6. But instead, does a brother or sister have a lawsuit against another brother or sister, and do they do this in front of unbelievers?
7. The fact that you have lawsuits against each other means that you’ve already lost your case. Why not be wronged instead? Why not be cheated?
8. But instead you are doing wrong and cheating—and you’re doing it to your own brothers and sisters.
9. Don’t you know that people who are unjust won’t inherit God’s kingdom? Don’t be deceived. Those who are sexually immoral, those who worship false gods, adulterers, both participants in same-sex intercourse,
10. thieves, the greedy, drunks, abusive people, and swindlers won’t inherit God’s kingdom.
11. That is what some of you used to be! But you were washed clean, you were made holy to God, and you were made right with God in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.
12. I have the freedom to do anything, but not everything is helpful. I have the freedom to do anything, but I won’t be controlled by anything.
13. Food is for the stomach and the stomach is for food, and yet God will do away with both. The body isn’t for sexual immorality but for the Lord, and the Lord is for the body.
14. God has raised the Lord and will raise us through his power.
15. Don’t you know that your bodies are parts of Christ? So then, should I take parts of Christ and make them a part of someone who is sleeping around? No way!
16. Don’t you know that anyone who is joined to someone who is sleeping around is one body with that person? The scripture says, The two will become one flesh.
