1 yuSmAkamekasya janasyApareNa saha vivAde jAte sa pavitralokai rvicAramakArayan kim adhArmmikalokai rvicArayituM protsahate?

When any of you have a dispute against another, do yoʋ dare to go to court before the unrighteous and not before the saints?

2 jagato'pi vicAraNaM pavitralokaiH kAriSyata etad yUyaM kiM na jAnItha? ato jagad yadi yuSmAbhi rvicArayitavyaM tarhi kSudratamavicAreSu yUyaM kimasamarthAH?

Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world is to be judged by you, are you not competent to judge trivial cases?

3 dUtA apyasmAbhi rvicArayiSyanta iti kiM na jAnItha? ata aihikaviSayAH kim asmAbhi rna vicArayitavyA bhaveyuH?

Do you not know that we will judge angels, not to mention matters of this life?

4 aihikaviSayasya vicAre yuSmAbhiH karttavye ye lokAH samitau kSudratamAsta eva niyujyantAM|

If then you have disputes about such matters, do you seat as judges those who have no standing in the church?

5 ahaM yuSmAn trapayitumicchan vadAmi yRSmanmadhye kimeko'pi manuSyastAdRg buddhimAnnahi yo bhrAtRvivAdavicAraNe samarthaH syAt?

I say this to your shame. Is there not a wise man among you, not even one, who would be able to decide between a man and his brother,

6 kiJcaiko bhrAtA bhrAtrAnyena kimavizvAsinAM vicArakANAM sAkSAd vivadate? yaSmanmadhye vivAdA vidyanta etadapi yuSmAkaM doSaH|

but one brother goes to court against another, and they do so before unbelievers?

7 yUyaM kuto'nyAyasahanaM kSatisahanaM vA zreyo na manyadhve?

As it is, to have lawsuits with one another is already a defeat for you. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be defrauded?

8 kintu yUyamapi bhrAtRneva pratyanyAyaM kSatiJca kurutha kimetat?

But you yourselves wrong, and you yourselves defraud, and you do these things to your own brothers!

9 Izvarasya rAjye'nyAyakAriNAM lokAnAmadhikAro nAstyetad yUyaM kiM na jAnItha? mA vaJcyadhvaM, ye vyabhicAriNo devArccinaH pAradArikAH strIvadAcAriNaH puMmaithunakAriNastaskarA

Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived! Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites,

10 lobhino madyapA nindakA upadrAviNo vA ta Izvarasya rAjyabhAgino na bhaviSyanti|

nor the greedy, nor thieves, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.

11 yUyaJcaivaMvidhA lokA Asta kintu prabho ryIzo rnAmnAsmadIzvarasyAtmanA ca yUyaM prakSAlitAH pAvitAH sapuNyIkRtAzca|

And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.

12 madarthaM sarvvaM dravyam apratiSiddhaM kintu na sarvvaM hitajanakaM|madarthaM sarvvamapratiSiddhaM tathApyahaM kasyApi dravyasya vazIkRto na bhaviSyAmi|

“All things are lawful for me,” but not all things are beneficial. “All things are lawful for me,” but I will not be mastered by anything.

13 udarAya bhakSyANi bhakSyebhyazcodaraM, kintu bhakSyodare IzvareNa nAzayiSyete; aparaM deho na vyabhicArAya kintu prabhave prabhuzca dehAya|

Food is for the stomach and the stomach for food, but God will do away with them both. The body is not meant for fornication but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.

14 yazcezvaraH prabhumutthApitavAn sa svazaktyAsmAnapyutthApayiSyati|

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

15 yuSmAkaM yAni zarIrANi tAni khrISTasyAGgAnIti kiM yUyaM na jAnItha? ataH khrISTasya yAnyaGgAni tAni mayApahRtya vezyAyA aGgAni kiM kAriSyante? tanna bhavatu|

Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? Certainly not!

16 yaH kazcid vezyAyAm Asajyate sa tayA sahaikadeho bhavati kiM yUyametanna jAnItha? yato likhitamAste, yathA, tau dvau janAvekAGgau bhaviSyataH|

Do you not know that he who is joined to a prostitute is one with her in body? For it says, “The two will become one flesh.”

17 mAnavA yAnyanyAni kaluSANi kurvvate tAni vapu rna samAvizanti kintu vyabhicAriNA svavigrahasya viruddhaM kalmaSaM kriyate|

But he who is joined to the Lord is one with him in spirit.

18 mAnavA yAnyanyAni kaluSANi kurvvate tAni vapu rna samAvizanti kintu vyabhicAriNA svavigrahasya viruddhaM kalmaSaM kriyate|

Flee fornication. Every other sin that a person commits is outside the body, but he who commits fornication sins against his own body.

19 yuSmAkaM yAni vapUMsi tAni yuSmadantaHsthitasyezvarAllabdhasya pavitrasyAtmano mandirANi yUyaJca sveSAM svAmino nAdhve kimetad yuSmAbhi rna jJAyate?

Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own,

20 yUyaM mUlyena krItA ato vapurmanobhyAm Izvaro yuSmAbhiH pUjyatAM yata Izvara eva tayoH svAmI|

for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God with your body and with your spirit, which belong to God.
