"Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a man commits are outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body." 1 Corinthians 6:18 (NIV)
Paul clearly states that that sexual sin is different from all other sins in the fact that sexual sin is against your own body. Other sin is done on "outside" of the body. But here is the kicker that many of you maybe not have ever thought about:
"For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh." Genesis 2:24
So now here is the connection... when a man and women get married they become ONE FLESH, ONE BODY. So when sexual sin is committed it is not only against you, but against your spouse. That is why it is so important to make habits of purity even before getting married because living with those habits will effect both you and your wife's body. Even as a single man or women, undealt with sexual sin, when married, will effect your knew spouse as well because they will be one flesh with you. So never fool yourself into thinking that sexual sins won't hurt anyone else, they will. Especially if you get stuck in the habit and addiction that comes with it when you are single. Those habits will carry over, it won't get easier when you have your wife or husband. If you plan on getting married one day, take a stand now and deal with the hardships of sexual sin BEFORE the big day.
