Chapter 6 | |
Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints? | |
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? | |
Know ye not that we shall judge
angels? how much more things that pertain to this life? | |
If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church. | |
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? | |
But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before the unbelievers. | |
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? | |
Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, and that your brethren. | |
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, | |
Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. | |
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. | |
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. | |
| | 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. |
| | And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us
by his own power. |
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. | |
What? know ye not that he
which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh. | |
But he that is
joined unto the Lord is one spirit. | |
| | Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the
body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. |
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? | |
For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's. |
