Return to Index | Henry's Commentary |
Chapter 6 | |
1 | Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints? |
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?
|
3 | Know ye not that we shall judge
angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?
|
4 | If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church. |
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?
|
6 | But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before the unbelievers. |
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?
|
8 |
Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, and that your brethren.
|
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,
|
10 | Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. |
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.
|
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.
|
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.
|
14 | And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us
by his own power.
|
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. |
16 | What? know ye not that he
which is joined to an harlot is one body?
for two, saith he, shall be one
flesh.
|
17 | But he that is
joined unto the Lord is one spirit.
|
18 | Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the
body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.
|
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?
|
20 |
For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your
spirit, which are God's.
