Can a man scoop fire into his lap without his clothes being burned? Can a man walk on hot coals without his feet being scorched?

Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God?

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 6:18-20)
