King James Version KJV
Lexham English Bible LEB
1 Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints?
1
Does anyone among you, [if he] has a matter against someone else, dare to go to court before the unrighteous, and not before the saints?
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?
2
Or do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if by you the world is judged, are you unworthy of the most insignificant courts?
3 Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?
3
Do you not know that we will judge angels, not to mention ordinary matters?
4 If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church.
4
Therefore, if you have courts with regard to ordinary matters, do you seat these despised [people] in the church?
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?
5
I say [this] to your shame. So is there not anyone wise among you who will be able to render a decision between his brothers?
6 But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before the unbelievers.
6
But brother goes to court with brother, and this before unbelievers!
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?
7
Therefore it is already completely a loss for you that you have lawsuits with one another. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be defrauded?
8 Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, and that your brethren.
8
But you wrong and defraud, and [do] this [to] brothers!
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,
9
Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived! Neither sexually immoral people, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor passive homosexual partners, nor dominant homosexual partners,
10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
10
nor thieves, nor greedy persons, not drunkards, not abusive persons, not swindlers will inherit the kingdom of 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.
11
And some of you were these [things], but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.
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.
12
All [things] are permitted for me, but not all [things] are profitable. All [things] are permitted for me, but I will not be controlled by anything.
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.
13
Food [is] for the stomach, and the stomach for food, but God will abolish {both of them}. Now the body [is] not for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.
14 And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power.
14
And God both raised up the Lord and will raise us up by his power.
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.
15
Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Therefore, shall I take away the members of Christ [and] make [them] members of a prostitute? May it never be!
16 What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh.
16
Or do you not know that the one who joins himself to a prostitute is one body [with her]? For it says, "The two will become one flesh."
17 But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.
17
But the one who joins himself to the Lord is one spirit [with him].
18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.
18
Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a person commits is outside his body, but the one who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body.
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?
19
Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit [who is] in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own?
20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.
20
For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God with your body.
