Sermon Bible Commentary - 1 Corinthians 6:19-20

1 Corinthians 6:19-20 Note: I. God's consecration of the body. The image of the text is that of a shrine in which a god dwells. The body of a Christian believer holds another tenant than his human spirit; a Divine presence is within him, at once his glory and his power. And that Divine presence confers an unutterable sacredness upon his body. The body is a medium of Divine service. That is one of the suggestions of God's consecration of it. The impulses of the indwelling Spirit ask for its... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - 1 Corinthians 6:1-20

Chapter 6Now Paul brings up another issue, and that was the taking of a brother before the pagan courts.Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints? Do you not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if you are going to be judging the world, are you unworthy to judge in the smallest matters? ( 1 Corinthians 6:1-2 )Now, there were those within the church of Corinth that were going to the pagan courts in Corinth with judgments... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - 1 Corinthians 6:1-20

1 Corinthians 6:1 . Dare any of you go to law before the unjust? He whose cause is just appeals to equity, but he who does his neighbour wrong is vexatious. In England, our judges, after the cause is opened, finding it of small account, refer it frequently to an arbitrator. The litigious pay dear for legal decisions, which they might have had gratis at home; and what is worse, they expose religion to great contempt. 1 Corinthians 6:2-3 . The saints shall judge the world shall judge... read more
