19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? 20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's (1 Corinthians 6:19-20).
Paul is reminding believers that they are God’s. And therefore all actions that are committed should be glorifying to God. Any action committed by a person that is not glorifying to God should be eliminated. When we intentionally sin, we grieve the Holy Spirit and this should cause us to stop and repent immediately. We are never alone and while this should be a comfort to us, if we are not doing what is righteous we should feel very uncomfortable with the knowledge that we are grieving God.
