1st Corinthians

1. People are really saying that there is sexual sin among you. And it is such a bad kind of sexual sin that it does not happen even among those people that don?t know god. People say that a man there has his father’s wife. And still you are proud of yourselves! You should have been filled with sadness. And the man that did that sin should be put out of your group. My body is not there with you, but I am with you in spirit. And I have already judged the man who did that sin. I judged him the same as I would if I were really there. Come together in the name of our lord Jesus. I will be with you in spirit, and you will have the power of our lord Jesus with you. Then give this man to Satan, so that his sinful self will be destroyed. Then his spirit can be saves on the day of the lord. (1st Corinthians 5:1-5)

2. I wrote to you in my letter that you should not associate with people that sin sexually. But I did not mean that you should not associate with the sinful people of this world. Those people of the world sin sexually, or they are greedy and cheat each other, or they worship idols. To get away form those people you would have to leave this world. I am writing to tell you that the person you must not associate with is this: any person that calls himself a brother in Christ but sins sexually, or is greedy, or worships idols, or talk?s bad to people, or gets drunk, or cheats people. Don?t even eat with a person like that. (1st Corinthians 5:9-11)

3. It is not my business to judge those people that are not part of the church. God will judge those people. But you must judge the people that are part of the church. The scriptures say, ?Take the evil person out of your group.? (1st Corinthians 5:12-13)

4. The lawsuits that you have against each other show that you are already defeated. It would be better for you to let someone do wrong against you! But you yourselves do wrong and cheat! And you do this to other believers in Christ! Surely you know that he people that do wrong will not get God?s kingdom. Don?t be fooled. These people will not get God?s kingdom: people that sin sexually, people that worship idols, people that do the sin of adultery, men that let other men use them for sex or that have sex with other men, people that steal, people that are greedy, people that get drunk, people that say bad thing to other people, and people that cheat. In the past, some of you were like that. But you were washed clean, you were made holy, and you were made right with God in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the spirit of our God. (1st Corinthians 6:7-11)

5. ?All things are allowed for me.? But not all things are good. ?All things are allowed for me.? But I will not let anything be my master. ?Food is for the stomach, and the stomach for good.? Yes. And God will destroy them both. But the body is not for sexual sin. The body is for the Lord, and the Lord is for the body. And God will raise our bodies form death with the same power he used to raise the Lord Jesus. God will also raise us from death. Surely you know that your bodies are parts of Christ himself. So I must never take the parts of Christ and join those parts to prostitute! The scriptures say, ?The two people will become one.? So you should know that a person that sexually joins himself with a prostitute become one with her in body. But the person who joins himself with the Lord is one with the Lord in spirit. (1st Corinthians 6:12-16)

6. So run away form sexual sin. Every other sin that a person does is outside his body. But the person that sins sexually sin against his own body. You should know that your body is a temple for the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is in you. You have received the Holy Spirit form God. You don?t own your selves. You were bought by God at a price. So honor God with your bodies. (1st Corinthians 6:18-20)

7. Now I will discuss the things you wrote\ to me about. It is good for a man not to marry. But sexual sin is danger. So each man should have his own wife. And each woman should have her own husband. The husband shoul
