Taking Brother Go Meet Unbelievers For Court

Believers dey drag each other go pagan court — dat one don already be defeat; e better make dem cheat you. Then dem test dia slogan about freedom against sexual sin: dia body na Christ own parts and di Spirit temple, dem buy am with price, so make una glorify our Papa for una body.

Chapter 6.

When one of una get quarrel with anoda person, you get liver to carry am go before people wey no dey do correct-and-holy way make dem judge am, instead of make you carry am go before God im people? Abi una no know say na di saints go judge di world? So if na una go judge di world, e mean say una no fit settle small-small matter? Una no know say na we go judge angels? Come see how much more na we go settle di matter wey concern dis life! So den, when una get dis kind quarrel, na people wey no count for anytin for di church una dey put make dem be judge? Na to shame una I dey talk dis one. E mean say person wey get sense no dey among una wey fit judge between believers wey be brother? Instead, one brother dey carry anoda brother go court, and na for front of unbelievers sef! Di fact say una dey take each oda go court na complete defeat for una already. Why una no just let dem wrong una? Why una no just let dem cheat una? Instead, na una una-self dey do wrong and dey cheat, and na to una own brother and sister una dey do am.

Abi una no know say people wey no dey do correct-and-holy way no go inherit di kingdom of our Papa? No make dem deceive una: no person wey dey do sexual immorality, no person wey dey worship idol, no man wey dey commit adultery, no man wey dey sell im body for sex, no man wey dey sleep with man, no tiff, no person wey belle no dey full, no drunkard, no person wey dey insult, no cheat—na dem go inherit di kingdom of our Papa. Some of una be like dat before. But dem wash una, dem make una holy, dem set una correct for di name of Oga Jesus Christ and by di Spirit of our Papa.

“I free to do anytin”—but no be everytin dey help person. “I free to do anytin”—but I no go let anytin control me. “Food na for belle and belle na for food”—and our Papa go destroy di two of dem. But di body no be for sexual sin—na for Oga, and Oga na for di body. And our Papa, wey raise Oga up, go raise us up too by im power. Una no know say una body na parts of Christ? So I go take di parts of Christ come make dem parts of prostitute? God no gree! Abi una no know say anybody wey join imself to prostitute don become one body with am? For e talk say, “Di two go become one flesh.” But anybody wey join imself to Oga na one spirit with am.

Run comot from sexual immorality. Every oda sin wey person dey commit dey outside di body, but di person wey dey do sexual immorality dey sin against im own body. Abi una no know say una body na temple of di Holy Spirit wey dey inside una, wey una get from our Papa? Una no be una own, for dem buy una with price. So make una glorify our Papa for una body.
