⁸ The Lord said to Joshua, “Do not be afraid^(A) of them; I have given them into your hand.^(B) Not one of them will be able to withstand you.”^(C)

⁹ After an all-night march from Gilgal, Joshua took them by surprise. ¹⁰ The Lord threw them into confusion^(D) before Israel,^(E) so Joshua and the Israelites defeated them completely at Gibeon.^(F) Israel pursued them along the road going up to Beth Horon^(G) and cut them down all the way to Azekah^(H) and Makkedah.^{(I) 11} As they fled before Israel on the road down from Beth Horon to Azekah, the Lord hurled large hailstones^(J) down on them,^(K) and more of them died from the hail than were killed by the swords of the Israelites.

¹² On the day the Lord gave the Amorites^(L) over to Israel, Joshua said to the Lord in the presence of Israel:

as it is written in the Book of Jashar.^(O)

The sun stopped^(P) in the middle of the sky and delayed going down about a full day. ¹⁴ There has never been a day like it before or since, a day when the Lord listened to a human being. Surely the Lord was fighting^(Q) for Israel!

¹⁵ Then Joshua returned with all Israel to the camp at Gilgal.^(R)

⁹ Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God?^(A) Do not be deceived:^(B) Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers^(C) nor men who have sex with men^{[a](D) 10} nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers^(E) will inherit the kingdom of God. ¹¹ And that is what some of you were.^(F) But you were washed,^(G) you were sanctified,^(H) you were justified^(I) in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.

¹⁸ Flee from sexual immorality.^(A) All other sins a person commits are outside the body, but whoever sins sexually, sins against their own body.^{(B) 19} Do you not know that your bodies are temples^(C) of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own;^{(D) 20} you were bought at a price.^(E) Therefore honor God with your bodies.^(F)
