1 Corinthians 6:9-20

New American Standard Bible 1995

⁹ Or ^(A)do you not know that the unrighteous will not ^(B)inherit the kingdom of God? ^(C)Do not be deceived; ^(D)neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor ^[a]effeminate, nor homosexuals, ¹⁰ nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will ^(E)inherit the kingdom of God. ^11 (F)Such were some of you; but you were ^(G)washed, but you were ^(H)sanctified, but you were ^(I)justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.

The Body Is the Lord’s

^12 (J)All things are lawful for me, but not all things are profitable. All things are lawful for me, but I will not be mastered by anything. ^13 (K)Food is for the ^[b]stomach and the ^[c]stomach is for food, but God will ^(L)do away with both ^[d]of them. Yet the body is not for immorality, but ^(M)for the Lord, and ^(N)the Lord is for the body. ¹⁴ Now God has not only ^(O)raised the Lord, but ^(P)will also raise us up through His power. ^15 (Q)Do you not know that ^(R)your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take away the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? ^(S)May it never be! ¹⁶ Or ^(T)do you not know that the one who joins himself to a prostitute is one body with her? For He says, “^(U)The two shall become one flesh.” ¹⁷ But the one who joins himself to the Lord is ^(V)one spirit with Him. ^18 (W)Flee immorality. Every other sin that a man commits is outside the body, but the ^[e]immoral man sins against his own body. ¹⁹ Or ^(X)do you not know that ^(Y)your body is a ^[f]temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from ^[g]God, and that ^(Z)you are not your own? ²⁰ For ^(AA)you have been bought with a price: therefore glorify God in ^(AB)your body.
