Weymouth New Testament WNT
New International Version NIV
12 Everything is allowable to me, but not everything is profitable. Everything is allowable to me, but to nothing will I become a slave.
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 Food of all kinds is meant for the stomach, and the stomach is meant for food, and God will cause both of them to perish. Yet the body does not exist for the purpose of fornication, but for the Master's service, and the Master exists 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 and as God by His power raised the Master to life, so He will also raise us up.
14
By his power God raised the Lord from the dead, and he will raise us also.
15 Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take away the members of Christ and make them the members of a prostitute? No, indeed.
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 do you not know that a man who has to do with a prostitute is one with her in body? For God says, "The two shall become one."
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 in union with the Master is one with Him in spirit.
17
But whoever is united with the Lord is one with him in spirit.
18 Flee from fornication. Any other sin that a human being commits lies outside the body; but he who commits fornication sins 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 do you not know that your bodies are a sanctuary of the Holy Spirit who is within you--the Spirit whom you have from God?
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 And you are not your own, for you have been redeemed at infinite cost. Therefore glorify God in your bodies.
20
you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.
