1 Korintofo 6

1 Sɛ akasakasa ba onua ne onua ntam a, adɛn nti na mokɔ abosonsomfo atemmufo anim ma wobu mo atɛn, na monkɔ Awurade nkurɔfo hɔ mmom?

Dare anyone of you, having a matter with the other, go to be judged before the unrighteous, and not before the holy ones?

2 Munnim sɛ atreneefo na wobebu wiase atɛn? Na sɛ ɛsɛ sɛ mo na mubu wiase atɛn a, muntumi mmu atɛn wɔ nsɛm nketenkete ho?

Have you not known that the holy ones will judge the world? And if the world is judged by you, are you unworthy of the smaller judgments?

3 Munnim sɛ yebebu abɔfo atɛn? Mpɛn ahe na yemmu asetena mu nneɛma ho atɛn?

Have you not known that we will judge messengers? Why not then the things of life?

4 Na sɛ nsɛm a ɛte saa ba a, nnipa a wonni dibea wɔ asafo no mu na mobɛma wɔasiesie?

Of the things of life, indeed, then, if you may have judgment, those despised in the Assembly—these you cause to sit;

5 Ɛyɛ animguase ma no! Minim yiye sɛ ɛnyɛ dɛn ara a, onyansafo baako bi wɔ mo mu a obetumi adi onua ne onua ntam asɛm.

I speak to your shame: so there is not among you one wise man, not even one, who will be able to discern in the midst of his brothers!

6 Eye sɛ wɔfa saa ɔkwan yi so anaasɛ onua de onua bɛkɔ asennii ama wɔn a wonni gyidi adi abua wɔn asɛm?

But brother with brother goes to be judged, and this before unbelievers!

7 Sɛ mutumi de mo ho mo ho kɔ asennii no kyerɛ sɛ moadi nkogu dedaw. Anka eye sɛ obi besisi mo anaasɛ ɔbɛyɛ mo bɔne mmom.

Already, indeed, then, there is altogether a fault among you, that you have judgments with one another; why do you not rather suffer injustice? Why not be defrauded?

8 Nanso mo ara mutwa mo ho yɛ mo ho mo ho bɔne, sisi mo ho ne mo nuanom mpo.

But you do injustice, and you defraud, and these—brothers!

9 Mo ara munim sɛ ɔdebɔneyɛni no renkɔ Onyankopɔn ahenni no mu. Monnnaadaa mo ho; mo a mo suban nye, anaa mo a mosom ahoni, anaa aguamammɔfo anaa mmarima a wɔne mmarima da,

Have you not known that the unrighteous will not inherit the Kingdom of God? Do not be led astray; neither whoremongers, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor sodomites,

10 anaa adifudepɛfo, anaa aniberefo, anaa akɔwensafo, anaa mo a mosɛe afoforo din, anaa akorɔmfo no mu biara no rennya kyɛfa biara wɔ Onyankopɔn ahenni no mu.

nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, will inherit the Kingdom of God.

11 Na anka mo mu bi te saa. Nanso wɔahohoro mo bɔne. Wɔde mo ama Onyankopɔn. Ɛnam Honhom Kronkron no ne Awurade Yesu Kristo din mu nti, wɔasiesie mo ne Onyankopɔn ntam.

And certain of you were these! But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were declared righteous, in the Name of the Lord Jesus, and in the Spirit of our God.

12 Obi se, “Mewɔ ho kwan sɛ meyɛ nea mepɛ.” Ɛwɔ mu saa; nanso ɛnyɛ biribiara na eye ma wo. Metumi aka se, “Mewɔ ho kwan sɛ meyɛ biribiara.” Nanso meremma biribiara ho kwan mma ɛmfa me nyɛ akoa.

All things are lawful to me, but all things are not profitable; all things are lawful to me, but I will not be under authority by any;

13 Obi foforo nso bɛka se, “Aduan wɔ hɔ ma ɔyafunu na ɔyafunu nso wɔ hɔ ma aduan.” Ɛyɛ nokware; nanso Onyankopɔn bɛma ne nyinaa aba awiei. Ɛnsɛ sɛ onipa de ne nipadua ma aguamammɔ, na mmom ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde som Awurade, efisɛ nipadua no yɛ Onyankopɔn dea.

the meats [are] for the belly, and the belly for the meats. And God will make useless both this and these; and the body [is] not for whoredom, but for the LORD, and the LORD for the body;

14 Onyankopɔn maa Awurade sɔre fii awufo mu na ɔno nso nam ne tumi so bɛma yɛn nso asɔre afi awufo mu.

and God raised both the LORD, and will raise us up through His power.

15 Munnim sɛ mo nipadua no yɛ Kristo nipadua no akwaa bi ana? Memfa Kristo nipadua akwaa bi mmɔ obi a ɔbɔ aguaman nipadua ho ana? Dabi da.

Have you not known that your bodies are members of Christ? Having taken, then, the members of the Christ, will I make [them] members of a prostitute? Let it not be!

16 Anaa ebia na munnim sɛ onipa a ɔde ne ho bɔ nguamanfo ho nso yɛ oguamanfo? Kyerɛwsɛm no da no adi sɛ, “Wɔn baanu no nyinaa yɛ nipadua koro.”

Have you not known that he who is joined to the prostitute is one body? For it says, “The two will be into one flesh.”

17 Nanso onipa a ɔde ne ho bata Awurade ho no ne no yɛ baako wɔ honhom mu.

And he who is joined to the LORD is one spirit;

18 Mommmɔ aguaman. Bɔne biara a onipa bɛyɛ no nka ne nipadua no, nanso onipa a ɔbɔ aguaman no sɛe ɔno ankasa ne nipadua.

flee the whoredom; every sin—whatever a man may commit—is outside the body, and he who is committing whoredom sins against his own body.

19 Munnim sɛ mo nipadua no yɛ Honhom Kronkron a ɔte mo mu, a Onyankopɔn na ɔde maa mo no asɔredan? Na monne mo ho;

Have you not known that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit in you, which you have from God? And you are not your own,

20 ɔtɔɔ mo aboɔden. Enti momfa mo nipadua no nhyɛ Onyankopɔn anuonyam.

for you were bought with a price; glorify, then, God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.
