1Corinthians 6 with Commentaries, verse by verse

1Corinthians 6
Paul spoke about two issues. The first is lawsuits among belivers (v. 1-11) and the second is sexual immorality in the church (v. 12-20). Why should believers sue against each other and take their 'dirty laundry' in front of godless judges. He reminded them that the saints will judge the ungodly and the angels. In the second issue of sexual immorality in the church we have to realize that Corinth was well-known for its sexual immorality!Link to Cleveland Commentary on Sexual Immorality in 1Cor 6 According to the NIV Study Bible Corinth had twelve temple, among the most infamous was the temple of Aphrodite, the goddess of love where the worshppers practiced temple prostitution. Corinth was well known for its immorality that the immorality of Corinth become such that the Greek verb to "Corinthianize" came to mean 'to practice sexual immorality." In a setting like this, no wonder the church was plagued with sexual sins!
In verse 18 Paul exhorts us to flee sexual immorality just as Joseph fled Potiphar's wife!! The person who commits sexual immorarilty sins against HIS OWN BODY. Paul reminded us that the body is the Temple of the Holy Spirit, our bodies are not our own, it belongs to Christ and we are brought with a price. Today, we are plagued with sexual sins and temptations in the society. HIV-Aids, and all types of 'social diseases are rampant. There are more new sites created everyday which have pornographic content than non-pornographic content. We need to stay away from these sites, confess our sins to one another seek help and counseling!
