In the interest of brevity. 1 Corinthians 6.

Settle your disputes with fellow Christians within the community.

Don't distort the truth of freedom in Christ to justify immoral behavior. In particular, stay clear of the corrupting influence of sexual immorality.

Any questions?

Sidebar -- God's temple #2.
The Greek here indicates that Paul is now talking about each individual as a temple of God's spirit. In this letter, then, we have a dual understanding of God's indwelling of individuals and of us collectively. Recognition of this fact should moderate our behavior as individuals and as a community.
