IPD Fornicator

King James Version (1769) with Strongs Numbers and Morphology: I Corinthians Chapter 6
 [1] Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints?
 [2] Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters?
 [3] Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?
 [4] If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church.
 [5] I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you? no, not one that shall be able to judge between his brethren?
 [6] But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before the unbelievers.
 [7] Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law one with another. Why do ye not rather take wrong? why do ye not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded?
 [8] Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, and that your brethren.
 [9] Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
 [10] Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
 [11] And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
 [12] All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.
 [13] Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body.
 [14] And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power.
 [15] Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid.
 [16] What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh.
 [17] But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.
 [18] Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.
 [19] What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
 [20] For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.
(Ezekiel 22:10 [KJV]) In thee have they discovered their fathers’ nakedness: in thee have they humbled her that was set apart for pollution.
King James Version (1769) with Strongs Numbers and Morphology: Proverbs Chapter 7
 [1] My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with thee.
 [2] Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of thine eye.
 [3] Bind them upon thy fingers, write them upon the table of thine heart.
 [4] Say unto wisdom, Thou art my sister; and call understanding thy kinswoman:
 [5] That they may keep thee from the strange woman, from the stranger which flattereth with her words.
 [6] For at the window of my house I looked through my casement,
 [7] And beheld among the simple ones, I discerned among the youths, a young man void of understanding,
 [8] Passing through the street near her corner; and he went the way to her house,
 [9] In the twilight, in the evening, in the black and dark night:
 [10] And, behold, there met him a woman with the attire of an harlot, and subtil of heart.
 [11] (She is loud and stubborn; her feet abide not in her house:
 [12] Now is she without, now in the streets, and lieth in wait at every corner.)
 [13] So she caught him, and kissed him, and with an impudent face said unto him,
 [14] I have peace offerings with me; this day have I payed my vows.
 [15] Therefore came I forth to meet thee, diligently to seek thy face, and I have found thee.
 [16] I have decked my bed with coverings of tapestry, with carved works, with fine linen of Egypt.
 [17] I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.
 [18] Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning: let us solace ourselves with loves.
 [19] For the goodman is not at home, he is gone a long journey:
 [20] He hath taken a bag of money with him, and will come home at the day appointed.
 [21] With her much fair speech she caused him to yield, with the flattering of her lips she forced him.
 [22] He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks;
 [23] Till a dart strike through his liver; as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it is for his life.
 [24] Hearken unto me now therefore, O ye children, and attend to the words of my mouth.
 [25] Let not thine heart decline to her ways, go not astray in her paths.
 [26] For she hath cast down many wounded: yea, many strong men have been slain by her.
 [27] Her house is the way to hell, going down to the chambers of death.

What shall we do with a fornicator

Paul warns about the fornicator in 1cor5, its a 1cor5brother. On the other hand you don't want to be a foolish shephard or a hypocrite which you could become if you think you are better than the 1cor5 brother because aren't we all to some degree covetous.

(Matthew 7:1-2 [KJV])
 [1] Judge not, that ye be not judged.
 [2] For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
