6:1 Does anyone of you*, having a matter of strife toward the other, dare to have a lawsuit in front of the unrighteous and not in front of the holy-ones?
6:2 Do you* not know that the holy-ones will be judging the world? And if the world is judged among you*, are you* unworthy of the least of courts?
6:3 Do you* not know that we will be judging the messengers? Why not judge the things of everyday life?
6:4 Therefore, if you* indeed have courts concerning things of everyday life, why are you* seating those who have been 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 in a lawsuit with brother, and that in front of unbelievers!
6:7 Therefore, it is indeed already a literal loss to you*, that you* have lawsuits with yourselves. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be defrauded?
6:8 But instead you* yourselves do wrong and defraud, and you * do these things to brethren.
6:9 Or do you* not know that the unrighteous will not be inheriting the kingdom of God? Do* not be misled. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor pedophiles, nor homosexuals,
6:10 nor the greedy ones, nor thieves, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor ravening ones, will be inheriting the kingdom of God.
6:11 And some of you* were these, but you* were fully-washed, but you* were made holy, but you* were made righteous 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 belly is for foods, but God will be doing-away-with both this and these things. But the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.
6:14 Now God both raised up the Lord and will be raising us up through his power.
6:15 Do you* not know that your* bodies are members of Christ? Therefore, after I took the members of the Christ, should I make* them members of a prostitute? Let it not happen!
6:16 Therefore, do you* not know that he who is joined to a prostitute 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 is fornicating, sins at 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 God's!
