¶ The .iii. Chapter.

ANd I coulde not speake vnto you bre∣thrē as vnto spretuall: but as vnto car∣nall / even [ A] as it were vnto babes in Ch∣rist. I gave you myl••e to drinke & not meate. For ye then were not stronge / no nether yet a¦re. For ye are yet carnall. As longe verely as ther is amōge you envy••ge / stryfe / & dissenciō: are ye not carnall / & walke after y^e manner of mē? As lōge as one sayth / I holde of Paul / & another / I am of Apollo / are ye not carnall? What is Paul? What thinge is Apollo? On¦ly miministers * 1.1 are they by whō ye beleved / [ B] even as the Lorde gave every mā grace. I ha∣ve planted: Apollo watred: but god gave in∣creace.

So then / nether is he that planteth eny¦thinge / nether he y^• watreth: but god which gave the increace.

He that planteth and he that watreth / are nether better then the other. Every man yet shall receave his rewarde accordynge to his* 1.2 laboure. We are goddis labourers / ye are god∣dis husbandrye / ye are goddis byldynge. Ac∣cordynge to the grace of god geven vnto me / as a wyse bylder have I layde the foundaciō And another bylt therō. But let every mā ta∣ke* 1.3 hede how he bildeth apō. For other founda¦cion [ C] can no man laye / then y^t which is layde / which is Iesus Christ. Yf eny man bilde on this foundacion / golde / silver / precious stones tymber / haye or stoble: every mannes worke shall appere. For the daye shall declare it / and* 1.4 it shalbe shewed in fyre. And y^e fyre shall trye euery mannes worke / what it is. Yf eny man¦nes worke y^t he hath bylt apon / byde / he shall receave a rewarde. If eny mānes worke burne he shall suffre losse: but he shalbe safe him sel¦fe: neverthelesse yet as it were thorow fyre. [ D]

✚ Are ye not ware that ye are the temple of* 1.5 god / and how that the sprete of god dwelleth in you? Yf eny man defyle the temple of god him shall god destroye. For the temple of god is holy / which temple ye are. Let no man dece¦ave* 1.6 him silfe. Yf eny man seme wyse amon∣ge you / let him be a fole in this worlde ▪ that he maye be wyse. For y^• wisdome of this worl¦de* 1.7 is folysshnes with god. For it is writtē: he compaseth the wyse in their craftynes. And

agayne / God knoweth the thoughtes of the* 1.8 wyse that they be vayne. Therfore let no mā reioyce in men. For all thinges are youres / whether it be Paul / other Apollo / other Ce∣phas: whether it be y^e worlde / other lyfe / other deeth / whether they be present thing{is} or thin¦ges to come: all are youres / & ye are Christes / and Christ is goddis. ⊢
