1 Corinthians 6 Summary

Paul addresses believers taking disputes to pagan courts rather than settling matters among themselves as saints. He reminds them that saints will judge the world and even angels, so they should be able to judge small matters. He rebukes them for going to law with one another before unbelievers and exhorts them to accept wrong and defraud rather than pursue litigation. Paul lists those who will not inherit God's kingdom—the unrighteous, fornicators, idolaters, adulterers, thieves, covetous, drunkards—but reminds them they have been washed, sanctified, and justified in Christ. He emphasizes that the body is a member of Christ and the temple of the Holy Ghost, bought with a price, so they must glorify God in their body.
