Text

Structure

This chapter can be grouped:

Verse 9

King James Version

Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,[3]

Cross reference: 1 Timothy 1:10

Verse 12

New King James Version

All things are lawful for me, but all things are not helpful. All things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.[4]

Gill comments that "everything is not lawful to be done when the doing of them destroys the peace, comfort, and edification of others; when it stumbles and grieves weak minds, and causes offence to them"; see (1 Corinthians 10:23), so not "expedient" to use this liberty, to grieve a weak brother or to make oneself a "slave to one's appetite".[5]

Verse 16

New King James Version

Or do you not know that he who is joined to a harlot is one body with her? For “the two,” He says, “shall become one flesh.”[6]

Cross references: Genesis 2:24
