1 Corinthians 6:2-20
2Or 1do you not know that 2the 3saints will judge 4the world? If the world is judged by you, are you not competent to form the smallest 5law courts? 36Do 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, 7do you appoint them as judges who are of no account in the church? 58I say this to your shame. Is it so, that there is not among you anyone wise who will be able to decide between his 9brothers and sisters, 6but brother goes to law with brother, and that before 10unbelievers?
7Actually, then, it is already a defeat for you, that you have lawsuits with one another. 11Why not rather suffer the wrong? Why not rather be defrauded? 8On the contrary, you yourselves do wrong and defraud. And this to your 12brothers and sisters!
9Or 13do you not know that the unrighteous will not 14inherit the kingdom of God? 15Do not be deceived; 16neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor 17homosexuals, 10nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor those habitually drunk, nor verbal abusers, nor swindlers, will 18inherit the kingdom of God. 1119Such were some of you; but you were 20washed, but you were 21sanctified, but you were 22justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and 23in the Spirit of our God.
1224All things are permitted for me, but not all things are of benefit. All things are permitted for me, but I will not be mastered by anything. 1325Food is for the stomach and the stomach is for food, however God will 26do away with both 27of them. But the body is not for sexual immorality, but 28for the Lord, and 29the Lord is for the body. 14Now God has not only 30raised the Lord, but 31will also raise us up through His power. 1532Do you not know that 33your bodies are parts of Christ? Shall I then take away the parts of Christ and make them parts of a prostitute? 3435Far from it! 16Or 36do you not know that the one who joins himself to a prostitute is one body with her? For He says, “37The two shall become one flesh.” 17But the one who joins himself to the Lord is 38one spirit with Him. 1839Flee sexual immorality. Every other sin that a person commits is outside the body, but the 40sexually immoral person sins against his own body. 19Or 41do you not know that 42your body is a 43temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from 44God, and that 45you are not your own? 20For 46you have been bought for a price: therefore glorify God in 47your body.
