QUESTION #1

John 14:23
“If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home in him.”

“Do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? You were bought at a price. Therefore, honor God with your bodies.”
1Corinthians 6:19-20

“If any brother has a wife who is not a believer and she is willing to live with him, he must not divorce her. And if a woman has a husband who is not a believer and he is willing to live with her, she must not divorce him.

For the unbelieving husband has been sanctified through his wife, and the unbelieving wife has been sanctified through her believing husband. Otherwise, your children would be unclean, but as it is, they are holy.”
1Corinthians 7:12-14

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.”
