1 Dare any one of you, having a matter against another, prosecute his suit before the unjust, and not before the saints?

2 Do ye not then know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world is judged by you, are ye unworthy of {the} smallest judgments?

3 Do ye not know that we shall judge angels? and not then matters of this life?

4 If then ye have judgments as to things of this life, set those {to judge} who are little esteemed in the assembly.

5 I speak to you {to put you} to shame. Thus there is not a wise person among you, not even one, who shall be able to decide between his brethren!

6 But brother prosecutes his suit with brother, and that before unbelievers.

7 Already indeed then it is altogether a fault in you that ye have suits between yourselves. Why do ye not rather suffer wrong? why are ye not rather defrauded?

8 But *ye* do wrong, and defraud, and this {your} brethren.

9 Do ye not know that unrighteous {persons} shall not inherit {the} kingdom of God? Do not err: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor those who make women of themselves, nor who abuse themselves with men,

10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor abusive persons, nor {the} rapacious, shall inherit {the} kingdom of God.

11 And these things were some of you; but ye have been washed, but ye have been sanctified, but ye have been justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

12 All things are lawful to me, but all things do not profit; all things are lawful to me, but *I* will not be brought under the power of any.

13 Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats; but God will bring to nothing both it and them: but the body {is} not for fornication, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.

14 And God has both raised up the Lord, and will raise us up from among {the dead} by his power.

15 Do ye not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then, taking the members of the Christ, make {them} members of a harlot? Far be the thought.

16 Do ye not know that he {that is} joined to the harlot is one body? for the two, he says, shall be one flesh.

17 But he that {is} joined to the Lord is one Spirit.

18 Flee fornication. Every sin which a man may practise is without the body, but he that commits fornication sins against his own body.

19 Do ye not know that your body is {the} temple of the Holy Spirit which {is} in you, which ye have of God; and ye are not your own?

20 for ye have been bought with a price: glorify now then God in your body.

1 Ka kaha ranei tetahi o koutou, mehemea he tautohe tana ki tona hoa, ki te haere ki te whakawa i te aroaro o te hunga he, a kauaka ki te aroaro o te hunga tapu?

2 Kahore oti koutou i matau ma te hunga tapu e whakawa te ao? ki te riro ma koutou e whakawa te ao, e kore ranei koutou e tau hei whakarite i nga mea iti rawa?

3 Kahore koutou i matau ko tatou hei whakawa mo nga anahera? kauaka oti nga mea o tenei ao?

4 Na, ki te mea he whakawa a koutou ki nga mea o tenei ao, whakanohoia ai ranei e koutou ko te hunga iti o te hahi hei whakarite?

5 I korero atu ai ahau i tenei kia whakama ai koutou. Koia ranei, kahore rawa e kitea kia kotahi he tangata whakaaro i roto i a koutou, hei whakarite ina whakawa ona teina i a raua?

6 kei te whakawa ia te tuakana i te teina, a i te aroaro rawa o te hunga whakaponokore?

7 Ehara, kua waiho ke tena hei he i roto i a koutou, ta koutou whakawa tetahi i tetahi. he aha te whakaririka kau ai ina ahatia koutou? he aha te tangohia noatia atu ai a koutou mea?

8 Ehara, ko koutou tonu kei te mahi i te he, a kei te tango pokanoa, ko o koutou teina ano te meatanga.

9 Tena ranei kahore koutou i te matau, e kore te hunga whakahere he e whiwhi ki te rangatiratanga o te Atua? Kei tinihangatia koutou; e kore te hunga moepuku, te hunga karakia whakapakoko ranei, te hunga puremu, te hunga whakawahine, te hunga ranei e mea ana i te tane hei wahine,

10 Nga tangata tahae, nga tangata apo, nga haurangi, te hunga taunu, te hunga hao taonga ranei, e whiwhi ki te rangatiratanga o te Atua.

11 He pera hoki etahi o koutou i mua; otira kua horoia koutou, kua whakatapua, kua whakatikaia i runga i te ingoa o te Ariki, o Ihu Karaiti, he meatanga na te Wairua o to tatou Atua.

12 He tika nga mea katoa maku, otira e kore e pai katoa. he tika nga mea katoa maku, otira e kore ahau e pai ki tetahi mea hei rangatira moku.

13 Ko nga kai mo te kopu, ko te kopu mo nga kai: heoi ka ngaro tenei i te Atua me era hoki. Ehara hoki te tinana i te mea mo te moepuku, engari ma te Ariki, ko te Ariki hoki hei Ariki mo te tinana:

14 A na te Atua i ara ai te Ariki, waihoki mana tatou ka ara ai, ma tona kaha.

15 Kahore oti koutou i matau, he wahi o koutou tinana no te Karaiti? me tango koia e ahau nga wahi o te Karaiti, a ka mea i a ratou hei wahi mo te wahine kairau? Kahore rapea!

16 A kahore ranei koutou i matau, ko te tangata e honoa ki te wahine kairau he tinana kotahi? e ki ana hoki ia, Hei kikokiko kotahi raua tokorua.

17 Otiia ko te tangata e honoa ki te Ariki, kotahi tonu te wairua.

18 Rere atu ra i te moepuku. No waho o te tinana nga hara katoa e hara ai te tangata; ko te tangata ia e moepuku ana, e hara ana ia ki tona ake tinana.

19 A kahore ranei koutou i matau, he whare tapu to koutou tinana no te Wairua Tapu i roto na i a koutou, i homai nei e te Atua? e ehara i te mea no koutou ake koutou;

20 Kua oti hoki koutou te hoko ki te utu: whakakororiatia te Atua ki o koutou tinana.
