|
| 3 Know ye not that we shall judge, messengers? and not, then, matters of this life? |
|
| 4 If, then, for matters of this, life ye have judgment-seats, them who are of no account in the assembly, these, are ye seating thereupon? |

|
| 9 Or know ye not that, wrong-doers, shall not inherit, God's kingdom? Be not deceiving yourselves:–neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor sodomites, |

| 15 Know ye not that, your bodies, are, members of Christ? Shall I, then, take away the members of the Christ and make them members of a harlot? Far be it! |
|
| 16 Or know ye not that, he that joineth himself unto the harlot, is, one body? For, saith he, the two, shall become, one flesh; |
|
| 17 But, he that joineth himself unto the Lord, is, one Spirit. |
