mnt - 1Corinthians:5-6

mnt@1Corinthians:5:1 @ It is actually reported that there is immorality among you, and such immorality as is not even among the heathen - that a man has taken his fathers wife!

mnt@1Corinthians:5:2 @ Yet you are puffed up instead of mourning and removing from among you the man who has done this thing.

mnt@1Corinthians:5:3 @ For I, although absent in body, yet present in spirit, have already passed sentence, by the authority of our Lord Jesus Christ, on him who has done this thing.

mnt@1Corinthians:5:4 @ When you are gathered together, and my spirit is with you together with the power of our Lord Jesus,

mnt@1Corinthians:5:5 @ I have handed over such a man to Satan for the destruction of his flesh, that his spirit may be saved, in the day of the Lord Jesus.

mnt@1Corinthians:5:6 @ Your glorying is not good. Do you not know that even a little leaven leavens all the lump?

mnt@1Corinthians:5:7 @ Then get rid of the old leaven, so that you may be like a new lump, as you are now unleavened. For our Paschal Lamb has already been sacrificed, Christ himself.

mnt@1Corinthians:5:8 @ So let us keep the unending feast, not with any old leaven, neither with leaven of malice and vice, but with unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

mnt@1Corinthians:5:9 @ I told you in my letter not to associate with the immoral.

mnt@1Corinthians:5:10 @ Not that in this world you were actually to have no contact with the immoral, the avaricious, the thievish, or with idolaters; for then you would have to leave the world, altogether.

mnt@1Corinthians:5:11 @ But what I wrote was that you were not to associate with any so- called brother who is immoral, or avaricious, or idolatrous, or abusive, or a drunkard, or an extortioner. No, with such persons do not even sit at table.

mnt@1Corinthians:5:12 @ What have I to do with the judging of outsiders? Must not you judge those who are within the church, while God judges outsiders?

mnt@1Corinthians:5:13 @ Expel that wicked man from among you.

mnt@1Corinthians:6:1 @ Dare any one of you who has a grievance against his neighbor go to law before heathen judges, instead of before the saints?

mnt@1Corinthians:6:2 @ Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world is to be tried by you, are you unfit to try such trifling cases?

mnt@1Corinthians:6:3 @ Do you not know that we are to try angels? How much more, then, the affairs of life.

mnt@1Corinthians:6:4 @ Why then, if you have cases relating to earthly affairs which need to be decided, is it men who are absolutely nothing in the church whom you make your judges?

mnt@1Corinthians:6:5 @ I say this to shame you. Is it so that there is not among you a single wise man, capable of deciding between a man and his brother?

mnt@1Corinthians:6:6 @ Must brother go to law with brother, and that, too, before unbelievers?

mnt@1Corinthians:6:7 @ Indeed, to say nothing more, the fact that you have lawsuits with one another is altogether a defect in you. Why not rather suffer injustice? Why not rather endure being cheated?

mnt@1Corinthians:6:8 @ On the contrary, you yourselves are inflicting injustice and fraud, and that upon your brothers.

mnt@1Corinthians:6:9 @ Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. None who are immoral, or idolaters, or adulterers, or catamites, or sodomites,

mnt@1Corinthians:6:10 @ or thieves, or avaricious men, or drunkards, or foul-mouthed men, or extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God.

mnt@1Corinthians:6:11 @ Such were some of you, but you have washed away your stains, you have been consecrated, you have been justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and in the Spirit of our God.

mnt@1Corinthians:6:12 @ "All things are lawful for me"? Yes, but not all things are good for me. "All things are lawful for me"? Yes, but I will not let myself be enslaved by the power of any.

mnt@1Corinthians:6:13 @ "Food is meant for the stomach, and the stomach for food"? Yes, but God will soon put an end both to the one and to the other. The body, however, exists not for immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body;

mnt@1Corinthians:6:14 @ and the God who raised up our Lord will up-raise us also by his mighty power.

mnt@1Corinthians:6:15 @ You know, do you not, that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them members of a harlot? God forbid!

mnt@1Corinthians:6:16 @ Do you not know that he who joins himself to a harlot is one with her in body? (For God says, The two shall become one flesh.)

mnt@1Corinthians:6:17 @ While a man who is united with the Lord is one with Him in spirit?

mnt@1Corinthians:6:18 @ Flee from immorality. Every other sin that a man commits lies outside the body, but the immoral man sins against his own body.

mnt@1Corinthians:6:19 @ Do you not know that your body is a sanctuary of the Holy Spirit who is within you, the Spirit whom you have from God?

mnt@1Corinthians:6:20 @ You are not your own; for you have been bought with a price, therefore glorify God in your bodies.

mnt@1Corinthians:7:1 @ Now concerning the question in your letter. It is well for a man to have no intercourse with a woman,
