Sexual Sins
The body, however, is not meant for sexual immorality but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.
- 1 Corinthians 6:13
Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a man commits are outside his body, but whoever sins sexually, sins against his own body. Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body.

A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies.

- 2 Peter 2:9
For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are, yet was without sin. Let us therefore approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.
- Hebrews 4:15-16
