1 Corinthiens 6
1 Quelqu’un de vous ayant avec un autre un différend, ose l’appeler en jugement devant les infidèles et non devant les saints!
[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]
2 Ne savez-vous pas que les saints jugeront ce monde? Or si le monde doit être jugé par vous, êtes-vous indignes de juger des moindres choses?
[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]
3 Ne savez-vous pas que nous jugerons les anges? Combien plus les choses du siècle?
(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!
4 Si donc vous avez des différends touchant les choses du siècle, établissez, pour les juger, ceux qui tiennent le dernier rang dans l’Eglise.
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]
5 Je le dis pour votre honte: N’y a-t-il donc parmi vous aucun sage qui puisse être juge entre ses frères?
I am saying this to make you ashamed. Surely there is someone among you who is wise enough to judge disputes between believers! [RHQ]
6 Mais un frère plaide contre son frère, et cela devant des infidèles?
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}!
7 C’est déjà certainement pour vous une faute, que vous ayez des procès entre vous. Pourquoi ne supportez-vous pas plutôt d’être lésés? Pourquoi ne supportez-vous pas plutôt la fraude?
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]
8 Mais vous-mêmes, vous lésez, vous fraudez, et cela à l’égard de vos frères.
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]!
9 Ne savez-vous pas que les injustes ne posséderont pas le royaume de Dieu? Ne vous abusez point: ni les fornicateurs, ni les idolâtres, ni les adultères,
(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,
10 Ni les efféminés, ni les abominables, ni les voleurs, ni les avares, ni les ivrognes, ni les médisants, ni les rapaces, ne posséderont le royaume de Dieu.
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.
11 C’est ce que quelques-uns de vous ont été, mais vous avez été lavés, mais vous avez été sanctifiés, mais vous avez été justifiés au nom de Notre Seigneur Jésus-Christ, et par l’Esprit de notre Dieu.
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].
12 Tout m’est permis, mais tout ne m’est pas avantageux. Tout m’est permis, mais je ne serai l’esclave d’aucune chose;
[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].
13 Les aliments sont pour l’estomac, et l’estomac pour les aliments; mais Dieu détruira l’un et l’autre: or le corps n’est point pour la fornication, mais pour le Seigneur, et le Seigneur pour le corps.
[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.
14 Car. comme Dieu a ressuscité le Seigneur, il nous ressuscitera aussi par sa puissance.
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].
15 Ne savez-vous pas que vos corps sont les membres du Christ? Enlevant donc les membres du Christ, en ferai-je des membres de prostituée? À Dieu ne plaise.
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!
16 Ne savez-vous pas que celui qui s’unit à une prostituée devient une même chair avec elle? Car (dit-il) ils seront deux en une seule chair.
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.”
17 Mais celui qui s’unit au Seigneur est un seul esprit avec lui.
But anyone who is united {who joins himself} to the Lord becomes one with him spiritually.
18 Fuyez la fornication. Tout péché, quel qu’il soit, que fait l’homme est hors de son corps; mais celui qui commet la fornication pèche contre son propre corps.
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.
19 Ne savez-vous pas que vos membres sont le temple de l’Esprit-Saint, qui est en vous, que vous avez reçu de Dieu, et qu’ainsi vous n’êtes plus à vous-mêmes?
(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,
20 Car vous avez été achetés à haut prix. Glorifiez et portez Dieu dans votre corps.
[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!
