9I wrote to you in my epistle not to keep company with sexually immoral people.

10Yet I certainly did not mean with the sexually immoral people of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or idolaters, since then you would need to go out of the world.

11But now I have written to you not to keep company with anyone named a brother, who is sexually immoral, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner—not even to eat with such a person.

12For what have I to do with judging those also who are outside? Do you not judge those who are inside?

13But those who are outside God judges. Therefore 'put away from yourselves the evil person.'

1Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unrighteous, and not before the saints?

2Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world will be judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters?

3Do you not know that we shall judge angels? How much more, things that pertain to this life?

4If then you have judgments concerning things pertaining to this life, do you appoint those who are least esteemed by the church to judge?

5I say this to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you, not even one, who will be able to judge between his brethren?

6But brother goes to law against brother, and that before unbelievers!

7Now therefore, it is already an utter failure for you that you go to law against one another. Why do you not rather accept wrong? Why do you not rather let yourselves be cheated?

8No, you yourselves do wrong and cheat, and you do these things to your brethren!

9Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites,

10nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God.

11And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.

54When He had come to His own country, He taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished and said, 'Where did this Man get this wisdom and these mighty works?

55Is this not the carpenter's son? Is not His mother called Mary? And His brothers James, Joses, Simon, and Judas?

56And His sisters, are they not all with us? Where then did this Man get all these things?'

57So they were offended at Him.

58But Jesus said to them, 'A prophet is not without honor except in his own country and in his own house.' Now He did not do many mighty works there because of their unbelief.
