1 Corinthians 6:19-20, KJV
[19] What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? [20] For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.
God’s will for us is our sanctification, as stated in 1 Thessalonians 4:3-4. This involves abstaining from immorality and honoring God with our bodies. 1 Peter 1:15-16 calls us to be holy in all our conduct, reflecting God’s holiness.
Recognising that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19-20), we are to glorify God in how we live, allowing His Spirit to transform us daily.
