1 Corinthians 6 · Grade 4
Glorify God in Your Body
Read and Think
Believers in Corinth were suing one another before unbelieving judges. Paul is ashamed for them. He asks if there is not one wise person in the church able to settle the matter. He even says it would be better to be wronged than to harm a brother.
Paul reminds them that people who keep living in unrighteousness will not inherit God's Kingdom. But the good news follows. Some of them had lived that way, but they were washed, sanctified, and justified in the name of the Lord Jesus.
Some in Corinth thought the body did not matter to God. Paul disagrees. The body is for the Lord, and God will raise it by His power. The body is a temple of the Holy Spirit. Because believers were bought with a price, they should keep their bodies pure and glorify God in them.
