¶ The .vj. Chapter. ¶ He rebuketh them for goynge to lawe together before the Heath&ebar;. and reproueth theyr vnclennesse.

A   Darre one of you hauynge busynes wyth another, go to lawe vnder the wycked, ∧ not rather vnder þe; saynctes? noteDo ye not knowe, that the saynctes shall iudge þe; worlde? If the worlde shalbe iudged by you: are ye not good inough to iudge small trifles? knowe ye not, howe that we shall iudge the angels? Howe moche more, maye we iudge thinges that pertayne

to the lyfe? If ye haue iudgem&ebar;tes of worldely matters, take then whych are despysed in the congregacy&obar;, and make them iudges. B   This I saye to youre shame. Is ther vtterly no wyse man amonge you? What not one at all, that can iudge betwene brother and brother, but one brother goeth to lawe &wt; another: and that vnder the vnbeleuers?

Nowe therfore, there is vtterly a faute am&obar;ge you, because ye go to lawe one wyth another. Why rather suffer ye not wronge? why rather suffre ye not your selues to haue harme? naye, ye youre selues do wr&obar;ge, and robbe: ∧ that the brethr&ebar;. Do ye not knowe, how þt; the vnryghteous shall not inheret þe; kyngdome of God? Be not deceaued. For note nether fornicatours, nether worshyppers of ymages, nether aduoutrers, nether weaklynges, nether abusers of th&ebar; selues wyth m&abar;kynde, nether theues, nether couetouse, nether dronkardes, nether cursed speakers, nether pyllers, shall inheret the kyngdome of God. C   And soch were some of you, but ye are wasshed: but ye are sanctifyed: but ye are iustifyed by the name of the Lorde Iesus, ∧ by the sprete of oure God.

I maye do all thynges, but note all thynges are not profytable. I maye do all thynges: but I will be brought vnder no m&abar;s power. Meates are ordeyned for the belly, ∧ þe; belly for meates: but God shall destroye both it and th&ebar;. Let not the body be applyed vnto fornicacyon, but vnto the Lorde, and the Lorde vnto the body. God hath raysed vp þe; Lorde, and shall rayse vs vp by hys power.

D   &cross2; note Ether knowe ye not, þt; youre bodyes are þe; m&ebar;bres of Christ? shall I nowe take þe; members of Christ, and make them the m&ebar;bers of an harlot? God forbyd. Do ye not knowe, that he whych coupleth hym selfe &wt; an harlot, is become one body. noteFor two (sayth he) shalbe one flesshe. But he that is ioyned vnto the Lorde is one sprete.

Fle fornicacion. Euery synne þt; a m&abar; doth, is without the body. But he that is a fornicator, synneth against his awne body. Ether knowe ye not, how þt; youre bodyes are þe; t&ebar;ple of þe; holy ghost, which dwelleth in you, whom ye haue of God, and how that ye are not youre awne? For ye are dearly bought. Therfore glorifye God in youre bodyes, &abar;d in youre spretes, which are Goddes. &cross3;
