1 Corinthians chapters 5 and 6. And it still doesn't prohibit homosexuality

-->

ολως ακουεται εν υμιν προνεια και τοιαυτη πορνεια ητις ουδε εν τοις εθνεσιν ωστε γυναικα τινα του πατρος εχειν

* It is commonly heard that there is immorality among you, and such immorality which is not even among the nations, such as a woman who belongs to a father. 

This is one of the forbidden relations in Deut 22:30, 27:20, and in Lev 18:8 and 20:11.

Και υμεις πεφυσιωμενοι εστε και ουχι μαλλον επενθησατε ινα αρθη εκ μεσου υμων ο το εργν τουτο πραξας

* You are puffed up.  did you not mourn instead? for having done this, he might be taken out of the midst of you.

Εγω μεν γαρ απων τω σωματι παρων δε τω πνευματι ηδη κεκρικα ως παρων τον ουτως τουτο κατεργασαμενον

* I, though being absent in body, am present in spirit; being present, I have already judged the one who did this.

Εν τω ονοματι του κυριου υμων Ιησου συναχθεντων υμων και του εμου πνευματος συν τη δυναμει του κυριου ημων Ιησου

* Having gathered you together in the name of our Lord Jesus, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus,

παραδουναι τον ποιουτοντω Σατανα εις ολεθρον της σαρκος ινα το πνευμα σωθη εν τη ημερα του κυριου

* To deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, in order that his spirit might be saved in the day of the Lord

Paul references Job 2:3:  Then the LORD said to Satan, "Have you considered my servant Job? There is no one on earth like him; he is blameless and upright, a man who fears God and shuns evil. And he still maintains his integrity, though you incited me against him to ruin him without any reason."

 ου καλον το μαυχημα υμων ουκ οιδατε οτι μικρα ζυμη ολον το φυραμα ζυμοι

* Not good is your boasting. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump?

Paul references Hosea 7:4:  They are all adulterers;
they are like a heated oven
whose baker ceases to stir the fire,
from the kneading of the dough
until it is leavened.

Εκκαθαρατε την παλαιαν ζυμην ινα ητε νεον φυραμα καθως εστε αζυμοι και γαρ το πασχα υμων ετυθη Χριστος

* Cleanse out the old leaven that you may be a new lump, as you really are unleavened. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed.

Ωστε εορταζομεν μη εν ζυμη παλαια μηδε εν ζυμη κακιας και πονηριας αλλ εν αζυμοις ειλικρινειας και αληθειας

* Let us therefore celebrate the festival, not with the old leaven, the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

Εγραψα υμιν εν τη επιστολη μη σθναναμιγνυσθαι πορνοις

* I wrote to you in my letter not to associate with immoral ones— 

The Corinthians don’t listen to Paul.

ου παντως τοις πορνοις του κοσμου τουτου η τοις πλεονεκταις και αρπαξιν η ειδωλολατραις επει ωφειλετε αρα εκ του κοσμου εξελθειν

* Certainly not with the immoral of this world, or the covetous and swindlers, or idolaters, since then you would need to go out of the world. 

Paul gives a short version of the top 10 “you will not” list.

Νθν δε εγραψα υμιν μη σθναναμιγνυσθαι εαν τις αδελφος ονομαζζομινος η πορνος η πλεονεκτης η ειδολολατρης η λοιδορος η μεθυσος η αρπαξ τω τοιουτω μηδε συνεστιειν

* Now I am writing to you not to associate with him.   If any brother is designated immoral or covetous, or idolater, or reviler, or drunkard, or or swindler—do not even eat with such a one. 

Τι γαρ μοι τους εξω κρινειεν οθχι τους εσω υμεις κρινετε

* What is it to me to judge those outside? Do you not judge those among you? 

τους δε εξω ο θεος κρινει εξαρατε τον πονηρον εξ υμων αυτων

 * God will judge those outside. You will put the evil person out from among yourselves.

Τολμα τις υμων παργμα εχω προς τον ετερον κρινεσθαι επι των αδικων και ουχχι επι των αγιων

* Does anyone of you dare, having a matter against the other, to go to law before the unjust and not before the holy ones?

Η ουκ οιδατε οτι οι αγιοι τον κοσμον κρινουσιν και ει εν υμιν κρινεται ο κοσμος αναξιοι εστε κριτηριων ελαχιστων

* Or do you not know that the holy ones will judge the world? And if the world is judged by you, are you unworthy of the smallest judgments? 

Ουκ οιδατε οιτ αγγελους κρινουμεν μητιγε βιωτικα

* Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more than living things?

