Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a
man commits are outside his body, he who sins

know that your body is a temple of the Holy

from God? You are not your own; you were
bought at a price. Therefore honor God with
your body. 1Corinthians 6:18-20

“The only thing to fear, is fear itself.”
There is no fear in love. But
perfect love drives out fear,
because fear has to do with
punishment. The one who fears is
not made perfect in love.
