6:1 Audet aliquis vestrum habens negotium adversus alterum, judicari apud iniquos, et non apud sanctos ?

6:1 Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to be judged before the unjust: and not before the saints?

6:2 an nescitis quoniam sancti de hoc mundo judicabunt ? et si in vobis judicabitur mundus, indigni estis qui de minimis judicetis ?

6:2 Know you not that the saints shall judge this world? And if the world shall be judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters?

6:3 Nescitis quoniam angelos judicabimus ? quanto magis sæcularia ?

6:3 Know you not that we shall judge angels? How much more things of this world?

6:4 Sæcularia igitur judicia si habueritis : contemptibiles, qui sunt in ecclesia, illos constituite ad judicandum.

6:4 If therefore you have judgments of things pertaining to this world, set them to judge who are the most despised in the church.

6:5 Ad verecundiam vestram dico. Sic non est inter vos sapiens quisquam, qui possit judicare inter fratrem suum ?

6:5 I speak to your shame. Is it so that there is not among you any one wise man that is able to judge between his brethren?

6:6 Sed frater cum fratre judicio contendit : et hoc apud infideles ?

6:6 But brother goeth to law with brother: and that before unbelievers.

6:7 Jam quidem omnino delictum est in vobis, quod judicia habetis inter vos. Quare non magis injuriam accipitis ? quare non magis fraudem patimini ?

6:7 Already indeed there is plainly a fault among you, that you have law suits one with another. Why do you not rather take wrong? Why do you not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded?

6:8 Sed vos injuriam facitis, et fraudatis : et hoc fratribus.

6:8 But you do wrong and defraud: and that to your brethren.

6:9 An nescitis quia iniqui regnum Dei non possidebunt ? Nolite errare : neque fornicarii, neque idolis servientes, neque adulteri,

6:9 Know you not that the unjust shall not possess the kingdom of God? Do not err: Neither fornicators nor idolaters nor adulterers:

6:10 neque molles, neque masculorum concubitores, neque fures, neque avari, neque ebriosi, neque maledici, neque rapaces regnum Dei possidebunt.

6:10 Nor the effeminate nor liers with mankind nor thieves nor covetous nor drunkards nor railers nor extortioners shall possess the kingdom of God.

6:11 Et hæc quidam fuistis : sed abluti estis, sed sanctificati estis, sed justificati estis in nomine Domini nostri Jesu Christi, et in Spiritu Dei nostri.

6:11 And such some of you were. But you are washed: but you are sanctified: but you are justified: in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ and the Spirit of our God.

6:12 Omnia mihi licent, sed non omnia expediunt : omnia mihi licent, sed ego sub nullis redigar potestate.

6:12 All things are lawful to me: but all things are not expedient. All things are lawful to me: but I will not be brought under the power of any.

6:13 Esca ventri, et venter escis : Deus autem et hunc et has destruet : corpus autem non fornicationi, sed Domino : et Dominus corpori.

6:13 Meat for the belly and the belly for the meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. But the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord: and the Lord for the body.

6:14 Deus vero et Dominum suscitavit : et nos suscitabit per virtutem suam.

6:14 Now God hath raised up the Lord and will raise us up also by his power.

6:15 Nescitis quoniam corpora vestra membra sunt Christi ? Tollens ergo membra Christi, faciam membra meretricis ? Absit.

6:15 Know you 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!

6:16 An nescitis quoniam qui adhæret meretrici, unum corpus efficitur ? Erunt enim (inquit) duo in carne una.

6:16 Or know you not that he who is joined to a harlot is made one body? For they shall be, saith he, two in one flesh.

6:17 Qui autem adhæret Domino, unus spiritus est.

6:17 But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit.

6:18 Fugite fornicationem. Omne peccatum, quodcumque fecerit homo, extra corpus est : qui autem fornicatur, in corpus suum peccat.

6:18 Fly fornication. Every sin that a man doth is without the body: but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.

6:19 An nescitis quoniam membra vestra, templum sunt Spiritus Sancti, qui in vobis est, quem habetis a Deo, et non estis vestri ?

6:19 Or know you not that your members are the temple of the Holy Ghost, who is in you, whom you have from God: and you are not your own?

6:20 Empti enim estis pretio magno. Glorificate, et portate Deum in corpore vestro.

6:20 For you are bought with a great price. Glorify and bear God in your body.
