A   And I coulde not speake vnto you brethr&ebar; as vnto spretuall: but as vnto carnall / even as it were vnto babes in Christ. I gave you mylke to drinke ∧ not meate. For ye then were not stronge / no nether yet are. For ye are yet carnall. As longe verely as ther is am&obar;ge you envy&ibar;ge / stryfe / ∧ dissenci&obar;: are ye not carnall / ∧ walke after þe; manner of m&ebar;? As l&obar;ge as one sayth / I holde of Paul / ∧ another / I am of Apollo / are ye not carnall? What is Paul? What thinge is Apollo? Only miministers ^note are they by wh&obar; ye beleved / even as the Lorde gave every m&abar; grace. B   I have planted: Apollo watred: but god gave increace.

So then / nether is he that planteth eny thinge / nether he þt; 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 laboure. ^noteWe are goddis labourers / ye are goddis husbandrye / ye are goddis byldynge. Accordynge to the grace of god geven vnto me / as a wyse bylder have I layde the foundaci&obar; And another bylt ther&obar; But let every m&abar; take hede how he bildeth ap&obar;. C    ^noteFor other foundacion can no man laye / then þt; 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. ^noteFor the daye shall declare it / and it shalbe shewed in fyre. And þe; fyre shall trye euery mannes worke / what it is. Yf eny mannes worke þt; he hath bylt apon / byde / he shall receave a rewarde. If eny m&abar;nes worke burne he shall suffre losse: but he shalbe safe him selfe: neverthelesse yet as it were thorow fyre.

D    ^note&cross2; Are ye not ware that ye are the temple of 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. ^noteLet no man deceave him silfe. Yf eny man seme wyse amonge you / let him be a fole in this worlde / that he maye be wyse. ^noteFor þe; wisdome of this worlde is folysshnes with god. For it is writt&ebar;: he compaseth the wyse in their craftynes. And

agayne / ^note God knoweth the thoughtes of the wyse that they be vayne. Therfore let no m&abar; reioyce in men. For all thinges are youres / whether it be Paul / other Apollo / other Cephas: whether it be þe; worlde / other lyfe / other deeth / whether they be present thing&es; or thinges to come: all are youres / ∧ ye are Christes / and Christ is goddis. &cross3;
