Summary

If someone begins a question with the phrase, “Do you not know?” this usually implies that either you did know, or should have known, but you failed to act. Paul begins six questions like this in 1 Corinthians 6 to correct some things that the Corinthian church was doing wrong. In today’s study, Pastor Gary tackles three of those questions to help us understand God’s perspective on lawsuits and lifestyles.

0:00.0	For this morning, we're here in 1 Corinthians chapter 6.
0:02.9	I'm going to read all of it because I want you to see the whole context of the chapter.
0:06.6	It's really only 20 verses, not too long, so allow me to read.
0:10.6	If you don't mind, I'm going to read the entire chapter.
0:13.3	First Corinthians chapter 6.
0:16.4	Paul writes, dare any of you having a matter against another go to law before the unrighteous and not
0:24.0	before the saints? Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world will be
0:31.3	judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters? Do you not know that we shall judge angels? How much more things that
0:40.7	pertain to this life? If then you have judgments concerning things pertaining to this life, do you appoint
0:46.8	those who are least esteemed by the church to judge? I say this to your shame. Is it so that there
0:53.3	is not a wise man among you, not even one, who will be able to judge between his brethren? But brother goes to law against brother and that before unbelievers. Now therefore, it is already an utter failure for you that you go to law against one another. Why do you not rather accept wrong? Why do you not rather let yourselves be cheated?
1:13.4	No, you yourselves do wrong and cheat and you do these things to your brethren. Do you not know
1:19.5	that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived, neither fornicators,
1:25.3	nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor
1:29.1	sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will
1:35.0	inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified,
1:42.5	but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by
1:45.7	the spirit of our God. All things are lawful for me, but all things are not helpful. All things are
1:52.0	lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any. Foods for the stomach and the
1:57.2	stomach for foods, but God will destroy both it and them. Now, the body is not for
2:02.4	sexual immorality, but for the Lord and the Lord for the body. And God both raised up the Lord
2:08.3	and will also raise us up by his power. Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ?
