New American Standard Bible 1995
1 Corinthians 6:3-20
31Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more matters of this life? 4So if you have law courts dealing with matters of this life, 2do you appoint them as judges who are of no account in the church? 53I 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 4brethren, 6but brother goes to law with brother, and that before 5unbelievers?
7Actually, then, it is already a defeat for you, that you have lawsuits with one another. 6Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be defrauded? 8On the contrary, you yourselves wrong and defraud. You do this even to your 7brethren.
9Or 8do you not know that the unrighteous will not 9inherit the kingdom of God? 10Do not be deceived; 11neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor 12effeminate, nor homosexuals, 10nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will 13inherit the kingdom of God. 1114Such were some of you; but you were 15washed, but you were 16sanctified, but you were 17justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.
1218All 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. 1319Food is for the 20stomach and the 21stomach is for food, but God will 22do away with both 23of them. Yet the body is not for immorality, but 24for the Lord, and 25the Lord is for the body. 14Now God has not only 26raised the Lord, but 27will also raise us up through His power. 1528Do you not know that 29your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take away the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? 30May it never be! 16Or 31do you not know that the one who joins himself to a prostitute is one body with her? For He says, “32The two shall become one flesh.” 17But the one who joins himself to the Lord is 33one spirit with Him. 1834Flee immorality. Every other sin that a man commits is outside the body, but the 35immoral man sins against his own body. 19Or 36do you not know that 37your body is a 38temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from 39God, and that 40you are not your own? 20For 41you have been bought with a price: therefore glorify God in 42your body.
