1Cor 6
1
Dare any of you, having a matter against his neighbor, go to law before the unrighteous,
and not before the saints?
2
Or know you not that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world is judged
by you, are you unworthy to judge the small matters?
3
Know you not that we shall judge angels? how much more, things that pertain to this
life?
4
If then you have to judge things pertaining to this life, do you set them to judge
who are of no account in the church?
5
I say [this] to move you to shame. What, cannot there be [found] among you one wise
man who shall be able to decide between his brethren,
6
but brother goes to law with brother, and that before unbelievers?
7
Nay, already it is altogether a defect in you, that you have lawsuits one with another.
Why not rather take wrong? why not rather be defrauded?
8
Nay, but you yourselves do wrong, and defraud, and that [your] brethren.
9
Or know you not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not
deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor
abusers of themselves with men,
10
nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit
the kingdom of God.
11
And such were some of you: but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were
justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and in the Spirit of our God.
12
All things are lawful for me; but not all things are expedient. All things are lawful
for me; but I will not be brought under the power of any.
13
Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall bring to nothing both
it and them. But the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for
the body:
14
and God both raised the Lord, and will raise up as through his power.
15
Know you not that your bodies are members of Christ? shall I then take away the members
of Christ, and make them members of a harlot? God forbid.
16
Or know you not that he who is joined to a harlot is one body? for, The twain, says
he, shall become one flesh.
17
But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit.
18
Flee fornication. Every sin that a man does is without the body; but he who commits
fornication sins against his own body.
19
Or know you not that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which
you have from God? and you are not your own;
20
for you were bought with a price: glorify God therefore in your body.
