1 Corinthians

6

Background of Book
1 Anyone of you having a matter against the other, dare he go to law before the unrighteous, and not before the saints? 2 Or do you not know that saints will judge the world? And if the world is to be judged by you, are you unworthy of the smallest of cases? 3 Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more the things of this life? 4 So indeed, if you have judgment as to the things of this life, set you up those the ones being despised in the church! 5 I say this to you for shame. Thus is there not one wise man among you who will be able to decide in between his brother? 6 Instead, brother goes to law against brother, and this before unbelievers! 7 Therefore indeed it is already altogether a defeat for you that you have lawsuits among one another. Why not rather suffer wrong? Why not rather be defrauded? 8 But you do wrong and defraud, and these things to brothers! 9 Or do you not know that the unrighteous ones will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, 10 nor thieves, nor coveters, not drunkards, nor verbal abusers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And some of you were such. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God. 12 “All things are lawful to me,” but not all things do profit. “All things are lawful to me,” but I will not be mastered by anything. 13 “Foods for the belly and the belly for foods,” but God will destroy both this and these. Now the body is not for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body. 14 And by His power God has both raised up the Lord, and will raise us out. 15 Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Having taken then the members of the Christ, shall I make them members of a prostitute? Never may it be! 16 Or do you not know that the one being joined to the prostitute is one body? For it says, “The two will become into one flesh.” 17 But the one being joined to the Lord is one spirit. 18 Flee sexual immorality. Every sin, whatever if a man might do, is outside the body, but the one sinning sexually sins against the own body. 19 Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit in you, whom you have from God? And you are not your own, 20 for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body.
