1 Corinthians 6

DOUAI-RHEIMS	NEW JERUSALEM
1 Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to be judged before the unjust, and not before the saints ?	1 Is one of you with a complaint against another so brazen as to seek judgement from sinners and notfrom God's holy people?
2 Know you not that the saints shall judge this world ? And if the world shall be judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters ?	2 Do you not realise that the holy people of God are to be the judges of the world? And if the world is tobe judged by you, are you not competent for petty cases?
3 Know you not that we shall judge angels ? how much more things of this world ?	3 Do you not realise that we shal be the judges of angels? - then quite certainly over matters of this life.
4 If therefore you have judgments of things pertaining to this world, set them to judge, who are the most despised in the church.	4 But when you have matters of this life to be judged, you bring them before those who are of no accountin the Church!
5 I speak to your shame. Is it so that there is not among you any one wise man, that is able to judge between his brethren ?	5 I say this to make you ashamed of yourselves. Can it real y be that it is impossible to find in thecommunity one sensible person capable of deciding questions between brothers,
6 But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before unbelievers.	6 and that this is why brother goes to law against brother, and that before unbelievers?
7 Already indeed there is plainly a fault among you, that you have lawsuits one with another. Why do you not rather take wrong? Why do you not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded?	7 No; it is a fault in you, by itself, that one of you should go to law against another at al : why do you notprefer to suffer injustice, why not prefer to be defrauded?
8 But you do wrong and defraud, and that to your brethren.	8 And here you are, doing the injustice and the defrauding, and to your own brothers.
9 Know you not that the unjust shall not possess the kingdom of God? Do not err: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers,	9 Do you not realise that people who do evil wil never inherit the kingdom of God? Make no mistake --the sexual y immoral, idolaters, adulterers, the self-indulgent, sodomites,
10 Nor the effeminate, nor liers with mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor railers, nor extortioners, shall possess the kingdom of God.	10 thieves, misers, drunkards, slanderers and swindlers, none of these wil inherit the kingdom of God.
11 And such some of you were; but you are washed, but you are sanctified, but you are justified in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the Spirit of our God.	11 Some of you used to be of that kind: but you have been washed clean, you have been sanctified, andyou have been justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and through the Spirit of our God.
12 All things are lawful to me, but all things are not expedient. All things are lawful to me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.	12 'For me everything is permissible'; maybe, but not everything does good. True, for me everything ispermissible, but I am determined not to be dominated by anything.
13 Meat for the belly, and the belly for the meats; but God shall destroy both it and them: but the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.	13 Foods are for the stomach, and the stomach is for foods; and God wil destroy them both. But thebody is not for sexual immorality;
14 Now God hath both raised up the Lord, and will raise us up also by his power.	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 hispower.
15 Know you 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.	15 Do you not realise that your bodies are members of Christ's body; do you think one can take parts ofChrist's body and join them to the body of a prostitute? Out of the question!
16 Or know you not, that he who is joined to a harlot, is made one body ? For they shall be, saith he, two in one flesh.	16 Or do you not realise that anyone who attaches himself to a prostitute is one body with her, since thetwo, as it is said, become one flesh.
17 But he who is joined to the Lord, is one spirit.	17 But anyone who attaches himself to the Lord is one spirit with him.
18 Fly fornication. Every sin that a man doth, is without the body; but he that committeth fornication, sinneth against his own body.	18 Keep away from sexual immorality. Al other sins that people may commit are done outside the body;but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body.
19 Or know you not, that your members are the temple of the Holy Ghost, who is in you, whom you have from God; and you are not your own ?	19 Do you not realise that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you and whom youreceived from God?
20 For you are bought with a great price. Glorify and bear God in your body.	20 You are not your own property, then; you have been bought at a price. So use your body for the gloryof God.