Βιωτικα μεν ουν κριτηρια εαν εχητε  τους εξουθενημενους εν τη εκκλησια τουτους καθιζετε

* If you have judgment of living things, which are lest esteemed in the community, do you set them up?

προς εντροπην υμιν λεγω ουτως ουκ ενι εν υμιν ουδεις σοφος ος δυνησεται διακριναι ανα μεσον του αδελφου αυτου

* For shame to you, I say. Is there no one among you, a wise man,  who is able to decide between his brothers?

αλλα αδελφος μετα αδελφου κρινεται και τουτο επι απιστων

* But brother goes to law with brother, and this before unbelievers?

Ηδη μεν ουν ολως ηττημα υμιν εστιν οτι κριματα εχετε μεθ εαυτων ια τι ουχι μαλλον αδικεισθε δια τι ουχι μαλλον αποστερεισθε

* Already indeed, this is altogether a defeat for you, that you have lawsuits have among one another. Why not suffer wrong instead? Why not be defrauded instead?

Αλλα υμεις αδικειτε και αποστερειτε και τουτο αδελφου

* But you do wrong and defraud—and these things to your brothers

η ουκ οιδατε οτι αδικοι θεου βασιλειαν ου κληρονομησουσιν μη πλανασθε ουτε πορνοι ουτε ειδολολατραι ουτε μοιχοι ουτε μαλακοι ουτε αρσενοκοιται 

* Or do you not know that the unrighteous ones will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be misled: neither the immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor cowards not men who disown their own offspring or cause other men to disown their offspring

ουτε κλεπται ουτε πλαονεκται ου μευθσοι ου λοιδοροι αρπαγες βασιλειαν θεου κλυρονομησουσιν

* Nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor slanderers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.

Και ταυτα τινες ητε αλλα απελουσασθε αλλα ηγιασθητε αλλα εδικαιωθητε εν τω ονοματι του κυριου Ιησου Χριστου και εν τω πνευματι του θεου ημων

* Some of you were these things. But you were washed, you were made holy, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.

Παντα μοι εξεστιν αλλ ου παντ συμφερει παντα μοι εξεστιν αλλ ουκ εγω εξουσιασθησομαι υπο τινος

* All things are lawful for me, but not all things do profit.  All things are lawful for me, but I will not be mastered by anything.

Τα βρωματα τη κοιλια και η κοιλια τοις βρωμασιν ο δε θεος και ταυτην και ταυτα 

καταργησει το δε σωμα ου τη πορνεια αλλα τω κυριω και ο κυριος τω σωματι

* Foods are for the belly and the belly is for foods, but God will bring to nought both of these things.  The body is not meant for immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.

The word used in this verse is πορνεια, but translating it as “sexual immorality” is a problem.  Paul has not used a metaphor relating sex to food, it does not make sense to do so now.  Moreover, the prohibited sexual relations in Deuteronomy and Leviticus all deal with a specific issue:  ownership of the progeny.  Paul does not outline that specific for his Corinthian audience, even though his opening reference is to a man who is involved with his father's wife.

Ο δε θεος και τον κυριον ξγειρεν και ημας εξεγερει δια της δθναμεως αυτου

 * And God raised both the Lord and us up by his power.

Ουλ οδατε οτι τα σοματα υμων μελη Χριστου εστιν αρας ουν τα μελη του χριστου ποιησω πορνης μελη μη γενοιτο

 * Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Having taken the members of Christ, shall I then make them members of a prostitute? May it never happen.

Η ουκ οιδατε οτι ο κολλωμενος τη πορνγ εν σομα εστιν εσονται γρ φησιν οι δυο εις σαρκα μιαν

 * Or do you not know that he who is joined to a prostitute is one body? For indeed he says, “two in one flesh.”

Ο δε κολλωμενος τω κυριω εν πνευμα εστιν

 * He who is joined to the Lord is one spirit.

Φευγετε τγν προνειαν παν αμαρτημα ο εαν ποιηση ανθρωπος εκτος του σοματος εστιν ο δε πορνευων εις το ιδιον σομα αμαρτανει

* Flee immorality. Every sin which a human might practice is outside the body, but the immoral human sins against his own body.

Η ουκ οιδατε οτι το σομα υμων ναος του εν υμι αγιου πνευματος εστινγ ου εχετε απο θεου και ουκ εστε εαυτων 

* Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the holy spirit in you, which you have from God? You are not your own,

ηγορασθητε γαρ τιμης δοξασατε δη τον θεον εν τω σοματι υμων και εν τω πνευματι υμων ατινα εστινγ του θεου

* You were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body and in your spirit which are God’s.
