For I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy; for I betrothed you to one husband, so that to Christ I might present you as a pure virgin. II Cor 11:2
The Bible pictures the Christian as the bride of Christ. In Christ we are betrothed to our bridegroom, anxiously awaiting being joined eternally at the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. Our purity is essential to maintain that relationship. Those who would defile that purity really hurt the apostle Paul, and it should hurt all of us too. Let's be careful to preserve our purity and help others do the same.
