1 Corinthians 6
1¶ Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go unto judgment before the unjust, and not before the saints?
2Do 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?
3Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more the things that pertain to this life?
4If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set as judges the most humble who are in the congregation. {Gr. ekklesia – called out ones}
5I 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 brothers?
6But brother goes to judgment against brother, and that before the unbelievers.
7Now therefore there is certainly a fault among you, because ye go to law one with another. Why do ye not rather suffer the wrong? why do ye not rather be defrauded?
8But ye do wrong and defraud and do this to your brothers.
9¶ Know ye not that the unjust shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not err: neither fornicators nor idolaters nor adulterers nor effeminate nor homosexuals
10nor thieves nor covetous nor drunkards nor revilers nor extortioners shall inherit the kingdom of God.
11And such were some of you, but now ye are washed, but now ye are sanctified, but now ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and in 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.
13Foods are for the belly, and the belly for foods; 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.
14And God, who raised up the Lord, will also raise up us by his own power.
15Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them the members of a harlot? In no wise.
16What? know ye not that he who is joined to the harlot is one body with her? For they shall be, saith he, two in one flesh.
17But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.
18Flee fornication. Any other sin that a man does is outside the body, but he that commits fornication sins against his own body.
19What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom ye have of God, and that ye are not your own?
20For ye are bought with a price, therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.

Lawsuits among Believers
1If any of you has a legal dispute against another, do you dare go to court # Mt 18:15-17 before the unrighteous, # Unbelievers; v. 6 and not before the saints? 2Or 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 cases? 3Don’t you know that we will judge angels — not to mention ordinary matters? 4So if you have cases pertaining to this life, do you select those # Or life, appoint those (as a command) who have no standing # Lk 18:9 in the church to judge? 5I say this to your shame! # 1Co 4:14 Can it be that there is not one wise person among you who is able to arbitrate between his brothers? # Ac 9:30 6Instead, believer # Lit brothers goes to court against believer, and that before unbelievers! # Lk 12:46
7Therefore, to have legal disputes against one another is already a moral failure for you. # Rm 11:12 Why not rather put up with injustice? # Rv 2:11 Why not rather be cheated? # Mk 10:19 8Instead, you act unjustly and cheat — and you do this to believers! 9Don’t you know that the unrighteous # Lk 16:10 will not inherit God’s kingdom? # Mk 1:15; Ac 20:25 Do not be deceived: No sexually immoral people, idolaters, # Eph 5:5 adulterers, # Lk 18:11 or anyone practicing homosexuality, # Lit adulterers, passive homosexual partners, active homosexual partners # Gn 19:5 10no thieves, # Jn 10:1 greedy # Eph 5:5 people, drunkards, verbally abusive people, # 1Co 5:11 or swindlers # Lk 18:11 will inherit God’s kingdom. 11And some of you used to be like this. # Eph 2:2-3; 4:22; 5:8; Ti 3:3 But you were washed, you were sanctified, # Lk 11:2 you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.
Glorifying God in Body and Spirit
12“Everything is permissible # Jn 18:31 for me,” # The words in quotation marks are most likely slogans used by some Corinthian Christians and corrected by Paul. but not everything is helpful. “Everything is permissible for me,” but I will not be brought under the control of anything. 13“Food # 1Tm 6:8 for the stomach and the stomach for food,” but God will do away with both of them. # Lit both it and them The body is not for sexual immorality # 1Th 4:3 but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body. 14God raised up the Lord and will also raise us up by His power. # Mk 5:30; Lk 1:35; 6:19; Ac 19:11; 2Co 13:4; Rv 11:17 15Don’t you know that your bodies are a part of Christ’s body? # Rm 12:5; 1Co 12:27; Eph 5:30 So should I take a part of Christ’s body and make it part of a prostitute? Absolutely not! 16Don’t you know that anyone joined to a prostitute is one body with her? For Scripture says, The two will become one flesh. # Gn 2:24 # Gn 2:24 17But anyone joined # Jn 11:52 to the Lord is one spirit # Ps 51:12 with Him.
18Run # Jms 4:7 from sexual immorality! “Every sin a person can commit is outside the body.” # See note at 1Co 6:12-13. On the contrary, the person who is sexually immoral # 1Co 10:8 sins against his own body. 19Don’t you know that your body is a sanctuary # Lk 1:21 of the Holy Spirit # Rm 8:9,23; 1Co 7:40; 2Co 4:13; Jd 19 who is in you, # Jms 4:5; 1Jn 4:4 whom you have from God? You are not your own, 20for you were bought # 2Pt 2:1 at a price. Therefore glorify God in your body. # Other mss add and in your spirit, which belong to God.
