1 Corinthians 6

1 Dare any of you, having, a matter against his brother, sue for judgment before the unrighteous, and not before the saints?

Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints?

2 Or know ye not that, the saints, shall judge the world? And, if, by you, the world, is to be judged, unworthy are ye of the smallest judgment-seats?

Do all of you not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are all of you unworthy to judge the smallest matters?

3 Know ye not that we shall judge, messengers? and not, then, matters of this life?

Know all of you not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?

4 If, then, for matters of this, life ye have judgment-seats, them who are of no account in the assembly, these, are ye seating thereupon?

If then all of you have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church.

5 With a view to shame you, am I speaking. So, is it possible that there is among you—not so much as one wise man, who shall be able to judge between his brethren, —

I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you? no, not one that shall be able to judge between his brethren?

6 But, brother with brother, sueth for judgment, and that before unbelievers?

But brother goes to law with brother, and that before the unbelievers.

7 Already, indeed, it is an utter defeat for you, that ye are having, law-suits, one with another. Wherefore are ye not rather taking wrong? Wherefore are ye not rather suffering yourselves to be defrauded?

Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because all of you go to law one with another. Why do all of you not rather endure wrong? why do all of you not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded?

8 Nay! but, ye, are doing wrong, and defrauding, —and that [your] brethren.

Nay, all of you do wrong, and defraud, and that your brethren.

9 Or know ye not that, wrong-doers, shall not inherit, God’s kingdom? Be not deceiving yourselves: —neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor sodomites,

Know all of you 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 mankind,

10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners—shall inherit, God’s kingdom.

Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortionists, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

11 And, these things, were some of you; but ye bathed them away, —but ye were sanctified, but ye were justified, in the name of [our] Lord Jesus Christ, and in the Spirit of our God.

And such were some of you: but all of you are washed, but all of you are sanctified, but all of you are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit (pneuma) of our God.

12 All things, unto me, are allowable, but, not all things, are profitable: all things, unto me, are allowable, but, I, will not be brought under authority by any.

All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.

13 Foods for the belly, and the belly for foods; but, God, will set aside, both it and them. The body, however, is not for fornication, but, for the Lord, —and, the Lord, for the body.

Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body.

14 God, moreover, hath both raised up, the Lord, and will raise, us, up from among [the dead] through his power.

And God has both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power.

15 Know ye not that, your bodies, are, members of Christ? Shall I, then, take away the members of the Christ and make them members of a harlot? Far be it!

Know all of you not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid.

16 Or know ye not that, he that joineth himself unto the harlot, is, one body? For, saith he, the two, shall become, one flesh;

What? know all of you not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, says he, shall be one flesh.

17 But, he that joineth himself unto the Lord, is, one Spirit.

But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit. (pneuma)

18 Flee fornication! Every sin, whatsoever a man shall commit, is, outside his body, but, he that committeth fornication, bringeth sin into his own body.

Flee fornication. Every sin that a man does is without the body; but he that commits fornication sins against his own body.

19 Or know ye not that, your body, is, a shrine of the Holy Spirit that is within you, which ye have from God? And ye are not your own; —

What? know all of you not that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit (pneuma) which is in you, which all of you have of God, and all of you are not your own?

20 For ye have been bought with a price! Therefore glorify God in your body.

For all of you are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, (pneuma) which are God's.
