1 Corinthians 6

1 DARE any of you, having a suit with his brother, to litigate before the evil, and not before the saints?

If any of you has a grievance against another, how dare he go to law before the unrighteous instead of before the saints!

2 Or know you not that the saints shall judge the world? And if the world by you is judged, are you not worthy to judge small matters?

Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if you are to judge the world, are you not competent to judge trivial cases?

3 Know you not that you are to judge angels? How much more those (matters) which are of this world?

Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more the things of this life!

4 But if you have matters to be judged regarding the world, those who are little-esteemed in the church make you to sit in judgment.

So if you need to settle everyday matters, do you appoint as judges those of no standing in the church?

5 But to your reproach am I to say to you, So there is not among you even one wise man, who is able to adjust between a brother and his brother?

I say this to your shame. Is there really no one among you wise enough to arbitrate between his brothers?

6 But a brother with his brother litigates, and, moreover, before those who are unbelievers!

Instead, one brother goes to law against another, and this in front of unbelievers!

7 Now, therefore, you make yourselves guilty while you have litigation one with another. For why do you not bear injury? and why do you not suffer fraud?

The very fact that you have lawsuits among you means that you are thoroughly defeated already. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be cheated?

8 But you injure, and you defraud, also your brethren!

Instead, you yourselves cheat and do wrong, even against your own brothers!

9 Or, know you not that the unjust the kingdom of Aloha cannot inherit? Do not err; neither fornicators, nor the servers of idols, nor adulterers, nor corrupters, nor liers with men, nor the oppressive,

Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who submit to or perform homosexual acts,

10 nor thieves, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor the rapacious, the kingdom of Aloha can inherit.

nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor verbal abusers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God.

11 And these were some of you but you are washed, and sanctified, and justified in the name of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, and by the Spirit of our God.

And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.

12 ALL (food) is lawful to me, but all is not expedient for me. All is lawful to me, but over me no one shall have power.

“Everything is permissible for me,” but not everything is beneficial. “Everything is permissible for me,” but I will not be mastered by anything.

13 Food is for the belly, and the belly for food; but Aloha will abolish them both. But the body was not for fornication, but for our Lord, and our Lord for the body.

“Food for the stomach and the stomach for food,” but God will destroy them both. The body is not intended for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.

14 And Aloha hath raised up our Lord, and us will raise by his power.

By His power God raised the Lord from the dead, and He will raise us also.

15 Know you not that your bodies are members of the Meshiha? Shall one take a member of the Meshiha to make it a member of a harlot? Never!

Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and unite them with a prostitute? Never!

16 Know you not that whosoever attacheth to a harlot is one body? For it is said, The two shall be one body.

Or don’t you know that he who unites himself with a prostitute is one with her in body? For it is said, “The two will become one flesh.”

17 But, he who attacheth to our Lord is with him one spirit.

But he who unites himself with the Lord is one with Him in spirit.

18 Flee from fornication: for every sin which a man committeth is without his body; but he who committeth fornication against his own body sinneth.

Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a man can commit is outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body.

19 Or, know you not that your body is the temple of the Spirit of Holiness, who dwelleth in you, (even) Him whom you have received from Aloha? And you are not your own,

Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own;

20 for you are bought with the price; therefore glorify Aloha in your body and in your spirit, which are of Aloha.

you were bought at a price. Therefore glorify God with your body.
