Lawsuits among Believers 1DARE any of you, having a matter of controversy with another, sue for judgment before the unjust, and not before the saints?
2Know ye not that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to be judges in the smallest matters?
3Know ye not that we shall judge angels, much more things pertaining to this life?
7Now verily therefore there is altogether a fault among you, because ye have law-suits one with another. Why do ye not rather submit to the wrong? Why do ye not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded?
8But ye do wrong and defraud, and that the brethren. Members of Christ 9Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor sodomites,
10nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
11Yet such were some of you: but ye have been washed, but ye have been sanctified, but ye have been justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the spirit of our God.
12All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient; all things are lawful for me, but I will not put myself under the power of any.
13Meats are for the belly, and the belly for meats; but God will destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for whoredom, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.
14And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will raise us up by his own power. The Temple of the Holy Spirit 18Flee whoredom. Every other sin which a man may commit is without the body; but he who committeth whoredom sinneth against his own body.
19Do ye not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost, which is in you, which ye have from God, and ye are not your own?
20For ye have been bought with a price: glorify then God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God?s. A Translation of the New Testament from the original Greek Thomas Haweis 1795 Digital Text Courtesy TheWord.net Bible Software. Section Headings Courtesy Berean Bible. |
