1
Corinthians 6
1 Dare any of you, having a matter
against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints?
2 Do ye not know that the saints
shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye
unworthy to judge the smallest matters?
3 Know ye not that we shall judge
angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?
4 If then ye have judgments of
things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed
in the church.
5 I speak to your shame. Is it so,
that there is not a wise man among you? no, not one that shall be able to
judge between his brethren?
6 But brother goeth to law with
brother, and that before the unbelievers.
7 Now therefore there is utterly a
fault among you, because ye go to law one with another. Why do ye not
rather take wrong? why do ye not rather suffer yourselves to be
defrauded?
8 Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, and
that your brethren.
9 Know ye not that the unrighteous
shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither
fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of
themselves with mankind,
10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor
drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of
God.
11 And such were
some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are
justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
12 All things are lawful unto me,
but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will
not be brought under the power of any.
13 Meats for the belly, and the
belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body is
not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body.
14 And God hath both raised up the
Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power.
15 Know ye not that your bodies are
the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them
the members of an harlot? God forbid.
16 What? know ye not that he which
is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh.
17 But he that is joined unto the
Lord is one spirit.
18 Flee fornication. Every sin that
a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication
sinneth against his own body.
19 What? know ye
not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you,
which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
20 For ye are bought with a price:
therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.
