Reading 3, 1Cor 6:12-20 : Our body is the etemple of Holy spirit

 

12 "All things are lawful for me," but not all things are helpful. "All things are lawful for me," but I will not be enslaved by anything. 
13 "Food is meant for the stomach and the stomach for food" -- and God will destroy both one and the other. The body is not meant for immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body. 
14 And God raised the Lord and will also raise us up by his power. 
15 Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I therefore take the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? Never! 
16 Do you not know that he who joins himself to a prostitute becomes one body with her? For, as it is written, "The two shall become one flesh." 
17 But he who is united to the Lord becomes one spirit with him. 
18 Shun immorality. Every other sin which a man commits is outside the body; but the immoral man sins against his own body. 
19 Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, which you have from God? You are not your own; 
20 you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.


Gospel, Jn 6:37-44 : Eternal life to those who believe in the Son

 
37 All that the Father gives me will come to me; and him who comes to me I will not cast out. 
38 For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me; 
39 and this is the will of him who sent me, that I should lose nothing of all that he has given me, but raise it up at the last day. 
40 For this is the will of my Father, that every one who sees the Son and believes in him should have eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day." 
41 The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, "I am the bread which came down from heaven." 
42 They said, "Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How does he now say, `I have come down from heaven'?" 
43 Jesus answered them, "Do not murmur among yourselves. 
44 No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day
