1 הֲיֵשׁ בָּכֶם אִישׁ אֲשֶׁר בְּרִיבוֹ עִם־רֵעֵהוּ יָזִיד לְהָבִיא דְבַר־דִּינוֹ לִפְנֵי הָרְשָׁעִים וְלֹא לִפְנֵי הַקְּדשִׁים | 1 Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints? |
2 הֲלֹא יְדַעְתֶּם כִּי הַקְּדשִׁים יָדִינוּ אֶת־הָעוֹלָם וְאִם־הָעוֹלָם יִדּוֹן עַל־יֶדְכֶם הַאֵינְכֶם רְאוּיִם לָדִין דִּינִים קְטַנִּים | 2 Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters? |
3 הֲלֹא יְדַעְתֶּם כִּי נָדִין אֶת־הַמַּלְאָכִים אַף כִּי־דִבְרֵי מָמוֹנוֹת | 3 Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life? |
4 וְאַתֶּם כַּאֲשֶׁר יֵשׁ־לָכֶם דִּינֵי מָמוֹנוֹת מוֹשִׁיבִים אַתֶּם אֶת־הַנֶּחֱשָׁבִים לְאַיִן בַּקָּהָל לְשֹׁפְטֵיכֶם | 4 If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church. |
5 לְבָשְׁתְּכֶם אֹמֵר אֲנִי אֶת־זֹאת הֲכִי אֵין בָּכֶם חָכָם אֶחָד שֶׁיּוּכַל לְהוֹכִיחַ בֵּין אִישׁ לְאָחִיו | 5 I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you? no, not one that shall be able to judge between his brethren? |
6 כִּי אָח רָב עִם־אָחִיו וְזֹאת לִפְנֵי לֹא־מַאֲמִינִים | 6 But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before the unbelievers. |
7 הֵן בַּכֹּל יְרִידָה הִיא לָכֶם שֶׁתָּרִיבוּ זֶה עִם־זֶה לָמָּה לֹא תִבְחֲרוּ לִסְבֹּל הוֹנָאָה וְלָמָּה לֹא תִבְחֲרוּ לִהְיוֹת עֲשׁוּקִים | 7 Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law one with another. Why do ye not rather take wrong? why do ye not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded? |
8 אֲבָל תּוֹנוּ וְתַעַשְׁקוּ אַף אֶת־אֲחֵיכֶם | 8 Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, and that your brethren. |
9 הֲלֹא יְדַעְתֶּם כִּי הָרְשָׁעִים לֹא יִירְשׁוּ אֶת־מַלְכוּת הָאֱלֹהִים אַל־תַּתְעוּ אֶת־נַפְשׁוֹתֵיכֶם לֹא הַזֹּנִים לֹא עֹבְדֵי אֱלִילִים לֹא הַמְנָאֲפִים וְלֹא הַקְּדֵשִׁים וְלֹא הַשֹּׁכְבִים אֶת־זָכָר | 9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, |
10 לֹא הַגַּנָּבִים וְלֹא־בֹצְעֵי בֶצַע לֹא הַסֹּבְאִים וְלֹא הַמְגַדְּפִים וְלֹא הַגַּזְלָנִים כָּל־אֵלֶּה לֹא יִירְשׁוּ אֶת־מַלְכוּת הָאֱלֹהִים | 10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. |
11 וְכָאֵלֶּה לְפָנִים הָיוּ מִקְצַתְכֶם אֲבָל רֻחַצְתֶּם אֲבָל קֻדַּשְׁתֶּם אֲבָל הָצְדַקְתֶּם בְּשֵׁם הָאָדוֹן יֵשׁוּעַ וּבְרוּחַ אֱלֹהֵינוּ | 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 הַכֹּל הוּא בִרְשׁוּתִי אַךְ לֹא כָל־דָּבָר יוֹעִיל הַכֹּל הוּא בִרְשׁוּתִי אַךְ לֹא יְשַׁעְבְּדֵנִי דָּבָר | 12 All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any. |
13 הַמַּאֲכָל לַבֶּטֶן וְהַבֶּטֶן לַמַּאֲכָל וְהָאֱלֹהִים אֶת־זֶה וְאֶת־זֶה יְכַלֶּה וְהַגּוּף אַל־יְהִי לַזְּנוּת כִּי אִם־לָאָדוֹן וְהָאָדוֹן לַגּוּף | 13 Meats for the belly, and the belly for 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 וְהָאֱלֹהִים הֵעִיר גַּם אֶת־אֲדֹנֵינוּ וְיָעִיר גַּם־אֶתְכֶם בִּגְבוּרָתוֹ | 14 And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power. |
15 הֲלֹא יְדַעְתֶּם כִּי גּוּפֹתֵיכֶם אֵבָרֵי הַמָּשִׁיחַ הֵנָּה הֲכִי אֶקַּח אֶת־אֵבָרֵי הַמָּשִׁיחַ וְאֶעֱשֶׂה אֹתָם לְאֵבָרֵי זוֹנָה חָלִילָה | 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 אוֹ הֲלֹא יְדַעְתֶּם כִּי הַדָּבֵק בַּזּוֹנָה גּוּף אֶחָד הוּא עִמָּהּ כִּי הַכָּתוּב אֹמֵר וְהָיוּ שְׁנֵיהֶם לְבָשָׂר אֶחָד | 16 What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh. |
17 אֲבָל הַדָּבֵק בָּאָדוֹן רוּחַ אֶחָד הוּא עִמּוֹ | 17 But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit. |
18 נוּסוּ מִן־הַזְּנוּת כָּל־חֵטְא אֲשֶׁר־יַעֲשֶׂה אוֹתוֹ הָאָדָם מִחוּץ לְגוּפוֹ הוּא וְהַזּוֹנֶה חֹטֵא בְּעֶצֶם גּוּפוֹ | 18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that commiteth fornication sinneth against his own body. |
19 אוֹ הֲלֹא־יְדַעְתֶּם כִּי גוּפְכֶם הוּא הֵיכַל רוּחַ הַקֹּדֶשׁ הַשֹּׁכֵן בְּקִרְבְּכֶם אֲשֶׁר קִבַּלְתֶּם מֵאֵת הָאֱלֹהִים וְכִי לֹא־לְעַצְמְכֶם אַתֶּם | 19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? |
20 כִּי בִּמְחִיר נִקְנֵיתֶם עַל־כֵּן כַּבְּדוּ אֶת־הָאֱלֹהִים בְּגוּפְכֶם וּבְרוּחֲכֶם אֲשֶׁר לֵאלֹהִים הֵמָּה | 20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's. |
