1 Corintios 6

Biblia del Jubileo

6 ¶ ¿Osa alguno de vosotros, teniendo pleito con otro, ir a juicio delante de los injustos, y no delante de los santos?

²¿O no sabéis que los santos han de juzgar al mundo? Y si el mundo ha de ser juzgado por vosotros, ¿sois indignos de juzgar cosas muy pequeñas?

³¿O no sabéis que hemos de juzgar a los ángeles? ¿Cuánto más las cosas de esta vida?

⁴Por tanto, si hubiereis de tener juicios de cosas de esta vida, poned por jueces a los más humildes que están en la Iglesia.

⁵Para avergonzaros lo digo. ¿Pues qué, no hay entre vosotros sabio, ni aun uno que pueda juzgar entre sus hermanos?

⁶Sino que el hermano con el hermano pleitea en juicio; y esto delante de los infieles.

⁷Así que, por cierto es ya una falta en vosotros que tengáis pleitos entre vosotros mismos. ¿Por qué no soportáis antes la injuria? ¿Por qué no soportáis antes la calumnia?

⁸Pero vosotros hacéis la injuria, y la calumnia, y esto a los hermanos.

⁹¶ ¿O no sabéis que los injustos no heredarán el Reino de Dios? No erréis, que ni los fornicarios, ni los idólatras, ni los adúlteros, ni los afeminados, ni los homosexuales,

¹⁰ni los ladrones, ni los avaros, ni los borrachos, ni los maldicientes, ni los estafadores, heredarán el Reino de Dios.

¹¹Y esto érais algunos; mas ya sois lavados, mas ya sois santificados, mas ya sois justificados en el Nombre del Señor Jesús, y en el Espíritu del Dios nuestro.

¹²¶ Todas las cosas me son lícitas, mas no todas convienen; todas las cosas me son lícitas, mas yo no me meteré debajo de la potestad de ninguna.

¹³Las viandas son para el vientre, y el vientre para las viandas; sin embargo a él y a ellas deshará Dios. Mas el cuerpo no es para la fornicación, sino para el Señor; y el Señor para el cuerpo;

¹⁴y Dios que levantó al Señor, también a nosotros nos levantará con su poder.

¹⁵¿No sabéis que vuestros cuerpos son miembros de Cristo? ¿Quitaré pues los miembros de Cristo, y los haré miembros de una ramera? De ninguna manera.

¹⁶¿O no sabéis que el que se junta con la ramera, es hecho con ella un cuerpo? Porque serán, dice, los dos (en) una carne.

¹⁷Pero el que se junta con el Señor, un espíritu es.

¹⁸Huid de la fornicación. Cualquier otro pecado que el hombre hiciere, fuera del cuerpo está; mas el que fornica, contra su propio cuerpo peca.

¹⁹¿O ignoráis que vuestro cuerpo es templo del Espíritu Santo, (el cual está) en vosotros, el cual tenéis de Dios, y que no sois vuestros?

²⁰Porque comprados sois por (gran) precio; glorificad, pues, (y traed) a Dios en vuestro cuerpo y en vuestro espíritu, los cuales son de Dios.

Morality in Legal Matters

6 When one of you has a complaint against another, does he dare to take the matter before those who are unrighteous and not before the saints? ²You know that the saints will rule the world, don’t you? And if the world is going to be ruled by you, can’t you handle insignificant cases? ³You know that we will rule angels, not to mention things in this life, don’t you? ⁴So if you have cases dealing with this life, why do you appoint as judges people who have no standing in the church? ⁵I say this to make you feel ashamed. Has it come to this, that there is not one person among you who is wise enough to settle disagreements between brothers?^[a] ⁶Instead, one brother goes to court against another brother, and before unbelieving judges,^[b] at that! ⁷The very fact that you have lawsuits among yourselves is already a defeat for you. Why not rather just accept the wrong? Why not rather be cheated? ⁸Instead, you yourselves practice doing wrong and cheating others, and brothers at that!

⁹You know that wicked people will not inherit the kingdom of God, don’t you? Stop deceiving yourselves! Sexually immoral people, idolaters, adulterers, male prostitutes, homosexuals, ¹⁰thieves, greedy people, drunks, slanderers, and robbers will not inherit the kingdom of God. ¹¹That is what some of you were! But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of our Lord Jesus the Messiah^[c] and by the Spirit of our God.

