1 Corinthians6:16
16 What, know ye not that he which is joyned to an harlot, is one body? For two, saith he, shall be one flesh .
The conjunction of the husband and wife mentioned, Gen. 2 24. and the conjunction of the Fornicator and the Harlot, differ not as to the species of the act, only as to the morality of it; the former is an honest and lawful act, the other a dishonest and filthy act. So that he that is wickedly joined to an harlot, maketh himself one flesh with her with whom he committeth that folly and lewdness, and he must needs by it separate his body from its Membership with Christ, whose Holiness will admit no such Union.
