Overview
The Bible consistently addresses the sin of prostitution and sexual immorality, calling believers to sexual purity and holiness. God's law prohibited His people from engaging in or profiting from such practices, as they represent a fundamental violation of the body's purpose and dignity.
Key Scriptures
"You shall not bring the hire of a whore or the wages of a dog into the house of the Lord your God in payment for any vow, for both are an abomination to the Lord your God." (Deuteronomy 23:18, ESV)
"Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body." (1 Corinthians 6:18, ESV)
"For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you abstain from sexual immorality." (1 Thessalonians 4:3, ESV)
Application
Believers must guard their hearts and bodies from sexual sin, recognizing that our bodies belong to Christ and should be reserved for His glory and the covenant of marriage.
