Lawsuits Discouraged

1 Does any one of you, when he has a ^acase against his neighbor, dare to go to law before the unrighteous and ¹not before the ^bsaints ? 2 Or ²do you not know that ³the ^csaints will judge ⁴the world ? If the world is judged by you, are you not competent to ^dconstitute the smallest law courts ? 3 ⁵Do you not know that we will judge angels ? How much more matters of this life ? 4 So if you have law courts dealing with matters of this life, ^edo you appoint them as judges who are of no account in the church ? 5 ⁶I say this to your shame. Is it so, that there is not among you one wise man who will be able to decide between his ⁷brethren, 6 but brother goes to law with brother, and that before ⁸unbelievers ? 7 Actually, then, it is already a defeat for you, that you have lawsuits with one another. ⁹Why not rather be wronged ? Why not rather be defrauded ? 8 On the contrary, you yourselves wrong and defraud. You do this even to your ¹⁰brethren. 9 Or ¹¹do you not know that the unrighteous will not ¹²inherit the kingdom of God ? ¹³Do not be deceived ; ¹⁴neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor ^feffeminate, nor homosexuals, 10 nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will ¹⁵inherit the kingdom of God. 11 ¹⁶Such were some of you; but you were ¹⁷washed, but you were ¹⁸sanctified, but you were ¹⁹justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.

The Body Is the Lord's

12 ²⁰All things are lawful for me, but not all things are profitable. All things are lawful for me, but I will not be mastered by anything. 13 ²¹Food is for the ^gstomach and the ^hstomach is for food, but God will ²²do away with both ⁱof them. Yet the body is not for immorality, but ²³for the Lord, and ²⁴the Lord is for the body. 14 Now God has not only ²⁵raised the Lord, but ²⁶will also raise us up through His power. 15 ²⁷Do you not know that ²⁸your bodies are members of Christ ? Shall I then take away the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute ? ²⁹May it never be! 16 Or ³⁰do you not know that the one who joins himself to a prostitute is one body with her? For He says, "³¹THE TWO SHALL BECOME ONE FLESH." 17 But the one who joins himself to the Lord is ³²one spirit with Him. 18 ³³Flee immorality. Every other sin that a man commits is outside the body, but the ^jimmoral man sins against his own body. 19 Or ³⁴do you not know that ³⁵your body is a ^ktemple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from ^lGod, and that ³⁶you are not your own ? 20 For ³⁷you have been bought with a price : therefore glorify God in ³⁸your body.
