1 Corinthians 6

v.1

Outraged that they are going outside of the church to handle church matters.

Why use humanly wisdom to judge church matters

v. 2 saints judge the world? I have no idea

judge - settle disputes between members of the church - they were all puffed up and they drew lines in the sand and everyone lined up on sides

v. 3 judge angels? I have no idea. mundane matters, everyday matters of life.

v. 4 who do you pick to be the judges? the godliest and wisest in Godly matters or human wisdom.

v. 5 why go to the outside to solve christian matters when they think what God says is foolish

note v. 14 & v. 11 brothers should be on the same page respecting the wisdom that comes for God 1:10

looking for someone with divine wisdom

v. 6 it’s already happening

v. 7 why bring shame to the church instead just let it go (owing money)

v. 8 why do you wrong and defraud

v. 9 faction leaders were saying you could be these things and go to heaven

effeminate - soft (acts like a woman) ones

homosexuals - males having sexual intercourse with other males

v. 10 drunkards - full of booze

reviler - says hateful hurtful things to people

swindlers - snatch things up

v. 11

washed - baptism

sanctified - set apart and made holy 1:2 quit being like the world

justified - to be made righteous

you are not supposed to be those things so why are putting up with one his living this way

why go outside to the unrighteous to solve spiritual matters

v.12 Corinthians are saying all things are lawful for me i can do whatever I want

Paul says not all things are good I’m not going to let other people outside dictate what right or wrong God does that

v. 13 food - if the body wants it give it what it wants - philosophical statement of the Greeks.

God will destroy it and them - not the operating principle we should operate on

divine wisdom - the body is not for fornication

v. 14 our bodies are not just for this life but another life

v. 15 bodies don’t belong to us (it’s my body, I can do what I want) It’s the Lord

harlot - fornication

v.16 Gen 2:24 one with each-other and that is a sacred thing.

v. 17 same type of relationship we are married we belong to God

v. 18 flee - run the other direction as hard and as fast as you can from fornication

1 Corinthians 10:14 NASB95

Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry.

v. 19 not your body it’s God - I belong to God you were bought with a price - purchased with the blood of Christ so we look at sex differently than the world does

1 Cor. 7:1 wrote - asked a bunch of questions

now concerning - 7:25; 8:1; 12:1; 16:1, 12 answering different questions based on God’s Wisdom

“ this is what Corinthians is saying”
