Modern Literal Version
[1 Corinthians 6]

     ^6:1 Does anyone of you^*, having a matter of strife toward the other, dare to have a lawsuit in front of the unrighteous and not in front of the holy-ones? ^6:2 Do you^* not know that the holy-ones will be judging the world? And if the world is judged among you^*, are you^* unworthy of the least of courts? ^6:3 Do you^* not know that we will be judging the messengers? Consequently^*, why notjudge the things of everyday life? ^6:4 Therefore, if you^* indeed have courts concerning things ofeveryday life, why are you^* seating these who have been scorned in the congregation^*as judges?^6:5 I am saying this to shame you^*. So is there not one wise person among you^*? Not even one who will be able to judge between his brethren? ^6:6 But brother is in a lawsuit with brother, and this in front of unbelieving people! ^6:7 Therefore, it is indeed already a literal loss to you^*, that you^* have lawsuits with yourselves. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be defrauded? ^6:8But instead you^* yourselves do wrong and defraud, and you^* do these things to brethren.

     ^6:9 Or do you^* not know that the unrighteous will not be inheriting the kingdom of God? Do^*not be misled. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor pedophiles, nor homosexuals,^6:10 nor the greedy ones, nor thieves, nor drunkards, not revilers, not ravening ones, will be inheriting the kingdom of God. ^6:11 And some of you^* were these, but you^* were fully-washed, but you^* were made holy, but you^* were made righteous in the name of the Lord Jesus and in the Spirit of our God.

     ^6:12 All things are legal for me, but not all things are advantageous. All things are legal for me, but I will not be brought-under the authority by anything. ^6:13 Foods are for the belly and the bellyis for foods, but God will be doing-away-with both this and these things. But the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.

     ^6:14 Now God both raised up the Lord and will be raising us up through his power. ^6:15 Do you^*not know that your^* bodies are members of Christ? Therefore, after I took the members of the Christ, should I make^* them members of a prostitute? Let it not happen! ^6:16 Therefore, do you^*not know that he who is joined to a prostitute is one body? For^* he says, The two will become one flesh. {Gen 2:24}^6:17 But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit. ^6:18 Flee^* fornication. Every sin, whatever a man practices, is outside the body, but he who is fornicating, sins at his own body. ^6:19 Or do you^* not know that your^* body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you^*, whom you^* have from God? And you^* are not your^* own; ^6:20 for^* you^* were bought with a price. Glorify^* God in your^* body and in your^* spirit which is God's!
