What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh.
Don't you get it? When you hook up with someone, you're not just connecting physically, you're becoming one with them. That's what 'two become one' actually means.

📚 Historical Context
In the first century, Corinth was a prosperous but morally corrupt city in ancient Greece, known for its pagan temples that often involved ritual prostitution and widespread sexual immorality. Paul wrote his letter to the Corinthian church to address various issues of sin and division, emphasizing that sexual union creates a deep spiritual and physical bond, as referenced from the creation account in Genesis 2:24. This teaching served as a call for believers to live differently from the surrounding culture, honoring their bodies as temples of the Holy Spirit.
