BIBLE READING: 1 Corinthians 6:15-20
15 Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid.

20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.

Satan leading on:
Mighty men around us falling,
Courage almost gone!

But our help is near:
Onward comes our great
