1 Corinthians 6
WEB·1 Corinthians 6
1Dare any of you, having a matter against his neighbor, go to law before the unrighteous, and not before the saints?
KJVDareG5111(G5719) anyG5100 of youG5216, havingG2192(G5723) a matterG4229 againstG4314 anotherG2087, go to lawG2919(G5745) beforeG1909 the unjustG94, andG2532 notG3780 beforeG1909 the saintsG40?
2 Don’t you know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world is judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters?
KJVDo yeG1492 notG3756 knowG1492(G5758) thatG3754 the saintsG40 shall judgeG2919(G5692) the worldG2889? andG2532 ifG1487 the worldG2889 shall be judgedG2919(G5743) byG1722 youG5213, are yeG2075(G5748) unworthyG370 to judgeG2922 the smallest mattersG1646?
3 Don’t you know that we will judge angels? How much more, things that pertain to this life?
KJVKnow yeG1492(G5758) notG3756 thatG3754 we shall judgeG2919(G5692) angelsG32? how much moreG3386G1065 things that pertain to this lifeG982?
4 If then you have to judge things pertaining to this life, do you set them to judge who are of no account in the assembly?
KJVIfG1437 thenG3303G3767 ye haveG2192(G5725) judgmentsG2922 of things pertaining to this lifeG982, setG2523(G5719) themG5128 to judge who are least esteemedG1848(G5772) inG1722 the churchG1577.
5 I say this to move you to shame. Isn’t there even one wise man among you who would be able to decide between his brothers?
KJVI speakG3004(G5719) toG4314 yourG5213 shameG1791. Is it soG3779, that thereG2076(G5748) is notG3756 a wise manG4680 amongG1722 youG5213? no, notG3761 oneG1520 thatG3739 shall be ableG1410(G5695) to judgeG1252(G5658) betweenG303G3319 hisG846 brethrenG80?
6 But brother goes to law with brother, and that before unbelievers!
KJVButG235 brotherG80 goeth to lawG2919(G5743) withG3326 brotherG80, andG2532 thatG5124 beforeG1909 the unbelieversG571.
7 Therefore it is already altogether a defect in you that you have lawsuits one with another. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be defrauded?
KJVNowG2235 thereforeG3303G3767 there isG2076(G5748) utterlyG3654 a faultG2275 amongG1722 youG5213, becauseG3754 ye goG2192(G5719) to lawG2917 one withG3326 anotherG1438. WhyG1302 do yeG91 notG3780 ratherG3123 take wrongG91(G5743)? whyG1302 do yeG650 notG3780 ratherG3123 suffer yourselves to be defraudedG650(G5743)?
8 No, but you yourselves do wrong and defraud, and that against your brothers.
KJVNayG235, yeG5210 do wrongG91(G5719), andG2532 defraudG650(G5719), andG2532 thatG5023 your brethrenG80.
9 Or don’t you know that the unrighteous will not inherit God’s Kingdom? Don’t be deceived. Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor male prostitutes, nor homosexuals,
KJVG2228 Know yeG1492(G5758) notG3756 thatG3754 the unrighteousG94 shallG2816 notG3756 inheritG2816(G5692) the kingdomG932 of GodG2316? BeG4105 notG3361 deceivedG4105(G5744): neitherG3777 fornicatorsG4205, norG3777 idolatersG1496, norG3777 adulterersG3432, norG3777 effeminateG3120, norG3777 abusers of themselves with mankindG733,
10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor slanderers, nor extortionists, will inherit God’s Kingdom.
KJVNorG3777 thievesG2812, norG3777 covetousG4123, norG3777 drunkardsG3183, norG3756 revilersG3060, norG3756 extortionersG727, shall inheritG3756G2816(G5692) the kingdomG932 of GodG2316.
11 Some of you were such, but you were washed. You were sanctified. You were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and in the Spirit of our God.
KJVAndG2532 suchG5023 wereG2258(G5713) some of youG5100: butG235 ye are washedG628(G5668), butG235 ye are sanctifiedG37(G5681), butG235 ye are justifiedG1344(G5681) inG1722 the nameG3686 of the LordG2962 JesusG2424, andG2532 byG1722 the SpiritG4151 of ourG2257 GodG2316.
12 “All things are lawful for me,” but not all things are expedient. “All things are lawful for me,” but I will not be brought under the power of anything.
KJVAll thingsG3956 are lawfulG1832(G5748) unto meG3427, butG235 all thingsG3956 areG4851 notG3756 expedientG4851(G5719): all thingsG3956 are lawfulG1832(G5748) for meG3427, butG235 IG1473 willG1850 notG3756 be brought under the powerG1850(G5701) ofG5259 anyG5100.
13 “Foods for the belly, and the belly for foods,” but God will bring to nothing both it and them. But the body is not for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.
KJVMeatsG1033 for the bellyG2836, andG2532 the bellyG2836 for meatsG1033: butG1161 GodG2316 shall destroyG2673(G5692) bothG2532 itG5026 andG2532 themG5023. NowG1161 the bodyG4983 is notG3756 for fornicationG4202, butG235 for the LordG2962; andG2532 the LordG2962 for the bodyG4983.
14 Now God raised up the Lord, and will also raise us up by his power.
KJVAndG1161 GodG2316 hathG1453 bothG2532 raised upG1453(G5656) the LordG2962, andG2532 willG1825 alsoG2532 raise upG1825(G5692) usG2248 byG1223 his ownG846 powerG1411.
15 Don’t you know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? May it never be!
KJVKnow yeG1492(G5758) notG3756 thatG3754 yourG5216 bodiesG4983 areG2076(G5748) the membersG3196 of ChristG5547? shall IG142 thenG3767 takeG142(G5660) the membersG3196 of ChristG5547, and makeG4160(G5661) them the membersG3196 of an harlotG4204? God forbidG3361G1096(G5636).
16 Or don’t you know that he who is joined to a prostitute is one body? For, “The two”, he says, “will become one flesh.”
KJVWhatG2228? know yeG1492(G5758) notG3756 thatG3754 he which is joinedG2853(G5746) to an harlotG4204 isG2076(G5748) oneG1520 bodyG4983? forG1063 twoG1417, saith heG5346(G5748), shall beG2071(G5704) oneG1519G3391 fleshG4561.
17 But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit.
KJVButG1161 he that is joinedG2853(G5746) unto the LordG2962 isG2076(G5748) oneG1520 spiritG4151.
18 Flee sexual immorality! “Every sin that a man does is outside the body,” but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body.
KJVFleeG5343(G5720) fornicationG4202. EveryG3956 sinG265 thatG3739G1437 a manG444 doethG4160(G5661) isG2076(G5748) withoutG1622 the bodyG4983; butG1161 he that committeth fornicationG4203(G5723) sinnethG264(G5719) againstG1519 his ownG2398 bodyG4983.
19 Or don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own,
KJVWhatG2228? know yeG1492(G5758) notG3756 thatG3754 yourG5216 bodyG4983 isG2076(G5748) the templeG3485 of the HolyG40 GhostG4151 which is inG1722 youG5213, whichG3739 ye haveG2192(G5719) ofG575 GodG2316, andG2532 ye areG2075(G5748) notG3756 your ownG1438?
20 for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.
KJVForG1063 ye are boughtG59(G5681) with a priceG5092: thereforeG1211 glorifyG1392(G5657) GodG2316 inG1722 yourG5216 bodyG4983, andG2532 inG1722 yourG5216 spiritG4151, whichG3748 areG2076(G5748) God'sG2316.
