1 When one of you has a grievance against another, does he dare go to law before the unrighteous instead of the saints?
2 Don't you know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world is judged by you, are you incompetent to judge the smallest matters?
3 Don't you know that we will judge angels? How much more, then, things that pertain to this life?
4 If then, you have to judge things pertaining to this life, do you set them to judge who have no standing in the church?
5 I say this to move you to shame. Can it be that there is no one among you wise enough to settle a dispute between the brothers?
6 But brother goes to law with brother, and that before unbelievers!
7 To have lawsuits at all with one another is already a defeat for you. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be defrauded?
8 No, but you yourselves do wrong, and defraud, and that against your brothers.
9 Or don't you know that the unrighteous will not inherit the Kingdom of God? Don't be deceived. Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor male prostitutes, nor homosexuals, Mat.10:15
10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor slanderers, nor extortioners, will inherit the Kingdom of God.
11 Such were some of you, but you were washed. But you were sanctified. But you were justified in the name of the Lord Yesous, and in the Spirit of our God.
12 "All things are lawful for me," but not all things are helpful. "All things are lawful for me," but I will not be dominated by anything.
13 "Foods for the belly, and the belly for foods," but God will destroy both it and them. The body is not meant for sexual immorality, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body.
14 Now God raised up the Lord, and will also raise us up by his power.
15 Don't you know that your bodies are members of the Anointed One? Shall I then take the members of the Anointed One, and make them members of a prostitute? May it never be!
16 Or don't you know that he who is joined to a prostitute is one body? For, as it is written, "The two will become one flesh."
17 But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit.
18 Flee sexual immorality! Every other sin that a person commits is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body.
19 Or don't you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own,
20 for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's.
