DARE any one 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 the things of this life? (4)If then
ye have judgments about things of this life, set those to judge who
are of no esteem in the church.
(5)I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among
you, not even one that shall be able to judge between his brethren;
(6)but brother goes to law with brother, and that before unbelievers?
(7)Now therefore, it is altogether 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 the effeminate, nor
abusers of themselves with mankind, (10)nor thieves, nor the covetous,
nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the
kingdom of God. (11)And such were some of you; but ye were washed, but
ye were sanctified, but ye were justified in the name of the Lord
Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
(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. (13)Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats;
but God will destroy both it and them. But the body is not for
fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body. (14)And God
both raised the Lord, and will also raise up us by his power.
(15)Know ye not that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then
take the members of Christ, and make them members of a harlot? Far be
it! (16)Know ye not that he who is joined to a harlot is one body? For
the two, says he, shall be one flesh. (17)But he that is joined to the
Lord is one spirit. (18)Flee fornication. Every sin that a man commits
is without the body; but he that commits fornication, sins against his
own body. (19)Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy
Spirit, who is in you, whom ye have from God, and ye are not your own?
(20)For ye are bought with a price; therefore glorify God in your
body.
