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 anyone wise who will be able to decide between his 4brothers and sisters, 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 suffer the wrong? Why not rather be defrauded? 8On the contrary, you yourselves do wrong and defraud. And this to your 7brothers and sisters!
9Or 8do you not know that the unrighteous will not 9inherit the kingdom of God? 10Do not be deceived; 11neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor 12homosexuals, 10nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor those habitually drunk, nor verbal abusers, 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 18in the Spirit of our God.
1219All 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. 1320Food is for the stomach and the stomach is for food, however God will 21do away with both 22of them. But the body is not for sexual immorality, but 23for the Lord, and 24the Lord is for the body. 14Now God has not only 25raised the Lord, but 26will also raise us up through His power. 1527Do you not know that 28your bodies are parts of Christ? Shall I then take away the parts of Christ and make them parts of a prostitute? 2930Far from it! 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 sexual immorality. Every other sin that a person commits is outside the body, but the 35sexually immoral person sins against his own body. 19Or 36do you not know that 37your body is a 38temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from 39God, and that 40you are not your own? 20For 41you have been bought for a price: therefore glorify God in 42your body.
