Or 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 trivial cases?

Unchecked Copy Box1Co 6:3 -

Don’t you know that we will judge angels ​— ​how much more matters of this life?

Unchecked Copy Box1Co 6:4 -

So if you have such matters, do you appoint as your judges those who have no standing in the church?

Unchecked Copy Box1Co 6:5 -

Unchecked Copy Box1Co 6:6 -

Instead, you yourselves do wrong and cheat ​— ​and you do this to brothers and sisters!

Unchecked Copy Box1Co 6:9 -

Glorifying God in Body and Spirit

Unchecked Copy Box1Co 6:14 -

God raised up the Lord and will also raise us up by his power.

Unchecked Copy Box1Co 6:15 -

Don’t you know that your bodies are a part of Christ’s body? So should I take a part of Christ’s body and make it part of a prostitute? Absolutely not!

Unchecked Copy Box1Co 6:16 -

Don’t you know that anyone joined to a prostitute is one body with her? For Scripture says, The two will become one flesh.

Unchecked Copy Box1Co 6:17 -

But anyone joined to the Lord is one spirit with him.

Unchecked Copy Box1Co 6:18 -

Flee sexual immorality! Every other sin[fn] a person commits is outside the body, but the person who is sexually immoral sins against his own body.

Unchecked Copy Box1Co 6:19 -

Don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own,

Unchecked Copy Box1Co 6:20 -

for you were bought at a price. So glorify God with your body.[fn]
