1 Corinto 6
Ang Dating Biblia (1905)
6 Nangangahas baga ang sinoman sa inyo, kung mayroong anomang bagay laban sa iba, na siya'y magsakdal sa harapan ng mga liko, at hindi sa harapan ng mga banal?
2 O hindi baga ninyo nalalaman na ang mga banal ay magsisihatol sa sanglibutan? at kung ang sanglibutan ay hahatulan ninyo, hindi kaya baga dapat magsihatol kayo sa mga bagay na pinakamaliit?
3 Hindi baga ninyo nalalaman na ating hahatulan ang mga anghel? gaano pa kaya ang mga bagay na nauukol sa buhay na ito?
4 Kung kayo nga'y mayroong usapin na mga bagay na nauukol sa buhay na ito, ilalagay baga ninyo upang magsihatol ang mga taong walang halaga sa iglesia?
5 Sinasabi ko ito upang mangahiya kayo. Ano, diyata't wala baga sa inyo na isa mang marunong na makapagpapayo sa kaniyang mga kapatid,
6 Kundi ang kapatid ay nakikipagusapin laban sa kapatid, at ito'y sa harapan ng mga hindi nagsisipanampalataya?
7 Ngayon nga, tunay na isang pagkukulang sa inyo ang kayo-kayo'y magkaroon ng mga usapin. Bakit hindi bagkus ninyong tiisin ang mga kalikuan? bakit hindi bagkus kayo'y padaya?
8 Nguni't kayo rin ang mga nagsisigawa ng kalikuan, at nangagdaraya, at ito'y sa mga kapatid ninyo.
9 O hindi baga ninyo nalalaman na ang mga liko ay hindi magsisipagmana ng kaharian ng Dios? Huwag kayong padaya: kahit ang mga mapakiapid, ni ang mga mananamba sa diosdiosan, ni ang mga mangangalunya, ni ang mga nangbababae, ni ang mga mapakiapid sa kapuwa lalake.
10 Ni ang mga magnanakaw, ni ang mga masasakim, ni ang mga manglalasing, ni ang mga mapagtungayaw, ni ang mga manglulupig, ay hindi mangagmamana ng kaharian ng Dios.
11 At ganyan ang mga ilan sa inyo: nguni't nangahugasan na kayo, nguni't binanal na kayo, nguni't inaring-ganap na kayo sa pangalan ng Panginoong Jesucristo, at sa Espiritu ng ating Dios.
12 Ang lahat ng mga bagay sa akin ay matuwid; nguni't hindi ang lahat ay nararapat. Ang lahat ng mga bagay sa akin ay matuwid; nguni't hindi ako pasasakop sa kapangyarihan ng anoman.
13 Ang mga pagkain ay sa tiyan, at ang tiyan ay sa mga pagkain: nguni't kapuwa iwawasak ng Dios yaon at ang mga ito. Datapuwa't ang katawan ay hindi sa pakikiapid, kundi sa Panginoon; at ang Panginoon ay sa katawan:
14 At muling binuhay ng Dios ang Panginoon, at muling bubuhayin naman tayo sa pamamagitan ng kaniyang kapangyarihan.
15 Hindi baga ninyo nalalaman na ang inyong mga katawan ay mga sangkap ni Cristo? kukunin ko nga baga ang mga sangkap ni Cristo, at gagawin kong mga sangkap ng isang patutot? Huwag nawang mangyari.
16 O hindi baga ninyo nalalaman na ang nakikisama sa patutot, ay kaisang katawan niya? sapagka't sinasabi niya, Ang dalawa ay magiging isang laman.
17 Nguni't ang nakikisama sa Panginoon, ay kaisang espiritu niya.
18 Magsitakas kayo sa pakikiapid. Lahat ng kasalanang gawin ng mga tao ay nangasa labas ng katawan; nguni't ang gumagawa ng pakikiapid ay nagkakasala laban sa kaniyang sariling katawan.
19 O hindi baga ninyo nalalaman na ang inyong katawan ay templo ng Espiritu Santo na nasa inyo, na tinanggap ninyo sa Dios? at hindi kayo sa inyong sarili;
20 Sapagka't kayo'y binili sa halaga: luwalhatiin nga ninyo ng inyong katawan ang Dios.

Lawsuits Against Believers
6 When one of you has a grievance against another, does he dare go to law before the unrighteous (A)instead of the saints? 2 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? 3 Do you not know that we are to judge angels? How much more, then, matters pertaining to this life! 4 So if you have such cases, (C)why do you lay them before those who have no standing in the church? 5 (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, 6 but brother goes to law against brother, and that before unbelievers? 7 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? 8 But you yourselves wrong and defraud—even (F)your own brothers![a]
9 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.

Judging Problems Among Christians
6 When one of you has something against a brother in Christ, why do you go to the judges in the law courts? Those people are not right with God. So why do you let them decide who is right? You should be ashamed! Why do you not let God’s people decide who is right? 2 Surely you know that God’s people will judge the world. So if you are to judge the world, then surely you are able to judge small things as well. 3 You know that in the future we will judge angels. So surely we can judge things in this life. 4 So if you have disagreements that must be judged, why do you take them to those who are not part of the church? They mean nothing to the church. 5 I say this to shame you. Surely there is someone among you wise enough to judge a complaint between two brothers in Christ. 6 But now one brother goes to court against another brother. And you let men who are not believers judge their case!
7 The lawsuits that you have against each other show that you are already defeated. It would be better for you to let someone wrong you! It would be better for you to let someone cheat you! 8 But you yourselves do wrong and cheat! And you do this to your own brothers in Christ!
9-10 Surely you know that the people who do wrong will not receive God’s kingdom. Do not be fooled. These people will not receive God’s kingdom: those who are sexually immoral, or worship idols, or take part in adultery, or men who have physical relations with other men, or steal, or are selfish, or get drunk, or lie about others, or cheat. 11 In the past, some of you were like that. But you were washed clean. You were made holy. And you were made right with God in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.
Use Your Bodies for God’s Glory
12 “I am allowed to do all things.” But not all things are good for me to do. “I am allowed to do all things.” But I must not do those things that will make me their slave. 13 “Food is for the stomach, and the stomach for food.” Yes. But God will destroy them both. The body is not for sexual immorality. The body is for the Lord, and the Lord is for the body. 14 By God’s power God raised the Lord Jesus from death. And God will also raise us from death. 15 Surely you know that your bodies are parts of Christ himself. So I must never take parts of Christ and join them to a prostitute! 16 It is written in the Scriptures, “The two people will become one body.”[a] So you should know that a man who joins himself with a prostitute becomes one with her in body. 17 But the one who joins himself with the Lord is one with the Lord in spirit.
18 So run away from sexual immorality. Every other sin that a person does is outside the body. But those who are sexually immoral sin against their own bodies. 19 You should know that your body is a temple for the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is in you. You have received the Holy Spirit from God. You do not own yourselves. 20 You were bought by God for a price. So honor God with your bodies.
