For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.
You were purchased at a cost, and not a cheap one. So honor God with your body and your spirit, because they both belong to him.
You're not your own, you were bought at full price, so live like it matters.

Paul wrote his letter to the Corinthian church to correct various sins and misunderstandings among believers, urging them to live differently from the surrounding society. He emphasized that their bodies were no longer their own because they had been redeemed by Christ's sacrifice on the cross.
