(If) any of you has a grievance against - another , how dare he go to law before the unrighteous (instead of) ... before the saints !
- vvv Do you not know that the saints will judge the world ? And if - you are to judge the world , vvv are you not competent ( to judge ) trivial cases ?
vvv Do you not know that we will judge angels ? How much more the things of this life !
So if - you need to settle everyday matters , do you appoint (as Judges -) those - of no standing in the church ?
I say this to your vvv shame. Is there really no one among you wise (enough) ... ... to arbitrate - between his - brothers ?
Instead , (one) brother goes to law against (another) , and this in front of unbelievers !
- vvv The 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 ?
Instead , you yourselves cheat and do wrong , even (against your own) brothers !
vvv vvv Do you not know that (the) wicked vvv 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 - ,
nor thieves , nor the greedy , nor drunkards , nor verbal abusers , nor swindlers , will inherit (the) kingdom of God.
And 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.
“ Everything is permissible for me , ” but not everything is beneficial. “ Everything is permissible for me , ” but I vvv will not be mastered by anything.
“ - 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.
- By His - power - God - raised the Lord {from the dead} , and He will raise us (also) ....
vvv Do you not know that your - bodies are members of Christ ? vvv Shall I then take the members - of Christ and unite (them) ... with a prostitute ? vvv Never !
Or vvv 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.”
But he who unites himself with the Lord is one (with Him) (in) spirit.
Flee from - sexual immorality. Every (other) sin - a man vvv can commit is outside (his) body , but he who sins sexually sins against (his) own body.
- vvv Do 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 ;
- you were bought at a price. Therefore glorify - God with your - body.
