Chapter 6 warns Christians to let the church settle their disputes (1-8), and flee immorality (9-20).
Since Christians are competent to judge disputes (2-5), and suing another christian in secular court injures the testimony of Christ (6-8), believers should let the church decide their case.
Because those who continue to practice immorality will not enter heaven (9-10), because believers were "washed", "sanctified", and "justified" in Christ (11), because immorality is not profitable (12), because God will raise our bodies and has joined them to Christ (13-17), because immorality is a sin against one's own body (18), because believer's bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit (19), and because believers have been "bought with a price" (20), they should glorify God in their body, by fleeing immorality.
