1 Cor. 6:1 - NIV, NAB - in Clement of Alexandria Stromata Book VII
For in the first Epistle to the Corinthians the divine apostle says: "Dare any of you, having a matter against the other, go to law before the unrighteous, and not before the saints? Know ye not that the saints shall judge the world? "[140]
1 Cor. 6:1 - NIV, NAB - in Tertullian To His Wife Book II
And she will have to go forth (from her house) by a gate wreathed with laurel, and hung with lanterns, as from some new consistory of public lusts; she will have to sit with her husband ofttimes in club meetings, oft-times in taverns; and, wont as she was formerly to minister to the "saints," will sometimes have to minister to the "unjust."[43]
1 Cor. 6:1 - NIV, NAB - in Tertullian On Modesty
chiding them likewise because "brethren" were not "judged at the bar of the saints: "[43]
1 Cor. 6:1 - NIV, NAB - in Cyprian Treatise XII Three Books of Testimonies Against the Jews
In the first Epistle of Paul to the Corinthians: "Dares any of you, having a matter against other, to discuss it among the unrighteous, and not among the saints? Know ye not that the saints shall judge this world? "[609]
1 Cor. 6:1 - NIV, NAB - in Constitutions of the Holy Apostles Book II
It is therefore a noble encomium for a Christian to have no contest with any one;[211]
1 Cor. 6:2 - NIV, NAB - in Epistle of Polycarp to the Philippians
But who of us are ignorant of the judgment of the Lord? "Do we not know that the saints shall judge the world? "[64]
1 Cor. 6:2 - NIV, NAB - in Tertullian On Idolatry
For avoiding it, remedies cannot be lacking; since, even if they be lacking, there remains that one by which you will be made a happier magistrate, not in the earth, but in the heavens.[151]

who is destined to be the judge of angels,[135]
1 Cor. 6:3 - NIV, NAB - in Tertullian On Repentance
in man have been overthrown, so many marks of the condemnation which formerly was his own erased. He grieves that that sinner, (now) Christ's servant, is destined to judge him and his angels.[66]
1 Cor. 6:3 - NIV, NAB - in Tertullian On the Apparel of Women Book I
Sure they were that all ostentation, and ambition, and love of pleasing by carnal means, was displeasing to God. And these are the angels whom we are destined to judge:[18]
1 Cor. 6:3 - NIV, NAB - in Tertullian On Modesty
"Know ye not that we are to judge angels? "[142]
1 Cor. 6:3 - NIV, NAB - in Origen Commentary on Matthew Book X
where it is not said "all" angels. And we know also this-"We shall judge angels"[58]
1 Cor. 6:4 - NIV, NAB - in Pseudo-Cyprian On the Glory of Martyrdom
Moreover, also, the Apostle Paul says: "Be ye imitators of me, as I also am of Christ."[30]
1 Cor. 6:7 - NIV, NAB - in Clement of Alexandria Stromata Book VII
And how shall one "judge" the apostate "angels," who has become himself an apostate from that forgetfulness of injuries, which is according to the Gospel? "Why do ye not rather suffer wrong? "he says; "why are ye not rather defrauded? Yea, ye do wrong and defraud,"[144]
1 Cor. 6:7 - NIV, NAB - in Cyprian Treatise XII Three Books of Testimonies Against the Jews
Wherefore do ye not rather suffer injury? or wherefore are ye not rather defrauded? But ye do wrong, and defraud, and this your brethren. Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not obtain the kingdom of God? "[610]
1 Cor. 6:7 - NIV, NAB - in The Second Epistle of Pope Fabian
And herein is the meaning of that word which the apostle speaks: "Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law one with another. Why do ye not rather take wrong? why do ye not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded? "[13]
1 Cor. 6:9 - NIV, NAB - in Epistle of Polycarp to the Philippians
and "neither fornicators, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, shall inherit the kingdom of God,"[37]

Those that corrupt families shall not inherit the kingdom of God.[115]
1 Cor. 6:9 - NIV, NAB - in Epistle of Ignatius to the Tarsians
And that we must live soberly and righteously, he [shows when he] says again, "Be not deceived: neither adulterers, nor effeminate persons, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, nor fornicators, nor revilers, nor drunkards, nor thieves, can inherit the kingdom of God."[32]
