[1]DARE any of you, having a suit with his brother, to litigate before the evil, and not before the saints?
[2]Or know you not that the saints shall judge the world? And if the world by you is judged, are you not worthy to judge small matters?ⓘ
[3]Know you not that you are to judge angels? How much more those [matters] which are of this world?
[4]But if you have matters to be judged regarding the world, those who are little-esteemedⓘ in the church make you to sit in judgment.
[5]But to your reproach am I to say to you, So there is not among you even one wise man, who is able to adjust between a brother and his brother?
[6]But a brother with his brother litigates, and, moreover, before those who are unbelievers!
[7]Now, therefore, you make yourselves guilty while you have litigation one with another. For why do you not bear injury? and why do you not suffer fraud?
[8]But you injure, and you defraud, [and that] also your brethren!
[9]Or, know you not that the unjust the kingdom of Aloha cannot inherit? Do not err; neither fornicators, nor the servers of idols, nor adulterers, nor corrupters, nor liers with men,
[10]Nor the oppressive, nor thieves, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor the rapacious, the kingdom of Aloha can inherit.
[11]And these were some of you but you are washed, and sanctified, and justified in the name of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, and by the Spirit of our God.
[12]ALL [food] is lawful to me, but all is not expedient for me. All is lawful to me, but over me no one shall have power.
[13]Food is for the belly, and the belly for food; but Aloha will abolish them both. But the body was not for fornication, but for our Lord, and our Lord for the body.
[14]And Aloha hath raised up our Lord, and us will raise by his power.
[15]Know you not that your bodies are members of the Meshiha? Shall one take a member of the Meshiha to make it a member of a harlot? Never!
[16]Know you not that whosoever attacheth to a harlot is one body? For it is said, The two shall be one body.
[17]But, he who attacheth to our Lord is with him one spirit.
[18]Flee from fornication: for every sin which a man committeth is without his body; but he who committeth fornication against his own body sinneth.
[19]Or, know you not that your body is the temple of the Spirit of Holiness, who dwelleth in you, [even] Him whom you have received from Aloha? And you are not your own,
[20]For you are bought with the price; therefore glorify Aloha in your body and in your spirit, which are of Aloha.
