6

Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.

But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.

What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh.

Know ye 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.

And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power.

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.

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

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

Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

Know ye 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,

Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, and that your brethren.

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

But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before the unbelievers.

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 brethren?

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

Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?

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

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

For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.

What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.

For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness.

I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness.

Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.

But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.

Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?

What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.

For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.

Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.

Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.
