You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother's womb. Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous -- and how well I know it. You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion, as I was woven together in the dark of the womb. Psalms 139:13-15
When you realize you’re an original masterpiece…it’s easier to give honor to yourself God wants you to be holy, so you should keep clear of all sexual sin. Then each of you will control your body and live in holiness and honor--not in lustful passion as the pagans do, in their ignorance of God and his ways. 1 Thessalonians 4:3-5
understand the difference between male and female and ________________________ HONOR ONE ANOTHER
Love each other with genuine affection, and take delight in honoring each other. Romans 12:10 Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. Love does not demand its own way. Love is not irritable, and it keeps no record of when it has been wronged. 1 Corinthians 13:4-5
make a commitment to honor God __________________ WITH YOUR BODY
Don't you realize that your bodies are actually parts of Christ? Should a man take his body, which belongs to Christ, and join it to a prostitute? Never! And don't you know that if a man joins himself to a prostitute, he becomes one body with her? For the Scriptures say, "The two are united into one." But the person who is joined to the Lord becomes one spirit
with him. Run away from sexual sin! No other sin so clearly affects the body as this one does. For sexual immorality is a sin against your own body. Or don't you know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself, for God bought you with a high price. So you must honor God with your body. 1 Corinthians 6:15
