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?
Isaiah 1:21 How the faithful city has become a prostitute! She was full of justice; righteousness lodged in her, but now murderers.
Isaiah 23:17 It will happen after the end of seventy years that Yahweh will visit Tyre, and she shall return to her wages, and will play the prostitute with all the kingdoms of the world on the surface of the earth.
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.
Revelation 17:15 He said to me, "The waters which you saw, where the prostitute sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations, and languages.
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.
Rom.7:2 For the woman that has a husband is bound by law to the husband while he lives, but if the husband dies, she is discharged from the law of the husband. 7:3 So then if, while the husband lives, she is joined to another man, she would be called an adulteress. But if the husband dies, she is free from the law, so that she is no adulteress, though she is joined to another man. 7:4 Therefore, my brothers, you also were made dead to the law through the body of Christ, that you would be joined to another, to him who was raised from the dead, that we might bring forth fruit to God.
