1 Corinthians 6

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

Dare anyone of you, having a matter with the other, go to be judged before the unrighteous, and not before the holy ones?

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?

Have you not known that the holy ones will judge the world? And if the world is judged by you, are you unworthy of the smaller judgments?

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

Have you not known that we will judge messengers? Why not then the things of life?

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

Of the things of life, indeed, then, if you may have judgment, those despised in the Assembly—these you cause to sit;

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: so there is not among you one wise man, not even one, who will be able to discern in the midst of his brothers!

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

But brother with brother goes to be judged, and this before 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?

Already, indeed, then, there is altogether a fault among you, that you have judgments with one another; why do you not rather suffer injustice? Why not be defrauded?

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

But you do injustice, and you defraud, and these—brothers!

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,

Have you not known that the unrighteous will not inherit the Kingdom of God? Do not be led astray; neither whoremongers, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor sodomites,

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

nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, will 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 certain of you were these! But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were declared righteous, in the Name of the Lord Jesus, and in 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 things are lawful to me, but all things are not profitable; all things are lawful to me, but I will not be under authority 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.

the meats [are] for the belly, and the belly for the meats. And God will make useless both this and these; and the body [is] not for whoredom, 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 raised both the LORD, and will raise us up through 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.

Have you not known that your bodies are members of Christ? Having taken, then, the members of the Christ, will I make [them] members of a prostitute? Let it 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.

Have you not known that he who is joined to the prostitute is one body? For it says, “The two will be into one flesh.”

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

And he who 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.

flee the whoredom; every sin—whatever a man may commit—is outside the body, and he who is committing whoredom 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.

Have you not known that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit in you, which you have from God? And 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 were bought with a price; glorify, then, God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.
