FLEE FROM SEXUAL IMMORALITY / 1 CORINTHIANS 6:18

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) 1 Corinthians 6:18

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

FLEE FROM SEXUAL IMMORALITY / 1 CORINTHIANS 6:18

Sexual sins involving believers are particularly offensive to God and destructive to individuals and the church, not only because multiple lives are affected, but also because such sins defile the body – the temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:15-20). That is why Paul gives such a strong warning to stay away from activities and situations that could even entice a person to think or behave in a sexually immoral way (2 Timothy 2:22). The use of the present tense here indicates that the Christian bust deliberately and repeatedly to avoid situations that might tempt him or her to defy God in this way (Genesis 39:12).

MEMBERS OF CHRIST / 1 CORINTHIANS 6:15

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) 1 Corinthians 6:15

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.

MEMBERS OF CHRIST / 1 CORINTHIANS 6:15

The believer’s entire being – body and spirit – is part of his or her relationship to Christ and to the church body. This fact speaks of the dignity Christ desires for our physical bodies. Sexually immoral conduct, however, robs the body of its dignity and dishonors Christ in the process. In his warning against moral carelessness, Paul describes the terrible consequences of sexual misconduct for the believer. When one joins his or her body to an immoral person, it causes the two to become one (1 Corinthians 6:16; Genesis 2:24; Matthew 19:5), which violates lives that Christ died to purify (1 Corinthians 6:15) and separates people from God’s kingdom purposes (1 Corinthians 6:9-10). Not only is sexual activity outside of marriage an extreme act of rebellion and dishonor against God’s plans for the marriage union, but it also robs people of union with Christ by making their bodies part of an unholy union. (In Corinth, the union would involve the prostitutes who were often dedicated to the service of Aphrodite, the goddess of love and sex).

NOT MEANT FOR SEXUAL IMMORALITY / 1 CORINTHIANS 6:13

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) 1 Corinthians 6:13

 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.

NOT MEANT FOR SEXUAL IMMORALITY / 1 CORINTHIANS 6:13

In 1 Corinthians 6:12-13 Paul is again quoting some of the Corinthians who felt that they had a right to do as they pleased – especially in relation to their physical bodies. They claimed that physical acts like eating have nothing to do with one’s spiritual life, and they applied the same faulty reasoning to sexual promiscuity (sexual activity outside of marriage). But Paul declares that the whole person, including the body, is meant to honor God. This is particularly true in relation to sex, which God gave as a beautiful and loving gift when exercised according to His plan (Hebrews 13:4).

EVERTHING IS PERMISSIBLE FOR ME / 1 CORINTHIANS 6:12

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) 1 Corinthians 6:12

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.

EVERTHING IS PERMISSIBLE FOR ME / 1 CORINTHIANS 6:12

This statement is clearly a quotation of an argument used by Paul’s opponents concerning their Christian freedom. They thought they had the right to do whatever they wished. Paul clearly taught, however, that there are things that are not permissible for believers (1 Corinthians 6:9-10, 18).

JUSTIFIED … BY THE SPIRIT / 1 CORINTHIANS 6:11

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) 1 Corinthians 6:11

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.

JUSTIFIED … BY THE SPIRIT / 1 CORINTHIANS 6:11

Justification (being made right with God, declared “not guilty” in relation to God) involves not only the redeeming (spiritually saving and restoring) work of the Lord Jesus, but also the work of the Spirit of God in the believer’s life.

THE WICKED WILL NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM / 1 CORINTHIANS 6:9-10

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) 1 Corinthians 6:9-10

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

THE WICKED WILL NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM / 1 CORINTHIANS 6:9-10

THE WICKED WILL NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM

Some in Corinth were deceived into believing that even if they were unfaithful to Christ, abandoning their relationship with Him and defying Him through immoral or unjust behavior, their salvation and inheritance in God’s kingdom were still secure. 

  1. However, Paul affirms that spiritual death is the sure and final result of habitual sin, even for those who were believers at one time (Romans 8:13). No one can live for selfish or immoral pleasure and still have a part in God’s eternal kingdom (Romans 6:16; James 1:15; 1 John 2:4; 1 John 3:9). Paul repeats this foundational teaching often (Galatians 5:21 and Ephesians 5:5; Ephesians 5:6). Notice that this principle was frequently communicated by the Old Testament prophets (Jeremiah 8:7; 23:17; Ezekiel 3:10).
  2. Paul’s warning is directed to the whole Christian community. We must not be deceived: those who are “wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God.” Any “salvation” that does not include the life-transforming, spiritually purifying and character-building work of the Holy Spirit is not genuine and has no place in New Testament teaching.

