1 Corinthians 6:3-20

31Do 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, 2do you appointG2523 them as judges who are of noG1848 accountG1848 in the churchG1577? 53I sayG3004 this to your shameG1791. Is it soG3779, that thereG1762 isG1762 not amongG1722 you anyoneG3762 wiseG4680 whoG3739 will be ableG1410 to decideG1252 betweenG303G3319 his 4brothersG80 and sisters, 6but brotherG80 goesG2919 toG2919 lawG2919 with brotherG80, and that beforeG1909 5unbelieversG571?

7ActuallyG3654, thenG3767, it is alreadyG2235 a defeatG2275 for you, that you haveG2192 lawsuitsG2917 with oneG1438 anotherG1438. 6WhyG1223G5101 not ratherG3123 sufferG91 theG91 wrongG91? WhyG1223G5101 not ratherG3123 be defraudedG650? 8On the contraryG235, you yourselvesG4771 doG91 wrongG91 and defraudG650. And thisG3778 to your 7brothersG80 and sisters!

9OrG2228 8do you not knowG3609 that the unrighteousG94 will not 9inheritG2816 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316? 10Do not be deceivedG4105; 11neitherG3777 the sexuallyG4205 immoralG4205, norG3777 idolatersG1496, norG3777 adulterersG3432, norG3777 12homosexualsG3120G733, 10norG3777 thievesG2812, norG3777 the greedyG4123, norG3756 those habituallyG3183 drunkG3183, norG3756 verbalG3060 abusersG3060, norG3756 swindlersG727, will 13inheritG2816 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316. 1114SuchG3778 were someG5100 of you; but you were 15washedG628, but you were 16sanctifiedG37, but you were 17justifiedG1344 in the nameG3686 of the LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 and 18in the SpiritG4151 of our GodG2316.

1219AllG3956 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. 1320FoodG1033 is for the stomachG2836 and the stomachG2836 is for foodG1033, howeverG1161 GodG2316 will 21doG2673 awayG2673 withG2673 bothG2532 22of them. But the bodyG4983 is not for sexualG4202 immoralityG4202, but 23for the LordG2962, and 24the LordG2962 is for the bodyG4983. 14NowG1161 GodG2316 has not onlyG2532 25raisedG1453 the LordG2962, but 26will alsoG2532 raiseG1825 us upG1825 throughG1223 His powerG1411. 1527Do you not knowG3609 that 28your bodiesG4983 are partsG3196 of ChristG5547? Shall I thenG3767 takeG142 awayG142 the partsG3196 of ChristG5547 and makeG4160 them partsG3196 of a prostituteG4204? 2930FarG3361 fromG3361 it! 16OrG2228 31do you not knowG3609 that the one who joinsG2853 himself to a prostituteG4204 is oneG1520 bodyG4983 with her? For He saysG5346, “32The twoG1417 shall becomeG1510G1519 oneG1520 fleshG4561.” 17But the one who joinsG2853 himself to the LordG2962 is 33oneG1520 spiritG4151 with Him. 1834FleeG5343 sexualG4202 immoralityG4202. EveryG3956 otherG3739G1437 sinG265 that a personG444 commitsG4160 is outsideG1622 the bodyG4983, but the 35sexuallyG4203 immoralG4203 personG4203 sinsG264 againstG1519 his ownG2398 bodyG4983. 19OrG2228 36do you not knowG3609 that 37your bodyG4983 is a 38templeG3485 of the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 within you, whomG3739 you haveG2192 from 39GodG2316, and that 40you are not your ownG1438? 20For 41you have been boughtG59 for a priceG5092: thereforeG1211 glorifyG1392 GodG2316 in 42your bodyG4983.
