Chapter 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. |
