< I Koryntian 6 >
1 Czemu dopuszczacie do tego, że ktoś, oskarżając innego wierzącego, idzie do pogańskiego sądu, zamiast przyjść po pomoc do świętych?
[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 Czy nie wiecie, że my, święci, będziemy w przyszłości sądzić ten świat? Skoro więc będziecie sędziami świata, to czy nie możecie rozstrzygać także drobniejszych spraw?
[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 Przecież będziemy osądzać nawet aniołów w niebie, a co dopiero zwykłe sprawy!
(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 Po co więc chodzicie z takimi problemami do sędziów, którzy przecież nie są wierzący?
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 Jak widzicie, próbuję was zawstydzić. Czy wśród was nie ma nikogo na tyle mądrego, żeby mógł rozstrzygnąć spór?
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 Czy musicie oskarżać się przed niewierzącymi?
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 Już samo procesowanie się między wierzącymi jest godne potępienia. Dlaczego nie chcecie raczej doznać niesprawiedliwości i krzywdy?
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 Tymczasem to wy krzywdzicie i wyrządzacie szkodę innym wierzącym!
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 Czy nie wiecie, że nieprawi nie będą mieli udziału w królestwie Bożym? Nie łudźcie się! Do królestwa nie wejdą ci, którzy prowadzą rozwiązłe życie lub oddają cześć podobiznom bożków. Nie wejdą tam także ci, którzy popełniają grzech niewierności małżeńskiej, żyją niemoralnie albo są homoseksualistami. W królestwie tym nie będzie również miejsca dla złodziei, ludzi zachłannych, pijaków i tych, którzy obmawiają lub oszukują innych.
(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 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 A wy tacy właśnie byliście! Wasze grzechy zostały jednak zmyte i zostaliście przeznaczeni dla Boga oraz uniewinnieni dzięki naszemu Panu, Jezusowi Chrystusowi, i Duchowi naszego Boga.
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 Wszystko mi wolno, ale nie wszystko przynosi pożytek. Wszystko mi wolno, ale ja niczemu nie dam się zniewolić.
[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 Istnieje jedzenie i jest żołądek, do którego ono trafia. Ale i jedno, i drugie nie będzie trwać wiecznie. Pamiętajcie, że ciała nie otrzymaliśmy po to, aby prowadzić rozwiązłe życie. Nasze ciało należy do Pana, a On troszczy się o nie.
[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 Bóg swoją mocą wskrzesi nasze martwe ciała do życia, podobnie jak wskrzesił naszego Pana.
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 Nie zapominajcie, że wasze ciała są częściami ciała Chrystusa. Czy można je więc oderwać od ciała Chrystusa i połączyć z prostytutką? Przenigdy!
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 Pamiętajcie! Ten, kto łączy się z prostytutką staje się z nią jednym ciałem! Przecież Pismo mówi wyraźnie: „Ci dwoje staną się jednym ciałem”.
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 Kto zaś łączy się z Panem, trwa w duchowej jedności z Nim.
But anyone who is united {who joins himself} to the Lord becomes one with him spiritually.
18 Unikajcie rozwiązłości seksualnej jak ognia! Każdy popełniony grzech ostatecznie zostaje poza naszym ciałem. Natomiast grzech seksualny godzi w nasze ciało.
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 Czy nie rozumiecie, że wasze ciało jest świątynią, w której mieszka Duch Święty, dany wam przez Boga, i że nie należycie już do siebie samych?
(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 Zostaliście wykupieni za wysoką cenę! Niech więc wasze ciała przynoszą chwałę Bogu!
[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!