1 Cor. 6:9 - NIV, NAB - in Irenaeus Against Heresies Book IV
and the apostle says, "Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, not effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God."[393]
1 Cor. 6:9 - NIV, NAB - in Irenaeus Against Heresies Book V
And these ye indeed have been; but ye have been washed, but ye have been sanctified, but ye have been justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and in the Spirit of our God."[81]
1 Cor. 6:9 - NIV, NAB - in Clement of Alexandria The Instructor Book III
"Be not deceived; neither adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor railers," and whatever else he adds to these, "shall inherit the kingdom of God."[154]
1 Cor. 6:9 - NIV, NAB - in Clement of Alexandria Stromata Book III
De ea autem voluptate, quae est praeter regulam: "Ne erretis," inquit; "nec fornicatores, nec idololatrae, nec adulteri, nec molles, nec masculorum concubitores, neque avari, neque fures, neque ebnosi, neque maledici, nec raptores, regnum Dei possidebunt; et nos quidem abluti sum us,"[232]
1 Cor. 6:9 - NIV, NAB - in Clement of Alexandria Stromata Book VII
"Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? "[145]
1 Cor. 6:9 - NIV, NAB - in Tertullian On Modesty
all others-when affirming that "adulterers, and fornicators, and effeminates, and co-habitors with males, will not attain the kingdom of God," he premised, "Do not err"[165]
1 Cor. 6:9 - NIV, NAB - in Cyprian Treatise IV On the Lord's Prayer
And such indeed were you; but ye are washed; but ye are justified; but ye are sanctified in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by the Spirit of our God."[34]
1 Cor. 6:9 - NIV, NAB - in Cyprian Treatise XII Three Books of Testimonies Against the Jews
And these things indeed ye were: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, and in the Spirit of our God."[706]
1 Cor. 6:9 - NIV, NAB - in Acts of the Holy Apostle Thomas
And I having heard from thee, and believed that thou proclaimest the living God, came and received the seal from thee along with the others; and thou saidst, Whoever shall indulge in filthy intercourse, and especially in adultery, shall not have life with the God whom I proclaim.[50]
1 Cor. 6:10 - NIV, NAB - in Origen Against Celsus Book VIII
and it is said that "revilers shall not inherit the kingdom of God."[84]
1 Cor. 6:10 - NIV, NAB - in Origen Against Celsus Book VIII
" Now to these statements I would answer that we revile no one, for we believe that "revilers will not inherit the kingdom of God."[92]
1 Cor. 6:10 - NIV, NAB - in Cyprian Epistle LIV
4. For since it is written, "Neither shall revilers inherit the kingdom of God,"[13]
1 Cor. 6:11 - NIV, NAB - in Irenaeus Against Heresies Book IV
And such were some of you; but ye have been washed, but ye have been sanctified in the name of our Lord."[610]
1 Cor. 6:11 - NIV, NAB - in Clement of Alexandria Stromata Book VII
"And such were some of you"-such manifestly as those still are whom you do not forgive; "but ye are washed,"[146]
1 Cor. 6:11 - NIV, NAB - in Tertullian A Treatise on the Soul
and, "Such were some of you, but ye are washed."[173]
1 Cor. 6:11 - NIV, NAB - in Pseudo-Gregory Thaumaturgus A Sectional Confession of Faith
And again: "But ye are washed, but ye are justified in the name of our Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God."[87]
1 Cor. 6:12 - NIV, NAB - in Irenaeus Against Heresies Book IV
For it is in man's power to disobey God, and to forfeit what is good; but [such conduct] brings no small amount of injury and mischief. And on this account Paul says, "All things are lawful to me, but all things are not expedient; "[606]
1 Cor. 6:12 - NIV, NAB - in Clement of Alexandria Stromata Book VII
" Ye are made, so to speak, by Him to be righteous as He is, and are blended as far as possible with the Holy Spirit. For "are not all things lawful to me? yet I will not be brought under the power of any,"[148]
1 Cor. 6:12 - NIV, NAB - in Clement of Alexandria Stromata Book VII
so as to do, or think, or speak aught contrary to the Gospel. "Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats, which God shall destroy,"[149]
1 Cor. 6:13 - NIV, NAB - in Irenaeus Against Heresies Book V
