1 Corinthians 6
Going to Law before
Unbelievers |
1 |
Dare any of you, having a matter against
another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the
saints?
|
2 |
Do ye not know that the saints shall
judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye
unworthy to judge the smallest matters?
|
3 |
Know ye not that we shall judge angels?
how much more things that pertain to this life?
|
4 |
If then ye have judgments of things
pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in
the church.
|
5 |
I speak to your shame. Is it so, that
there is not a wise man among you? no, not one that shall be able to
judge between his brethren?
|
6 |
but brother goeth to law with brother,
and that before the unbelievers.
|
7 |
Now therefore there is utterly a fault
among you, because ye go to law one with another. Why do ye not
rather take wrong? Why do ye not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded?
|
8 |
Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, and that your brethren.
|
9 |
Know ye 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 mankind,
|
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 ye are
washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of
the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
|
Glorify God in Your
Body |
12 |
All things are lawful unto me, but all
things are not expedient: 1 Cor. 10.23 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 destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for
the body.
|
14 |
And God hath both raised up the Lord, and
will also raise up us by his own power.
|
15 |
Know ye not that your bodies are the
members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of a harlot? God forbid.
|
16 |
What! know ye not that he which is joined
to a harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh. Gen.
2.24
|
17 |
But he that is joined unto the Lord is
one spirit.
|
18 |
Flee fornication. Every sin that a man
doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication
sinneth against his own body.
|
19 |
What! know ye not that your body is the
temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, 1 Cor. 3.16 · 2 Cor. 6.16 which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
|
20 |
For ye are bought with a price: therefore
glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are
God's.
