What does the Bible say about fornication?

Answered in 13 sources

The Bible warns that fornicators will not inherit the kingdom of God and emphasizes the sanctity of the body as the temple of the Holy Spirit.

The Bible explicitly states in 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 that fornicators, among others, shall not inherit the kingdom of God. Paul admonishes the Corinthian church by stating that their bodies are members of Christ and temples of the Holy Spirit. He encourages believers to flee fornication, highlighting its serious nature as a sin against one's own body. The sanctity of the body is crucial because it is intended for the Lord's glory, not for immoral acts. This delineation emphasizes the unique union believers share with Christ, and engaging in fornication is seen as a profound violation of that union.
