1 ¶ Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go unto judgment before the unjust, and not before the saints?

Dare any one of you, having a matter with the other, go to be judged before the unrighteous, and not before the saints?

2 D o 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?

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 K now ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more the things that pertain to this life?

have ye not known that we shall judge messengers? why not then the things of life?

4 I f then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set as judges the most humble who are in the congregation.

of the things of life, indeed, then, if ye may have judgment, those despised in the assembly -- these cause ye to sit;

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 brothers?

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 B ut brother goes to judgment against brother, and that before the unbelievers.

but brother with brother doth go to be judged, and this before unbelievers!

7 N ow therefore there is certainly a fault among you, because ye go to law one with another. Why do ye not rather suffer the wrong? why do ye not rather be defrauded?

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 B ut ye do wrong and defraud and do this to your brothers.

but ye -- ye do injustice, and ye defraud, and these -- brethren!

9 ¶ Know ye not that the unjust shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not err: neither fornicators nor idolaters nor adulterers nor effeminate nor homosexuals

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 n or thieves nor covetous nor drunkards nor revilers nor extortioners shall inherit the kingdom of God.

nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, the reign of God shall inherit.

11 A nd such were some of you, but now ye are washed, but now ye are sanctified, but now ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and in the Spirit of our God.

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 ¶ 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.

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 F oods are for the belly, and the belly for foods; 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.

the meats for the belly, and the belly for the meats. And God both this and these shall make useless; and the body not for whoredom, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body;

14 A nd God, who raised up the Lord, will also raise up us by his own power.

and God both the Lord did raise, and us will raise up through His power.

15 K now ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them the members of a harlot? In no wise.

Have ye not known that your bodies are members of Christ? having taken, then, the members of the Christ, shall I make members of an harlot? let it be not!

16 W hat? know ye not that he who is joined to the harlot is one body with her? For they shall be, saith he, two in one flesh.

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 B ut he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.

And he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit;

18 F lee fornication. Any other sin that a man does is outside the body, but he that commits fornication sins against his own body.

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 W hat? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom ye have of God, and that ye are not your own?

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 F or ye are bought with a price, therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.

for ye were bought with a price; glorify, then, God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's.
