28 The sons of Abraham were Isaac and Ishmael.29 (C1)These are their genealogies: the firstborn of Ishmael was Nebaioth, then Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam,30 Mishma, Dumah, Massa, Hadad, Tema,31 Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah; these were the sons of Ishmael.32 (C1)The sons of Keturah, Abraham's concubine, to whom she gave birth, were Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah. And the sons of Jokshan were Sheba and Dedan.33 The sons of Midian were Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abida, and Eldaah. All these were the sons of Keturah.

34 (C1)Abraham fathered Isaac.

43 (C1)Now these are the kings who reigned in the land of Edom before any king from the sons of Israel reigned. Bela was the son of Beor, and the name of his city was Dinhabah.44 When Bela died, Jobab the son of Zerah of (C1)Bozrah became king in his place.45 When Jobab died, Husham of the land of (C1)the Temanites became king in his place.46 When Husham died, Hadad the son of Bedad, who (F1)defeated Midian in the field of Moab, became king in his place; and the name of his city was Avith.47 When Hadad died, Samlah of Masrekah became king in his place.48 When Samlah died, Shaul of Rehoboth by the Euphrates River became king in his place.49 When Shaul died, Baal-hanan the son of Achbor became king in his place.50 When Baal-hanan died, (F1)Hadad became king in his place; and the name of his city was (F2)Pai, and his wife's name was Mehetabel, the daughter of Matred, the daughter of Mezahab.

51 Then Hadad died. Now the tribal chiefs of Edom were chief Timna, chief (F1)Aliah, chief Jetheth,52 chief Oholibamah, chief Elah, chief Pinon,53 chief Kenaz, chief Teman, chief Mibzar,54 chief Magdiel, and chief Iram. These were the chiefs of Edom.

3 (C1)The sons of Judah were Er, Onan, and Shelah; these three were born to him by Bath-shua the Canaanitess. But Er, Judah's firstborn, was evil in the sight of the LORD, so He put him to death.4 (C1)His daughter-in-law Tamar bore him Perez and Zerah. Judah had five sons in all.

21 Later, Hezron had relations with the daughter of Machir the father of Gilead, whom he married when he was sixty years old; and she bore to him Segub.22 Segub fathered Jair, who had twenty-three cities in the land of Gilead.23 But Geshur and Aram took (F1)the villages of Jair from them, with Kenath and its villages, sixty settlements. All of these were the sons of Machir, the father of Gilead.24 After the death of Hezron in Caleb-ephrathah, Abijah, Hezron's wife, bore to him Ashhur the father of Tekoa.

1 Corinthians 6

Chapter 6

Lawsuits Discouraged

1 Does any one of you, when he has a (F1)case against (F2)his neighbor, dare to go to law before the unrighteous and (C1)not before the (F3)saints?2 Or (C1)do you not know that (C2)the (F1)saints will judge (C3)the world? If the world is judged by you, are you not competent to form the smallest (F2)law courts?3 (C1)Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more matters of this life?4 So if you have law courts dealing with matters of this life, (F1)do you appoint them as judges who are of no account in the church?5 (C1)I say this to your shame. Is it so, that there is not among you anyone wise who will be able to decide between his (C2)brothers and sisters,6 but brother goes to law with brother, and that before (C1)unbelievers?

7 Actually, then, it is already a defeat for you, that you have lawsuits with one another. (C1)Why not rather suffer the wrong? Why not rather be defrauded?8 On the contrary, you yourselves do wrong and defraud. And this to your (C1)brothers and sisters!

9 Or (C1)do you not know that the unrighteous will not (C2)inherit the kingdom of God? (C3)Do not be deceived; (C4)neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor (F1)homosexuals,10 nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor those habitually drunk, nor verbal abusers, nor swindlers, will (C1)inherit the kingdom of God.11 (C1)Such were some of you; but you were (C2)washed, but you were (C3)sanctified, but you were (C4)justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and (F1)in the Spirit of our God.

The Body Is the Lord's

12 (C1)All things are permitted for me, but not all things are of benefit. All things are permitted for me, but I will not be mastered by anything.13 (C1)Food is for the stomach and the stomach is for food, however God will (C2)do away with both (F1)of them. But the body is not for sexual immorality, but (C3)for the Lord, and (C4)the Lord is for the body.14 Now God has not only (C1)raised the Lord, but (C2)will also raise us up through His power.15 (C1)Do you not know that (C2)your bodies are parts of Christ? Shall I then take away the parts of Christ and make them parts of a prostitute? (F1)(C3)Far from it!16 Or (C1)do you not know that the one who joins himself to a prostitute is one body with her? For He says, "(C2)THE TWO SHALL BECOME ONE FLESH."17 But the one who joins himself to the Lord is (C1)one spirit with Him.18 (C1)Flee sexual immorality. Every other sin that a person commits is outside the body, but the (F1)sexually immoral person sins against his own body.19 Or (C1)do you not know that (C2)your body is a (F1)temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from (F2)God, and that (C3)you are not your own?20 For (C1)you have been bought for a price: therefore glorify God in (C2)your body.
