Devotional:
1 Corinthians Chapter 4:
"As for me, it matters very little how I might be evaluated by you or any human authority."
"I don't even trust my judgement on this point. My conscience is clear, but that doesn't prove i'm right. It is the lord himself who will examine me and decide."
"We appeal gently when evil things are said about us. yet we are treated like the world's garbage, like everybody's trash-right up to the present moment."
Chapter 5:
"Don't you realize that this sin is like a little yeast that spreads through the whole batch of dough?"
-talks about lots of sexual sin
"Don't you realize that we will judge angels? So you should surely be able to resolve ordinary disputes in this life."
Paul says that " those who do wrong will not inherit the kingdom of God?" and proceeds to say in a few verses later " BUT you were cleansed; you were made right with God by calling on the name of the lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God".
" But you can't say that our bodies were made for sexual immorality. They were made for the lord, and the lord cares about our bodies."
"Don't you realize that your body is the temple of the holy spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God?"
Chapter 7:
this one is about marriage and partners which was a little hard for me, but Paul strongly encourages to stay single like he was during this chapter. This is also where he states, each man should have their own wife and each woman should have their own husband.
