¹ Dare any of you, hauing businesse against an other, be iudged vnder the vniust, and not vnder the Saintes?² Doe ye not knowe, that the Saintes shall iudge the worlde? If the worlde then shalbe iudged by you, are ye vnworthie to iudge the smallest matters?³ Knowe ye not that we shall iudge the Angels? howe much more, things that perteine to this life?⁴ If then ye haue iudgements of things perteining to this life, set vp them which are least esteemed 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 betweene his brethren?⁶ But a brother goeth to law with a brother, and that vnder the infidels.⁷ Nowe therefore there is altogether infirmitie in you, in that yee goe to lawe one with another: why rather suffer ye not wrong? why rather susteine yee not harme?⁸ Nay, yee your selues doe wrong, and doe harme, and that to your brethren.

⁹ Knowe yee not that the vnrighteous shall not inherite the kingdome of God? Be not deceiued: neither fornicatours, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor wantons, nor buggerers,¹⁰ Nor theeues, nor couetous, nor drunkards, nor railers, nor extortioners shall inherite the kingdome of God.¹¹ And such were some of you: but yee are washed, but yee are sanctified, but yee are iustified in the Name of the Lorde Iesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

¹² All thinges are lawfull vnto mee, but all thinges are not profitable. I may doe all things, but I will not be brought vnder the power of any thing.¹³ Meates are ordeined for the bellie, & the belly for the meates: but God shall destroy both it, and them. Nowe the bodie is not for fornication, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the bodie.¹⁴ And God hath also raised vp the Lord, and shall raise vs vp by his power.¹⁵ Knowe yee not, that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid.¹⁶ Doe ye not knowe, that he which coupleth himselfe with an harlot, is one body? for two, sayeth he, shalbe one flesh.¹⁷ But hee that is ioyned vnto the Lorde, is one spirite.¹⁸ Flee fornication: euery sinne that a man doeth, is without the bodie: but hee that committeth fornication, sinneth against his owne bodie.¹⁹ Knowe yee not, that your body is the temple of the holy Ghost, which is in you, whom ye haue of God? and yee are not your owne.²⁰ For yee are bought for a price: therefore glorifie God in your bodie, and in your spirit: for they are Gods.
