1 Corinthians 6 — DBY

See Hebrew/Greek in BSB →

6Verse 1Dare any one of you, having a matter against another, prosecute his suit before the unjust, and not before the saints?Verse 2Do ye not then know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world is judged by you, are ye unworthy of [the] smallest judgments?Verse 3Do ye not know that we shall judge angels? and not then matters of this life?Verse 4If then ye have judgments as to things of this life, set those [to judge] who are little esteemed in the assembly.Verse 5I speak to you [to put you] to shame. Thus there is not a wise person among you, not even one, who shall be able to decide between his brethren!Verse 6But brother prosecutes his suit with brother, and that before unbelievers.Verse 7Already indeed then it is altogether a fault in you that ye have suits between yourselves. Why do ye not rather suffer wrong? why are ye not rather defrauded?Verse 8But ye do wrong, and defraud, and this [your] brethren.Verse 9Do ye not know that unrighteous [persons] shall not inherit [the] kingdom of°God? Do not err: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor those who make women of themselves, nor who abuse themselves with men,Verse 10nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor abusive persons, nor [the] rapacious, shall inherit [the] kingdom of°God.Verse 11And these things were some of you; but ye have been washed, but ye have been sanctified, but ye have been justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our°God.Verse 12All things are lawful to me, but all things do not profit; all things are lawful to me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.Verse 13Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats; but°God will bring to nothing both it and them: but the body [is] not for fornication, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.Verse 14And°God has both raised up the Lord, and will raise us up from among [the dead] by his power.Verse 15Do ye not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then, taking the members of the Christ, make [them] members of a harlot? Far be the thought.Verse 16Do ye not know that he [that is] joined to the harlot is one body? for the two, he says, shall be one flesh.Verse 17But he that [is] joined to the Lord is one Spirit.Verse 18Flee fornication. Every sin which a man may practise is without the body, but he that commits fornication sins against his own body.Verse 19Do ye not know that your body is [the] temple of the Holy Spirit which [is] in you, which ye have of°God; and ye are not your own?Verse 20for ye have been bought with a price: glorify now then°God in your body.
