1 Corinthians, Chapter 6

1 Does any one of you, when he has aa Lit mattercase against his neighbor, dare to go to law before the unrighteous and not before theb Or holy onessaints? 2 Or do you not know that thec V 1, note 2saints will judge the world? If the world is judged by you, are you not competent tod Or try the trivial cases?constitute the smallest law courts? 3 Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more matters of this life? 4 So if you have law courts dealing with matters of this life,e Or appoint them...churchdo you appoint them as judges who are of no account in the church? 5 I say this to your shame. Is it so, that there is not among you one wise man who will be able to decide between his brethren, 6 but brother goes to law with brother, and that before unbelievers?
7 Actually, then, it is already a defeat for you, that you have lawsuits with one another. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be defrauded? 8 On the contrary, you yourselves wrong and defraud. You do this even to your brethren.
9 Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, norf I.e. effeminate by perversioneffeminate, nor homosexuals, 10 nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 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 profitable. All things are lawful for me, but I will not be mastered by anything. 13 Food is for theg Lit bellystomach and theh Lit bellystomach is for food, but God will do away with bothi Lit it and themof them. Yet the body is not for immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord is for the body. 14 Now God has not only raised the Lord, but will also raise us up through His power. 15 Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take away the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? May it never be! 16 Or do you not know that the one who joins himself to a prostitute is one body with her? For He says, “THE TWO SHALL BECOME ONE FLESH.” 17 But the one who joins himself to the Lord is one spirit with Him. 18 Flee immorality. Every other sin that a man commits is outside the body, but thej Or one who practices immoralityimmoral man sins against his own body. 19 Or do you not know that your body is ak Or sanctuarytemple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have froml Or God? And you...ownGod, and that you are not your own? 20 For you have been bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body.
