1 Corinthians 6

Paul addresses lawsuits among believers, instructing them to resolve disputes within the church rather than before secular courts, and emphasizes that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of Theos (God).[1][3] He teaches that believers' bodies are temples of the Pneuma Hagion (Holy Spirit) and calls them to flee sexual immorality, reminding them they were washed, sanctified, and justified in the name of Kyrios (Lord) Iesous (Jesus) and by the Spirit of Theos.[1][3][4]
