1. Is one of you with a complaint against another so brazen as to seek judgement from sinners and not from God's holy people?

1. When one of you has a grievance against a brother, does he dare go to law before the unrighteous instead of the saints?

2. Do you not realise that the holy people of God are to be the judges of the world? And if the world is to be judged by you, are you not competent for petty cases?

2. Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world is to be judged by you, are you incompetent to try trivial cases?

3. Do you not realise that we shall be the judges of angels? - then quite certainly over matters of this life.

3. Do you not know that we are to judge angels? How much more, matters pertaining to this life!

4. But when you have matters of this life to be judged, you bring them before those who are of no account in the Church!

4. If then you have such cases, why do you lay them before those who are least esteemed by the church?

5. I say this to make you ashamed of yourselves. Can it really be that it is impossible to find in the community one sensible person capable of deciding questions between brothers,

5. I say this to your shame. Can it be that there is no man among you wise enough to decide between members of the brotherhood,

6. and that this is why brother goes to law against brother, and that before unbelievers?

6. but brother goes to law against brother, and that before unbelievers?

7. No; it is a fault in you, by itself, that one of you should go to law against another at all: why do you not prefer to suffer injustice, why not prefer to be defrauded?

7. To have lawsuits at all with one another is defeat for you. Why not rather suffer wrong? Why not rather be defrauded?

8. And here you are, doing the injustice and the defrauding, and to your own brothers.

8. But you yourselves wrong and defraud, and that even your own brethren.

9. Do you not realise that people who do evil will never inherit the kingdom of God? Make no mistake -- the sexually immoral, idolaters, adulterers, the self-indulgent, sodomites,

9. Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither the immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor sexual perverts,

10. thieves, misers, drunkards, slanderers and swindlers, none of these will inherit the kingdom of God.

10. nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor robbers will inherit the kingdom of God.

11. Some of you used to be of that kind: but you have been washed clean, you have been sanctified, and you have been justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and through the Spirit of our God.

11. And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.

12. 'For me everything is permissible'; maybe, but not everything does good. True, for me everything is permissible, but I am determined not to be dominated by anything.

12. "All things are lawful for me," but not all things are helpful. "All things are lawful for me," but I will not be enslaved by anything.

13. Foods are for the stomach, and the stomach is for foods; and God will destroy them both. But the body is not for sexual immorality;

13. "Food is meant for the stomach and the stomach for food" -- and God will destroy both one and the other. The body is not meant for immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.

14. it is for the Lord, and the Lord is for the body. God raised up the Lord and he will raise us up too by his power.

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

15. Do you not realise that your bodies are members of Christ's body; do you think one can take parts of Christ's body and join them to the body of a prostitute? Out of the question!

15. Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I therefore take the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? Never!

16. Or do you not realise that anyone who attaches himself to a prostitute is one body with her, since the two, as it is said, become one flesh.

16. Do you not know that he who joins himself to a prostitute becomes one body with her? For, as it is written, "The two shall become one flesh."

17. But anyone who attaches himself to the Lord is one spirit with him.

17. But he who is united to the Lord becomes one spirit with him.

18. Keep away from sexual immorality. All other sins that people may commit are done outside the body; but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body.

18. Shun immorality. Every other sin which a man commits is outside the body; but the immoral man sins against his own body.

19. Do you not realise that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you and whom you received from God?

19. Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, which you have from God? You are not your own;

20. You are not your own property, then; you have been bought at a price. So use your body for the glory of God.

20. you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.
