Lawsuits in
the Holy Bible

--1 Corinthians--

Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints? (6:1)

Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters? (6:2)

Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life? (6:3)

If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church. (6:4)

I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you? no, not one that shall be able to judge between his brethren? (6:5)

But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before the unbelievers. (6:6)

Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law one with another. Why do ye not rather take wrong? why do ye not rather [suffer yourselves to] be defrauded? (6:7)

Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, and that [your] brethren. (6:8)

Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, (6:9)

Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. (6:10)

And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God. (6:11)

All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any. (6:12)

Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body [is] not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body. (6:13)

And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power. (6:14)

Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make [them] the members of an harlot? God forbid. (6:15)

What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh. (6:16)

But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit. (6:17)

Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. (6:18)

What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost [which is] in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? (6:19)

For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's. (6:20)
