Ang Pagsinumbongay sa Managsoon sa Pagtuo

Kon ang usa kaninyo adunay reklamo batok sa iyang isigka-tumutuo, nganong ipaabot pa man niya kini ngadto sa husgado nga wala makaila sa Dios? Nganong dili man niya kini dad-on ngadto sa mga tumutuo aron husayon? Dili ba nga sa kaulahiang mga adlaw kitang mga tumutuo mao ang mohukom sa mga tawo nga wala motuo sa Dios? Busa kon kamo ang mohukom sa mga tawo niining kalibotan, nganong dili man kamo makahimo sa paghusay nianang gamay lang nga husayonon? Dili ba nga bisan gani ang mga anghel atong pagahukman? Nan mahimo usab ninyo nga husayon ang mga kaso niining kinabuhia. Busa kon kamo adunay mga sumbong batok sa usag usa, nganong dad-on pa man ninyo kana ngadto sa mga tawo nga wala gani ilha sa mga tumutuo? Angay kamong maulaw! Ngano, wala ba gayod diha kaninyoy maalam nga mahibalong mohusay sa inyong giawayan? Managsama kamong mga tumutuo, apan kamo usab mismo ang nagsinumbongay, ug didto pa gayod atubangan sa mga dili tumutuo.

Kanang inyong pagsinumbongay nagpakita lang sa inyong kapildihan. Maayo pa nga pasagdan na lang ninyo ang nagabuhat ug daotan ug nanglimbong kaninyo. Apan sa inyong gibuhat, kamo mismo ang nanglimbong ug nagbuhat ug daotan ngadto sa inyong mga igsoon sa pagtuo. Dili ba nga ang tawo nga nagabuhat ug daotan dili makapanunod sa gingharian sa Dios? Busa ayaw ninyo limbongi ang inyong kaugalingon! Kay dili gayod makapanunod sa gingharian sa Dios ang mga makighilawas gawas sa kaminyoon, ang mga nagasimba sa mga dios-dios, ang mga mananapaw, ang mga lalaki nga nagabaligya sa ilang dungog, ang mga lalaki nga makighilawas sa sama nilang lalaki, 10 ang mga kawatan, ang mga hakog, ang mga palahubog, ang mga mapasipalahon, ug ang mga mangingilad. 11 Ang uban kaninyo sama niini kaniadto. Apan nahinloan na kamo sa inyong mga sala, gigahin na kamo sa Dios nga mahimong iya, ug gipakamatarong na tungod kang Ginoong Jesu-Cristo ug tungod sa Espiritu sa atong Dios.

Ang Inyong Lawas Puloy-anan sa Dios

12 Tingali adunay moingon, “Mahimo ko ang pagbuhat sa bisan unsa.” Tinuod kana, apan dili tanan makaayo. Bisan kon tugotan ako sa pagbuhat sa bisan unsa, dili gayod ako magpaulipon sa bisan unsa. 13 Tingali adunay moingon nga, “Ang pagkaon gibuhat alang sa tiyan ug ang tiyan gibuhat alang sa pagkaon.” Tinuod kana, apan moabot ang adlaw nga ang tiyan ug ang pagkaon walaon sa Dios. Apan dili tinuod nga ang lawas sa tawo gibuhat alang sa pagpakighilawas gawas sa kaminyoon, kondili gibuhat kini alang sa Ginoo; ug ang Ginoo mao ang nagaatiman niini. 14 Ug sa kaulahian, kining atong lawas banhawon sa Dios pinaagi sa iyang gahom, sama sa gibuhat niya sa atong Ginoo.

15 Dili ba nga kitang mga tumutuo kabahin man sa lawas ni Cristo? Mao kana nga ang atong lawas nga kabahin sa lawas ni Cristo dili nato mahimong gamiton sa pagpakighilawas sa babayeng nagabaligya sa iyang dungog. 16 Dili ba nga kon ang lalaki makighilawas sa babaye nga sama niana, silang duha mahimong usa na lang ka lawas? Kay ang Kasulatan nagaingon, “Silang duha mahimong usa.”[a] 17 Apan, kon kita nakighiusa kang Ginoong Jesu-Cristo nausa na kita kaniya sa espiritu.

18 Busa likayi ninyo ang pagpakighilawas gawas sa kaminyoon. Ang ubang mga sala nga gibuhat sa tawo walay kalabotan sa lawas, apan ang tawo nga nakighilawas gawas sa kaminyoon nakasala batok sa iyang kaugalingong lawas. 19 Dili ba ang Espiritu Santo nga gihatag sa Dios nagapuyo sa atong lawas isip iyang templo? Busa kining atong lawas dili ato kondili iya sa Dios. 20 Kay mahal ang iyang pagpalit kanato. Busa gamita ninyo ang inyong lawas sa pamaagi nga madayeg ang Dios.

Lawsuits Among Believers

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) 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? Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more the things of this life! 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? 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) But instead, one brother(E) takes another to court—and this in front of unbelievers!(F)

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) Instead, you yourselves cheat and do wrong, and you do this to your brothers and sisters.(H) 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)

  1. 1 Corinthians 6:9 The words men who have sex with men translate two Greek words that refer to the passive and active participants in homosexual acts.
  2. 1 Corinthians 6:16 Gen. 2:24
  3. 1 Corinthians 6:17 Or in the Spirit

Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints?

Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters?

Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?

If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church.

I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you? no, not one that shall be able to judge between his brethren?

But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before the unbelievers.

Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law one with another. Why do ye not rather take wrong? why do ye not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded?

Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, and that your brethren.

Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,

10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

12 All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.

13 Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body.

14 And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power.

15 Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid.

16 What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh.

17 But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.

18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.

19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?

20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.
