Albert Barnes Commentary
"and God both raised the Lord, and will raise up as through his power." — 1 Corinthians 6:14 (ASV)
And God has both raised up, etc. This is the second argument against giving way to this sin. It is this:
"We are united to Christ. God has raised him from the dead and made his body glorified. Our bodies will be like his ; and since our body is to be raised up by the power of God, since it is to be perfectly pure and holy, and since this is to be done by his agency, it is wrong that it should be devoted to purposes of pollution and lust."
It is unworthy:
No argument could be stronger. A deep sense of our union with a pure and risen Savior, and a lively hope of immortal purity, would do more than all other things to restrain from licentious indulgences.
