1 Corinthians 6

1 Dare any of you, hauing businesse against an other, be iudged vnder the vniust, and not vnder the Saintes?

Does any one of you that has a matter of dispute with another, presume to be judged before the unrighteous, and not before the saints?

2 Doe ye not knowe, that the Saintes shall iudge the worlde? If the worlde then shalbe iudged by you, are ye vnworthie to iudge the smallest matters?

Know you not that the saints shall judge the world? And if the world is to be judged by you, are you unworthy to decide concerning the smallest matters?

3 Knowe ye not that we shall iudge the Angels? howe much more, things that perteine to this life?

Know you not that we shall judge angels? Much more then, things pertaining to this life.

4 If then ye haue iudgements of things perteining to this life, set vp them which are least esteemed in the Church.

If, then, you have controversies pertaining to things of this life, set them to judge who are the least esteemed in the church.

5 I speake it to your shame. Is it so that there is not a wise man among you? no not one, that can iudge betweene his brethren?

I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not among you a wise man, not even one, who shall be able to arbitrate between his brethren?

6 But a brother goeth to law with a brother, and that vnder the infidels.

But brother goes to law with brother, and this before the unbelievers?

7 Nowe therefore there is altogether infirmitie in you, in that yee goe to lawe one with another: why rather suffer ye not wrong? why rather susteine yee not harme?

Now, certainly, you are altogether in fault, that you have law-suits with one another. Why do you not rather suffer injustice? Why do you not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded?

8 Nay, yee your selues doe wrong, and doe harme, and that to your brethren.

But you act unjustly, and you defraud, and that, too, your brethren.

9 Knowe yee not that the vnrighteous shall not inherite the kingdome of God? Be not deceiued: neither fornicatours, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor wantons, nor buggerers,

Know you not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived; neither lewd persons, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor catamites, nor sodomites,

10 Nor theeues, nor couetous, nor drunkards, nor railers, nor extortioners shall inherite the kingdome of God.

nor thieves, nor defrauders, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

11 And such were some of you: but yee are washed, but yee are sanctified, but yee are iustified in the Name of the Lord Iesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

And such were some of you: but you are washed, but you are sanctified, but you are justified, in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

12 All thinges are lawfull vnto mee, but all thinges are not profitable. I may doe all things, but I will not be brought vnder the power of any thing.

All meats are lawful for me: but all are not profitable. All are lawful for me; but I will not be brought under subjection by any.

13 Meates are ordeined for the bellie, and the belly for the meates: but God shall destroy both it, and them. Nowe the bodie is not for fornication, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the bodie.

Meats for the stomach, and the stomach for meats; but God will destroy both it and them. But the body is not for lewdness, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body:

14 And God hath also raised vp the Lord, and shall raise vs vp by his power.

and God has raised, up the Lord, and will also raise us up by his power.

15 Knowe yee 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.

Know you not that your bodies are the members of Christ? Shall I, then, take the members of the Christ, and make them the members of a harlot? It must not be.

16 Doe ye not knowe, that he which coupleth himselfe with an harlot, is one body? for two, sayeth he, shalbe one flesh.

Know you not that he that is joined to a harlot, is one body? For the two, says the scripture, shall be one flesh.

17 But hee that is ioyned vnto the Lord, is one spirite.

But he that is joined to the Lord, is one spirit.

18 Flee fornication: euery sinne that a man doeth, is without the bodie: but hee that committeth fornication, sinneth against his owne bodie.

Shun lewdness. Every sin that a man commits, is without the body; but he that is guilty of lewdness sins against his own body.

19 Knowe yee not, that your body is the temple of the holy Ghost, which is in you, whom ye haue of God? and yee are not your owne.

Know you not that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, which you have from God, and that you are not your own?

20 For yee are bought for a price: therefore glorifie God in your bodie, and in your spirit: for they are Gods.

For you have been bought with a price: therefore, glorify God in your body.
