your life are
no different from what others
experience. And God is faithful.
He will not allow the temptation
to be more than you can stand.
When you are tempted, he will

As the Scriptures say, “A man leaves his
father and mother and is joined to his wife,
and the two are united into one.” This is a
great mystery, but it is an illustration of the
way Christ and the church are one.

“Don’t misunderstand why I
have come. I did not come to
abolish the law of Moses or the
writings of the prophets. No, I
came to accomplish their
purpose. I tell you the truth,
until heaven and earth
disappear, not even the smallest
detail of God’s law will
disappear until its purpose is
achieved. 19 So if you ignore the

“You have heard the command-
ment that says, ‘You must not
commit adultery.’ But I say,
anyone who even looks at a
woman with lust has already
committed adultery with her
in his heart. So if your eye —
even your good eye — causes
you to lust, gouge it out and
throw it away.

It is better for you to lose one
part of your body than for your
whole body to be thrown into
hell. And if your hand — even
your stronger hand — causes
you to sin, cut it off and throw
it away. It is better for you to
lose one part of your body than
for your whole body to be
thrown into hell.

You say, “Food was made for the
stomach, and the stomach for
food.” (This is true, though
someday God will do away with
both of them.) But you can’t say
that our bodies were made for
sexual immorality. They were
made for the Lord, and the Lord
cares about our bodies.
And God will raise us from the
dead by his power, just as he what

Don’t you realize that your bodies
are actually parts of Christ?
Should a man take his body,
which is part of Christ, and join
it to a prostitute? Never! And
don’t you realize that if a man
joins himself to a prostitute, he
becomes one body with her? For
the Scriptures say, “The two are
united into one.”
