Douay-Rheims Catholic Bible RHE
New International Version NIV
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
“I have the right to do anything,” you say—but not everything is beneficial. “I have the right to do anything”—but I will not be mastered 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
You say, “Food for the stomach and the stomach for food, and God will destroy them both.” The body, however, is not meant for sexual immorality but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.
14 Now God hath raised up the Lord and will raise us up also by his power.
14
By his power God raised the Lord from the dead, and he will raise us also.
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 know that your bodies are members of Christ himself? Shall I then take the members of Christ and unite them with a prostitute? Never!
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
Do you not know that he who unites himself with a prostitute is one with her in body? For it is said, “The two will become one flesh.”
17 But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit.
17
But whoever is united with the Lord is one with him in spirit.
18 Fly fornication. Every sin that a man doth is without the body: but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.
18
Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a person commits are outside the body, but whoever sins sexually, sins against their 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 know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own;
20 For you are bought with a great price. Glorify and bear God in your body.
20
you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.
