¹Dare any of you, having a matter against his neighbor, go to law before the unrighteous, and not before the saints?

¹Kaip kai kurie iš jūsų, turėdami ginčų, drįsta bylinėtis vieni su kitais pas neteisiuosius, o ne pas šventuosius?

²Don’t you know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world is judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters?

²Ar nežinote, kad šventieji teis pasaulį? O jeigu teisite pasaulį, tai nejaugi esate neverti išspręsti menkų bylų?

³Don’t you know that we will judge angels? How much more, things that pertain to this life?

³Ar nežinote, kad mes teisime angelus, tad juo labiau­kasdieninius dalykus?

⁴If then, you have to judge things pertaining to this life, do you set them to judge who are of no account in the assembly?

⁴Taigi, kai turite bylų kasdieniais reikalais, negi savo teisėjais paskirsite neturinčius balso bažnyčioje?

⁵I say this to move you to shame. Isn’t there even one wise man among you who would be able to decide between his brothers?

⁵Tai sakau, norėdamas jus sugėdinti. Nejaugi pas jus nėra nė vieno išmintingo, kuris sugebėtų išspręsti tarp brolių iškilusią bylą?

⁶But brother goes to law with brother, and that before unbelievers!

⁶Bet brolis bylinėjasi su broliu ir tai daro pas netikinčius.

⁷Therefore it is already altogether a defect in you, that you have lawsuits one with another. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be defrauded?

⁷Ir iš viso jums didelis pažeminimas, kad tarpusavyje bylinėjatės. Ar ne geriau pakęsti skriaudą? Ar ne geriau pakęsti apgaulę?

⁸No, but you yourselves do wrong, and defraud, and that against your brothers.

⁸Deja, jūs patys skriaudžiate ir apgaudinėjate, ir dar brolius!

⁹Or don’t you know that the unrighteous will not inherit the Kingdom of God? Don’t be deceived. Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor male prostitutes, nor homosexuals,

⁹Ar nežinote, kad neteisieji nepaveldės Dievo karalystės? Neapsigaukite! Nei ištvirkėliai, nei stabmeldžiai, nei svetimautojai, nei homoseksualistai,

¹⁰nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor slanderers, nor extortioners, will inherit the Kingdom of God.

¹⁰nei vagys, nei gobšai, nei girtuokliai, nei keikūnai, nei plėšikai nepaveldės Dievo karalystės.

¹¹Such were some of you, but you were washed. But you were sanctified. But you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and in the Spirit of our God.

¹¹Kai kurie iš jūsų buvote tokie, bet dabar esate nuplauti, pašventinti, išteisinti Viešpaties Jėzaus Kristaus vardu ir mūsų Dievo Dvasia.

¹²“All things are lawful for me,” but not all things are expedient. “All things are lawful for me,” but I will not be brought under the power of anything.

¹²Viskas man leistina, bet ne viskas naudinga. Viskas man leistina, bet aš nesiduosiu niekieno pavergiamas!

¹³“Foods for the belly, and the belly for foods,” but God will bring to nothing both it and them. But the body is not for sexual immorality, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body.

¹³Valgis yra pilvui ir pilvas­valgiui, bet Dievas sunaikins ir vieną, ir kitą. Tačiau kūnas skirtas ne ištvirkavimui, bet Viešpačiui, o Viešpats­kūnui.

¹⁴Now God raised up the Lord, and will also raise us up by his power.

¹⁴Kaip Dievas prikėlė Viešpatį­prikels ir mus savo jėga.

¹⁵Don’t you know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them members of a prostitute? May it never be!

¹⁵Argi nežinote, kad jūsų kūnai yra Kristaus nariai? Tad nejaugi aš, ėmęs Kristaus narius, paversiu juos paleistuvės nariais? Jokiu būdu!

¹⁶Or don’t you know that he who is joined to a prostitute is one body? For, “The two,” says he, “will become one flesh.” Genesis 2:24

¹⁶Ar nežinote, kad tas, kuris susijungia su paleistuve, tampa vienas kūnas su ja? Nes “du taps,­sako Raštas,­vienu kūnu”.

¹⁷But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit.

¹⁷Taip pat, kas susijungia su Viešpačiu, tampa viena dvasia su Juo.

¹⁸Flee sexual immorality! “Every sin that a man does is outside the body,” but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body.

¹⁸Saugokitės ištvirkimo! Bet kokia kita žmogaus daroma nuodėmė nepaliečia kūno, o ištvirkėlis nusideda savo kūnui.

¹⁹Or don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which you have from God? You are not your own,

¹⁹Ar nežinote, kad jūsų kūnas yra šventykla jumyse gyvenančios Šventosios Dvasios, kurią gavote iš Dievo, ir kad jūs nebepriklausote patys sau?

²⁰for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.

²⁰Jūs esate nupirkti už didelę kainą. Tad šlovinkite Dievą savo kūnu ir savo dvasia, kurie yra Dievo.
