1 Corinthians 6:19-20

John Trapp Complete Commentary - 1 Corinthians 6:20

20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s. Ver. 20. Ye are bought ] Shall I drink the blood of these men? saith David. So, shall I abuse my body, the price of Christ’s blood, abandon it to venery? &c. Glorify God in your body ] The very Manichees that denied God to be the author of the body, fasted on sabbath days, and in fasting exercised a humiliation of the body. Pone in pectore dextram. (Pers.) Let God have heart and... read more

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - 1 Corinthians 6:19

What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?And even your body is not, strictly speaking, your own even this is the temple of the Holy Ghost - Dedicated to him, and inhabited by him. What the apostle calls elsewhere "the temple of God," 1 Corinthians 3:16,17, and "the temple of the living God," 2 Corinthians 6:16, he here styles the temple of the Holy Ghost; plainly showing that the Holy Ghost is the living God. read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 6:12-20

c. Nor can sensualities be excused by the lawfulness of all natural gratification, 1 Corinthians 6:12-20 . A doctrine by which the Corinthian Antinomians, whose views of Christian ethics were yet unshaped, were deceiving themselves, (1 Corinthians 6:9,) is now stated and explained. God has given internal appetites and external objects to gratify them. This is the divine constitution. He has given, for instance, the stomach and the food, (1 Corinthians 6:13;) so he has given the sexual... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 6:19

19. What! A term of indignant surprise at his Corinthians not having realized this in their easiness with the fornicator. Body Your soul is the resident of the body as its home; while the Holy Ghost consecrates it as his temple. Materialistic philosophers of the present day have reproached Christianity with endeavouring, in its effort for exalting the soul, to depreciate the real worth and dignity of the body. Popish monasticism has, indeed, done so. The macerations, and flagellations,... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 6:20

20. With a price Directing their thoughts to the blood of the atonement. Therefore glorify God Honour, and spread the honour, of the holy God by the spirit of purity in your body. So that holiness is not confined to the soul. It must reign in the body and act forth in its actions. read more
