1 Corinthians, 6

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

1. When you have a complaint against a brother, how dare you bring it before pagan judges instead of bringing it before God's people?

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

2. Do you not know that you shall one day judge the world? And if you are to judge the world, are you incapable of judging such simple problems?

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

3. Do you not know that we will even judge the angels? And could you not decide every day affairs?

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

4. You should ask those who are the last in the Church to decide such matters.

5. 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?

5. Shame on you! Is there not even one among you wise enough to be the arbiter among believers?

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

6. But no. One of you brings a suit against another one, and files that suit before unbelievers.

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

7. It is already a failure that you have suits against each other. Why do you not rather suffer wrong and receive some damage?

8. Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, and that [your] brethren.

8. But no. You wrong and injure others, and those are your brothers and sisters.

9. Know ye 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,

9. Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the Kingdom of God? Make no mistake about it: those who lead immoral lives, or worship idols, or who are adulterers, homosexuals of any kind,

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

10. or thieves, exploiters, drunkards, gossips or embezzlers will not inherit the kingdom of heaven.

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

11. Some of you were like that, but you have been cleansed and consecrated to God and have been set right with God by the Name of the Lord Jesus and the Spirit of our God.

12. 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.

12. Everything is lawful for me, but not everything is to my profit. Everything is lawful for me, but I will not become a slave of anything.

13. 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.

13. Food is for the stomach, as the stomach is for food, and God will destroy them both. Yet the body is not for sex, but for the Lord; and the Lord is for the body.

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

14. And God who raised the Lord, will also raise us with his power.

15. Know ye 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.

15. Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? And you would make that part of his body become a part of a prostitute? Never!

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

16. But you well know that when you join yourselves to a prostitute, you become one with her. For Scripture says: The two will become one flesh.

17. But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.

17. On the contrary, anyone united to the Lord becomes one spirit with him.

18. Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.

18. Avoid unlawful sex entirely. Any other sin a person commits is outside the body but those who commit sexual immorality sin against their own body.

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

19. Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, given by God? You belong no longer to yourselves.

20. For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.

20. Remember at what price you have been bought and make your body serve the glory of God.
