1 Corinthians 5

Unchecked Copy Box1Co 5:1 - It is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one should have his father's wife.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 5:2 - And ye are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he that hath done this deed might be taken away from among you.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 5:3 - For I verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged already, as though I were present, concerning him that hath so done this deed,
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 5:4 - In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 5:5 - To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 5:6 - Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 5:7 - Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 5:8 - Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 5:9 - I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators:
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 5:10 - Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 5:11 - But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 5:12 - For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within?
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 5:13 - But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.

1 Corinthians 6

Unchecked Copy Box1Co 6:1 - Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints?
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 6:2 - 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?
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 6:3 - Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 6:4 - If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 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 brethren?
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 6:6 - But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before the unbelievers.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 6:7 - 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?
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 6:8 - Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, and that your brethren.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 6:9 - 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,
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 6:10 - Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 6:11 - 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.

The Body Is the Lord's

Unchecked Copy Box1Co 6:12 - 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.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 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.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 6:14 - And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 6:15 - 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.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 6:16 - What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 6:17 - But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 6:18 - Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 6:19 - What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 6:20 - For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.

1 Corinthians 7

Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:1 - Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:2 - Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:3 - Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:4 - The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:5 - Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:6 - But I speak this by permission, and not of commandment.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:7 - For I would that all men were even as I myself. But every man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner, and another after that.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:8 - I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:9 - But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:10 - And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband:
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:11 - But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:12 - But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:13 - And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:14 - For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:15 - But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:16 - For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy wife?
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:17 - But as God hath distributed to every man, as the Lord hath called every one, so let him walk. And so ordain I in all churches.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:18 - Is any man called being circumcised? let him not become uncircumcised. Is any called in uncircumcision? let him not be circumcised.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:19 - Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:20 - Let every man abide in the same calling wherein he was called.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:21 - Art thou called being a servant? care not for it: but if thou mayest be made free, use it rather.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:22 - For he that is called in the Lord, being a servant, is the Lord's freeman: likewise also he that is called, being free, is Christ's servant.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:23 - Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:24 - Brethren, let every man, wherein he is called, therein abide with God.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:25 - Now concerning virgins I have no commandment of the Lord: yet I give my judgment, as one that hath obtained mercy of the Lord to be faithful.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:26 - I suppose therefore that this is good for the present distress, I say, that it is good for a man so to be.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:27 - Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:28 - But and if thou marry, thou hast not sinned; and if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned. Nevertheless such shall have trouble in the flesh: but I spare you.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:29 - But this I say, brethren, the time is short: it remaineth, that both they that have wives be as though they had none;
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:30 - And they that weep, as though they wept not; and they that rejoice, as though they rejoiced not; and they that buy, as though they possessed not;
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:31 - And they that use this world, as not abusing it: for the fashion of this world passeth away.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:32 - But I would have you without carefulness. He that is unmarried careth for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord:
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:33 - But he that is married careth for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:34 - There is difference also between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman careth for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married careth for the things of the world, how she may please her husband.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:35 - And this I speak for your own profit; not that I may cast a snare upon you, but for that which is comely, and that ye may attend upon the Lord without distraction.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:36 - But if any man think that he behaveth himself uncomely toward his virgin, if she pass the flower of her age, and need so require, let him do what he will, he sinneth not: let them marry.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:37 - Nevertheless he that standeth stedfast in his heart, having no necessity, but hath power over his own will, and hath so decreed in his heart that he will keep his virgin, doeth well.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:38 - So then he that giveth her in marriage doeth well; but he that giveth her not in marriage doeth better.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:39 - The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:40 - But she is happier if she so abide, after my judgment: and I think also that I have the Spirit of God.

1 Corinthians 8

Unchecked Copy Box1Co 8:1 - Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 8:2 - And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 8:3 - But if any man love God, the same is known of him.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 8:4 - As concerning therefore the eating of those things that are offered in sacrifice unto idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is none other God but one.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 8:5 - For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,)
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 8:6 - But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 8:7 - Howbeit there is not in every man that knowledge: for some with conscience of the idol unto this hour eat it as a thing offered unto an idol; and their conscience being weak is defiled.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 8:8 - But meat commendeth us not to God: for neither, if we eat, are we the better; neither, if we eat not, are we the worse.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 8:9 - But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to them that are weak.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 8:10 - For if any man see thee which hast knowledge sit at meat in the idol's temple, shall not the conscience of him which is weak be emboldened to eat those things which are offered to idols;
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 8:11 - And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died?
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 8:12 - But when ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 8:13 - Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend.
