Dare any
of you, having a matter against another, go to
law before the unjust, and not before the saints?
02 Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the
world? and if the world shall be judged by you,
are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters?
03 Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how
much more things that pertain to this life?
04 If then ye have judgments of things pertaining
to this life, set them to judge who are least
esteemed in the church.
05 I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is
not a wise man among you? no, not one that shall
be able to judge between his brethren?
06 But brother goeth to law with brother, and
that before the unbelievers.
07 Now therefore there is utterly a fault among
you, because ye go to law one with another. Why
do ye not rather take wrong? why do ye not rather
suffer yourselves to be defrauded?
08 Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, and that your
brethren.
09 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not
inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived:
neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor
adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of
themselves with mankind,
10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor
revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the
kingdom of God.

11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed,
but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in
the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of
our God.
12 All things are lawful unto me, but all things
are not expedient: all things are lawful for me,
but I will not be brought under the power of any.
13 Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats:
but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the
body is not for fornication, but for the Lord;
and the Lord for the body.
14 And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will
also raise up us by his own power.
15 Know ye not that your bodies are the members
of Christ? shall I then take the members of
Christ, and make them the members of an harlot?
God forbid.
16 What? know ye not that he which is joined to
an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall
be one flesh.
17 But he that is joined unto the Lord is one
spirit.
18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth
is without the body; but he that committeth
fornication sinneth against his own body.
19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple
of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have
of God, and ye are not your own?
20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore
glorify God in your body, and in your spirit,
which are God's.
