AGE 9-12 TEACHER’S MANUAL
SUNDAY 23RD OF JULY, 2023
LESSON FORTY SEVEN (47)
TOPIC: UNDERSTANDING YOUR SEXUALITY

BIBLE TEXT: 1 Corinthians 6:12-20
[12]All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.
[13]Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body.
[14]And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power.
[15]Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid.
[16]What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh.
[17]But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.
[18]Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.
[19]What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
[20]For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.
