1 Corinthians 6 - New Testament in Braid Scots 1904 (William Wye Smith)CHAPTIR SAX. Aboot law‐pleas, and unholie leevin. 1 Daur ony oʼ ye, haein a plea wiʼ his neebor, gang to the coort afore the unrichtous, and no gang afore the saunts? 2 Or ken‐ye‐na that the saunts sal judge the warld? And gin by you the warld is judged, are ye unfit for the smaʼest tribunal? 3 Ken‐ye‐na that we sal judge Angels? hoo muckle mair, than, things oʼ this life? 4 Gin than, ye hae to judge things oʼ this life, wad ye hae thae to judge that ye esteem‐na iʼ the kirk? 5 I speak this to shame you. Sae! is it possible thar isna amang ye a discernin man, ane fit to gie a judgment atween his brethren? 6 But brither has a plea wiʼ brither, and that afore unbelievers! 7 Nay, eʼen noo are ye cuisten in yere plea! to hae law‐pleas ane wiʼ anither. Why div‐ye‐na raither tak wrang? Why div‐ye‐na raither thole defraudin? 8 Nay, but eʼen ye yersels do wrang, and defraud; and that yere ain brethren! 9 Ken‐ye‐na that the ill‐deedie sanna come intil Godʼs Kingdom? Dinna be misleared; naither unclean, nor eidol‐lovers, nor adulterers, nor miscaʼers, nor Sodomites, 10 Nor thieves, nor sellie, nor the drucken, nor thae that curse, nor extortioners, sal come to possess the Kingdom oʼ God. 11 And sic war some oʼ ye; but ye had them weshed awa, but ye war made pure, but ye war declarʼt richtous — iʼ the name oʼ the Lord Jesus Christ, and iʼ the Spirit oʼ oor God. 12 Aʼ things are allooʼt to me but aʼ things wadna profit me; aʼ things are allooʼt to me, but I winna be behauden to ony. 13 Meats for the stammack, and the stammack for meats; but God wull bring to nocht baith it and them. The body isna for uncleanness, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body. 14 God baith raised‐again the Lord; and wull raise us throwe his pooer. 15 Ken‐ye‐na that aʼ yere pairts are pairts oʼ Christ? Takin than the pairts oʼ Christ, sal I mak them the pairts oʼ a harlot? 16 Or ken‐ye‐na that he that joins his sel to a harlot is ae body? (“For,” says he, “the twa sal be ae flesh.”) 17 But he that joins his sel to the Lord is ae spirit. 18 Flee frae uncleanness! Ilka sin that a man may do is unco to his body; whauras, he wha commits uncleanness feshes sin intil his ain body. 19 Or ken‐ye‐na that yere body is a temple oʼ the Holie Spirit within ye, that ye hae frae God? and that ye war‐na yere ain? 20 In vera deed, ye war coft wiʼ a price; sae, magnify God in yere body. |
