Ayusin ang Awayan ng Kapatiran

6 Kung may reklamo ang sinuman sa inyo laban sa kanyang kapatid sa pananampalataya, bakit siya nagsasakdal sa mga hukom na di-mananampalataya, sa halip na ipaubaya sa mga hinirang ng Diyos ang pag-aayos ng usapin nila? 2 Hindi ba ninyo alam na ang mga hinirang ng Diyos ang hahatol sa sanlibutan? Kung kayo ang hahatol sa sanlibutan, hindi ba ninyo kayang hatulan ang ganyang kaliit na bagay? 3 Hindi ba ninyo alam na hahatulan natin ang mga anghel? Gaano na lang ang mga bagay na may kinalaman sa buhay na ito! 4 Kung may mga usapin kayo, bakit ninyo ito idinudulog sa mga taong hindi kinikilala ng iglesya? 5 Dapat kayong mahiya! Wala bang isa man lang sa inyo na marunong mag-ayos ng awayan ng magkakapatid? 6 Bakit nagsasakdal kayo sa hukuman, kapatid laban sa kapatid, at sa harap pa naman ng mga di-mananampalataya?

7 Ang pagkakaroon ninyo ng usapin laban sa isa't isa ay isa nang kabiguan sa inyo. Bakit hindi na lang ninyo hayaang gawan kayo ng masama? Bakit hindi na lamang ninyo hayaang madaya kayo? 8 Subalit kayo mismo ang gumagawa ng masama at nandaraya, kahit na sa mga sarili ninyong mga kapatid sa pananampalataya. 9 Hindi ba ninyo alam na ang mga makasalanan ay walang bahagi sa kaharian ng Diyos? Huwag ninyong dayain ang inyong sarili! Ang mga nakikiapid, sumasamba sa diyus-diyosan, nangangalunya, nakikipagtalik sa kapwa lalaki o kapwa babae, 10 nagnanakaw, sakim, naglalasing, nanlalait ng kapwa, o nandaraya, ay walang bahagi sa kaharian ng Diyos. 11 Ganyan ang ilan sa inyo noon. Subalit nilinis na kayo sa inyong mga kasalanan at ginawa na kayong banal ng Diyos. Pinawalang-sala na kayo sa pangalan ng Panginoong Jesu-Cristo at sa pamamagitan ng Espiritu ng ating Diyos.

Ang Katawan Ninyo'y Templo ng Diyos

12 May(A) magsasabi, “Malaya akong makagagawa ng kahit ano,” ngunit ang sagot ko naman ay “Hindi lahat ng bagay ay nakakabuti.” Maaari ko ring sabihin, “Malaya akong gumawa ng kahit ano,” ngunit hindi ako magpapaalipin sa anumang bagay. 13 Sasabihin naman ng iba, “Ang pagkain ay para sa tiyan at ang tiyan ay para sa pagkain.” Totoo iyan, ngunit parehong sisirain ng Diyos ang mga ito. Ang katawan ay hindi para sa imoralidad sapagkat ito'y para sa paglilingkod sa Panginoon, at ang Panginoon naman ang nag-aalaga sa katawan. 14 Muling binuhay ng Diyos si Jesu-Cristo, at tayo man ay muling bubuhayin sa pamamagitan ng kanyang kapangyarihan.

15 Hindi ba ninyo alam na ang inyong mga katawan ay mga bahagi ng katawan ni Cristo? Kukunin ko ba ang bahagi ng katawan ni Cristo upang gawing bahagi ng katawan ng isang babaing nagbebenta ng aliw? Hinding-hindi! 16 Hindi(B) ba ninyo alam na nagiging isa ang katawan ng bayarang babae at ng nakikipagtalik sa kanya? Sapagkat sinasabi sa kasulatan, “Ang dalawa'y magiging isa.” 17 Ang nakikipag-isa sa Panginoon ay nakikipag-isa sa kanya sa espiritu.

18 Iwasan ninyo ang imoralidad. Ang ibang kasalanang nagagawa ng tao ay hindi nakakasira sa katawan, ngunit ang gumagawa ng imoralidad ay nagkakasala laban sa sarili niyang katawan. 19 Hindi(C) ba ninyo alam na ang inyong katawan ay templo ng Espiritu Santo na nasa inyo at ipinagkaloob ng Diyos sa inyo? Hindi ninyo pag-aari ang inyong katawan; 20 sapagkat binili na kayo sa isang halaga. Kaya't gamitin ninyo ang inyong katawan upang maparangalan ang Diyos.

New King James Version

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

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

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

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.

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) 2 Or 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? 3 Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more the things of this life! 4 Therefore, if you have disputes about such matters, do you ask for a ruling from those whose way of life is scorned in the church? 5 I say this to shame you.(C) Is it possible that there is nobody among you wise enough to judge a dispute between believers?(D) 6 But instead, one brother(E) takes another to court—and this in front of unbelievers!(F)

7 The 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) 8 Instead, you yourselves cheat and do wrong, and you do this to your brothers and sisters.(H) 9 Or 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) 10 nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers(M) will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And 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. 13 You 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. 14 By his power God raised the Lord from the dead,(U) and he will raise us also.(V) 15 Do 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! 16 Do 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) 17 But whoever is united with the Lord is one with him in spirit.[c](Y)

18 Flee from sexual immorality.(Z) All other sins a person commits are outside the body, but whoever sins sexually, sins against their own body.(AA) 19 Do 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) 20 you were bought at a price.(AD) Therefore honor God with your bodies.(AE)