" How then is it not the utmost blasphemy to allege, that the temple of God, in which the Spirit of the Father dwells, and the members of Christ, do not partake of salvation, but are reduced to perdition? Also, that our bodies are raised not from their own substance, but by the power of God, he says to the Corinthians, "Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body. But God hath both raised up the Lord, and shall raise us up by His own power."[34]
1 Cor. 6:13 - NIV, NAB - in Clement of Alexandria The Instructor Book I
With milk, then, the Lord's nutriment, we are nursed directly we are born; and as soon as we are regenerated, we are honoured by receiving the good news of the hope of rest, even the Jerusalem above, in which it is written that milk and honey fall in showers, receiving through what is material the pledge of the sacred food. "For meats are done away with,"[92]
1 Cor. 6:13 - NIV, NAB - in Clement of Alexandria The Instructor Book II
But we who seek the heavenly bread must role the belly, which is beneath heaven, and much more the things which are agreeable to it, which "God shall destroy,"[2]
1 Cor. 6:13 - NIV, NAB - in Clement of Alexandria The Instructor Book II
says the apostle, justly execrating gluttonous desires. For "meats are for the belly,"[3]
1 Cor. 6:13 - NIV, NAB - in Clement of Alexandria Stromata Book III
Nam cum "domino sabbati," etiamsi intemperanter vivat, nulla ratio reddenda sit, multo magis qui vitam moderate et temperate instituit, nulli erit rationi reddendae obnoxius. "Omnia enim licent, sed non omnia expediunt,"[44]
1 Cor. 6:13 - NIV, NAB - in Clement of Alexandria Stromata Book III
Etenim de ventre et cibis dictum est: "Escae ventri, et venter escis; Deus antem et illum et has destruet; "[57]
1 Cor. 6:13 - NIV, NAB - in Clement of Alexandria Stromata Book III
usque ad illud: "Corpus autem non fornicationi, sed Domino, et Dominus corpori."[223]
1 Cor. 6:13 - NIV, NAB - in Tertullian Against Marcion Book V
Why does (the apostle) clothe us and Christ with symbols of the Creator's solemn rites, unless they had relation to ourselves? When, again, he warns us against fornication, he reveals the resurrection of the flesh. "The body," says he, "is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body,"[299]
1 Cor. 6:13 - NIV, NAB - in Novation On the Jewish Meats
wherein it was absolutely proved that they are ignorant of what is the true circumcision, and what the true Sabbath; and their ever increasing blindness is confuted in this present epistle, wherein I have briefly discoursed concerning their meats, because that in them they consider that they only are holy, and that all others are defiled.[7]
1 Cor. 6:13 - NIV, NAB - in Novation On the Jewish Meats
Also elsewhere: "Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body."[26]
1 Cor. 6:13 - NIV, NAB - in Gregory Thaumaturgus Canonical Epistle
For the apostle says, "Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them."[3]
1 Cor. 6:14 - NIV, NAB - in Epistle of Polycarp to the Philippians
But He who raised Him up from the dead will raise[14]
1 Cor. 6:14 - NIV, NAB - in Irenaeus Against Heresies Book V
(now these are the tokens of that flesh which rose from the dead), so "shall He also," it is said, "raise us up by His own power."[36]
1 Cor. 6:14 - NIV, NAB - in Tertullian Against Marcion Book V
with its god, and its god with the temple. You see, then, how that "He who raised up the Lord will also raise us up."[301]
1 Cor. 6:14 - NIV, NAB - in Tertullian On Modesty
"Moreover, God both raised up the Lord, and will raise up us through His own power; "[170]
1 Cor. 6:14 - NIV, NAB - in Cyprian Treatise II On the Dress of Virgins
Paul tells us in his epistles, in which he has formed us to a course of living by divine teaching, "Ye are not your own, for ye are bought with a great price; glorify and bear God in your body."[9]
1 Cor. 6:14 - NIV, NAB - in Archelaus Acts of the Disputation with the Heresiarch Manes
and once more, "God hath both raised up the Lord, and will raise up us together with Him by His own power? "[600]
1 Cor. 6:15 - NIV, NAB - in Clement of Alexandria The Instructor Book II
"Nor," as Paul says, "is it meet to make the members of Christ the members of an harlot; nor must the temple of God be made the temple of base affections."[212]
