1 كورنثوس 6

١ 1 إِذَا كَانَ بَيْنَكُمْ مَنْ لَهُ دَعْوَى عَلَى آخَرَ، فَهَلْ يَجْرُؤُ أَنْ يُقِيمَهَا لَدَى الظَّالِمِينَ وَلَيْسَ لَدَى الْقِدِّيسِينَ؟

How dare any of you file a lawsuit before pagan judges if you have a dispute with your neighbor! Instead you should bring this before other believers.

٢ 2 أَمَا تَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ الْقِدِّيسِينَ سَيَدِينُونَ الْعَالَمَ؟ وَمَا دُمْتُمْ سَتَدِينُونَ الْعَالَمَ، أَفَلا تَكُونُونَ أَهْلاً لأَنْ تَحْكُمُوا فِي الْقَضَايَا الْبَسِيطَةِ؟

Don't you know that Christian believers will judge the world? If you're going to judge the world, are you not fit to judge in the most minor cases?

٣ 3 أَمَا تَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّنَا سَنَدِينُ الْمَلائِكَةَ؟ أَفَلَيْسَ أَوْلَى بِنَا أَنْ نَحْكُمَ فِي قَضَايَا هَذِهِ الْحَيَاةِ؟

Don't you know we are going to judge angels? How much more those things that relate to this life!

٤ 4 إِذَنْ، إِنْ كَانَ بَيْنَكُمْ خِلافٌ فِي قَضَايَا هَذِهِ الْحَيَاةِ، فَأَجْلِسُوا صِغَارَ الشَّأْنِ فِي الْكَنِيسَةِ لِلْقَضَاءِ.

So if you have to judge things that relate to this life, how can you go to judges that are not respected by the church?

٥ 5 أَقُولُ هَذَا تَخْجِيلاً لَكُمْ. أَهَكَذَا لَيْسَ بَيْنَكُمْ حَتَّى حَكِيمٌ وَاحِدٌ يَقْدِرُ أَنْ يَقْضِيَ بَيْنَ إِخْوَتِهِ!

I'm trying to shame you by saying this. What? You can't find one wise person among you who can settle a dispute that you have?

٦ 6 غَيْرَ أَنَّ الأَخَ يُقَاضِي أَخَاهُ، وَذَلِكَ لَدَى غَيْرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ.

Instead one believer takes another believer to court, and places the issue before unbelievers!

٧ 7 وَالْوَاقِعُ أَنَّهُ مِنَ الْعَيْبِ عَلَى الإِطْلاقِ أَنْ يُقَاضِيَ بَعْضُكُمْ بَعْضاً. أَمَا كَانَ أَحْرَى بِكُمْ أَنْ تَحْتَمِلُوا الظُّلْمَ وَأَحْرَى بِكُمْ أَنْ تَتَقَبَّلُوا السَّلْبَ؟

The very fact you have lawsuits against each other already is a complete disaster. Wouldn't it be better to accept the injustice? Why not let yourselves be defrauded?

٨ 8 وَلكِنَّكُمْ أَنْتُمْ تَظْلِمُونَ وَتَسْلُبُونَ حَتَّى إِخْوَتَكُمْ.

But you would rather cause injustice and defraud even your fellow-believers in church.

٩ 9 أَمَا تَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ الظَّالِمِينَ لَنْ يَرِثُوا مَلَكُوتَ اللهِ؟ لَا تَضِلُّوا: فَإِنَّ مَلَكُوتَ اللهِ لَنْ يَرِثَهُ الزُّنَاةُ وَلا عَابِدُو الأَصْنَامِ وَلا الْفَاسِقُونَ وَلا الْمُتَخَنِّثُونَ وَلا مُضَاجِعُو الذُّكُورِ

Don't you know those who are unjust will not inherit the kingdom of God? Don't be fooled! People who are immoral, worship idols, commit adultery, sexual perverts, homosexuals,

١٠ 10 وَلا السَّرَّاقُونَ وَلا الطَّمَّاعُونَ وَلا السِّكِّيرُونَ وَلا الشَّتَّامُونَ وَلا الْمُغْتَصِبُونَ.

thieves, greedy, drunkards, abusers, or cheats, will not inherit the kingdom of God.