BEFORE THE UNGODLY / 1 CORINTHIANS 6:1

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) 1 Corinthians 6:1

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

BEFORE THE UNGODLY / 1 CORINTHIANS 6:1

When Christians disagree on trivial or insignificant issues (1 Corinthians 6:2), they should be settled within the church and not in courts of law. The church must be capable of judging the right or wrong involved, making a fair decision and exercising godly discipline, if needed (Matthew 18:15).

  1. This teaching does not mean that a Christian may not use courts in serious cases with unbelievers. Paul himself appealed to the judicial system more than once (Acts 16:37-39; 25:10-12).
  2. By implying that Christians might sometimes be better off overlooking others’ offenses against them (1 Corinthians 6:7), Paul is certainly not encouraging church members to unlawfully abuse or mistreat the innocent, such as widows, children or the disadvantaged. Rather, Paul was speaking of issues where there was not a clear answer to the offense. Openly harmful actions must not be tolerated, but offenses within the church body should be handled according to Christ’s instruction in Matthew 18:15-17.
  3. In addition, in cases where a “brother” who is no longer faithful in his relationship with God has divorced or deserted his family and refuses to support his wife and children, a mother with the right motives and concern for her kids may take action in the courts. Paul is not advocating that those who neglect their social or civil responsibilities or who break the law be allowed to cheat and threaten the life or well-being of others. His statement in 1 Corinthians 6:8 indicates he is speaking of minor disputes where the offense could be excused and tolerated.

JUDGE THOSE INSIDE / 1 CORINTHIANS 5:10-12

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) 1 Corinthians 5:10-12

 Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world. 11 But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolator, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat. 12 For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within?

JUDGE THOSE INSIDE / 1 CORINTHIANS 5:10-12

While Christians are to take a stand against evil and avoid the ungodly practices of the world, their judgment is not to be aimed at those outside of the church (1 Corinthians 5:10), who are still caught up in sinful behavior. Those whom church members are to judge and restrict their contact with are individuals within the church (1 Corinthians 5:9, 11) who claim to follow Christ but dishonor Him with their openly immoral behavior. While Christians must not unjustly criticize other Christians (Matthew 7:1-5), they must still hold each other accountable to the standard of God’s Word when serious sin or persistent ungodly conduct is involved. Such wicked actions demand judgment and discipline for the sake of the person involved, as well as the purity and influence of the church on those who do not know Christ (1 Corinthians 5:1).

LITTLE YEAST WORKS THROUGH THE WHOLE BATCH / 1 CORINTHIANS 5:6

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) 1 Corinthians 5:6

Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?

LITTLE YEAST WORKS THROUGH THE WHOLE BATCH / 1 CORINTHIANS 5:6

Paul uses a comparison between a common element that they all knew of and the spiritual principle that the church needs to learn about purity and discipline in the church. He uses the example of yeast being forbidden when preparing the bread to be eaten at the Passover Feast (Exodus 12:15). In the Bible, “yeast” (which brings about a reaction that causes change) is often mentioned as a symbol of evil or sin. Like the yeast, sin is able to spread through an entire church congregation or Christian community and corrupt its commitment to truth and authentic spiritual life (Galatians 5:7-9; Exodus 13:7; Mark 8:15). Any church that does not take radical action against sexual immorality among its members will find the influence of evil spreading throughout the congregation and infecting many. Eventually, this can cause the Holy Spirit to withdraw His godly influence and power from the church (Revelation 2-3).

HAND THIS MAN OVER TO SATAN / 1 CORINTHIANS 4-5

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) 1 Corinthians 5:4-5

In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, 5 To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

HAND THIS MAN OVER TO SATAN / 1 CORINTHIANS 4-5

To “hand … over to Satan” means that the church must expel the immoral person from its congregation and allow the individual to go his or her own way. This will, in turn, expose the person to the destructive influences of evil and the demonic (1 Corinthians 5:7, 13).

  1. This severe discipline has two purposes: (a) that the offender, by experiencing difficult problems and even physical suffering, may humbly turn to God for help and forgiveness and, in the end, be saved (Luke 15:11-24); (b) that the church may “get rid of the old yeast” (1 Corinthians 5:7, sinful influences) so that God’s people may become like fresh bread of “sincerity and truth” (1 Corinthians 5:8).
  2. The same action can be taken by churches today in an effort to bring spiritually rebellious individuals to the point in their worldly behavior that they find nowhere to turn but back to God (1 Timothy 1:20).
