1 Corinthians 6
โ 1 Corinthians 05 | 1 Corinthians | 1 Corinthians 07 โ
v1
Dare any of you, having a matter against his neighbor, go to law before the unrighteous, and not before the saints?
v2
Donโt you know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world is judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters?
v3
Donโt you know that we will judge angels? How much more, things that pertain to this life?
v4
If then you have to judge things pertaining to this life, do you set them to judge who are of no account in the assembly?
v5
I say this to move you to shame. Isnโt there even one wise man among you who would be able to decide between his brothers?
v6
But brother goes to law with brother, and that before unbelievers!
v7
Therefore it is already altogether a defect in you, that you have lawsuits one with another. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be defrauded?
v8
No, but you yourselves do wrong and defraud, and that against your brothers.
v9
Or donโt you know that the unrighteous will not inherit Godโs Kingdom? Donโt be deceived. Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor male prostitutes, nor homosexuals,
v10
nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor slanderers, nor extortionists, will inherit Godโs Kingdom.
v11
Some of you were such, but you were washed. But you were sanctified. But you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and in the Spirit of our God.
v12
โAll things are lawful for me,โ but not all things are expedient. โAll things are lawful for me,โ but I will not be brought under the power of anything.
v13
โFoods for the belly, and the belly for foods,โ but God will bring to nothing both it and them. But the body is not for sexual immorality, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body.
v14
Now God raised up the Lord, and will also raise us up by his power.
v15
Donโt you know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? May it never be!
v16
Or donโt you know that he who is joined to a prostitute is one body? For, โThe twoโ, he says, โwill become one flesh.โ
v17
But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit.
v18
Flee sexual immorality! โEvery sin that a man does is outside the body,โ but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body.
v19
Or donโt you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own,
v20
for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are Godโs.
