歌林多前書 6
信徒的爭執應由教會審判
1 你們中間有人和弟兄起了爭執，怎敢告到不義的人面前，卻不告在聖徒面前呢？2 你們不知道聖徒要審判世界嗎？既然世界要由你們來審判，難道你們不配審判這些最小的事嗎？3 你們不知道我們要審判天使嗎？何況今生的事呢？4 你們既然要審判今生的事，為甚麼讓教會不重視的人來審判呢？5 我說這話，是要使你們羞愧。難道你們中間沒有一個有智慧的人，能夠審判弟兄之間的事嗎？6 你們竟然是弟兄告弟兄，而且告到不信的人面前去嗎？7 你們彼此告狀，已經是你們的失敗了。為甚麼不寧願受委屈呢？為甚麼不甘心吃虧呢？8 但你們反倒使人受委屈，叫人吃虧，而且他們就是你們的弟兄。9 你們不知道不義的人不能承受 神的國嗎？不要自欺，無論是行淫亂的、拜偶像的、姦淫的、作孌童的、親男色的、10 偷竊的、貪心的、醉酒的、辱罵人的或勒索的，都不能承受 神的國。
11 你們有些人從前也是這樣的，但現在藉著我們主耶穌基督的名，靠著我們 神的靈，都已經洗淨了，聖潔了，稱義了。
要用身體榮耀 神
12 甚麼事我都可以作，但不是都有益處。甚麼事我都可以作，但我不要受任何事的轄制。13 食物是為了肚腹，肚腹是為了食物；但 神卻要把這兩樣都廢掉。身體不是為了淫亂，而是為了主，主也是為了身體。14 神不但使主復活了，也要用他的能力使我們復活。15 你們不知道你們的身體就是基督的肢體嗎？這樣，我們可以把基督的肢體當作娼妓的肢體嗎？當然不可以！16 你們不知道那跟娼妓苟合的，就是與她成為一體了嗎？因為經上說：“二人要成為一體。”17 但那與主聯合的，就是與他成為一靈了。18 你們要逃避淫亂的事。人所犯的，無論是甚麼罪，都是在身體以外，唯有行淫亂的，是觸犯自己的身體。19 你們不知道你們的身體就是那位住在你們裡面的聖靈的殿嗎？這聖靈是你們從 神那裡領受的。你們不是屬於自己的，
20 因為你們是用重價買來的。所以你們務要用自己的身體榮耀 神。
婚姻的問題
1 Corinthians 6
Lawsuits
1 When any of you has a legal dispute with another, does he dare go to court before the unrighteous rather than before the saints?2 Or do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world is to be judged by you, are you not competent to settle trivial suits?3 Do you not know that we will judge angels? Why not ordinary matters!4 So if you have ordinary lawsuits, do you appoint as judges those who have no standing in the church?t5 I say this to your shame! Is there no one among you wise enough to settle disputes between fellow Christians?t6 Instead, does a Christian sue a Christian,t and do this before unbelievers?7 The fact that you have lawsuits among yourselves demonstrates that you have already been defeated. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be cheated?
8 But you yourselves wrong and cheat, and you do this to your brothers and sisters!t
9 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived! The sexually immoral, idolaters, adulterers, passive homosexual partners,t practicing homosexuals,t10 thieves, the greedy, drunkards, the verbally abusive,t and swindlers will not inherit the kingdom of God.
11 Some of you once lived this way.t But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christs and by the Spirit of our God.
Flee Sexual Immorality
12 “All things are lawful for me”s – but not everything is beneficial. “All things are lawful for me” – but I will not be controlled by anything.13 “Food is for the stomach and the stomach is for food, but God will do away with both.”ts The body is not for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.14 Now God indeed raised the Lord and he will raise us by his power.15 Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Should I take the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? Never!16 Or do you not know that anyone who is united witht a prostitute is one body with her?t For it is said, “The two will become one flesh.”s17 But the one united witht the Lord is one spirit with him.t18 Flee sexual immorality! “Every sin a person commits is outside of the body”s – but the immoral person sins against his own body.19 Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you,t whom you have from God, and you are not your own?
20 For you were bought at a price. Therefore glorify God with your body.
