1. Korinťanom 6
1 Kto z vás sa odváži, keď má s iným spor, súdiť sa pred nespravodlivými, a nie pred svätými?!2 Vari neviete, že svätí budú súdiť svet?! A ak vy máte súdiť svet, nie ste hodní rozsúdiť maličkosti?!3 Neviete, že budeme súdiť anjelov? O čo viac potom veci všedného dňa!4 Ak sa teda potrebujete súdiť vo veciach všedného života, rozhodnete sa pre takých sudcov, ktorí nie sú pred cirkvou ničím?5 Na vaše zahanbenie to hovorím. Vari nie je medzi vami nik múdry, kto by mohol rozsúdiť svojich bratov?6 Ale brat s bratom sa súdi - a to pred neveriacimi?!7 Už vôbec to je u vás chyba, že sa súdite medzi sebou. Prečo radšej nestrpíte krivdu? Prečo radšej neznesiete škodu?8 Ale vy krivdíte a škodíte, a to bratom!9 Neviete, že nespravodliví nebudú dedičmi Božieho kráľovstva? Nemýľte sa: ani smilníci, ani modloslužobníci, ani cudzoložníci, ani chlipníci, ani súložníci mužov,10 ani zlodeji, ani chamtivci, ani opilci, ani utŕhači, ani lupiči nebudú dedičmi Božieho kráľovstva.11 A niektorí ste toto boli. Ale obmyli ste sa, boli ste posvätení, boli ste ospravedlnení v mene Pána Ježiša Krista a v Duchu nášho Boha.12 „Všetko smiem.“ Ale nie všetko osoží. „Všetko smiem.“ Ale ja sa ničím nedám zotročiť.13 „Jedlo je pre žalúdok a žalúdok pre jedlo.“ Boh však zničí jedno aj druhé. Ale telo nie je na smilstvo, lež pre Pána a Pán pre telo.14 A Boh aj Pána vzkriesil a vzkriesi aj nás svojou mocou.15 Vari neviete, že vaše telá sú Kristovými údmi? Môžem teda vziať Kristove údy a urobiť ich údmi neviestky? Vonkoncom nie!16 Alebo neviete, že ten, kto sa spája s neviestkou, je s ňou jedno telo? Veď sa hovorí: „Budú dvaja v jednom tele.“17 Ale kto sa spája s Pánom, je s ním jeden Duch.18 Varujte sa smilstva! Každý hriech, ktorého by sa človek dopustil, je mimo tela; kto však smilní, hreší proti vlastnému telu.19 A neviete, že vaše telo je chrámom Ducha Svätého, ktorý je vo vás, ktorého máte od Boha, a že nepatríte sebe?20 Draho ste boli kúpení. Oslavujte teda Boha vo svojom tele!
1 CORINTHIANS 6
Taking Each Other to Court
1 When one of you has a complaint against another, do you take your complaint to a court of sinners? Or do you take it to God's people? 2 Don't you know that God's people will judge the world? And if you are going to judge the world, can't you settle small problems? 3 Don't you know we will judge angels? And if this is so, we can surely judge everyday matters. 4 Why do you take everyday complaints to judges who are not respected by the church? 5 I say this to your shame. Aren't any of you wise enough to act as a judge between one follower and another?
6 Why should one of you take another to be tried by unbelievers?
7 When one of you takes another to court, all of you lose. It would be better to let yourselves be cheated and robbed.
8 But instead, you cheat and rob other followers.
9 Don't you know that evil people won't have a share in the blessings of God's kingdom? Don't fool yourselves! No one who is immoral or worships idols or is unfaithful in marriage or is a pervert or behaves like a homosexual 10 will share in God's kingdom. Neither will any thief or greedy person or drunkard or anyone who curses and cheats others.
11 Some of you used to be like that. But now the name of our Lord Jesus Christ and the power of God's Spirit have washed you and made you holy and acceptable to God.Honor God with Your Body
12 t Some of you say, “We can do anything we want to.” But I tell you not everything is good for us. So I refuse to let anything have power over me. 13 You also say, “Food is meant for our bodies, and our bodies are meant for food.” But I tell you that God will destroy them both. We are not supposed to do indecent things with our bodies. We are to use them for the Lord who is in charge of our bodies.
14 God will raise us from death by the same power he used when he raised our Lord to life.
15 Don't you know that your bodies are part of the body of Christ? Is it right for me to join part of the body of Christ to a prostitute? No, it isn't! 16 t Don't you know that a man who does that becomes part of her body? The Scriptures say, “The two of them will be like one person.”
17 But anyone who is joined to the Lord is one in spirit with him.
18 Don't be immoral in matters of sex. That is a sin against your own body in a way no other sin is. 19 t You surely know that your body is a temple where the Holy Spirit lives. The Spirit is in you and is a gift from God. You are no longer your own. 20 God paid a great price for you. So use your body to honor God.