١١ 11 وَهكَذَا كَانَ بَعْضُكُمْ، إِلّا أَنَّكُمْ قَدِ اغْتَسَلْتُمْ، بَلْ تَقَدَّسْتُمْ، بَلْ تَبَرَّرْتُمْ، بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ وَبِرُوحِ إِلهِنَا.

Some of you were once like that, but you have been made clean and holy. You have been made right in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and in the Spirit of our God.

١٢ 12 كُلُّ شَيْءٍ حَلالٌ لِي، وَلكِنْ لَيْسَ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ يَنْفَعُ. كُلُّ شَيْءٍ حَلالٌ لِي، وَلكِنِّي لَنْ أَدَعَ أَيَّ شَيْءٍ يَسُودُ عَلَيَّ.

People say, “I'm free to do anything”—but not everything is appropriate! “I'm free to do anything”—but I will not let anything control me! People say,

١٣ 13 الطَّعَامُ لِلْبَطْنِ، وَالْبَطْنُ لِلطَّعَامِ؛ وَلَكِنَّ اللهَ سَيُبِيدُ هَذَا وَذَاكَ. غَيْرَ أَنَّ الْجَسَدَ لَيْسَ لِلزِّنَى، بَلْ لِلرَّبِّ؛ وَالرَّبُّ لِلْجَسَدِ.

“Food for the stomach, and the stomach for food”—but God will destroy both of them. Also, the body is not meant to be used for immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.

١٤ 14 وَاللهُ قَدْ أَقَامَ الرَّبَّ مِنَ الْمَوْتِ، وَسَيُقِيمُنَا نَحْنُ أَيْضاً بِقُدْرَتِهِ!

By his power God raised the Lord from the dead, and he will raise us up the same way.

١٥ 15 أَمَا تَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ أَجْسَادَكُمْ هِيَ أَعْضَاءُ الْمَسِيحِ؟ فَهَلْ يَجُوزُ أَنْ آخُذَ أَعْضَاءَ الْمَسِيحِ وَأَجْعَلُهَا أَعْضَاءَ زَانِيَةٍ؟ حَاشَا!

Don't you know your bodies are parts of Christ's body? Should I take the parts of Christ's body and join them to a prostitute? Absolutely not!

١٦ 16 أَوَمَا تَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ مَنِ اقْتَرَنَ بِزَانِيَةٍ صَارَ مَعَهَا جَسَداً وَاحِداً؟ فَإِنَّهُ يَقُولُ: «إِنَّ الاثْنَيْنِ يَصِيرَانِ جَسَداً وَاحِداً».

Don't you realize that anyone who has sex with a prostitute becomes “one body” with her? Remember that Scripture says, “The two will become one body.”

١٧ 17 وَأَمَّا مَنِ اتَّحَدَ بِالرَّبِّ، فَقَدْ صَارَ مَعَهُ رُوحاً وَاحِداً!

But whoever is joined to the Lord is one with him in spirit!

١٨ 18 اهْرُبُوا مِنَ الزِّنَا! فَكُلُّ خَطِيئَةٍ يَرْتَكِبُهَا الإِنْسَانُ هِيَ خَارِجَةٌ عَنْ جَسَدِهِ، وَأَمَّا مَنْ يَرْتَكِبُ الزِّنَا، فَهُوَ يُسِيءُ إِلَى جَسَدِهِ الْخَاصِّ.

Stay away from sexual immorality! All other sins that people commit are outside of the body, but sexual immorality is a sin against your own body.

١٩ 19 أَمَا تَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ جَسَدَكُمْ هُوَ هَيْكَلٌ لِلرُّوحِ الْقُدُسِ السَّاكِنِ فِيكُمْ وَالَّذِي هُوَ لَكُمْ مِنَ اللهِ، وَأَنَّكُمْ أَنْتُمْ لَسْتُمْ مِلْكاً لأَنْفُسِكُمْ؟

Don't you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit that is within you, that you received from God?

٢٠ 20 لأَنَّكُمْ قَدِ اشْتُرِيتُمْ بِفِدْيَةٍ. إِذَنْ، مَجِّدُوا اللهَ فِي أَجْسَادِكُمْ.

You don't belong to yourself—a price was paid for you! So glorify God in your body!
