New Testament in Greek (UBS.Ed.26) |
|
|
| 6 1 | IF ONE OF YOUR NUMBER has a dispute with another, has he the face to take it to pagan law-courts instead of to the community of God's people? | Going to Law before Unbelievers 1Cor.6.1-11 | Τολμᾷ τις ὑμῶν πρᾶγμα ἐχων πρὸς τὸν ἑτερον κρίνεσθαι ἐπὶ τῶν ἀδίκων, καὶ οὐχὶ ἐπὶ τῶν ἀγίων; |
|
| 2 | It is God's people who are to judge the world; surely you know that. And if the world is to come before you for judgement, are you incompetent to deal with these trifling cases? | | ἢ οὐκ οἰδατε ὅτι οἱ ἀγιοι τὸν κόσμον κρινοῦσιν; καὶ εἰ ἐν ὑμῖν κρίνεται ὁ κόσμος, ἀνάξιοί ἐστε κριτηρίων ἐλαχίστων; |
|
| 3 | Are you not aware that we are to judge angels? How much more, mere matters of business! | | οὐκ οἰδατε ὅτι ἀγγέλους κρινοῦμεν, μήτι γε βιωτικά; |
|
| 4 | If therefore you have such business disputes, how can you entrust jurisdiction to outsiders, men who count | | βιωτικὰ μὲν οὖν κριτήρια ἐὰν ἐχητε, τοὺς ἐξουθενημένους ἐν τῇ ἐκκλησίᾳ τούτους καθίζετὲ; |
|
| 5 | for nothing in our community? I write this to shame you. Can it be that there is not a single wise man among you able to give a decision in a brother-Christian's cause? | | πρὸς ἐντροπὴν ὑμῖν λέγω. οὑτως οὐκ ἐνι ἐν ὑμῖν οὐδεὶς σοφὸς ὃς δυνήσεται διακρῖναι ἀνὰ μέσον τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ αὐτοῦ; |
|
| 6 | Must brother go to law with brother-and before unbelievers? | | ἀλλὰ ἀδελφὸς μετὰ ἀδελφοῦ κρίνεται, καὶ τοῦτο ἐπὶ ἀπίστων; |
|
| 7 | Indeed, you already fall below your standard in going to law with one another at all. Why not rather suffer injury? Why not rather let yourself be robbed? | | ἠδη μὲν οὖν ὁλως ἡττημα ὑμῖν ἐστιν ὅτι κρίματα ἐχετε μεθ' ἑαυτῶν· διὰ τί οὐχὶ μᾶλλον ἀδικεῖσθὲ διὰ τί οὐχὶ μᾶλλον ἀποστερεῖσθὲ; |
|
| 8 | So far from this, you actually injure and rob-injure and rob your brothers! | | ἀλλὰ ὑμεῖς ἀδικεῖτε καὶ ἀποστερεῖτε, καὶ τοῦτο ἀδελφούς. |
|
| 9 | Surely you know that the unjust will never come into possession of the kingdom of God. Make no mistake: no fornicator or idolater, none who are guilty either of adultery or of homosexual perversion, | | ἢ οὐκ οἰδατε ὅτι ἀδικοι θεοῦ βασιλείαν οὐ κληρονομήσουσιν; μὴ πλανᾶσθε· οὐτε πόρνοι οὐτε εἰδωλολάτραι οὐτε μοιχοὶ οὐτε μαλακοὶ οὐτε ἀρσενοκοῖται |
|
| 10 | no thieves or grabbers or drunkards or slanderers or swindlers, will possess the kingdom of God. | | οὐτε κλέπται οὐτε πλεονέκται, οὐ μέθυσοι, οὐ λοίδοροι, οὐχ ἀρπαγες βασιλείαν θεοῦ κληρονομήσουσιν. |
|
| 11 | Such were some of you. But you have been through the purifying waters; you have been dedicated to God and justified through the name of the Lord Jesus and the Spirit of our God. | | καὶ ταῦτά τινες ἦτε· ἀλλὰ ἀπελούσασθε, ἀλλὰ ἡγιάσθητε, ἀλλὰ ἐδικαιώθητε ἐν τῷ ὀνόματι τοῦ κυρίου Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ καὶ ἐν τῷ πνεύματι τοῦ θεοῦ ἡμῶν. |
