Lawsuits Among Believers

1 Does any ^G5100 one ^G5100 of you, when he has ^G2192 a [fn]case ^G4229 against ^G4314 another ^G2087, dare ^G5111 to be ^G2919 tried ^G2919 before ^G1909 the unrighteous ^G94 and not before ^G1909 the [fn]saints ^G40?

2 Or ^G2228 do you not know ^G6063 that the [fn]saints ^G40 will judge ^G2919 the world ^G2889? If ^G1487 the world ^G2889 is judged ^G2919 by you, are you not ^G370 worthy ^G370 to [fn]constitute the smallest ^G1646 law ^G2922 courts ^G2922? 3 Do you not know ^G6063 that we will judge ^G2919 angels ^G32? How ^G3386 much ^G3386 more ^G3386 matters ^G982 of ^G982 this ^G982 life ^G982? 4 So ^G3767 if ^G1437 you have ^G2192 law ^G2922 courts ^G2922 dealing with matters ^G982 of ^G982 this ^G982 life ^G982, do you appoint ^G2523 those who are of no ^G1848 account ^G1848 in the church ^G1577 as judges? 5 I say ^G3004 this to your shame ^G1791. Is it really this ^G3779 way ^G3779: there ^G1762 is ^G1762 not one ^G3762 wise ^G4680 man ^G4680 among ^G1722 you who ^G3739 will be able ^G1410 to pass ^G1252 judgment ^G1252 between ^G303 G3319 his brothers ^G80? 6 On the contrary, brother ^G80 is tried ^G2919 with brother ^G80, and that before ^G1909 unbelievers ^G571!

7 Actually ^G3654, then ^G3767, it is already ^G2235 a failure ^G2275 for you, that you have ^G2192 lawsuits ^G2917 with one ^G1438 another ^G1438. Why ^G1223 G5101 not rather ^G3123 be wronged ^G91? Why ^G1223 G5101 not rather ^G3123 be defrauded ^G650? 8 On the contrary ^G235, you yourselves ^G4771 wrong ^G91 and defraud ^G650. You do this ^G3778 even ^G2532 to your brothers ^G80.

9 Or ^G2228 do you not know ^G6063 that the unrighteous ^G94 will not inherit ^G2816 the kingdom ^G932 of God ^G2316? Do not be deceived ^G4105; neither ^G3777 the sexually ^G4205 immoral ^G4205, nor ^G3777 idolaters ^G1496, nor ^G3777 adulterers ^G3432, nor ^G3777 [fn]effeminate ^G3120, nor ^G3777 homosexuals ^G733, 10 nor ^G3777 thieves ^G2812, nor ^G3777 the greedy ^G4123, nor ^G3756 drunkards ^G3183, nor ^G3756 revilers ^G3060, nor ^G3756 swindlers ^G727, will inherit ^G2816 the kingdom ^G932 of God ^G2316. 11 And such ^G3778 were some ^G5100 of you; but you were washed ^G628, but you were sanctified ^G37, but you were justified ^G1344 in the name ^G3686 of the Lord ^G2962 Jesus ^G2424 Christ ^G5547 and in the Spirit ^G4151 of our God ^G2316.

Flee Sexual Immorality

12 All ^G3956 things ^G3956 are lawful ^G1832 for me, but not all ^G3956 things ^G3956 are ^G4851 profitable ^G4851. All ^G3956 things ^G3956 are lawful ^G1832 for me, but I will not be mastered ^G1850 by anything ^G5100.

13 Food ^G1033 is for the [fn]stomach ^G2836 and the [fn]stomach ^G2836 is for food ^G1033, but God ^G2316 will do ^G2673 away ^G2673 with ^G2673 both ^G2532 [fn]of them. Yet ^G1161 the body ^G4983 is not for sexual ^G4202 immorality ^G4202, but for the Lord ^G2962, and the Lord ^G2962 is for the body ^G4983. 14 Now ^G1161 God ^G2316 has not only ^G2532 raised ^G1453 the Lord ^G2962, but will also ^G2532 raise ^G1825 us up ^G1825 through ^G1223 His power ^G1411. 15 Do you not know ^G6063 that your bodies ^G4983 are members ^G3196 of Christ ^G5547? Shall I then ^G3767 take ^G142 away ^G142 the members ^G3196 of Christ ^G5547 and make ^G4160 them members ^G3196 of a prostitute ^G4204? May it never ^G3361 be! 16 Or ^G2228 do you not know ^G6063 that the one who joins ^G2853 himself to a prostitute ^G4204 is one ^G1520 body ^G4983 with her? For He says ^G5346, “THE TWO ^G1417 SHALL BECOME ^G1510 G1519 ONE ^G1520 FLESH ^G4561.” 17 But the one who joins ^G2853 himself to the Lord ^G2962 is one ^G1520 spirit ^G4151 with Him. 18 Flee ^G5343 sexual ^G4202 immorality ^G4202. Every ^G3956 other sin ^G265 that a man ^G444 commits ^G4160 is outside ^G1622 the body ^G4983, but the [fn]sexually ^G4203 immoral ^G4203 man sins ^G264 against ^G1519 his own ^G2398 body ^G4983. 19 Or ^G2228 do you not know ^G6063 that your body ^G4983 is a [fn]sanctuary ^G3485 of the Holy ^G40 Spirit ^G4151 who is in you, whom ^G3739 you have ^G2192 from [fn]God ^G2316, and that you are not your own ^G1438? 20 For you were bought ^G59 with a price ^G5092: therefore ^G1211 glorify ^G1392 God ^G2316 in your body ^G4983.
