Use Seeing you expect your Bodies should arise to Glory, keep your Bodies unspotted from sin. Shall a drunken Body rise to Glory? Shall an unclean Body rise to Glory? Shall a thievish Body steal into Heaven? O keep your Bodies pure: Keep your Eyes from unchaste Glances; your Hands from Bribes; your Tongues from Slander: Defile not your Bodies which you hope shall rise one day to Glory. Your Bodies are the Members of Christ; and hear what the Apostle saith, 1 Cor. 6.15. Shall I take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an Harlot? God forbid. O keep your Bodies unspotted, let them be Instruments of Righteousness, 1 Cor. 6.20. Glorify God in your Body. If your Bodies glorify God, God will glorify your Bodies.
