Prov. 2:16‑19• 16To deliver thee from the strange woman, from the stranger who flattereth with her words;
 17who forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God;
 18--for her house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto the dead;
 19none that go unto her return again, neither do they attain to the paths of life: (Prov. 2:16‑19)
;
Prov. 5:3‑11• 3For the lips of the strange woman drop honey, and her mouth is smoother than oil;
 4but her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword.
 5Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on Sheol.
 6Lest she should ponder the path of life, her ways wander, she knoweth not whither.
 7And now, children, hearken unto me, and depart not from the words of my mouth.
 8Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the door of her house:
 9lest thou give thine honour unto others, and thy years unto the cruel;
 10lest strangers be filled with thy wealth, and the fruits of thy toil come into the house of a stranger;
 11and thou mourn in thine end, when thy flesh and thy body are consumed; (Prov. 5:3‑11)
;
Prov. 6:24‑26• 24to keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman.
 25Lust not after her beauty in thy heart, neither let her take thee with her eyelids;
 26for by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a loaf of bread, and another's wife doth hunt for the precious soul. (Prov. 6:24‑26)
;
Prov. 7:21‑27• 21With her much enticement she beguiled him; with the smoothness of her lips she constrained him.
 22He went after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, and as stocks serve for the correction of the fool;
 23till an arrow strike through his liver: as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it is for its life.
 24And now, ye sons, hearken unto me, and attend to the words of my mouth.
 25Let not thy heart decline to her ways, go not astray in her paths:
 26for she hath cast down many wounded, and all slain by her were strong.
 27Her house is the way to Sheol, going down to the chambers of death. (Prov. 7:21‑27)
;
1 Cor. 6:15‑18• 15Do ye not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then, taking the members of the Christ, make them members of a harlot? Far be the thought.
 16Do ye not know that he that is joined to the harlot is one body? for the two, he says, shall be one flesh.
 17But he that is joined to the Lord is one Spirit.
 18Flee fornication. Every sin which a man may practise is without the body, but he that commits fornication sins against his own body. (1 Cor. 6:15‑18)
