1 Corinthians 6
1 If one of you has a grievance against an opponent, does he dare to go to law before irreligious men and not before God's people?
Audet aliquis vestrum habens negotium adversus alterum, iudicari apud iniquos, et non apud sanctos?
2 Do you not know that God's people will sit in judgement upon the world? And if you are the court before which the world is to be judged, are you unfit to deal with these petty matters?
An nescitis quoniam sancti de hoc mundo iudicabunt? Et si in vobis iudicabitur mundus, indigni estis qui de minimis iudicetis?
3 Do you not know that we are to sit in judgement upon angels--to say nothing of things belonging to this life?
Nescitis quoniam angelos iudicabimus? quanto magis saecularia?
4 If therefore you have things belonging to this life which need to be decided, is it men who are absolutely nothing in the Church--is it they whom you make your judges?
Saecularia igitur iudicia si habueritis: contemptibiles, qui sunt in Ecclesia, illos constituite ad iudicandum.
5 I say this to put you to shame. Has it come to this, that there does not exist among you a single wise man competent to decide between a man and his brother,
Ad verecundiam vestram dico. Sic non est inter vos sapiens quisquam, qui possit iudicare inter fratrem suum?
6 but brother goes to law with brother, and that before unbelievers?
Sed frater cum fratre iudicio contendit: et hoc apud infideles?
7 To say no more, then, it is altogether a defect in you that you have law-suits with one another. Why not rather endure injustice? Why not rather submit to being defrauded?
Iam quidem omnino delictum est in vobis, quod iudicia habetis inter vos. Quare non magis iniuriam accipitis? quare non magis fraudem patimini?
8 On the contrary you yourselves inflict injustice and fraud, and upon brethren too.
Sed vos iniuriam facitis, et fraudatis: et hoc fratribus.
9 Do you not know that unrighteous men will not inherit God's Kingdom? Cherish no delusion here. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor any who are guilty of unnatural crime,
An nescitis quia iniqui regnum Dei non possidebunt? Nolite errare: Neque fornicarii, neque idolis servientes, neque adulteri,
10 nor theives, nor avaricious people, nor any who are addicted to hard drinking, to abusive language or to greed of gain, will inherit God's Kingdom.
neque molles, neque masculorum concubitores, neque fures, neque avari, neque ebriosi, neque maledici, neque rapaces regnum Dei possidebunt.
11 And all this describes what some of you were. But now you have had every stain washed off: now you have been set apart as holy: now you have been pronounced free from guilt; in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ and through the Spirit of our God.
Et haec quidem fuistis: sed abluti estis, sed sanctificati estis, sed iustificati estis in nomine Domini nostri Iesu Christi, et in Spiritu Dei nostri.
12 Everything is allowable to me, but not everything is profitable. Everything is allowable to me, but to nothing will I become a slave.
Omnia mihi licent, sed non omnia expediunt: Omnia mihi licent, sed ego sub nullis redigar potestate.
13 Food of all kinds is meant for the stomach, and the stomach is meant for food, and God will cause both of them to perish. Yet the body does not exist for the purpose of fornication, but for the Master's service, and the Master exists for the body;
Esca ventri, et venter escis: Deus autem et hunc, et has destruet: corpus autem non fornicationi, sed Domino: et Dominus corpori.
14 and as God by His power raised the Master to life, so He will also raise us up.
Deus vero et Dominum suscitavit: et nos suscitabit per virtutem suam.
15 Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take away the members of Christ and make them the members of a prostitute? No, indeed.
Nescitis quoniam corpora vestra membra sunt Christi? Tollens ergo membra Christi, faciam membra meretricis? Absit.
16 Or do you not know that a man who has to do with a prostitute is one with her in body? For God says, "The two shall become one."
An nescitis quoniam qui adhaeret meretrici, unum corpus efficitur? Erunt enim (inquit) duo in carne una.
17 But he who is in union with the Master is one with Him in spirit.
Qui autem adhaeret Domino, unus spiritus est.
18 Flee from fornication. Any other sin that a human being commits lies outside the body; but he who commits fornication sins against his own body.
Fugite fornicationem. Omne enim peccatum, quodcumque fecerit homo, extra corpus est: qui autem fornicatur, in corpus suum peccat.
19 Or do you not know that your bodies are a sanctuary of the Holy Spirit who is within you--the Spirit whom you have from God?
An nescitis quoniam membra vestra, templum sunt Spiritus sancti, qui in vobis est, quem habetis a Deo, et non estis vestri?
20 And you are not your own, for you have been redeemed at infinite cost. Therefore glorify God in your bodies.
Empti enim estis pretio magno. Glorificate, et portate Deum in corpore vestro.
