1 Corinto 6
Magandang Balita Biblia (with Deuterocanon)
Ayusin ang Awayan ng Kapatiran
6 Kung may reklamo ang sinuman sa inyo laban sa kanyang kapatid sa pananampalataya, bakit siya nagsasakdal sa mga hukom na di-mananampalataya, sa halip na ipaubaya sa mga hinirang ng Diyos ang pag-aayos ng usapin nila? 2 Hindi ba ninyo alam na ang mga hinirang ng Diyos ang hahatol sa sanlibutan? Kung kayo ang hahatol sa sanlibutan, hindi ba ninyo kayang hatulan ang ganyang kaliit na bagay? 3 Hindi ba ninyo alam na hahatulan natin ang mga anghel? Gaano na lang ang mga bagay na may kinalaman sa buhay na ito! 4 Kung may mga usapin kayo, bakit ninyo ito idinudulog sa mga taong hindi kinikilala ng iglesya? 5 Dapat kayong mahiya! Wala bang isa man lang sa inyo na marunong mag-ayos ng awayan ng magkakapatid? 6 Bakit nagsasakdal kayo sa hukuman, kapatid laban sa kapatid, at sa harap pa naman ng mga di-mananampalataya?
7 Ang pagkakaroon ninyo ng usapin laban sa isa't isa ay isa nang kabiguan sa inyo. Bakit hindi na lang ninyo hayaang gawan kayo ng masama? Bakit hindi na lamang ninyo hayaang madaya kayo? 8 Subalit kayo mismo ang gumagawa ng masama at nandaraya, kahit na sa mga sarili ninyong mga kapatid sa pananampalataya. 9 Hindi ba ninyo alam na ang mga makasalanan ay walang bahagi sa kaharian ng Diyos? Huwag ninyong dayain ang inyong sarili! Ang mga nakikiapid, sumasamba sa diyus-diyosan, nangangalunya, nakikipagtalik sa kapwa lalaki o kapwa babae, 10 nagnanakaw, sakim, naglalasing, nanlalait ng kapwa, o nandaraya, ay walang bahagi sa kaharian ng Diyos. 11 Ganyan ang ilan sa inyo noon. Subalit nilinis na kayo sa inyong mga kasalanan at ginawa na kayong banal ng Diyos. Pinawalang-sala na kayo sa pangalan ng Panginoong Jesu-Cristo at sa pamamagitan ng Espiritu ng ating Diyos.
Ang Katawan Ninyo'y Templo ng Diyos
12 May(A) magsasabi, “Malaya akong makagagawa ng kahit ano,” ngunit ang sagot ko naman ay “Hindi lahat ng bagay ay nakakabuti.” Maaari ko ring sabihin, “Malaya akong gumawa ng kahit ano,” ngunit hindi ako magpapaalipin sa anumang bagay. 13 Sasabihin naman ng iba, “Ang pagkain ay para sa tiyan at ang tiyan ay para sa pagkain.” Totoo iyan, ngunit parehong sisirain ng Diyos ang mga ito. Ang katawan ay hindi para sa imoralidad sapagkat ito'y para sa paglilingkod sa Panginoon, at ang Panginoon naman ang nag-aalaga sa katawan. 14 Muling binuhay ng Diyos si Jesu-Cristo, at tayo man ay muling bubuhayin sa pamamagitan ng kanyang kapangyarihan.
15 Hindi ba ninyo alam na ang inyong mga katawan ay mga bahagi ng katawan ni Cristo? Kukunin ko ba ang bahagi ng katawan ni Cristo upang gawing bahagi ng katawan ng isang babaing nagbebenta ng aliw? Hinding-hindi! 16 Hindi(B) ba ninyo alam na nagiging isa ang katawan ng bayarang babae at ng nakikipagtalik sa kanya? Sapagkat sinasabi sa kasulatan, “Ang dalawa'y magiging isa.” 17 Ang nakikipag-isa sa Panginoon ay nakikipag-isa sa kanya sa espiritu.
