| [1]Dare any one of you, having a matter with the other, go to be judged before the unrighteous, and not before the saints? |
[1]Dare any of you, having business against another, be judged under the unjust, and not under the Saints? |
| [2]have ye not known that the saints shall judge the world? and if by you the world is judged, are ye unworthy of the smaller judgments? |
[2]Do ye not know, that the Saints shall judge the world? If the world then shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters? |
| [3]have ye not known that we shall judge messengers? why not then the things of life? |
[3]Know ye not that we shall judge the Angels? how much more things that pertain to this life? |
| [4]of the things of life, indeed, then, if ye may have judgment, those despised in the assembly -- these cause ye to sit; |
[4]If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set up them which are least esteemed in the Church. |
| [5]unto your shame I speak: so there is not among you one wise man, not even one, who shall be able to discern in the midst of his brethren! |
[5]I speak it to your shame. Is it so that there is not a wise man among you? no not one, that can judge between his brethren? |
| [6]but brother with brother doth go to be judged, and this before unbelievers! |
[6]But a brother goeth to law with a brother, and that under the infidels. |
| [7]Already, indeed, then, there is altogether a fault among you, that ye have judgments with one another; wherefore do ye not rather suffer injustice? wherefore be ye not rather defrauded? |
[7]Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law one with another: why rather suffer ye not wrong? why rather sustain ye not harm? |
| [8]but ye -- ye do injustice, and ye defraud, and these -- brethren! |
[8]Nay, ye yourselves do wrong, and do harm, and that to your brethren. |
| [9]have ye not known that the unrighteous the reign of God shall not inherit? be not led astray; neither whoremongers, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor sodomites, |
[9]Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor wantons, nor buggerers, |
| [10]nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, the reign of God shall inherit. |
[10]Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor railers, nor extortioners shall inherit the kingdom of God. |
| [11]And certain of you were these! but ye were washed, but ye were sanctified, but ye were declared righteous, in the name of the Lord Jesus, and in the Spirit of our God. |
[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. |
| [12]All things are lawful to me, but all things are not profitable; all things are lawful to me, but I -- I will not be under authority by any; |
[12]Â All things are lawful unto me: but all things are not profitable. I may do all things, but I will not be brought under the power of any thing. |
| [13]the meats [are] for the belly, and the belly for the meats. And God both this and these shall make useless; and the body [is] not for whoredom, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body; |
[13]Meats are ordained for the belly, and the belly for the 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]and God both the Lord did raise, and us will raise up through His power. |
[14]And God hath also raised up the Lord, and shall raise us up by his power. |
| [15]Have ye not known that your bodies are members of Christ? having taken, then, the members of the Christ, shall I make [them] members of an harlot? let it be not! |
[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. |
| [16]have ye not known that he who is joined to the harlot is one body? `for they shall be -- saith He -- the two for one flesh.' |
[16]Do ye not know, that he which coupleth himself with an harlot, is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh. |
| [17]And he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit; |
[17]But he that is joined unto the Lord, is one spirit. |
| [18]flee the whoredom; every sin -- whatever a man may commit -- is without the body, and he who is committing whoredom, against his own body doth sin. |
[18]Flee fornication: every sin that a man doeth, is without the body: but he that committeth fornication, sinneth against his own body. |
| [19]Have ye not known that your body is a sanctuary of the Holy Spirit in you, which ye have from God? and ye are not your own, |
[19]Know ye not, that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost, which is in you, whom ye have of God? And ye are not your own. |
| [20]for ye were bought with a price; glorify, then, God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's. |
[20]For ye are bought for a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit: for they are God's. |
