SEV Biblia, Chapter 6:16
¿O no sabis que el que se junta con la ramera, es hecho con ella un cuerpo? Porque sern, dice, los dos (en) una carne.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 1 Corinthians 6:16
Verse 16. He that is joined to a harlot is one body] In Sohar Genes., fol. 19, we have these remarkable words: Whosoever connects himself with another man's wife, does in effect renounce the holy blessed God, and the Church of the Israelites.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 16. What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot , etc.] Not in marriage, but in carnal copulation, and unclean embraces, is one body with her for two (saith he, Adam, or Moses, or God, or the Scripture, or as R.
Sol. Jarchi says, the Holy Spirit, ( Genesis 2:24)) shall be one flesh ; what is originally said of copulation in lawful marriage, in which man and wife, legally coupled together, become one flesh, is applied to the unlawful copulation of a man with an harlot, by which act they also become one body, one flesh; and which is made use of by the apostle, to deter the members of Christ from the commission of this sin, which makes a member of Christ one body and flesh with an harlot, than which nothing is more monstrous and detestable. The apostle here directs to the true sense of the phrase in Genesis, and they shall be one flesh; that is, man and wife shall only have carnal knowledge of, and copulation with each other. Some Jewish writers interpret this phrase, dlwh dxm on account of the foetus, which is formed by the means of them both, and which becomes their one flesh: others f83 , thus as if they were, or because they are, like as if they were one flesh; but others f84 , in more agreement with the apostle, think that this has respect rwbjh la , to that conjunction, by which the fixing of the species is completed; and others f85 expressly thus, they two shall be one flesh, hyn wqml dja rb yw[ , that is, in the place where both of them make one flesh: which is equally done by unlawful copulation with an harlot, as with a mans own wife.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 12-20 - Some among the Corinthians seem to have been ready to say, All thing are lawful for me. This dangerous conceit St. Paul opposes. There is liberty wherewith Christ has made us free, in which we must stand fast But surely a Christian would never put himself into the power of an bodily appetite. The body is for the Lord; is to be an instrument of righteousness to holiness, therefore is never to be made an instrumen of sin. It is an honour to the body, that Jesus Christ was raised from the dead; and it will be an honour to our bodies, that they will be raised. The hope of a resurrection to glory, should keep Christian from dishonouring their bodies by fleshly lusts. And if the soul be united to Christ by faith, the whole man is become a member of his spiritual body. Other vices may be conquered in fight; that her cautioned against, only by flight. And vast multitudes are cut off by this vice in its various forms and consequences. Its effects fall no only directly upon the body, but often upon the mind. Our bodies have been redeemed from deserved condemnation and hopeless slavery by the atoning sacrifice of Christ. We are to be clean, as vessels fitted for our Master's use. Being united to Christ as one spirit, and bought with a price of unspeakable value, the believer should consider himself a wholly the Lord's, by the strongest ties. May we make it our business to the latest day and hour of our lives, to glorify God with ou bodies, and with our spirits which are his __________________________________________________________________

16. He that is joined (o kollwmenov). See on Luke xv. 15. Compare Aeschylus: "The family has been glued (kekollhtai) to misfortune" ("Agamemnon," 1543). The verb is used Gen. ii. 24, Sept., of the relation of husband and wife: shall cleave. In Deut. x. 20; xi. 22; Jer. xiii. 11, of man's cleaving to God.To a harlot (th pornh). Lit., the harlot. The article is significant: his harlot, or that one with whom he is sinning at the time.
Shall be one flesh (esontai eiv sarka mian). Lit., shall be unto one flesh: i.e., from being two, shall pass into one. Hence Rev., rightly, shall become. Compare Eph. ii. 15.
Robertson's NT Word Studies
6:16 {One body} (hen swma). With the harlot. That union is for the harlot the same as with the wife. The words quoted from #Ge 2:24 describing the sexual union of husband and wife, are also quoted and explained by Jesus in #Mt 19:5f. which see for discussion of the translation Hebraism with use of eis. {Saith he} (fesin). Supply either ho qeos (God) or he grafe (the Scripture).
