Scripture consistently condemns sexual immorality, including prostitution, as contrary to God's design for human relationships. In 1 Corinthians 6:13, the apostle Paul teaches that the body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, and therefore should not be used for immoral purposes. The law given in Deuteronomy 23:17 prohibits the dedication of daughters to temple prostitution, while 1 Timothy 1:10 and Galatians 5:19-21 list various forms of sexual sin, including prostitution, as works of the flesh. Jesus' teaching in Matthew 5:32 also emphasizes the seriousness of adultery and the importance of faithfulness in marriage.
