* Dare any of you , having a matter against another , be judged by the unrighteous , and not by the saints ? * Do you not know that the saints are to judge with world ? And if the world is to be judged by you , are you unworthy to decide your petty causes ? * Do you not know that we are to judge messengers ? Why not , then , things pertaining to this life ? * If , then , you have the cognizance of such matters , why do you set those to judge who are of no account in the congregation ? * For shame to you I say it ! So , then , there is not among you a wise man ; not even one , who shall be able to decide between his brethren ! * But brother with brother is judged , and that by infidels ! * Now , therefore , indeed , there is plainly a fault in you , that you have law-suits with one another . Why do you not rather bear the being defrauded ? * But you injure and defraud ; and that , too , your own brethren . * Do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God ? Be not deceived : neither fornicators , nor idolaters , nor adulterers , nor catamites , nor sodomites , * nor thieves , nor misers , nor drunkards , nor revilers , nor extortioners , shall inherit the kingdom of God . * And such were some of you ; but you are washed , but you are sanctified , but you are justified , by the name of the Lord Jesus , and by the Spirit of our God . * All meats are lawful for me to eat , but all are not proper : all meats are lawful for me to eat ; but I will not be enslaved by any meat . * Meats for the belly , and the belly for meats ; however , God will destroy both it and them . Now , the body was not made for uncleanness , but for the Lord , and the Lord for the body : * and God has both raised the Lord , and will raise up us by his own power . * Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ ? Shall , I , then , take the members of Christ and make them the members of a harlot ? By no means . * «What ! do you not know that he who is strongly attached to a harlot is one body ? for he says ,» 'The two shall be one flesh .' * But he , who is strongly attached to the Lord , is one spirit . * Flee uncleanness . Every sin which a man commits , is without the body : but he who commits uncleanness , sins against his own body . * What ! do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit , who is in you , whom you have from God ? * Besides , you are not your own ; for you are bought with a price : therefore , with your body glorify God .