18 Iwasan ninyo ang imoralidad. Ang ibang kasalanang nagagawa ng tao ay hindi nakakasira sa katawan, ngunit ang gumagawa ng imoralidad ay nagkakasala laban sa sarili niyang katawan. 19 Hindi(C) ba ninyo alam na ang inyong katawan ay templo ng Espiritu Santo na nasa inyo at ipinagkaloob ng Diyos sa inyo? Hindi ninyo pag-aari ang inyong katawan; 20 sapagkat binili na kayo sa isang halaga. Kaya't gamitin ninyo ang inyong katawan upang maparangalan ang Diyos.
1 Corinthians 6
New King James Version
Do Not Sue the Brethren
6 Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unrighteous, and not before the (A)saints? 2 Do you not know that (B)the saints will judge the world? And if the world will be judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters? 3 Do you not know that we shall (C)judge angels? How much more, things that pertain to this life? 4 If then you have [a]judgments concerning things pertaining to this life, do you appoint those who are least esteemed by the church to judge? 5 I say this to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you, not even one, who will be able to judge between his brethren? 6 But brother goes to law against brother, and that before unbelievers!
7 Now therefore, it is already an utter failure for you that you go to law against one another. (D)Why do you not rather accept wrong? Why do you not rather let yourselves be cheated? 8 No, you yourselves do wrong and cheat, and you do these things to your brethren! 9 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. (E)Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor [b]homosexuals, nor [c]sodomites, 10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And such were (F)some of you. (G)But you were washed, but you were [d]sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.
Glorify God in Body and Spirit
12 (H)All things are lawful for me, but all things are not [e]helpful. All things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of [f]any. 13 (I)Foods for the stomach and the stomach for foods, but God will destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for (J)sexual immorality but (K)for the Lord, (L)and the Lord for the body. 14 And (M)God both raised up the Lord and will also raise us up (N)by His power.
15 Do you not know that (O)your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a harlot? Certainly not! 16 Or do you not know that he who is joined to a harlot is one body with her? For (P)“the two,” He says, “shall become one flesh.” 17 (Q)But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him.
18 (R)Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins (S)against his own body. 19 Or (T)do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, (U)and you are not your own? 20 For (V)you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body [g]and in your spirit, which are God’s.

World English Bible
6 Dare any of you, having a matter against his neighbor, go to law before the unrighteous, and not before the saints? 2 Don’t you know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world is judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters? 3 Don’t you know that we will judge angels? How much more, things that pertain to this life? 4 If then you have to judge things pertaining to this life, do you set them to judge who are of no account in the assembly? 5 I say this to move you to shame. Isn’t there even one wise man among you who would be able to decide between his brothers? 6 But brother goes to law with brother, and that before unbelievers! 7 Therefore it is already altogether a defect in you that you have lawsuits one with another. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be defrauded? 8 No, but you yourselves do wrong and defraud, and that against your brothers.
9 Or don’t you know that the unrighteous will not inherit God’s Kingdom? Don’t be deceived. Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor male prostitutes, nor homosexuals, 10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor slanderers, nor extortionists, will inherit God’s Kingdom. 11 Some of you were such, but you were washed. You were sanctified. You were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and in the Spirit of our God.
12 “All things are lawful for me,” but not all things are expedient. “All things are lawful for me,” but I will not be brought under the power of anything. 13 “Foods for the belly, and the belly for foods,” but God will bring to nothing both it and them. But the body is not for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body. 14 Now God raised up the Lord, and will also raise us up by his power. 15 Don’t you know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? May it never be! 16 Or don’t you know that he who is joined to a prostitute is one body? For, “The two”, he says, “will become one flesh.”(A) 17 But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit. 18 Flee sexual immorality! “Every sin that a man does is outside the body,” but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. 19 Or don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, 20 for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.
