1 Corinthians 6:8Plain English VersionBut instead of that, you mob are doing those bad things yourselves. That is wrong. You even do bad things to other Christians, and you even rob other Christians. See the chapter |
You know God’s laws, – Don’t murder anyone. – Don’t sleep with a woman that is not your wife, as if you are married to her. – Don’t steal things that belong to other people. – Don’t tell lies about anybody. – Don’t trick people to get something from them. – You always have to respect your father and your mother.”
None of you men can ever sleep with a woman that is not your own wife. If you do that, you are doing a bad thing to her husband. He is the only person that can sleep with her, so don’t cheat him out of that. Don’t do that bad thing to another Christian, or to anyone else. God is the one that will punish you if you do that. We told you about that when we were with you, and we mean it.
You cheated to get that money. You got men to work on your farm, and they cut down the food crop that grew there, and they brought all that food to you. But you didn’t pay them for that work. You sent them away with no pay. Then they cried about it, and our God heard them. He is very strong, and he can see that you cheated them. God can see their money. It is still in your pocket. So God will make big trouble for you.
