I CORINTHIANS CHAP. VI.


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 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 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 Holdy Ghost which is in you, which
ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
20 For ye are brought with a price; therefore
glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which 
are God's.
