1 Corinthians 6:15-17 - The two will become one flesh

6:15

We are part of Christ, that means not just our spirits or souls, but our bodies as well. God created our bodies, and our bodies are part of us. So when we become part of Christ, our bodies also become part of Christ. So to even think of going to a prostitute, as it seems some of the Corinthians were, is completely out of the question.


6:16,17

Sex is not just a physical act, but one of deep spiritual significance. So if one has sex with a prostitute (or any sex outside marriage) they are becoming spiritually united with that person. Paul goes back to Genesis 2:24 for his understanding. But if we are in Christ we are spiritually united with Him, so the prospect of any form of sexual immorality should be utterly unthinkable.
