Paul was a missionary in Corinth, where he established the church and taught the people about Jesus. He later learned that there were problems in Corinth, and people weren’t keeping the commandments like they should. He wrote a letter to them, encouraging them to make better choices. 

One thing Paul taught is that our bodies are temples, and that we belong to God. He “purchased” us through the sacrifice of our Savior Jesus Christ. We can strive to keep our bodies and minds holy and pure. It is an old saying that “Cleanliness is next to Godliness.” It is important to be clean, both physically and spiritually.

We can show that we are thankful for our bodies by trying to keep them clean and healthy. We keep our minds clean by being careful of the things we read, watch, and listen to. We keep our language clean by using kind, polite words.

We should try to be spiritually clean by keeping the commandments. If we make a mistake and sin, we can repent, and through the atonement of Jesus Christ, we can be “washed” clean again.
