1 Corinthians 6

1 How dare any of you file a lawsuit before pagan judges if you have a dispute with your neighbor! Instead you should bring this before other believers.

‌ʻOku mou pehē, ʻoku ngofua ia kiate kimoutolu, ʻo kapau ʻoku ai ha meʻa ki ha tokotaha, ke fakamaau ia ʻi he ʻao ʻoe taʻeangatonu, kae ʻikai ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kāinga māʻoniʻoni?

2 Don't you know that Christian believers will judge the world? If you're going to judge the world, are you not fit to judge in the most minor cases?

‌ʻIkai ʻoku mou ʻilo ʻe fakamaau ʻa māmani ʻe he kakai māʻoniʻoni? Pea kapau ʻe fakamaau ʻa māmani ʻekimoutolu, ʻoku taʻetaau ʻakimoutolu ke fakamaau ʻae ngaahi meʻa siʻi?

3 Don't you know we are going to judge angels? How much more those things that relate to this life!

‌ʻIkai ʻoku mou ʻilo te tau fakamaau ʻae kau ʻāngelo? Pea ʻikai ʻe muʻa hake lahi ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻoe moʻui ni?

4 So if you have to judge things that relate to this life, how can you go to judges that are not respected by the church?

Pea kapau ʻoku ai ha fakamaau ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻoe moʻui ni, pea ʻoku mou fili [ke fai ia ]ʻekinautolu ʻoku māʻulalo hifo ʻi he siasi?

5 I'm trying to shame you by saying this. What? You can't find one wise person among you who can settle a dispute that you have?

‌ʻOku ou lea ko homou fakamā. [He ]ʻoku pehē koā, ʻoku ʻikai ʻaupito ha tokotaha poto ʻiate kimoutolu? ʻOku ʻikai ha tokotaha ʻoku faʻa fai ke fakamaau ki hono ngaahi kāinga?

6 Instead one believer takes another believer to court, and places the issue before unbelievers!

Ka ʻoku fefakamaauʻaki ʻae kāinga mo e kāinga, pea fai ia ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kau taʻetui?

7 The very fact you have lawsuits against each other already is a complete disaster. Wouldn't it be better to accept the injustice? Why not let yourselves be defrauded?

Pea ko eni, ʻoku ai ʻae kovi lahi ʻiate kimoutolu, koeʻuhi ʻoku mou fefakamaauʻaki ʻakimoutolu. Ko e hā muʻa ʻoku ʻikai ai te mou kātaki ʻae kovi? Ko e hā muʻa ʻoku ʻikai ai te mou kātaki homou fakamālohiʻi?

8 But you would rather cause injustice and defraud even your fellow-believers in church.

Tā ko e moʻoni ʻoku mou fai hala, pea fakamālohi, ʻio, ki he kāinga foki.

9 Don't you know those who are unjust will not inherit the kingdom of God? Don't be fooled! People who are immoral, worship idols, commit adultery, sexual perverts, homosexuals,

‌ʻIkai ʻoku mou ʻilo, ʻe ʻikai hoko ʻe he taʻefaitotonu ki he puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua? ʻOua naʻa kākaaʻi ʻakimoutolu: ko e kau feʻauaki, mo e kau tauhi tamapua, mo e kau tono fefine, mo e kau moʻui fakafiemālie, mo e kau fiefai fakalieliaʻaki ʻiate kinautolu,

10 thieves, greedy, drunkards, abusers, or cheats, will not inherit the kingdom of God.

Mo e kau kaihaʻa, mo e manumanu, mo e kau faʻa kona, mo e kau lea kovi, mo e kau fakamālohi, ʻe ʻikai te nau lavaʻi ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua.

11 Some of you were once like that, but you have been made clean and holy. You have been made right in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and in the Spirit of our God.

Pea naʻe pehē pe homou niʻihi; ka kuo fufulu ʻakimoutolu, ka kuo fakatapui ʻakimoutolu, ka kuo fakatonuhia ʻakimoutolu, ʻi he huafa ʻoe ʻEiki ko Sisu, pea ʻi he Laumālie ʻo hotau ʻOtua.

12 People say, “I'm free to do anything”—but not everything is appropriate! “I'm free to do anything”—but I will not let anything control me! People say,

“ʻOku ngofua ʻae meʻa kotoa pē kiate au, “ka ʻoku ʻikai ʻaonga ʻae meʻa kotoa pē: ʻoku ngofua ʻae meʻa kotoa pē kiate au, ka ʻe ʻikai faiekina au ʻe he meʻa ʻe taha.

13 “Food for the stomach, and the stomach for food”—but God will destroy both of them. Also, the body is not meant to be used for immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.

Ko e ngaahi meʻakai ki he fatu, mo e fatu ki he ngaahi meʻakai: ka ʻe fakaʻauha ia fakatouʻosi ʻe he ʻOtua. Ka ʻoku ʻikai ki he feʻauaki ʻae sino, ka ki he ʻEiki; pea mo e ʻEiki ki he sino.

14 By his power God raised the Lord from the dead, and he will raise us up the same way.

Pea kuo fokotuʻu hake ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae ʻEiki, pea te ne fokotuʻu hake ʻakimoutolu foki ʻi hono mālohi ʻoʻona.

15 Don't you know your bodies are parts of Christ's body? Should I take the parts of Christ's body and join them to a prostitute? Absolutely not!

‌ʻIkai ʻoku mou ʻilo, ko homou sino ko e ngaahi kupu ia ʻo Kalaisi? Pea te u ʻave eni ʻae ngaahi kupu ʻo Kalaisi, ʻo ngaohi ia ko e ngaahi kupu ʻoe faʻa feʻauaki? ʻIkai ʻaupito.

16 Don't you realize that anyone who has sex with a prostitute becomes “one body” with her? Remember that Scripture says, “The two will become one body.”

Ko e hā? ʻikai ʻoku mou ʻilo, ko ia kuo hoko ki he faʻa feʻauaki, ʻoku sino taha? He ʻoku pehē ʻe ia, “ʻE hoko ʻae toko ua ko e kakano pe taha.”

17 But whoever is joined to the Lord is one with him in spirit!

Ka ko ia kuo hoko ki he ʻEiki, ko e laumālie pe taha.

18 Stay away from sexual immorality! All other sins that people commit are outside of the body, but sexual immorality is a sin against your own body.

Puna mei he feʻauaki. Ko e angahala fulipē ʻoku fai ʻe he tangata, ʻoku ʻituʻa ʻi he sino, ka ko ia ʻoku fai feʻauaki, ʻoku fai angahala ia ki hono sino ʻoʻona.

19 Don't you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit that is within you, that you received from God?

Ko e hā? ʻIkai ʻoku mou ʻilo, ko homou sino ko e fale tapu ʻoe Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni, ʻoku ʻiate kimoutolu, ʻaia ʻoku mou maʻu mei he ʻOtua, pea ʻoku ʻikai ʻamoutolu ʻakimoutolu?

20 You don't belong to yourself—a price was paid for you! So glorify God in your body!

He kuo fakatauʻakimoutolu ʻaki ʻae totongi: ko ia ke fakaongolelei ʻae ʻOtua ʻi homou sino, pea ʻi homou laumālie, ʻaia ʻoku ʻoe ʻOtua.
