Sept. 10
1 Corinthians 6
1Co 6:1 Dare any of
you, having a matter against his neighbor, go to law before the
unrighteous, and not before the saints?
1Co 6:2 Don't you know
that the saints will judge the world? And if the world is judged by
you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters?
1Co 6:3 Don't you know
that we will judge angels? How much more, things that pertain to this
life?
1Co 6:4 If then, you
have to judge things pertaining to this life, do you set them to
judge who are of no account in the assembly?
1Co 6:5 I say this to
move you to shame. Isn't there even one wise man among you who would
be able to decide between his brothers?
1Co 6:6 But brother
goes to law with brother, and that before unbelievers!
1Co 6:7 Therefore it is
already altogether a defect in you, that you have lawsuits one with
another. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be defrauded?
1Co 6:8 No, but you
yourselves do wrong, and defraud, and that against your brothers.
1Co 6:9 Or don't you
know that the unrighteous will not inherit the Kingdom of God? Don't
be deceived. Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor
adulterers, nor male prostitutes, nor homosexuals,
1Co 6:10 nor thieves,
nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor slanderers, nor extortioners, will
inherit the Kingdom of God.
1Co 6:11 Such were some
of you, but you were washed. But you were sanctified. But you were
justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and in the Spirit of our
God.
1Co 6:12 "All
things are lawful for me," but not all things are expedient.
"All things are lawful for me," but I will not be brought
under the power of anything.
1Co 6:13 "Foods
for the belly, and the belly for foods," but God will bring to
nothing both it and them. But the body is not for sexual immorality,
but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body.
1Co 6:14 Now God raised
up the Lord, and will also raise us up by his power.
1Co 6:15 Don't you know
that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members
of Christ, and make them members of a prostitute? May it never be!
1Co 6:16 Or don't you
know that he who is joined to a prostitute is one body? For, "The
two," says he, "will become one flesh."
1Co 6:17 But he who is
joined to the Lord is one spirit.
1Co 6:18 Flee sexual
immorality! "Every sin that a man does is outside the body,"
but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body.
1Co 6:19 Or don't you
know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you,
which you have from God? You are not your own,
1Co 6:20 for you were
bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your
spirit, which are God's.
