but brother goes to law with brother, and that before unbelievers?

But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before the unbelievers.

Actually, then, it is already a defeat for you, that you have lawsuits with one another. Why not rather suffer the wrong? Why not rather be defrauded?

Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law one with another. Why do ye not rather take wrong? why do ye not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded?

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.

All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.

Food is for the stomach and the stomach is for food, however God will do away with both of them. But the body is not for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord is for the body.

Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body.

But the one who joins himself to the Lord is one spirit with Him.

But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.

What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?

For you have been bought for a price: therefore glorify God in your body.

For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.
