| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1If any of you has a grievance against another, how dare he go to law before the unrighteous instead of before the saints! |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if you are to judge the world, are you not competent to judge trivial cases? |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more the things of this life! |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4So if you need to settle everyday matters, do you appoint as judges those of no standing in the church? |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5I say this to your shame. Is there really no one among you wise enough to arbitrate between his brothers? |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6Instead, one brother goes to law against another, and this in front of unbelievers! |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7The very fact that you have lawsuits among you means that you are thoroughly defeated already. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be cheated? |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8Instead, you yourselves cheat and do wrong, even against your own brothers! |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who submit to or perform homosexual acts, |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor verbal abusers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God. |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God. |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12“Everything is permissible for me,” but not everything is beneficial. “Everything is permissible for me,” but I will not be mastered by anything. |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13“Food for the stomach and the stomach for food,” but God will destroy them both. The body is not intended for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body. |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14By His power God raised the Lord from the dead, and He will raise us also. |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and unite them with a prostitute? Never! |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16Or don’t you know that he who unites himself with a prostitute is one with her in body? For it is said, “The two will become one flesh.” |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17But he who unites himself with the Lord is one with Him in spirit. |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a man can commit is outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body. |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; |
| 20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20you were bought at a price. Therefore glorify God with your body. |