1 Cor. 6:15 - NIV, NAB - in Tertullian Against Marcion Book IV
does not permit "the members of Christ to be joined to a harlot."[1341]
1 Cor. 6:15 - NIV, NAB - in Tertullian Against Marcion Book V
In the body will He raise us, because the body is for the Lord, and the Lord for the body. And suitably does he add the question: "Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? "[302]
1 Cor. 6:15 - NIV, NAB - in Tertullian On the Resurrection of the Flesh
he makes our bodies "the members of Christ; "[79]
1 Cor. 6:15 - NIV, NAB - in Tertullian To His Wife Book II
less commingles "the members of Christ" with the members of an adulteress.[27]
1 Cor. 6:15 - NIV, NAB - in Tertullian On Modesty
"Taking away the members of Christ, shall I make (them) members of an harlot? Know ye not, that whoever is agglutinated to an harlot is made one body? (for the two shall be (made) into one flesh): but whoever is agglutinated to the Lord is one spirit? Flee fornication."[172]
1 Cor. 6:15 - NIV, NAB - in Cyprian Treatise XII Three Books of Testimonies Against the Jews
Or know ye not that he who is joined together with an harlot is one body? for two shall be in one flesh. But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit."[701]
1 Cor. 6:15 - NIV, NAB - in Pseudo-Cyprian Of the Discipline and Advantage of Chastity
Hence also he says the same thing: "That the members of Christ must not be joined with the members of an harlot."[10]
1 Cor. 6:16 - NIV, NAB - in Clement of Alexandria Stromata Book III
Et quod matrimonium non dicat fomicationem, ostendit eo, quod subiungit: "An nescitis, quod qui adhaeret meretrici, unum est corpus? "[224]
1 Cor. 6:17 - NIV, NAB - in Origen de Principiis Book II
one spirit, according to the promise of the apostle to those who ought to imitate it, that "he who is joined in the Lord is one spirit."[84]
1 Cor. 6:17 - NIV, NAB - in Origen Against Celsus Book II
, one being with the Logos of God. Now if, according to Paul's teaching, "he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit,"[34]
1 Cor. 6:17 - NIV, NAB - in Origen Against Celsus Book VI
and of the perfect man, and of him who is joined to the true Lord, Word, and Wisdom, and Truth, that "he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit."[244]
1 Cor. 6:17 - NIV, NAB - in Origen Commentary on Matthew Book XIV
than he, who, being joined to the Lord, becomes one spirit with Him.[48]
1 Cor. 6:18 - NIV, NAB - in Clement of Alexandria Stromata Book III
Ad eos autem pudore afficiendos et reprimendos, qui sunt proclives ad secundas nuptias, apte Apostolus alto quodam tono eloquitur; inquit enim: "Ecce, omne peccatum est extra corpus; qui autem fornicatur, in proprium corpus peccat."[162]
1 Cor. 6:18 - NIV, NAB - in Clement of Alexandria Stromata Book III
De his dicit propheta: "Peccatis vestris venundati estis." Et rursus: "Pollutus es in terra aliena: "[163]
1 Cor. 6:18 - NIV, NAB - in Tertullian On Modesty
"Every sin which a human being may have committed is extraneous to the body; but whoever fornicateth, sinneth against his own body."[173]
1 Cor. 6:18 - NIV, NAB - in Cyprian Epistle LI
by necessity, the former by free will: the latter, thinking that it is sufficient for him that he has not sacrificed, has been deceived by an error; the former, a violator of the matrimonial tie of another, or entering a brothel, into the sink and filthy gulf of the common people, has befouled by detestable impurity a sanctified body and God's temple, as says the apostle: "Every sin that a man doeth is without the body, but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body."[53]
1 Cor. 6:18 - NIV, NAB - in Cyprian Treatise XII Three Books of Testimonies Against the Jews
Ye are not your own, for ye are bought with a great price. Glorify and bear the Lord in your body."[704]
1 Cor. 6:18 - NIV, NAB - in Acts of Paul and Thecla
blessed are they that have kept the flesh chaste, for they shall become a temple of God:[5]
1 Cor. 6:19 - NIV, NAB - in Epistle of Ignatius to the Ephesians
There is nothing which is hid from God, but our very secrets are near to Him. Let us therefore do all things as those who have Him dwelling in us, that we may be His temples,[106]
1 Cor. 6:19 - NIV, NAB - in Epistle of Ignatius to the Ephesians
