|

|
| 3 Do ye not know that we shall judge angels? and not then matters of this life? |
|
| 4 If then ye have judgments as to things of this life, set those to judge who are little esteemed in the assembly. |
|

|
| 15 Do ye not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then, taking the members of the Christ, make them members of a harlot? Far be the thought. |
|
| 16 Do ye not know that he that is joined to the harlot is one body? for the two, he says, shall be one flesh. |
|
| 17 But he that is joined to the Lord is one Spirit. |
|
| 18 Flee fornication. Every sin which a man may practise is without the body, but he that commits fornication sins against his own body. |
|
| 19 Do ye not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which ye have of God; and ye are not your own? |
