New International Version NIV
Young's Literal Translation YLT
1 If any of you has a dispute with another, do you dare to take it before the ungodly for judgment instead of before the Lord’s people?
1
Dare any one of you, having a matter with the other, go to be judged before the unrighteous, and not before the saints?
2 Or do you not know that the Lord’s people will judge the world? And if you are to judge the world, are you not competent to judge trivial cases?
2
have ye not known that the saints shall judge the world? and if by you the world is judged, are ye unworthy of the smaller judgments?
3 Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more the things of this life!
3
have ye not known that we shall judge messengers? why not then the things of life?
4 Therefore, if you have disputes about such matters, do you ask for a ruling from those whose way of life is scorned in the church?
4
of the things of life, indeed, then, if ye may have judgment, those despised in the assembly -- these cause ye to sit;
5 I say this to shame you. Is it possible that there is nobody among you wise enough to judge a dispute between believers?
5
unto your shame I speak: so there is not among you one wise man, not even one, who shall be able to discern in the midst of his brethren!
6 But instead, one brother takes another to court—and this in front of unbelievers!
6
but brother with brother doth go to be judged, and this before unbelievers!
7 The very fact that you have lawsuits among you means you have been completely defeated already. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be cheated?
7
Already, indeed, then, there is altogether a fault among you, that ye have judgments with one another; wherefore do ye not rather suffer injustice? wherefore be ye not rather defrauded?
8 Instead, you yourselves cheat and do wrong, and you do this to your brothers and sisters.
8
but ye -- ye do injustice, and ye defraud, and these -- brethren!
9 Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men
9
have ye not known that the unrighteous the reign of God shall not inherit? be not led astray; neither whoremongers, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor sodomites,
10 nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
10
nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, the reign of God shall inherit.
11 And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.
11
And certain of you were these! but ye were washed, but ye were sanctified, but ye were declared righteous, in the name of the Lord Jesus, and in the Spirit of our God.
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.
12
All things are lawful to me, but all things are not profitable; all things are lawful to me, but I -- I will not be under authority by any;
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.
13
the meats [are] for the belly, and the belly for the meats. And God both this and these shall make useless; and the body [is] not for whoredom, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body;
14 By his power God raised the Lord from the dead, and he will raise us also.
14
and God both the Lord did raise, and us will raise up through His power.
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!
15
Have ye not known that your bodies are members of Christ? having taken, then, the members of the Christ, shall I make [them] members of an harlot? let it be not!
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.”
16
have ye not known that he who is joined to the harlot is one body? `for they shall be -- saith He -- the two for one flesh.'
17 But whoever is united with the Lord is one with him in spirit.
17
And he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit;
18 Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a person commits are outside the body, but whoever sins sexually, sins against their own body.
18
flee the whoredom; every sin -- whatever a man may commit -- is without the body, and he who is committing whoredom, against his own body doth sin.
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;
19
Have ye not known that your body is a sanctuary of the Holy Spirit in you, which ye have from God? and ye are not your own,
20 you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.
20
for ye were bought with a price; glorify, then, God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's.
