In 1 Cor. 6:9–11 Paul warns the Corinthian church against continuing in the sinful lifestyles they practiced before they believed in Christ, but then highlights the power of God’s transforming grace. Those who once lived in sin have been washed (regenerated), sanctified (set apart), and justified (declared righteous in God's sight) through faith in Jesus Christ and the transforming work of the Holy Spirit. Only yhe first two of these works of grace are covered in this episode.
