1 | 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 both 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 the 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 Holy
Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not
your own? |
|
20 | For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your
body, and in your spirit, which are God's. |
