CHAP. VI.

1 He rebuketh them for going tolaw together before the Heathen. 7 Christians ought rather to suffer. 12 He reproueth the abusing of Christian libertie, 15 And she∣weth that we ought to serue God purely bothe in bodie, and in soule.

1 DAre anie of you, hauing busines against another, be iudged vnder“ 1.1 thea 1.2 vniust, and not vnder the Saintes?

2 * Do ye not knowe, that the Saintes shal iud* 1.3 ge the worlde? If the worlde then shalbe iud ged by you, are ye vnworthie to iudge the smallest matters?

3 Knowe ye not that we shal iudge theb 1.4 An∣gels? how muche more things that perteine to this life?

4 If then ye haue iudgements of things pertei∣ning to this life,c 1.5 set vp them which ared 1.6 least estemed in the Church.

5 I speake it to your shame. Is it so that there is not a wise man among you? no not one, that can iudge betwene his brethren?

6 But a brother goeth to lawe with a brother, aud that vnder the infideles.

7 Now therefore there is vtterly“ 1.7 a faute amōg you, because ye go to law one with another:* 1.8 why rather suffer ye not wrong? why rather* 1.9 susteine ye not harme?* 1.10

8 * Nay, ye your seluese 1.11 do wrong, & do harme* 1.12 and that to your brethren.

9 Knowe ye not that the vnrighteous shal not inherite the kingdome of God? Be not decei∣ued: * nether fornicatours, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor wantons, nor bouggerers,

10 Nor theues, nor couetous, nor drunkards, nor railers, nor extorcioners shal inherite the kingdome of God.* 1.13 * 1.14

11 And suche were * some of you: but ye are* 1.15 washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are iusti∣fied* 1.16 in the Name of the Lord Iesus, & by the* 1.17 Spirit of our God.* 1.18 * 1.19

12 ¶ * Allf 1.20 things are lawful vnto me: but all things are not profitable. I may do all things but I wil not be broght vnderg 1.21 the power of anie thing.

13 Meates (are ordeined) for the bellie, and the bellie for the meates: but God shal destroie bothe it, ād them. Now the bodie (is) not forh 1.22 fornication, but for thei 1.23 Lord, ād the Lord for the bodie.

14 And God hathe also raised vp the Lord, and * shal raise vs vp by his power.

15 Knowe ye not, that your bodies are the mē∣bres of Christ? shal I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of ank 1.24 harlot? God forbid.

16 Do ye not knowe, that he which coupleth him self with an harlot, is one bodie?* 1.25 for two, saith he, shalbe one flesh.

17 But he that is ioyned vnto the Lord, is one spirit.

18 Flee fornicatiō: euerie sinne that a mā doeth is without the bodie: but he that cōmitteth fornicatiō, sinneth against hisl 1.26 owne bodie.* 1.27

19 Know ye not, that * your bodie is the tēple* 1.28 * 1.29

of the holie Gost, (which is) in you, whome ye haue of God? and ye are not your owne.

20 * For ye are bought for a price: therefore glo rifie God in your bodie, and in your spirit: for they are Gods.
