1Cor.6:15 Don't you know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them members of a prostitute? May it never be!
There are legitimate relationship, and illegitimate relationship before God, prostitution makes one of the body of Christ one flesh with a body that is illegitimate too God. However, being under Christ Jesus headship is legitimate headship. In light of what Paul was speaking about here in Corinthian he is speaking to prostitution as body of fleshly laws rather than the legitimate spiritual body of truth Christ Jesus, what does this mean?
These brothers and sisters were going to a headship that was illegitimate a prostitute in the flesh, yes, laws of the flesh brought into the body of Christ Jesus. Thus, being at one with laws of the flesh defiles the legitimate headship of Christ Jesus, but why? Simply put, the flesh does not exist in Christ Jesus and its corruption into death. Christ Jesus is the imperishable life immortal and incorruptible, ruled by the law of love. If they went back to the Old Law, they would be under a headship no longer authorized by God, in fact, it was put to death in Christ Jesus, and abolished, such headship would pollute the purity of the New Covenant instituted to remove the sins of the flesh, by putting the flesh to death in Christ, which abolished the Law of Moses.
No stronger argument could Paul make for staying in Christ Jesus than the analogy of a prostitute polluting that which is holy a vessel of the Temple on earth, but now, they had come to the Great Spiritual Temple of the living God Jehovah, and were holy vessels for God's purposes, if they came under law of the flesh they would polluted themselves as with a literal prostitute.
