CAP. III.
And I,
1 britheren, my&yogh;te not speke to
&yogh;ou as to spiritual men, but as to fleischli;
as to litile children in Crist,
2 I &yogh;af to
&yogh;ou mylk drynke, not mete; sothli &yogh;e
my&yogh;ten not &yogh;it vndirstonde, but nether
`now sothli &yogh;e mown, for &yogh;it &yogh;e ben
fleischly.
3 Whanne enuye and stryf is among
&yogh;ou, wher &yogh;e ben not fleischli, and
aftir man &yogh;e gon?
4 For whanne summe
seith, I sothli am of Poul, another forsoth,
I am of Apollo, wher &yogh;e ben not men?
What therfore is Apollo, what forsoth
Poul?
5 Thei ben mynistris, `or sernauntis,
of him, to whom &yogh;e han bileuyd;
and to ech man as God hath &yogh;ouun.
I plauntide,
6 Apollo watride, `or moystide,
but God &yogh;af encresynge.
7 `And so neither
he that plauntith is ony thing, neither he
that moystith, but God that &yogh;yueth encresynge.
Forsoth he that plauntith,
8 and
he that moystith, ben oo thing; sothli ech
schal take his propre hyre, after his traueil.
For we ben the helperis of God;
9
&yogh;e ben the erthe tilyinge of God, &yogh;e ben
the byldinge of God.
10 Aftir the grace of
God that is &yogh;ouun to me, as a wys carpenter
I sette the fundement; forsothe
another bildeth aboue. Sothli ech man
se, hou `and what thingis he byldeth
-- --
vpon.
11 Sothli no man may sette another
foundement, `bi sydis that that is sett, the
which is Crist Jhesus.
12 Forsoth if eny
man bylde ouer vpon this foundement,
gold, siluer, precyous stoones, stickis, hey,
stuble,
13 euery mannis work schal be open,
the day of the Lord schal declare; for
`ech mannis work schal be schewid in
fyer, `what maner it is, the fier schal
proue.
14 If the werk of ony man schal
dwelle, the which he byldide vpon, he
schal receyue mede.
15 If eny mannis work
schal brenne, it schal suffre peyringe;
forsoth he schal be saaf, so nethelees as
by fyer.
16 Wite &yogh;e not, for &yogh;e ben the
temple of God, and the spirit of God
dwellith in &yogh;ou?
17 Forsoth if ony `schal
defoule the temple of God, God schal disparple
him, `or distroye; forsoth the
temple of God is hooly, the which &yogh;e
ben.
18 No man disseyue him silf. If eny
man a mong &yogh;ou is seyn for to be wyse
in this world, be he maad a fool, that
he be wyse.
19 Forsoth the wysdom of
this world is foly anentis God; forsoth it
is writun, I schal catche wyse men in her
fell wysdom,
20 `or sutil gyle; and eft,
The Lord `hath knowyn the thou&yogh;tis of
wyse men, for thei ben veyn.
21 `And so
no man glorie in men.
22 Forsoth alle
thingis ben &yogh;oure, either Poul, either
Apollo, eithir Cephas, `that is, Petre,
eithir the world, either lyf, eithir deeth,
either thingis present, eithir thingis to
comynge; forsothe alle thingis ben &yogh;oure,
&yogh;e forsoth of Crist,
23 Crist sotheli of God.
