1 Corinthians 6

Introduction

1  The Corinthians must not vex their brethren, in going to law with them;
6  especially under infidels.
9  The unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
15  Our bodies are the members of Christ, and temples of the Holy Ghost: they must not therefore be defiled.
