Disciples’ Literal New Testament
Do Not Be Sexually Immoral
12 “All[a] things are lawful[b] to me”, but not all things are beneficial[c]. “All things are lawful to me”, but I will not be mastered by any. 13 Foods[d] are for the stomach and the stomach for foods. But God will do-away-with[e] both this and these. But the body is not for sexual-immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord is for the body. 14 And God both raised the Lord and will raise us up by His power.

Sexual Immorality
12 “I have the right to do anything,” you say—but not everything is beneficial.(A) “I have the right to do anything”—but I will not be mastered by anything. 13 You say, “Food for the stomach and the stomach for food, and God will destroy them both.”(B) The body, however, is not meant for sexual immorality but for the Lord,(C) and the Lord for the body. 14 By his power God raised the Lord from the dead,(D) and he will raise us also.(E)
