I have the right to do anything,” you say—but not everything is beneficial

 1 Corinthians 6:1-20

If any of you has a dispute with another, do you dare to take it before the ungodly for judgment instead of before the Lord’s people? Or do you not know that the Lord’s people will judge the world?

Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. 

I have the right to do anything,” you say—but not everything is beneficial.

Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ himself? Shall I then take the members of Christ and unite them with a prostitute? Never!

Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.

Why?

Disputing with another in church is wrong for both. Instead, we should love each other. Let the Lord or the church elder resolve this dispute among brothers.

Our body is holy and belongs to the Lord, so we can not be allowed to unite with a prostitute.

We can do anything, and we are free, but it doesn't mean we have the right to do anything.

Not everything is beneficial. warn us to be careful to do anything.

How?

We are free in Jesus Christ, but we have to take responsibility to do everything in our daily lives.
