1 Corinthians 6

1 Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints?

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 Do ye not know that the saints will judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge 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 Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more, things that pertain to this life?

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

4 If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who 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 speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you? no, not one that will be able to judge between 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 brother goeth to law with brother, and that before unbelievers.

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

7 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 [suffer yourselves to] be defrauded?

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 But ye do wrong, and defraud, and that [your] brethren.

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

9 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,

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 thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom 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 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.

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 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.

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 Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God will destroy both it and them. Now the body [is] not for lewdness, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body.

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 both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power.

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

15 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 a harlot? By no means.

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 What? know ye not that he who is joined to a harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be 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 he that is joined to the Lord is one spirit.

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

18 Flee lewdness. Every sin that a man doeth, is without the body; but he that committeth lewdness, sinneth against his own body.

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 What, know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit [which is] in you, which ye have from God, and ye are not your own?

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 ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.

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