1 Corinthians 6

Lawsuits Discouraged

1Does anyG5100 oneG5100 of you, when he hasG2192 a 1caseG4229 againstG4314 2his neighborG2087, dareG5111 to goG2919 toG2919 lawG2919 beforeG1909 the unrighteousG94 and 3not beforeG1909 the 4saintsG40? 2OrG2228 5do you not knowG3609 that 6the 7saintsG40 will judgeG2919 8the worldG2889? IfG1487 the worldG2889 is judgedG2919 by you, are you notG370 competentG370 to form the smallestG1646 9lawG2922 courtsG2922? 310Do you not knowG3609 that we will judgeG2919 angelsG32? HowG3386 muchG3386 moreG3386 mattersG982 ofG982 thisG982 lifeG982? 4SoG3767 ifG1437 you haveG2192 lawG2922 courtsG2922 dealing with mattersG982 ofG982 thisG982 lifeG982, 11do you appointG2523 them as judges who are of noG1848 accountG1848 in the churchG1577? 512I sayG3004 this to your shameG1791. Is it soG3779, that thereG1762 isG1762 not amongG1722 you anyoneG3762 wiseG4680 whoG3739 will be ableG1410 to decideG1252 betweenG303G3319 his 13brothersG80 and sisters, 6but brotherG80 goesG2919 toG2919 lawG2919 with brotherG80, and that beforeG1909 14unbelieversG571?

7ActuallyG3654, thenG3767, it is alreadyG2235 a defeatG2275 for you, that you haveG2192 lawsuitsG2917 with oneG1438 anotherG1438. 15WhyG1223G5101 not ratherG3123 sufferG91 theG91 wrongG91? WhyG1223G5101 not ratherG3123 be defraudedG650? 8On the contraryG235, you yourselvesG4771 doG91 wrongG91 and defraudG650. And thisG3778 to your 16brothersG80 and sisters!

9OrG2228 17do you not knowG3609 that the unrighteousG94 will not 18inheritG2816 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316? 19Do not be deceivedG4105; 20neitherG3777 the sexuallyG4205 immoralG4205, norG3777 idolatersG1496, norG3777 adulterersG3432, norG3777 21homosexualsG3120G733, 10norG3777 thievesG2812, norG3777 the greedyG4123, norG3756 those habituallyG3183 drunkG3183, norG3756 verbalG3060 abusersG3060, norG3756 swindlersG727, will 22inheritG2816 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316. 1123SuchG3778 were someG5100 of you; but you were 24washedG628, but you were 25sanctifiedG37, but you were 26justifiedG1344 in the nameG3686 of the LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 and 27in the SpiritG4151 of our GodG2316.

The Body Is the Lord’s

1228AllG3956 thingsG3956 are permittedG1832 for me, but not allG3956 thingsG3956 areG4851 ofG4851 benefitG4851. AllG3956 thingsG3956 are permittedG1832 for me, but I will not be masteredG1850 by anythingG5100. 1329FoodG1033 is for the stomachG2836 and the stomachG2836 is for foodG1033, howeverG1161 GodG2316 will 30doG2673 awayG2673 withG2673 bothG2532 31of them. But the bodyG4983 is not for sexualG4202 immoralityG4202, but 32for the LordG2962, and 33the LordG2962 is for the bodyG4983. 14NowG1161 GodG2316 has not onlyG2532 34raisedG1453 the LordG2962, but 35will alsoG2532 raiseG1825 us upG1825 throughG1223 His powerG1411. 1536Do you not knowG3609 that 37your bodiesG4983 are partsG3196 of ChristG5547? Shall I thenG3767 takeG142 awayG142 the partsG3196 of ChristG5547 and makeG4160 them partsG3196 of a prostituteG4204? 3839FarG3361 fromG3361 it! 16OrG2228 40do you not knowG3609 that the one who joinsG2853 himself to a prostituteG4204 is oneG1520 bodyG4983 with her? For He saysG5346, “41The twoG1417 shall becomeG1510G1519 oneG1520 fleshG4561.” 17But the one who joinsG2853 himself to the LordG2962 is 42oneG1520 spiritG4151 with Him. 1843FleeG5343 sexualG4202 immoralityG4202. EveryG3956 otherG3739G1437 sinG265 that a personG444 commitsG4160 is outsideG1622 the bodyG4983, but the 44sexuallyG4203 immoralG4203 personG4203 sinsG264 againstG1519 his ownG2398 bodyG4983. 19OrG2228 45do you not knowG3609 that 46your bodyG4983 is a 47templeG3485 of the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 within you, whomG3739 you haveG2192 from 48GodG2316, and that 49you are not your ownG1438? 20For 50you have been boughtG59 for a priceG5092: thereforeG1211 glorifyG1392 GodG2316 in 51your bodyG4983.
