コリント人への手紙第一 6
1 汝 等のうち互に事あるとき、之を聖徒の前に訴へずして、正しからぬ者の前に訴ふることを敢へてする者あらんや。
If one of you has a grievance against an opponent, does he dare to go to law before irreligious men and not before God's people?
2 汝ら知らぬか、聖徒は世を審くべき者なるを。世もし汝らに審かれんには、汝ら最 小き事を審くに足らぬ者ならんや。
Do you not know that God's people will sit in judgement upon the world? And if you are the court before which the world is to be judged, are you unfit to deal with these petty matters?
3 なんぢら知らぬか、我らは御使を審くべき者なるを、ましてこの世の事をや。
Do you not know that we are to sit in judgement upon angels--to say nothing of things belonging to this life?
4 然るに汝ら審くべき此の世の事のあるとき、教會にて輕しむる所の者を審判の座に坐らしむるか。
If therefore you have things belonging to this life which need to be decided, is it men who are absolutely nothing in the Church--is it they whom you make your judges?
5 わが斯く言ふは汝らを辱しめんとてなり。汝 等のうちに兄弟の間のことを審き得る智きもの一人だになく、
I say this to put you to shame. Has it come to this, that there does not exist among you a single wise man competent to decide between a man and his brother,
6 兄弟は兄弟を、而も不 信者の前に訴ふるか。
but brother goes to law with brother, and that before unbelievers?
7 互に相 訴ふるは既に當しく汝らの失態なり。何 故むしろ不義を受けぬか、何 故むしろ欺かれぬか。
To say no more, then, it is altogether a defect in you that you have law-suits with one another. Why not rather endure injustice? Why not rather submit to being defrauded?
8 然るに汝ら不義をなし、詐欺をなし、兄弟にも之を爲す。
On the contrary you yourselves inflict injustice and fraud, and upon brethren too.
9 汝ら知らぬか、正しからぬ者の神の國を嗣ぐことなきを。自ら欺くな、淫行のもの、偶像を拜むもの、姦淫をなすもの、男娼となるもの、男色を行ふ者、
Do you not know that unrighteous men will not inherit God's Kingdom? Cherish no delusion here. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor any who are guilty of unnatural crime,
10 盜するもの、貪欲のもの、酒に醉ふもの、罵るもの、奪ふ者などは、みな神の國を嗣ぐことなきなり。
nor theives, nor avaricious people, nor any who are addicted to hard drinking, to abusive language or to greed of gain, will inherit God's Kingdom.
11 汝 等のうち曩には斯くのごとき者ありしかど、主イエス・キリストの名により、我らの神の御靈によりて、己を洗ひかつ潔められ、かつ義とせらるることを得たり。
And all this describes what some of you were. But now you have had every stain washed off: now you have been set apart as holy: now you have been pronounced free from guilt; in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ and through the Spirit of our God.
12 一切のもの我に可からざるなし、然れど一切のもの益あるにあらず。一切のもの我に可からざるなし、されど我は何 物にも支配せられず、
Everything is allowable to me, but not everything is profitable. Everything is allowable to me, but to nothing will I become a slave.
13 食物は腹のため、腹は食物のためなり。されど神は之をも彼をも亡し給はん。身は淫行をなさん爲にあらず、主の爲なり、主はまた身の爲なり。
Food of all kinds is meant for the stomach, and the stomach is meant for food, and God will cause both of them to perish. Yet the body does not exist for the purpose of fornication, but for the Master's service, and the Master exists for the body;
14 神は既に主を甦へらせ給へり、又その能力をもて我等をも甦へらせ給はん。
and as God by His power raised the Master to life, so He will also raise us up.
15 汝らの身はキリストの肢體なるを知らぬか、然らばキリストの肢體をとりて遊女の肢體となすべきか、決して然すべからず。
Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take away the members of Christ and make them the members of a prostitute? No, indeed.
16 遊女につく者は彼と一つ體となることを知らぬか『二人のもの一體となるべし』と言ひ給へり。
Or do you not know that a man who has to do with a prostitute is one with her in body? For God says, "The two shall become one."
17 主につく者は之と一つ靈となるなり。
But he who is in union with the Master is one with Him in spirit.
18 淫行を避けよ。人のをかす罪はみな身の外にあり、されど淫行をなす者は己が身を犯すなり。
Flee from fornication. Any other sin that a human being commits lies outside the body; but he who commits fornication sins against his own body.
19 汝らの身は、その内にある神より受けたる聖 靈の宮にして、汝らは己の者にあらざるを知らぬか。
Or do you not know that your bodies are a sanctuary of the Holy Spirit who is within you--the Spirit whom you have from God?
20 汝らは價をもて買はれたる者なり、然らばその身をもて神の榮光を顯せ。
And you are not your own, for you have been redeemed at infinite cost. Therefore glorify God in your bodies.
