wicked, and not by the saints? [6:2]Do you not know that the saints
shall judge the world? And if the world is judged by you, are you
unworthy of the lowest courts? [6:3]Know you not that we shall judge
angels? Much more then things pertaining to this life? [6:4]If then you
have courts for the business of this life, do you constitute them of
the most abject in the church? [6:5]I speak to your shame. Is there
not now a wise man among you? not one who can judge between his
brothers? [6:6]But brother goes to law with brother, and that before
unbelievers. [6:7]Now therefore there is a great fault among you, that
you go to law one with another. Why not rather suffer injustice? why
not rather be defrauded? [6:8]But you injure and defraud, and that your
brothers. [6:9]Know you not that the unjust shall not inherit the
kingdom of God? Be not deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters,
nor adulterers, nor the effeminate, nor sodomites, [6:10]nor thieves,
nor covetous persons, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor the rapacious,
shall inherit the kingdom of God. [6:11]And such were some of you; but
you are washed, you are sanctified, but you are justified in the name
of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

4 [6:12]All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient;
all things are lawful, but I will not be brought under the power of
any. [6:13]Food for the stomach, and the stomach for food; but God will
destroy both it and them. And the body is not for fornication but for
the Lord; and the Lord for the body; [6:14]and God both raised the
Lord, and will raise us up by his power. [6:15]Know you not that your
bodies are Christ's members? Shall I then take the members of Christ
and make them a harlot's members? by no means. [6:16]Know you not that
he who is joined to a harlot is one body [with her]? For the two, says
he, shall be one flesh. [6:17]But he that is joined to the Lord is one
spirit [with him]. [6:18]Avoid fornication. Every crime that a man
commits is out of his body; but he that commits fornication sins in his
body. [6:19]Know you not that your bodies are a temple of the Holy
Spirit in you which you have from God, and you are not your own?
[6:20]For you are bought with a price; therefore glorify God in your
body.

MARRIAGE, CELIBACY, ETC., AND THINGS OFFERED TO IDOLS.

1 [7:1]CONCERNING what you wrote to me, it is good for a man not to
touch a woman; [7:2]but on account of forni
