Lawsuits among Believers

6When any of you has a grievance against another, do you dare to take it to court before the unrighteous, instead of taking it before the saints?G5111G5100G5216G2192G4229G4314G2087G2919G1909G94G2532G3780G1909G40 2Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world is to be judged by you, are you incompetent to try trivial cases?G1492G3756G1492G3754G40G2919G2889G2532G1487G2889G2919G1722G5213G2075G370G2922G1646 3Do you not know that we are to judge angels—to say nothing of ordinary matters?G1492G3756G3754G2919G32G3386G1065G982 4If you have ordinary cases, then, do you appoint as judges those who have no standing in the church?G1437G3303G3767G2192G2922G982G2523G5128G1848G1722G1577 5I say this to your shame. Can it be that there is no one among you wise enough to decide between one believer and another,G3004G4314G5213G1791G3779G2076G3756G4680G1722G5213G3761G1520G3739G1410G1252G303G3319G846G80 6but a believer goes to court against a believer—and before unbelievers at that?G235G80G2919G3326G80G2532G5124G1909G571 7In fact, to have lawsuits at all with one another is already a defeat for you. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be defrauded?G2235G3303G3767G2076G3654G2275G1722G5213G3754G2192G2917G3326G1438G1302G91G3780G3123G91G1302G650G3780G3123G650 8But you yourselves wrong and defraud—and believers at that.G235G5210G91G2532G650G2532G5023G80 9Do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived! Fornicators, idolaters, adulterers, male prostitutes, sodomites,G2228G1492G3756G3754G94G2816G3756G2816G932G2316G4105G3361G4105G3777G4205G3777G1496G3777G3432G3777G3120G3777G733 10thieves, the greedy, drunkards, revilers, robbers—none of these will inherit the kingdom of God.G3777G2812G3777G4123G3777G3183G3756G3060G3756G727G3756G2816G932G2316 11And this is what some of you used to be. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.G2532G5023G2258G5100G235G628G235G37G235G1344G1722G3686G2962G2424G2532G1722G4151G2257G2316

Glorify God in Body and Spirit

12"All things are lawful for me," but not all things are beneficial. "All things are lawful for me," but I will not be dominated by anything.G3956G1832G3427G235G3956G4851G3756G4851G3956G1832G3427G235G1473G1850G3756G1850G5259G5100 13"Food is meant for the stomach and the stomach for food," and God will destroy both one and the other. The body is meant not for fornication but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.G1033G2836G2532G2836G1033G1161G2316G2673G2532G5026G2532G5023G1161G4983G3756G4202G235G2962G2532G2962G4983 14And God raised the Lord and will also raise us by his power.G1161G2316G1453G2532G1453G2962G2532G1825G2532G1825G2248G1223G846G1411 15Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Should I therefore take the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? Never!G1492G3756G3754G5216G4983G2076G3196G5547G142G3767G142G3196G5547G4160G3196G4204G3361G1096 16Do you not know that whoever is united to a prostitute becomes one body with her? For it is said, "The two shall be one flesh."G2228G1492G3756G3754G2853G4204G2076G1520G4983G1063G1417G5346G2071G1519G3391G4561 17But anyone united to the Lord becomes one spirit with him.G1161G2853G2962G2076G1520G4151 18Shun fornication! Every sin that a person commits is outside the body; but the fornicator sins against the body itself.G5343G4202G3956G265G3739G1437G444G4160G2076G1622G4983G1161G4203G264G1519G2398G4983 19Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, which you have from God, and that you are not your own?G2228G1492G3756G3754G5216G4983G2076G3485G40G4151G1722G5213G3739G2192G575G2316G2532G2075G3756G1438 20For you were bought with a price; therefore glorify God in your body.G1063G59G5092G1211G1392G2316G1722G5216G4983G2532G1722G5216G4151G3748G2076G2316
