< コリント人への手紙第一 6 >
1 汝 等のうち互に事あるとき、之を聖徒の前に訴へずして、正しからぬ者の前に訴ふることを敢へてする者あらんや。
Dare any of you, having a matter against his neighbour, go to law before the unrighteous, and not before the saints?
2 汝ら知らぬか、聖徒は世を審くべき者なるを。世もし汝らに審かれんには、汝ら最 小き事を審くに足らぬ者ならんや。
Or know ye not that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world is judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters?
3 なんぢら知らぬか、我らは御使を審くべき者なるを、ましてこの世の事をや。
Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more, things that pertain to this life?
4 然るに汝ら審くべき此の世の事のあるとき、教會にて輕しむる所の者を審判の座に坐らしむるか。
If then ye have to judge things pertaining to this life, do ye set them to judge who are of no account in the church?
5 わが斯く言ふは汝らを辱しめんとてなり。汝 等のうちに兄弟の間のことを審き得る智きもの一人だになく、
I say [this] to move you to shame. Is it so, that there cannot be [found] among you one wise man, who shall be able to decide between his brethren,
but brother goeth to law with brother, and that before unbelievers?
7 互に相 訴ふるは既に當しく汝らの失態なり。何 故むしろ不義を受けぬか、何 故むしろ欺かれぬか。
Nay, already it is altogether a defect in you, that ye have lawsuits one with another. Why not rather take wrong? why not rather be defrauded?
8 然るに汝ら不義をなし、詐欺をなし、兄弟にも之を爲す。
Nay, but ye yourselves do wrong, and defraud, and that [your] brethren.
9 汝ら知らぬか、正しからぬ者の神の國を嗣ぐことなきを。自ら欺くな、淫行のもの、偶像を拜むもの、姦淫をなすもの、男娼となるもの、男色を行ふ者、
Or 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 men,
10 盜するもの、貪欲のもの、酒に醉ふもの、罵るもの、奪ふ者などは、みな神の國を嗣ぐことなきなり。
nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
11 汝 等のうち曩には斯くのごとき者ありしかど、主イエス・キリストの名により、我らの神の御靈によりて、己を洗ひかつ潔められ、かつ義とせらるることを得たり。
And such were some of you: but ye were washed, but ye were sanctified, but ye were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and in the Spirit of our God.
12 一切のもの我に可からざるなし、然れど一切のもの益あるにあらず。一切のもの我に可からざるなし、されど我は何 物にも支配せられず、
All things are lawful for me; but not all things are expedient. All things are lawful for me; but I will not be brought under the power of any.
13 食物は腹のため、腹は食物のためなり。されど神は之をも彼をも亡し給はん。身は淫行をなさん爲にあらず、主の爲なり、主はまた身の爲なり。
Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall bring to nought both it and them. But the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body:
14 神は既に主を甦へらせ給へり、又その能力をもて我等をも甦へらせ給はん。
and God both raised the Lord, and will raise up us through his power.
15 汝らの身はキリストの肢體なるを知らぬか、然らばキリストの肢體をとりて遊女の肢體となすべきか、決して然すべからず。
Know ye not that your bodies are members of Christ? shall I then take away the members of Christ, and make them members of a harlot? God forbid.
16 遊女につく者は彼と一つ體となることを知らぬか『二人のもの一體となるべし』と言ひ給へり。
Or know ye not that he that is joined to a harlot is one body? for, The twain, saith he, shall become one flesh.
But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.
18 淫行を避けよ。人のをかす罪はみな身の外にあり、されど淫行をなす者は己が身を犯すなり。
Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.
19 汝らの身は、その内にある神より受けたる聖 靈の宮にして、汝らは己の者にあらざるを知らぬか。
Or know ye not that your body is a temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have from God? and ye are not your own;
20 汝らは價をもて買はれたる者なり、然らばその身をもて神の榮光を顯せ。
for ye were bought with a price: glorify God therefore in your body.
