Many believe that the following two sayings in this passage were repeated slogans of the Corinthians to justify their sin (1 Corinthians 6:12-17). “All things are permissible for me” (vs. 12), and “Foods for the stomach and the stomach for foods, but God will destroy both it and them” (vs. 13). Perhaps, they believed that their liberty in Christ freed them to do whatever they pleased including commit sexual immorality. “Perhaps, the Corinthians drew an analogy between the appetite for food and the desire for sex, arguing that one should satisfy the latter whenever one wishes, just as one satisfies the former.” (1 Corinthians, Thomas R. Schreiner, pg. 127) Perhaps, they were influenced by Greek philosophy to believe that since the body will be destroyed, it does not matter what you do in it. Paul countered by arguing the significance of the body citing the resurrection. Since the Christian’s body will be raised, and is a member of Christ, it matters what we do in it. Furthermore, Paul concluded this section by indicating that it matters how we use our bodies because Christ purchased us with His own blood on the cross (vv. 18-20). “For you were bought with a price. So, glorify God in your body.” (vs. 20)
