In the 1 Cor. 6.19. the Apostle argueth against all libidinous and unclean ways, because their bodies were the Temple of the Holy Ghost; now here the Apostle doth not so much speak of every man, as their Assembly united together: as they were a spiritual Society joined together: As is more largely to be showed. The Apostle argueth chiefly (though not excluding sins of practice) against corruptions in Doctrine, and the Ordinances instituted in the Church; by which we may see, the Scripture puts corruptions in Doctrine through errors, and in our lives through ungodliness, in the same guilt; both are unclean, and so may not be admitted into the Temple: even as the Apostle in the first Chapter, verse 5, 6. and Gal. 59, useth a Proverbial speech, A little leaven, leaveneth the whole lump, against corruptions in life and in Doctrine; but of this more afterwards.
