KJV ORIGINAL
Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body.
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE
Sure, food is meant for your stomach and your stomach is meant for food — but none of that lasts forever. God's going to do away with all of it eventually. But here's the thing about your body: it wasn't made for hooking up with whoever. Your body belongs to God, and God belongs to your body.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
Your body isn't just yours to do whatever with — it's actually God's, and that changes everything.
