信徒的争执应由教会审判

你们中间有人和弟兄起了争执,怎敢告到不义的人面前,却不告在圣徒面前呢? 你们不知道圣徒要审判世界吗?既然世界要由你们来审判,难道你们不配审判这些最小的事吗? 你们不知道我们要审判天使吗?何况今生的事呢? 你们既然要审判今生的事,为甚么让教会不重视的人来审判呢? 我说这话,是要使你们羞愧。难道你们中间没有一个有智慧的人,能够审判弟兄之间的事吗? 你们竟然是弟兄告弟兄,而且告到不信的人面前去吗? 你们彼此告状,已经是你们的失败了。为甚么不宁愿受委屈呢?为甚么不甘心吃亏呢? 但你们反倒使人受委屈,叫人吃亏,而且他们就是你们的弟兄。 你们不知道不义的人不能承受 神的国吗?不要自欺,无论是行淫乱的、拜偶像的、奸淫的、作娈童的、亲男色的、 10 偷窃的、贪心的、醉酒的、辱骂人的或勒索的,都不能承受 神的国。 11 你们有些人从前也是这样的,但现在借着我们主耶稣基督的名,靠着我们 神的灵,都已经洗净了,圣洁了,称义了。

要用身体荣耀 神

12 甚么事我都可以作,但不是都有益处。甚么事我都可以作,但我不要受任何事的辖制。 13 食物是为了肚腹,肚腹是为了食物;但 神却要把这两样都废掉。身体不是为了淫乱,而是为了主,主也是为了身体。 14  神不但使主复活了,也要用他的能力使我们复活。 15 你们不知道你们的身体就是基督的肢体吗?这样,我们可以把基督的肢体当作娼妓的肢体吗?当然不可以! 16 你们不知道那跟娼妓苟合的,就是与她成为一体了吗?因为经上说:“二人要成为一体。” 17 但那与主联合的,就是与他成为一灵了。 18 你们要逃避淫乱的事。人所犯的,无论是甚么罪,都是在身体以外,唯有行淫乱的,是触犯自己的身体。 19 你们不知道你们的身体就是那位住在你们里面的圣灵的殿吗?这圣灵是你们从 神那里领受的。你们不是属于自己的, 20 因为你们是用重价买来的。所以你们务要用自己的身体荣耀 神。

Lawsuits Against Believers

When one of you has a grievance against another, does he dare go to law before the unrighteous (A)instead of the saints? Or do you not know that (B)the saints will judge the world? And if the world is to be judged by you, are you incompetent to try trivial cases? Do you not know that we are to judge angels? How much more, then, matters pertaining to this life! So if you have such cases, (C)why do you lay them before those who have no standing in the church? (D)I say this to your shame. Can it be that there is no one among you wise enough to settle a dispute between the brothers, but brother goes to law against brother, and that before unbelievers? To have lawsuits at all with one another is already a defeat for you. (E)Why not rather suffer wrong? Why not rather be defrauded? But you yourselves wrong and defraud—even (F)your own brothers![a]

Or do you not know that the unrighteous[b] will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: (G)neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality,[c] 10 nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And (H)such were some of you. But (I)you were washed, (J)you were sanctified, (K)you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.

Flee Sexual Immorality

12 (L)“All things are lawful for me,” but not all things are helpful. “All things are lawful for me,” but I will not be dominated by anything. 13 (M)“Food is meant for the stomach and the stomach for food”—and God will destroy both one (N)and the other. The body is not meant for sexual immorality, but (O)for the Lord, and (P)the Lord for the body. 14 And (Q)God raised the Lord and (R)will also raise us up (S)by his power. 15 Do you not know that (T)your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? Never! 16 Or do you not know that he who is joined[d] to a prostitute becomes one body with her? For, as it is written, (U)“The two will become one flesh.” 17 But he who is joined to the Lord (V)becomes one spirit with him. 18 (W)Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin[e] a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person (X)sins against his own body. 19 Or (Y)do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? (Z)You are not your own, 20 (AA)for you were bought with a price. (AB)So glorify God in your body.

Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints?

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?

Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?

If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church.

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?

But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before the unbelievers.

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?

Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, and that your brethren.

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.
