In I Cor 6:12-13, Paul cites several general statements that are context dependent. In light of what the Apostle has addressed thus far and what he proceeds to cover in this chapter, Paul provides categorical qualifications to equip the church with discernment pertaining to matters of moral order within their community given the norms of society around them. Remember, the Corinthian church was just down the street from a bustling cultural center boasting the great wealth of a dual port city and international religious tourism making pilgrimage to the goddess Aphrodite and engaging in rampant prostitution and other debauchery she stood for.
