Chapter 6 of 1 Corinthians—New American Standard Bible (NASB)

  1. ¶ Does any one of you, when he has a [a]case against his neighbor, dare to go to law before the unrighteous and 1not before the [b]saints?
  2. Or 2do you not know that 3the [c]saints will judge 4the world? If the world is judged by you, are you not competent to [d]constitute the smallest law courts?
  3. 5Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more matters of this life?
  4. So if you have law courts dealing with matters of this life, [e]do you appoint them as judges who are of no account in the church?
  5. 6I say this to your shame. Is it so, that there is not among you one wise man who will be able to decide between his 7brethren,
  6. but brother goes to law with brother, and that before 8unbelievers?
  7. ¶ Actually, then, it is already a defeat for you, that you have lawsuits with one another. 9Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be defrauded?
  8. On the contrary, you yourselves wrong and defraud. You do this even to your 10brethren.
  9. ¶ Or 11do you not know that the unrighteous will not 12inherit the kingdom of God? 13Do not be deceived; 14neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor [f]effeminate, nor homosexuals,
  10. nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will 15inherit the kingdom of God.
  11. 16Such were some of you; but you were 17washed, but you were 18sanctified, but you were 19justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.
  12. 20All things are lawful for me, but not all things are profitable. All things are lawful for me, but I will not be mastered by anything.
  13. 21Food is for the [g]stomach and the [h]stomach is for food, but God will 22do away with both [i]of them. Yet the body is not for immorality, but 23for the Lord, and 24the Lord is for the body.
  14. Now God has not only 25raised the Lord, but 26will also raise us up through His power.
  15. 27Do you not know that 28your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take away the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? 29May it never be!
  16. Or 30do you not know that the one who joins himself to a prostitute is one body with her? For He says, “31THE TWO SHALL BECOME ONE FLESH.”
  17. But the one who joins himself to the Lord is 32one spirit with Him.
  18. 33Flee immorality. Every other sin that a man commits is outside the body, but the [j]immoral man sins against his own body.
  19. Or 34do you not know that 35your body is a [k]temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from [l]God, and that 36you are not your own?
  20. For 37you have been bought with a price: therefore glorify God in 38your body.

    When i do read some comments and seeing that its the same people that are supposed to be called believers but are talking ill of other denominations, it hurts. Let us all remember that We should judge not

      The bible tells us to test the spirits. Satan disguises himself as angel of light. So yes some denomination are not teaching the truth. You are responsible for judging which ones are not. You have to judge the truth at all times. this is what the bible teaches

    The NWT is a very good translation. Dr. Jason David BeDuhn PhD attests to that in his book Truth in Translation. drive.google.com/...5p16melHzg8/view

      NWT is a false translation that takes away from the deity of Jesus !

    Thank you for taking the time to provide this service. I like seeing the NASB on your web page in the same format as I read on paper. On other sites, the text area is smaller, and so I have to keep scrolling down to read and sometimes I lose the context. So I really appreciate the format.

    As far as the NWT, you are certainly free to do whatever you think best with your own web pages. I'd suggest that you make a note anytime you have a translation that is associated with only one denomination or church, for example:
    New World Translation (Jehovah's Witness version).

    In Jesus' parable of the wheat and the tares. the main idea seems to be that you can't easily distinguish between God's people and not-God's people on this earth, so our Lord's response is to wait until they are shown to be the kind of people they are inside. But the NWT seems like false teaching to me. So I think the warning passages from Jesus' apostles are more applicable, as in 2 Peter 3:15-16, when he talks about Paul's writings:
    "There are some things in them that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures."
    And we also have the positive exhortations, as in 2 Timothy 2:15:
    "Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth."

      Your suggestion regarding the denominational flagging is duly noted. But I can’t help but wonder, wouldn’t a Catholic also want “Protestant versions” marked as well?

      As for the parable, I’m pretty sure the slaves were convinced in their own minds that they could tell the tares from the wheat. After all, aren’t they the ones who identified the problem in the first place? But the master obviously thought otherwise.

      Furthermore, even at the time when Jesus himself was walking the earth, not everybody who claimed fellowship actually followed him causing John to inquire at Mark 9:39, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name, and we tried to prevent him because he was not following us.” But Jesus said, “Do not hinder him . . . for he who is not against us is for us.”

    Hello, question.. why have you included the NWT with other legitimate bible translations? Or why have you not atleast included a warning to readers? Don't you fear that someone could be influenced by the Watchtower's intentional heresies? Thank you.
