1 Corinthians 5-8

Chapter 5
Don't boast when sin goes unchecked among you. Remove the leaven of sin from your house/church.

Chapter 6
When you take each other to court, you prove you can't judge among yourselves. You ought rather be wronged. You are inheriting a kingdom of purity, so act like it.

Chapter 7
Staying single is good. Marriage is also a good provision against temptation. Don't leave an unbelieving spouse unless they leave you. Stay as you were called before believing. There is no official Christian status: single, married, free, slave, circumcised, uncircumcised.
Chapter 8
Eating food offered to idols is no big deal, since an idol is nothing. But if you are with someone still untaught about this, don't scandalize him on purpose.
