1 Ja jums citam pret citu ir kāda sūdzība, vai tad jāgriežas pie netaisno tiesas un ne pie svēto tiesas? 2 Jeb vai jūs nezināt, ka svētie tiesās pasauli? Ja tad nu jūs esat pasaules tiesneši, vai tad jūs nebūtu cienīgi iztiesāt vismazākās lietas? 3 Vai nezināt, ka mēs tiesāsim eņģeļus? Kamdēļ tad gan nevarētu iztiesāt laicīgās lietas? 4 Ja jums ir sūdzības par laicīgām lietām, vai tad jūs ieceļat tādus par tiesnešiem, kas nav cienīti draudzē? 5 To es saku jums par apkaunošanu. Vai tad jūsu vidū nebūtu neviena prātīga vīra, kas brāļu starpā varētu tiesu spriest? 6 Bet brālis iet tiesāties ar brāli, un tad vēl pie neticīgajiem. 7 Jau tā nav laba lieta, ka jūsu starpā vispār tiesājas. Kādēļ jūs labāk nepaciešat netaisnību? Kādēļ jūs labāk nepanesat pārestību? 8 Bet jūs darāt netaisnību un pārestību un to vēl brāļiem. 9 Jeb vai jūs nezināt, ka netaisni neiemantos Dieva valstību? Nepievilieties! Ne netikli, ne elku kalpi, ne laulības pārkāpēji, ne malaki , ne vīriešu piegulētāji, 10 ne zagļi, ne mantrauši, ne dzērāji, ne zaimotāji, ne laupītāji neiemantos Dieva valstību. 11 Un daži no jums bija tādi. Bet jūs esat nomazgāti, jūs esat svēti kļuvuši, jūs esat taisnoti Kunga Jēzus Kristus Vārdā un mūsu Dieva Garā. 12 Viss man ir atļauts, bet ne viss der. Viss man ir atļauts, bet nekas nedrīkst mani kalpināt. 13 Barība vēderam, un vēders barībai. Bet Dievs abus iznīcinās. Miesa nav netiklībai, bet Tam Kungam, un Tas Kungs miesai. 14 Dievs ir To Kungu uzmodinājis, un Viņš uzmodinās arī mūs ar Savu spēku. 15 Vai nezināt, ka jūsu miesas ir Kristus locekļi? Vai tad lai es padaru Kristus locekļus par netikles locekļiem? Nemūžam ne! 16 Jeb vai nezināt, ka tas, kas biedrojas ar netikli, ir viena miesa ar to? Ir sacīts: tie abi būs viena miesa. - 17 Bet, kas turas pie Tā Kunga, ir viens gars ar Viņu. 18 Sargaities no netiklības! Katrs cits grēks, ko cilvēks dara, paliek ārpus miesas, bet, kas netiklības grēku dara, grēko pie savas paša miesas. 19 Jeb vai jūs nezināt, ka jūsu miesa ir Svētā Gara mājoklis, kas ir jūsos un ko jūs esat saņēmuši no Dieva, un ka jūs nepiederat sev pašiem? 20 Jo jūs esat dārgi atpirkti. Tad nu pagodiniet Dievu ar savu miesu!
1 Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, 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? 3 Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life? 4 If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed 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? 6 But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before the 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? 8 Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, and that your brethren. 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, 10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall 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.
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. 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. 14 And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own 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. 16 What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh. 17 But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit. 18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth 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? 20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.
