| 1 | Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to be judged before the unjust, and not before the saints? |
| 2 | Know you not that the saints shall judge this world? And if the world shall be judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters? |
| 3 | Know you not that we shall judge angels? how much more things of this world? |
| 4 | If therefore you have judgments of things pertaining to this world, set them to judge, who are the most despised in the church. |
| 5 | I speak to your shame. Is it so that there is not among you any one wise man, that is able to judge between his brethren? |
| 6 | But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before unbelievers. |
| 7 | Already indeed there is plainly a fault among you, that you have lawsuits one with another. Why do you not rather take wrong? Why do you not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded? |
| 8 | But you do wrong and defraud, and that to your brethren. |
| 9 | Know you not that the unjust shall not possess the kingdom of God? Do not err: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, |
| 10 | Nor the effeminate, nor liers with mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor railers, nor extortioners, shall possess the kingdom of God. |
| 11 | And such some of you were; but you are washed, but you are sanctified, but you are justified in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the Spirit of our God. |
| 12 | All things are lawful to me, but all things are not expedient. All things are lawful to me, but I will not be brought under the power of any. |
| 13 | Meat for the belly, and the belly for the meats; but God shall destroy both it and them: but the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body. |
| 14 | Now God hath both raised up the Lord, and will raise us up also by his power. |
| 15 | Know you 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 | Or know you not, that he who is joined to a harlot, is made one body? For they shall be, saith he, two in one flesh. |
| 17 | But he who is joined to the Lord, is one spirit. |
| 18 | Fly fornication. Every sin that a man doth, is without the body; but he that committeth fornication, sinneth against his own body. |
| 19 | Or know you not, that your members are the temple of the Holy Ghost, who is in you, whom you have from God; and you are not your own? |
| 20 | For you are bought with a great price. Glorify and bear God in your body. |
