DON’T SUE THE SAINTS

When one of you has a grievance against another, does he dare go to law before the unrighteous instead of the saints?
THE UNRIGHTEOUS WILL NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM

I WILL NOT BE DOMINATED BY ANYTHING

YOUR BODY IS NOT YOUR OWN IN MARRIAGE

I say this for your own benefit, not to lay any restraint upon you, but to promote good order and to secure your undivided devotion to the Lord.
DISCIPLINE YOUR BODY
1 Corinthians 9:24-27
Every athlete exercises self-control in all things. They do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable… I discipline my body and keep it under control, lest after preaching to others I myself should be disqualified.
TAKE HEED LEST YOU FALL
1 Corinthians 10:12
Therefore let anyone who thinks that he stands take heed lest he fall.
