Modern Literal Version
[1 Corinthians 6]
6:1 Do any of you* dare, having a matter of strife toward the other, go to court before the unrighteous and not before the holy-ones? 6:2 Or do you* not know that the holy-ones will judge the world? And if the world is judged by you*, are you* unworthy of the smallest courts? 6:3 Do you* not know that we will judge the messengers? How much more the things of everyday life? 6:4Therefore if you* indeed have courts concerning things of everyday life, why are you* seating those who are scorned in the congregation as judges? 6:5 I am saying this to shame you*. So is there not one wise person among you*? Not even one who will be able to judge between his brethren? 6:6 But brother is going to court with brother and that before unbelievers! 6:7 Therefore, it is indeed already a literal loss among you* that you* have lawsuits with one another. Why not rather just be wronged? 6:8 No, but you* yourselves do wrong and defraud and you* do these thingsto brethren.
6:9 Or do you* not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be misled. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor perverts, nor homosexuals, 6:10 nor the greedy, nor thieves, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, will inherit the kingdom of God. 6:11 And some of you* were these; but you* were bathed, but you* were sanctified, but you*were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and in the Spirit of our God.
6:12 All things are legal for me, but not all things are advantageous. All things are legal for me, but I will not be brought under the authority by anything. 6:13 Foods are for the belly and the bellyis for foods; but God will do-away-with both this and these. But the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.
6:14 Now God both lifted up the Lord and will lift us up through his power. 6:15 Do you* not know that your* bodies are members of Christ? Therefore should I take away the members of Christ and make* them members of a harlot? Let it not happen! 6:16 Therefore do you* not know that he who is joined to a harlot is one body? For* he says, The two will become one flesh. {Gen. 2:24} 6:17 But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit. 6:18 Flee fornication. Every sin, whatever a man practices, is outside the body, but he who fornicates sins toward his own body. 6:19 Or do you* not know that your* body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you*, whom you* have from God? And you* are not your* own; 6:20 for* you* were bought with a price. Glorify God in your* body and in your spirit which is GodМs!
