Mt 18.17. When one of you has a grievance against a brother, does he dare go to law before the unrighteous instead of the saints? 2Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world is to be judged by you, are you incompetent to try trivial cases? 3Do you not know that we are to judge angels? How much more, matters pertaining to this life! 4If then you have such cases, why do you lay them before those who are least esteemed by the church? 5I say this to your shame. Can it be that there is no man among you wise enough to decide between members of the brotherhood, 6but brother goes to law against brother, and that before unbelievers?

Mt 5.39-40. To have lawsuits at all with one another is defeat for you. Why not rather suffer wrong? Why not rather be defrauded? 8But you yourselves wrong and defraud, and that even your own brethren.

1 Cor 15.50. Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither the immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor sexual perverts, 10nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor robbers will inherit the kingdom of God. 11#Acts 22.16; Rom 8.30. And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.

1 Cor 10.23. “All things are lawful for me,” but not all things are helpful. “All things are lawful for me,” but I will not be enslaved by anything. 13“Food is meant for the stomach and the stomach for food”—and God will destroy both one and the other. The body is not meant for immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body. 14And God raised the Lord and will also raise us up by his power. 15#Rom 12.5; 1 Cor 12.27. Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I therefore take the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? Never! 16#Gen 2.24; Mt 19.5; Mk 10.8; Eph 5.31. Do you not know that he who joins himself to a prostitute becomes one body with her? For, as it is written, “The two shall become one flesh.” 17#Jn 17.21-23; Rom 8.9; Gal 2.20. But he who is united to the Lord becomes one spirit with him. 18Shun immorality. Every other sin which a man commits is outside the body; but the immoral man sins against his own body. 19#1 Cor 3.16; Jn 2.21. Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, which you have from God? You are not your own; 20#1 Cor 7.23; Acts 20.28; Rom 12.1. you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.

Qorintiyim Aleph (1 Corinthians) 6
6
1Should any of you, holding a matter against another, go to be judged before the unrighteous, and not before the set-apart ones?
2Do you not know that the set-apart ones shall judge the world? And if the world is judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters?
3Do you not know that we shall judge messengers? How much more, matters of this life?
4If then you truly have judgments of this life, do you appoint them as judges who are least esteemed by the assembly?
5I say this to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise one among you, not even one, who shall be able to judge between his brothers?
6But brother against brother goes to be judged and that before unbelievers!
7Already, then, there is a failure with you, that you have lawsuits among you. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be cheated?
8But you yourselves do wrong and cheat, and that to your brothers!
9Do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the reign of Elohim? Do not be deceived. Neither those who whore, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals,
10nor thieves, nor greedy of gain, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers shall inherit the reign of Elohim.#See Gal. 5:19-21; Eph. 5:3-5
11And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were set apart, but you were declared right in the Name of the Master יהושע and by the Spirit of our Elohim.
12All is permitted me, but not all do profit. All is permitted me, but I shall not be under authority of any.
13Foods for the stomach and the stomach for foods – but Elohim shall destroy both it and them. And the body is not for whoring but for the Master, and the Master for the body.
14And Elohim, who raised up the Master, shall also raise us up through His power.
15Do you not know that your bodies are members of Messiah? Shall I then take the members of Messiah and make them members of a whore? Let it not be!
16Or do you not know that he who is joined to a whore is one body? For He says, “The two shall become one flesh.”# Gen. 2:24
17And he who is joined to the Master is one spirit.
18Flee whoring. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits whoring sins against his own body.
19Or do you not know that your body is the Dwelling Place of the Set-apart Spirit who is in you, which you have from Elohim, and you are not your own?
20For you were bought with a price, therefore esteem Elohim in your body and in your spirit,#See 1Cor. 7:23; 1Pe. 1:18, 19 which are of Elohim.
