1 Corinthians 6:17-18, 2 Corinthians 6:14-17

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 6:1-20

In this chapter there is another matter raised in which the Corinthians had not been using proper judgment. No individual is singled out here, but the strong reproof of the apostle is for any who had laid charges in the law courts against their own brethren. Did they realize they were relying on the judgment of the unjust in this case? Was it becoming that they should accept the judgment of the ungodly at a time when they might have the fair and properly considered judgment of the saints of... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - 1 Corinthians 6:1-20

SANCTITY OF THE HUMAN BODY One of the demoralizing things reported to Paul was the incest dealt with in chapter 5, and aggravated by the fact that the church instead of excommunicating the offender had become “puffed up” over it! His was an illustration of what their worldly wisdom in the Gospel had resulted in (1 Corinthians 5:1-2 ). Paul had already “judged” this person and directed the church to come together and solemnly deliver him “to Satan for the destruction of the flesh that the... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - 1 Corinthians 6:15-20

(15) Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of a harlot? God forbid. (16) What? know ye not that he which is joined to a harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh. (17) But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit. (18) Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. (19) What? know ye not that your body is... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 6:12-20

12-20 Some among the Corinthians seem to have been ready to say, All things are lawful for me. This dangerous conceit St. Paul opposes. There is a liberty wherewith Christ has made us free, in which we must stand fast. But surely a Christian would never put himself into the power of any bodily appetite. The body is for the Lord; is to be an instrument of righteousness to holiness, therefore is never to be made an instrument of sin. It is an honour to the body, that Jesus Christ was raised from... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - 1 Corinthians 6:1-99

1Co 6 THERE WAS ANOTHER very grievous scandal amongst these Corinthians, to which Paul alludes in chapter 6. It was less grave perhaps than the foregoing, but apparently it was more widespread. Some amongst them were quarrelsome, and dragging their disputes into the public law courts. Thus they launched their accusations and aired their wrongs, whether real or imaginary, before the unbelievers. Here again spiritual instinct ought to have delivered them from such an error. It was virtually... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - 1 Corinthians 6:15-20

An earnest warning against immorality: v. 15. Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? Shall I, then, take the members of Christ and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid! v. 16. What? Know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? For two, saith He, shall be one flesh. v. 17. But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit. v. 18. Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - 1 Corinthians 6:12-20

XII.—AN EXHORTION TO CHRISTIAN CONTINENCE, AND A PROHIBITION OF ALL HEATHENISH LICENTIOUSNESS. THE RELATION WHICH THE BODY SUSTAINS TO CHRIST; ITS CHARACTER AS THE DWELLING-PLACE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, AND THE GREAT PRICE PAID FOR ITS RANSOM, DO NOT ALLOW OF OUR REGARDING SUCH A GRATIFICATION OF CARNAL APPETITE MORALLY INDIFFERENT, LIKE THE ENJOYMENT OF FOOD12All things are lawful unto me, [are in my power], but all things are not expedient; all things are lawful for me [are in my power], but I... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - 1 Corinthians 6:12-20

Keeping the Body Holy 1 Corinthians 6:12-20 It is interesting to compare 1 Corinthians 6:12 with 1 Corinthians 10:23 . There are four clauses in each verse, three of which are similar, but the last ones differ. The two laws that should govern our life in doubtful things, are first, the arresting of oneself in the doing of anything which threatens to become our master; and second, the abstaining from anything which threatens to be a stumbling-block in another’s Christian life. It is not... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 1 Corinthians 6:1-20

The apostle now passed to another dereliction. Disputes in the church were being submitted to heathen tribunals. What these matters were we are not told. The teaching of the apostle is clear, and has application for all time. Disputes among saints should be settled between saints, and wholly within the confines of the church. The argument as to the fitness of the saints for the work is that as they will finally have to judge angels, surely they ought to be able to judge things pertaining to... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - 1 Corinthians 6:1-20

The Indwelling Holy Spirit 1 Corinthians 6:1-20 INTRODUCTORY WORDS The studies in the Epistle to the Corinthians are not written to be shelved, but to be carefully studied, and followed, lest we fall, as saints, into the same line of carnalities, as those into which they fell. In the last study we discovered a deplorable condition in the Church at Corinth. Now, other shortcomings are before us. All of these are due to the one fact, the Corinthians failed to walk in the Spirit, and to yield... read more
