1 Corinthians 6

NEW JERUSALEM	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 Is one of you with a complaint against another so brazen as to seek judgement from sinners and notfrom God's holy people?	1 Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints?
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?	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 Do you not realise that we shal be the judges of angels? - then quite certainly over matters of this life.	3 Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?
4 But when you have matters of this life to be judged, you bring them before those who are of no accountin the Church!	4 If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church.
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,	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 and that this is why brother goes to law against brother, and that before unbelievers?	6 But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before the unbelievers.
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?	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 And here you are, doing the injustice and the defrauding, and to your own brothers.	8 Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, and that your brethren.
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,	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 thieves, misers, drunkards, slanderers and swindlers, none of these wil inherit the kingdom of God.	10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of 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.	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 '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.	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 Foods are for the stomach, and the stomach is for foods; and God wil destroy them both. But thebody is not for sexual immorality;	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 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.	14 And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power.
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!	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 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.	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 But anyone who attaches himself to the Lord is one spirit with him.	17 But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.
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.	18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that commiteth fornication sinneth against his own body.
19 Do you not realise that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you and whom youreceived from God?	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 You are not your own property, then; you have been bought at a price. So use your body for the gloryof God.	20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.