Morality in Sexual Matters

¹²Everything is permissible for me, but not everything is helpful. Everything is permissible for me, but I will not allow anything to control me. ¹³Food is for the stomach, and the stomach is for food, but God will make them both unnecessary. The body is not meant for sexual immorality but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body. ¹⁴God raised the Lord, and by his power he will also raise us.

¹⁵You know that your bodies belong to the Messiah,^[d] don’t you? Should I take what belongs to the Messiah^[e] and unite them with a prostitute? Certainly not! ¹⁶You know that the person who unites himself with a prostitute becomes one body with her, don’t you? For it is said, “The two will become one flesh.”^[f] ¹⁷But the person who unites himself with the Lord becomes one spirit with him.

¹⁸Keep on running away from sexual immorality. Any other^[g] sin that a person commits is outside his body, but the person who sins sexually sins against his own body. ¹⁹You know that your body is a sanctuary of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have received from God, don’t you? You do not belong to yourselves, ²⁰because you were bought for a price. Therefore, glorify God with your bodies.

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? ²Do 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? ³Do you not know that we shall ^(C)judge angels? How much more, things that pertain to this life? ⁴If then you have ^[a]judgments concerning things pertaining to this life, do you appoint those who are least esteemed by the church to judge? ⁵I 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? ⁶But brother goes to law against brother, and that before unbelievers!

⁷Now 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? ⁸No, you yourselves do wrong and cheat, and you do these things to your brethren! ⁹Do 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, ¹⁰nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. ¹¹And 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. ¹⁴And ^(M)God both raised up the Lord and will also raise us up ^(N)by His power.

¹⁵Do 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! ¹⁶Or 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. ¹⁹Or ^(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? ²⁰For ^(V)you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body ^[g]and in your spirit, which are God’s.

Lawsuits Among Believers

6 If any of you has a dispute with another, do you dare to take it before the ungodly for judgment instead of before the Lord’s people?^(A) ²Or do you not know that the Lord’s people will judge the world?^(B) And if you are to judge the world, are you not competent to judge trivial cases? ³Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more the things of this life! ⁴Therefore, if you have disputes about such matters, do you ask for a ruling from those whose way of life is scorned in the church? ⁵I say this to shame you.^(C) Is it possible that there is nobody among you wise enough to judge a dispute between believers?^(D) ⁶But instead, one brother^(E) takes another to court—and this in front of unbelievers!^(F)

⁷The very fact that you have lawsuits among you means you have been completely defeated already. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be cheated?^(G) ⁸Instead, you yourselves cheat and do wrong, and you do this to your brothers and sisters.^(H) ⁹Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God?^(I) Do not be deceived:^(J) Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers^(K) nor men who have sex with men^[a]^(L) ¹⁰nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers^(M) will inherit the kingdom of God. ¹¹And that is what some of you were.^(N) But you were washed,^(O) you were sanctified,^(P) you were justified^(Q) in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.

Sexual Immorality

¹²“I have the right to do anything,” you say—but not everything is beneficial.^(R) “I have the right to do anything”—but I will not be mastered by anything. ¹³You say, “Food for the stomach and the stomach for food, and God will destroy them both.”^(S) The body, however, is not meant for sexual immorality but for the Lord,^(T) and the Lord for the body. ¹⁴By his power God raised the Lord from the dead,^(U) and he will raise us also.^(V) ¹⁵Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ himself?^(W) Shall I then take the members of Christ and unite them with a prostitute? Never! ¹⁶Do you not know that he who unites himself with a prostitute is one with her in body? For it is said, “The two will become one flesh.”^[b]^(X) ¹⁷But whoever is united with the Lord is one with him in spirit.^[c]^(Y)

¹⁸Flee from sexual immorality.^(Z) All other sins a person commits are outside the body, but whoever sins sexually, sins against their own body.^(AA) ¹⁹Do you not know that your bodies are temples^(AB) of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own;^(AC) ²⁰you were bought at a price.^(AD) Therefore honor God with your bodies.^(AE)
