I Corinthians Capítulo 6

This letter specifically addresses the problems that the Corinthian cruch was facing: dissension, immorality, problems with the form of public worship and confusion about the gifts of the Spirit.

American King James Version

6 : 1 Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints?

6 : 2 Do you not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters?

6 : 3 Know you not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?

6 : 4 If then you have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church.

6 : 5 I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you? no, not one that shall be able to judge between his brothers?

6 : 6 But brother goes to law with brother, and that before the unbelievers.

6 : 7 Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because you go to law one with another. Why do you not rather take wrong? why do you not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded?

6 : 8 No, you do wrong, and defraud, and that your brothers.

6 : 9 Know you not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,

6 : 10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortionists, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

6 : 11 And such were some of you: but you are washed, but you are sanctified, but you are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

6 : 12 All things are lawful to me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.

6 : 13 Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body.

6 : 14 And God has both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power.

6 : 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.

6 : 16 What? know you not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, said he, shall be one flesh.

6 : 17 But he that is joined to the Lord is one spirit.

6 : 18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man does is without the body; but he that commits fornication sins against his own body.

6 : 19 What? know you not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which you have of God, and you are not your own?

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