< 1 Corinthians 6 >

1 DARE any of you, having a suit with his brother, to litigate before the evil, 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 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 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 Know you not that you are to judge angels? How much more those (matters) which are of this world?
Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to 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.
If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed 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 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 a brother with his brother litigates, and, moreover, before those who are unbelievers!
But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before 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?
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 you injure, and you defraud, also your brethren!
But, ye do wrong, and defraud, and that your brethren.
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,
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 drunkards, nor revilers, nor the rapacious, the kingdom of Aloha can inherit.
Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall 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 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 (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.
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 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 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 Aloha hath raised up our Lord, and us will raise by his power.
And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power.
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!
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 Know you not that whosoever attacheth to a harlot is one body? For it is said, The two shall be one body.
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 who attacheth to our Lord is with him one spirit.
But he that is joined to the Lord is one 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 immorality. Every sin that a man doeth is outside the body; but he that committeth immorality sinneth 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,
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 you are bought with the price; therefore glorify Aloha in your body and in your spirit, which are of Aloha.
For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.
