1 Corinthians Chapter 6
1 Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unrighteous⁺ and not before the saints? Matthew 5:25
2 Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world will be judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters?
3 Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more then, the things that pertain to this life?
4 So then, if you have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the assembly⁺.
5 I speak this to your shame. Is it so that there is not a wise person⁺ among you? Not one who is able to judge between believers⁺?
6 But believer⁺ goes to law with believer⁺, and that before unbelievers.
7 Now therefore, there is utterly a fault among you because you go to law with one another. Why do you not instead⁺ just accept⁺ the wrong? Why do you not instead⁺ allow yourselves to be defrauded?
8 No. You do wrong and defraud, and that among believers⁺.
9 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators nor idolaters nor adulterers nor effeminate persons nor defilers⁺ of themselves
10 nor thieves nor covetous nor drunks nor revilers nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God.
11 Such were some of you. But now you are washed. But now you are sanctified. But now you are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.
12 All things are lawful to me. But all things are not expedient. All things are lawful for me. But I will not be brought under the power of anything.
13 Food⁺ for the belly and the belly for food⁺. But God will destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord. And the Lord for the body.
14 God has both raised up the Lord and will also raise up us by His own power.
15 Do you not know that your bodies are the members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them the members of a harlot? That cannot be⁺.
16 What? Do you not know that anyone who is joined to a harlot becomes⁺ one body with them? For two, He says, shall be one flesh. Matthew 19:5
17 But those who are joined to the Lord are one in spirit with Him.
18 Flee fornication~. Every other sin that anyone does is outside⁺ the body. But those who commit fornication sin against their own bodies.
19 What? Do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own.
20 You are bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's.
