Léctio Epístolæ primæ beáti Pauli apóstoli ad Corínthios (6,13c-15a.17-20)
Fratres: Corpus non fornicatióni sed Dómino, et Dóminus córpori; Deus vero et Dóminum suscitávit et nos suscitábit per virtútem suam. Nescítis quóniam córpora vestra membra Christi sunt? Qui autem adhǽret Dómino, unus Spíritus est. Fúgite fornicatiónem! Omne peccátum, quodcúmque fécerit homo, extra corpus est; qui autem fornicátur, in corpus suum peccat. An nescítis quóniam corpus vestrum templum est Spíritus Sancti, qui in vobis est, quem habétis a Deo, et non estis vestri? Empti enim estis prétio! Glorificáte ergo Deum in córpore vestro.
Brethren: The body is not meant for sexual immorality (fornication), but for the Lord, and the Lord is for the body. Now God has raised the Lord, and He shall also raise us by His power. Do thou not know that thy bodies are members of Christ? But whoever is united with the Lord is one spirit with Him. Flee from sexual immorality (fornication). Whatever sin a person commits, it is outside the body; but the one who commits sexual immorality (fornication) sins against his own body. Do thou not know that thy bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in thee, whom thou hast received from God, and that thou no longer belong to yourselves? For thee were bought at a price. Glorify God and carry Him in thy bodies.