There is nothing which is hid from the Lord, but our very secrets are near to Him. Let us therefore do all things as those who have Him dwelling in us, that we may be His temples,[111]
1 Cor. 6:19 - NIV, NAB - in Epistle of Ignatius to the Philadelphians
as the temples of God;[63]
1 Cor. 6:19 - NIV, NAB - in Tertullian A Treatise on the Soul
but in the apostle's it is "the temple of God,"[307]
1 Cor. 6:19 - NIV, NAB - in Tertullian On the Apparel of Women Book II
(in) us of the Holy Spirit, we are all" the temple of God,"[3]
1 Cor. 6:19 - NIV, NAB - in Tertullian To His Wife Book II
So far as I know, "we are not our own, but bought with a price; "[28]
1 Cor. 6:19 - NIV, NAB - in Tertullian On Modesty
of "temple of God,"[77]
1 Cor. 6:19 - NIV, NAB - in Tertullian On Modesty
"glorify and extol the Lord in your body."[175]
1 Cor. 6:19 - NIV, NAB - in Cyprian Treatise XII Three Books of Testimonies Against the Jews
Of this same thing in the first to the Corinthians: "Ye are not your own, for ye are bought with a great price. Glorify and bear God in your body."[441]
1 Cor. 6:19 - NIV, NAB - in Pseudo-Gregory Thaumaturgus A Sectional Confession of Faith
And again: "What! know ye not that your bodies are the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God? "[88]
1 Cor. 6:19 - NIV, NAB - in Constitutions of the Holy Apostles Book V
ye ought to be wholly free from all sinful actions; "for you are not your own, but His that bought you"[137]
1 Cor. 6:19 - NIV, NAB - in The First Epistle of Clement Concerning Virginity
your fastings and prayers and perpetual watching, together with your other good works, mortify the works of the flesh by the power of the Holy Spirit. He who acts thus "is a temple of the Holy Spirit of God."[124]
1 Cor. 6:20 - NIV, NAB - in Irenaeus Against Heresies Book V
In order, therefore, that we may be perfected for this, aptly does he say to the Corinthians, "Glorify God in your body."[105]
1 Cor. 6:20 - NIV, NAB - in Tertullian Against Marcion Book V
What has the heretic to say? That these members of Christ will not rise again, for they are no longer our own? "For," he says, "ye are bought with a price."[303]
1 Cor. 6:20 - NIV, NAB - in Tertullian Against Marcion Book V
since Christ was a phantom, nor had He any corporeal substance which He could pay for our bodies! But, in truth, Christ had wherewithal to redeem us; and since He has redeemed, at a great price, these bodies of ours, against which fornication must not be committed (because they are now members of Christ, and not our own), surely He will secure, on His own account, the safety of those whom He made His own at so much cost! Now, how shall we glorify, how shall we exalt, God in our body,[304]
1 Cor. 6:20 - NIV, NAB - in Tertullian On the Resurrection of the Flesh
glorify and exalt God in your body,"[95]
1 Cor. 6:20 - NIV, NAB - in Tertullian On Modesty
and was "redeemed with a great price"-"the blood," to wit, "of the Lord and Lamb"[79]
1 Cor. 6:20 - NIV, NAB - in A Letter from Origen to Africanus
we notice such things, we are forthwith to reject as spurious the copies in use in our Churches, and enjoin the brotherhood to put away the sacred books current among them, and to coax the Jews, and persuade them to give us copies which shall be untampered with, and free from forgery! Are we to suppose that that Providence which in the sacred Scriptures has ministered to the edification of all the Churches of Christ, had no thought for those bought with a price, for whom Christ died;[4]
1 Cor. 6:20 - NIV, NAB - in Cyprian Treatise IV On the Lord's Prayer
The blessed apostle also has laid down in his epistle: "Ye are not your own; for ye are bought with a great price. Glorify and bear about God in your body."[32]
1 Cor. 6:20 - NIV, NAB - in Cyprian Treatise XI Exhortation to Martyrdom Addressed to Fortunatus
And again: "Ye are not your own, for ye are bought with a great price. Glorify and bear God in your body."[46]
1 Cor. 6:20 - NIV, NAB - in Origen Commentary on Matthew Book XII
according as "we were bought with a price,"[181]
1 Cor. 6:20 - NIV, NAB - in Origen Commentary on Matthew Book XII
"having been redeemed, not with corruptible things as silver or gold, but with precious blood, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot," even of Christ.[182]
