1 Corinthians 6:11-14

Lawsuits Against Believers

11 And y such were some of you. But z you were washed, a you were sanctified, b you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.

Flee Sexual Immorality

12 c "All things are lawful for me," but not all things are helpful. "All things are lawful for me," but I will not be enslaved by anything. 13 d "Food is meant for the stomach and the stomach for food" - and God will destroy both one e and the other. The body is not meant for sexual immorality, but f for the Lord, and g the Lord for the body. 14 And h God raised the Lord and i will also raise us up j by his power.
