< 1 Corinthians 6 >
1 Dare any one of you, having a matter against another, prosecute his suit before the unjust, and not before the saints?
Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints?
2 Do ye not then know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world is judged by you, are ye unworthy of [the] smallest judgments?
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 Do ye not know that we shall judge angels? and not then matters of this life?
Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?
4 If then ye have judgments as to things of this life, set those [to judge] who are little esteemed in the assembly.
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 you [to put you] to shame. Thus there is not a wise person among you, not even one, who shall be able to decide between his brethren!
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 prosecutes his suit with brother, and that before unbelievers.
But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before unbelievers.
7 Already indeed then it is altogether a fault in you that ye have suits between yourselves. Why do ye not rather suffer wrong? why are ye not rather defrauded?
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 allow yourselves to be defrauded?
8 But ye do wrong, and defraud, and this [your] brethren.
But, ye do wrong, and defraud, and that your brethren.
9 Do ye not know that unrighteous [persons] shall not inherit [the] kingdom of God? Do not err: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor those who make women of themselves, nor who abuse themselves with men,
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 abusive persons, nor [the] rapacious, shall inherit [the] kingdom of God.
Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
11 And these things were some of you; but ye have been washed, but ye have been sanctified, but ye have been justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
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 to me, but all things do not profit; all things are lawful to me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.
All things are lawful to 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 will bring to nothing both it and them: but the body [is] not for fornication, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.
Food is for the stomach, and the stomach is for food: but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for immorality, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body.
14 And God has both raised up the Lord, and will raise us up from among [the dead] by his power.
And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power.
15 Do ye not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then, taking the members of the Christ, make [them] members of a harlot? Far be the thought.
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? By no means.
16 Do ye not know that he [that is] joined to the harlot is one body? for the two, he says, shall be one flesh.
What? know ye not that he who is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh.
17 But he that [is] joined to the Lord is one Spirit.
But he that is joined to the Lord is one spirit.
18 Flee fornication. Every sin which a man may practise is without the body, but he that commits fornication sins against his own body.
Flee immorality. Every sin that a man doeth is outside the body; but he that committeth immorality sinneth against his own body.
19 Do ye not know that your body is [the] temple of the Holy Spirit which [is] in you, which ye have of God; and ye are not your own?
What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, which ye have from God, and ye are not your own?
20 for ye have been bought with a price: glorify now then God in your body.
For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.
