Paul is confronting people who are saying My body is my own, I can do what I want with it, besides, it's going to be destroyed anyway. Paul makes it clear that our bodies aren't our own if we are Christians; they belong to God. The only way your body is your own, and therefore especially when you sin sexually, you are sinning against your own (God's) body. The more we discover about sex and sexually transmitted diseases, the more we have proof other than the Scriptures to point out that this is true. So what do we do with these bodies? Honor God with them, just as we are to honor God with every other area of our bodies.
