52 Week Bible Reading Plan

1 Corinthians 5

1

It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and of a kind that does not occur even among pagans: A man has his father's wife.

2

And you are proud! Shouldn't you rather have been filled with grief and have put out of your fellowship the man who did this?

3

Even though I am not physically present, I am with you in spirit. And I have already passed judgment on the one who did this, just as if I were present.

4

When you are assembled in the name of our Lord Jesus and I am with you in spirit, and the power of our Lord Jesus is present,

5

hand this man over to Satan, so that the sinful nature may be destroyed and his spirit saved on the day of the Lord.

6

Your boasting is not good. Don't you know that a little yeast works through the whole batch of dough?

7

Get rid of the old yeast that you may be a new batch without yeast--as you really are. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed.

8

Therefore let us keep the Festival, not with the old yeast, the yeast of malice and wickedness, but with bread without yeast, the bread of sincerity and truth.

9

I have written you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people--

10

not at all meaning the people of this world who are immoral, or the greedy and swindlers, or idolaters. In that case you would have to leave this world.

11

But now I am writing you that you must not associate with anyone who calls himself a brother but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or a slanderer, a drunkard or a swindler. With such a man do not even eat.

12

What business is it of mine to judge those outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside?

13

God will judge those outside. "Expel the wicked man from among you."

1 Corinthians 6

1

If any of you has a dispute with another, dare he take it before the ungodly for judgment instead of before the saints?

2

Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if you are to judge the world, are you not competent to judge trivial cases?

3

Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more the things of this life!

4

Therefore, if you have disputes about such matters, appoint as judges even men of little account in the church!

5

I say this to shame you. Is it possible that there is nobody among you wise enough to judge a dispute between believers?

6

But instead, one brother goes to law against another--and this in front of unbelievers!

7

The very fact that you have lawsuits among you means you have been completely defeated already. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be cheated?

8

Instead, you yourselves cheat and do wrong, and you do this to your brothers.

9

Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders

10

nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.

11

And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.

12

"Everything is permissible for me"--but not everything is beneficial. "Everything is permissible for me"--but I will not be mastered by anything.

13

"Food for the stomach and the stomach for food"--but God will destroy them both. The body is not meant for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.

14

By his power God raised the Lord from the dead, and he will raise us also.

15

Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ himself? Shall I then take the members of Christ and unite them with a prostitute? Never!

16

Do you not know that he who unites himself with a prostitute is one with her in body? For it is said, "The two will become one flesh."

17

But he who unites himself with the Lord is one with him in spirit.

18

Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a man commits are outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body.

19

Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own;

20

you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body.
