1 Corinthians 6:7-12

7Actually, then, it is already a defeat for you, that you have lawsuits with one another. 1Why not rather suffer the wrong? Why not rather be defrauded? 8On the contrary, you yourselves do wrong and defraud. And this to your 2brothers and sisters!

9Or 3do you not know that the unrighteous will not 4inherit the kingdom of God? 5Do not be deceived; 6neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor 7homosexuals, 10nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor those habitually drunk, nor verbal abusers, nor swindlers, will 8inherit the kingdom of God. 11 9Such were some of you; but you were 10washed, but you were 11sanctified, but you were 12justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and 13in the Spirit of our God.

12 14All 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.
