1 Corinthians 6:13

Irenaeus Against Heresies Book V " How then is it not the utmost blasphemy to allege, that the temple of God, in which the Spirit of the Father dwells, and the members of Christ, do not partake of salvation, but are reduced to perdition? Also, that our bodies are raised not from their own substance, but by the power of God, he says to the Corinthians, "Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body. But God hath both raised up the Lord, and shall raise us up by His own power."[34]

Clement of Alexandria The Instructor Book I

With milk, then, the Lord's nutriment, we are nursed directly we are born; and as soon as we are regenerated, we are honoured by receiving the good news of the hope of rest, even the Jerusalem above, in which it is written that milk and honey fall in showers, receiving through what is material the pledge of the sacred food. "For meats are done away with,"[92]

Clement of Alexandria The Instructor Book II

But we who seek the heavenly bread must role the belly, which is beneath heaven, and much more the things which are agreeable to it, which "God shall destroy,"[2]

Clement of Alexandria The Instructor Book II

says the apostle, justly execrating gluttonous desires. For "meats are for the belly,"[3]

Clement of Alexandria Stromata Book III

Nam cum "domino sabbati," etiamsi intemperanter vivat, nulla ratio reddenda sit, multo magis qui vitam moderate et temperate instituit, nulli erit rationi reddendae obnoxius. "Omnia enim licent, sed non omnia expediunt,"[44]

Clement of Alexandria Stromata Book III

Etenim de ventre et cibis dictum est: "Escae ventri, et venter escis; Deus antem et illum et has destruet; "[57]

Clement of Alexandria Stromata Book III

usque ad illud: "Corpus autem non fornicationi, sed Domino, et Dominus corpori."[223]

Tertullian Against Marcion Book V

Why does (the apostle) clothe us and Christ with symbols of the Creator's solemn rites, unless they had relation to ourselves? When, again, he warns us against fornication, he reveals the resurrection of the flesh. "The body," says he, "is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body,"[299]

Novation On the Jewish Meats

wherein it was absolutely proved that they are ignorant of what is the true circumcision, and what the true Sabbath; and their ever increasing blindness is confuted in this present epistle, wherein I have briefly discoursed concerning their meats, because that in them they consider that they only are holy, and that all others are defiled.[7]

Novation On the Jewish Meats

Also elsewhere: "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."[26]

Gregory Thaumaturgus Canonical Epistle

For the apostle says, "Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them."[3]
