Murdock - I Corinthians - 6

6:1  Dare any of you, when he hath a controversy with his brother, litigate before the iniquitous, and not before the sanctified?

6:2  Or know ye not, that the sanctified will judge the world? And if the world will be judged by you, are ye unfit to decide trivial causes?

6:3  Know ye not, that we shall judge angels? How much more things that are of the world?

6:4  But if ye have a controversy about a worldly matter, seat ye on the bench for you those who are contemned in the church!

6:5  For shame to you I say it. So, there is not even one wise man among you, who is competent to do equity between a brother and his brother:

6:6  but a brother litigateth with his brother, and also before them that believe not!

6:7  Now therefore ye condemn yourselves, in that ye have litigation one with another. For why do ye not rather suffer wrong? why not rather be defrauded?

6:8  But ye yourselves commit wrong, and ye defraud even your brethren.

6:9  Or do ye not know, that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not mistake; neither whoremongers, nor idol-worshippers, nor adulterers, nor debauchers, nor liers with males,

6:10  nor the avaricious, nor thieves, nor drunkards, nor railers, nor extortioners, will inherit the kingdom of God.

6:11  And these things have been in some of you: but ye are washed, and are sanctified, and made righteous, in the name of our Lord Jesus the Messiah, and by the Spirit of our God.

6:12  Every thing is in my power : but every thing is not profitable to me. Every thing is in my power; but none of them shall have dominion over me.

6:13  Food is for the belly; and the belly is for food; but God will bring them both to naught. But the body is not for whoredom, but for our Lord; and our Lord for the body.

6:14  And God hath raised up our Lord; and he will raise us up, by his power.

6:15  Know ye not, that your bodies are the members of the Messiah? Shall one take a member of the Messiah, and make it the member of a harlot? Far be it.

6:16  Or know ye not, that whoever joineth himself to a harlot, is one body with her? For it is said, They twain shall be one body.

6:17  But he that joineth himself to our Lord, is with him one spirit.

6:18  Flee whoredom. For every other sin which a man committeth, is external to his body; but he that committeth whoredom, sinneth against his own body.

6:19  Or know ye not, that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who abideth in you, whom ye have received from God? And ye are not your own.

6:20  For ye are bought with a price. Therefore, glorify ye God, with your body, and with your spirit, which are God's.
