Corinthios I 6

1 Audet aliquis vestrum habens negotium adversus alterum, judicari apud iniquos, et non apud sanctos?

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

2 an nescitis quoniam sancti de hoc mundo judicabunt? et si in vobis judicabitur mundus, indigni estis qui de minimis judicetis?

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

3 Nescitis quoniam angelos judicabimus? quanto magis sæcularia?

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

4 Sæcularia igitur judicia si habueritis: contemptibiles, qui sunt in ecclesia, illos constituite ad judicandum.

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

5 Ad verecundiam vestram dico. Sic non est inter vos sapiens quisquam, qui possit judicare inter fratrem suum?

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 brothers?

6 Sed frater cum fratre judicio contendit: et hoc apud infideles?

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

7 Jam quidem omnino delictum est in vobis, quod judicia habetis inter vos. Quare non magis injuriam accipitis? quare non magis fraudem patimini?

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

8 Sed vos injuriam facitis, et fraudatis: et hoc fratribus.

No, you do wrong, and defraud, and that your brothers.

9 An nescitis quia iniqui regnum Dei non possidebunt? Nolite errare: neque fornicarii, neque idolis servientes, neque adulteri,

Know 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 neque molles, neque masculorum concubitores, neque fures, neque avari, neque ebriosi, neque maledici, neque rapaces regnum Dei possidebunt.

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

11 Et hæc quidam fuistis: sed abluti estis, sed sanctificati estis, sed justificati estis in nomine Domini nostri Jesu Christi, et in Spiritu Dei nostri.

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

12 Omnia mihi licent, sed non omnia expediunt: omnia mihi licent, sed ego sub nullis redigar potestate.

All things are lawful to 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 Esca ventri, et venter escis: Deus autem et hunc et has destruet: corpus autem non fornicationi, sed Domino: et Dominus corpori.

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 Deus vero et Dominum suscitavit: et nos suscitabit per virtutem suam.

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

15 Nescitis quoniam corpora vestra membra sunt Christi? Tollens ergo membra Christi, faciam membra meretricis? Absit.

Know 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 An nescitis quoniam qui adhæret meretrici, unum corpus efficitur? Erunt enim (inquit) duo in carne una.

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

17 Qui autem adhæret Domino, unus spiritus est.

But he that is joined to the Lord is one spirit.

18 Fugite fornicationem. Omne peccatum, quodcumque fecerit homo, extra corpus est: qui autem fornicatur, in corpus suum peccat.

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

19 An nescitis quoniam membra vestra, templum sunt Spiritus Sancti, qui in vobis est, quem habetis a Deo, et non estis vestri?

What? know you not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which you have of God, and you are not your own?

20 Empti enim estis pretio magno. Glorificate, et portate Deum in corpore vestro.

For you are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.
