1 Corinthians 6
1 [Now another matter]: When any of you [believers] accuses another believer about some matter, he takes that matter to judges who are not believers, [for them to decide the case], instead of asking God’s people [to decide it]. (That is disgusting!/Why do you do that?) [RHQ]
be bold one you thing to have/be to/with the/this/who other to judge upon/to/against the/this/who unjust and not! upon/to/against the/this/who holy: saint
2 [I want] you to know that [we who are] God’s people will [some day] judge those who are unbelievers. [RHQ] So, since you will be judging unbelievers, you certainly are capable of judging between [believers who disagree on] small matters! [RHQ]
(or *NO*) no to know that/since: that the/this/who holy: saint the/this/who world to judge and if in/on/among you to judge the/this/who world unworthy to be court/lawsuit least
3 (You should keep in mind that we will even judge angels!/Do you not know that we will even judge angels?) [RHQ] So we certainly should be able to judge about [matters that relate to how we] conduct our lives here on earth!
no to know that/since: that angel to judge surely not indeed of this life
4 Therefore, when you [believers] have a dispute, you should certainly not choose as judges [to decide your case] people whom the congregation cannot respect [because those judges are not believers]! [RHQ]
of this life on the other hand therefore/then court/lawsuit if to have/be the/this/who to reject in/on/among the/this/who assembly this/he/she/it to seat
5 I am saying this to make you ashamed. Surely there is someone among you who is wise enough to judge disputes between believers! [RHQ]
to/with shame you to say thus(-ly) no (there is *N(k)O*) in/on/among you (none *N(k)O*) wise which be able to judge/doubt each midst the/this/who brother it/s/he
6 But instead, some believers [among you] accuse other believers in a legal court. And what is worse, you let the cases be judged by unbelievers {unbelievers judge the cases}!
but brother with/after brother to judge and this/he/she/it upon/to/against unbelieving
7 The fact that you have any lawsuits among you [shows that] you have completely failed [as Christians] (OR, [allowed Satan to] defeat you). You should [allow other believers] to wrong you [without taking them to court!]! [RHQ] You should not accuse them when [they] cheat you! [RHQ]
already on the other hand therefore/then at all loss (in/on/among *k*) you to be that/since: since judgment to have/be with/after themself through/because of which? not! more: rather to harm through/because of which? not! more: rather to defraud
8 But [what is happening is that] some of you are cheating others and doing wrong to them. [That is bad]. But you are doing that to fellow believers, [and that is worse]!
but you to harm and to defraud and (this/he/she/it *N(k)O*) brother
9 (You should keep in mind that wicked people will not become [members of] the group over whom God will rule./Do you not know that wicked people will not become [members of] the group over whom God will rule?) [RHQ] Do not be deceived {Do not deceive yourselves} [by thinking wrongly about these matters]. People who are sexually immoral, or who worship idols, or who (commit adultery/have sex with someone to whom they are not married), or who happily allow others to commit homosexual acts with them, or who take the initiative in committing homosexual acts,
or no to know that/since: that unjust God kingdom no to inherit not to lead astray neither sexual sinner neither idolater neither adulterer neither soft/effeminate neither sodomite
10 or who are thieves, or who desire and forcefully seize things that belong to others, or who are drunkards, or who slander others, or who are swindlers, will not enter the place where God rules.
neither thief neither greedy (no *N(k)O*) drunkard no reviler no rapacious kingdom God (no *k*) to inherit
11 Some of you previously did things like that. But [God] has freed/cleansed you [MET] [from your sinful behavior]. [He] has set you apart for himself. [He] has erased the record of your sins [because you trusted] [MTY] in the Lord Jesus Christ and because of what the Spirit of our God [has done for you].
and this/he/she/it one to be but to wash off but to sanctify but to justify in/on/among the/this/who name the/this/who lord: God (me *O*) Jesus (Christ *NO*) and in/on/among the/this/who spirit/breath: spirit the/this/who God me
12 [Some of you may say], “God allows us to do anything [that he does not forbid].” But [I would reply], “[That is true], but not everything that God permits us to do helps us.” [Yes, as some of you say], God permits us to do anything [that he does not forbid]. But as for me, I will not let anything make me [its slave; that is, I will not do anything that will gain control over me in such a way that I will not be able to stop doing it].
all me be permitted but no all be profitable all me be permitted but no I/we to have authority by/under: by one
13 [Some of you may also say], “Food is just for [us to put in] the stomach, and the stomach is just for [us to put] food [in]. And since God will do away with food and stomachs [when he gives us our new bodies, what we do with our bodies sexually does not affect us any more than eating food does.” But what you have concluded is wrong, because] the Lord does not [want us to use] our bodies to do sexually immoral things. Instead, the Lord [wants us to use our bodies in ways that please him]. Also, the Lord [wants us to do what is good] for our bodies.
the/this/who food the/this/who belly/womb/stomach and the/this/who belly/womb/stomach the/this/who food the/this/who then God and this/he/she/it and this/he/she/it to abate the/this/who then body no the/this/who sexual sin but the/this/who lord: God and the/this/who lord: God the/this/who body
14 God, by his power, caused the Lord [Jesus] to live again after he died, and he will cause us to live again after we die, [which shows that he is very concerned about our bodies].
the/this/who then God and the/this/who lord: God to arise and me to raise through/because of the/this/who power it/s/he
15 You should keep in mind that your bodies belong to Christ. [RHQ] So, should I [or any other believer] [RHQ] take our body, which belongs to Christ, and join it [sexually] to a prostitute? No, certainly not!
no to know that/since: that the/this/who body you member Christ to be to take up therefore/then the/this/who member the/this/who Christ to do/make: do prostitute member not to be
16 When a man has sexual relations [EUP] with a prostitute, [it is as though] their two bodies become one body. (You should never forget that!/Do you not know that?) [RHQ] What [Moses] wrote [about people who join together sexually is], “The two of them will become [as though they are] one body.”
or no to know that/since: that the/this/who to join the/this/who prostitute one body to be to be for to assert the/this/who two toward flesh one
17 But anyone who is united {who joins himself} to the Lord becomes one with him spiritually.
the/this/who then to join the/this/who lord: God one spirit/breath: spirit to be
18 Always (run away from/avoid) committing sexually immoral acts. Other sins that people commit do not affect their bodies, but those who commit sexually immoral acts sin against their own bodies.
to flee the/this/who sexual sin all sin which if to do/make: do a human outside/except the/this/who body to be the/this/who then to sin sexually toward the/this/who one's own/private body to sin
19 (Keep in mind that your bodies are [like] [MET] temples of the Holy Spirit./Do you not know that your bodies are [like] [MET] temples of the Holy Spirit?) [RHQ] The Spirit, whom God gave you, lives within you. You do not belong to yourselves. You belong to God,
or no to know that/since: that the/this/who body you temple the/this/who in/on/among you holy spirit/breath: spirit to be which to have/be away from God and no to be themself
20 [because when his Son died for you it was as though] [MET] [God] paid a price for you. So honor God by [how you use] your bodies!
to buy for honor to glorify so the/this/who God in/on/among the/this/who body you (and in/on/among the/this/who spirit/breath: spirit you who/which to be the/this/who God *K*)
