CHASTITY


Taken from the HOLY BIBLE: NEW INTERNATIONAL VERSION (C) 1978 by the New 
York Bible Society, used by permission of Zondervan Bible Publishers.

EXO 20:14  "You shall not commit adultery.

JOB 31:1  "I made a covenant with my eyes not to look lustfully at a girl.

PRO 2:16  It will save you also from the adulteress, from the wayward wife 
with her seductive words,

5:16  Should your springs overflow in the streets, your streams of water in 
the public squares?

17  Let them be yours alone, never to be shared with strangers.

18  May your fountain be blessed, and may you rejoice in the wife of your 
youth.

19  A loving doe, a graceful deer--may her breasts satisfy you always, may 
you ever be captivated by her love.

20  Why be captivated, my son, by an adulteress? Why embrace the bosom of 
another man's wife?

6:24  keeping you from the immoral woman, from the smooth tongue of the 
wayward wife.

25  Do not lust in your heart after her beauty or let her captivate you 
with her eyes,

15:5  A fool spurns his father's discipline, but whoever heeds correction 
shows prudence.

31:3  do not spend your strength on women, your vigor on those who ruin 
kings.

MAT 5:28  But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has 
already committed adultery with her in his heart.

ACT 15:20  Instead we should write to them, telling them to abstain from 
food polluted by idols, from sexual immorality, from the meat of strangled 
animals and from blood.

1CO 6:13  "Food for the stomach and the stomach for food"--but God will 
destroy them both. The body is not meant for sexual immorality, but for the 
Lord, and the Lord for the body.

15  Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ himself? Shall I 
then take the members of Christ and unite them with a prostitute? Never!

16  Do you not know that he who unites himself with a prostitute is one 
with her in body? For it is said, "The two will become one flesh."

17  But he who unites himself with the Lord is one with him in spirit.

18  Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a man commits are outside 
his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body.

19  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;

7:1  Now for the matters you wrote about: It is good for a man not to 
marry.

2  But since there is so much immorality, each man should have his own 
wife, and each woman her own husband.

7  I wish that all men were as I am. But each man has his own gift from 
God; one has this gift, another has that.

8  Now to the unmarried and the widows I say: It is good for them to stay 
unmarried, as I am.

9  But if they cannot control themselves, they should marry, for it is 
better to marry than to burn with passion.

25  Now about virgins: I have no command from the Lord, but I give a 
judgment as one who by the Lord's mercy is trustworthy.

26  Because of the present crisis, I think that it is good for you to 
remain as you are.

36  If anyone thinks he is acting improperly toward the virgin he is 
engaged to, and if she is getting along in years and he feels he ought to 
marry, he should do as he wants. He is not sinning. They should get 
married.

37  But the man who has settled the matter in his own mind, who is under no 
compulsion but has control over his own will, and who has made up his mind 
not to marry the virgin--this man also does the right thing.

EPH 5:3  But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, 
or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for 
God's holy people.

COL 3:5  Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: 
sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is 
idolatry.

1TH 4:3  It is God's will that you should be sanctified: that you should 
avoid sexual immorality;

7  For God did not call us to be impure, but to live a holy life.

REV 14:4  These are those who did not defile themselves with women, for 
they kept themselves pure. They follow the Lamb wherever he goes. They were 
purchased from among men and offered as firstfruits to God and the Lamb.
