Chap. VI. He rebuketh them for going to lavv before Iudges that vvere not Christians, 9 telling that extorsion (as many other offenses likevvise) is a mortal sinne. 12 And vvith diuers reasons he inueigheth against fornication, bidding also to flee al occasion thereof.

1   Dare any of you hauing a matter against an other, to be iudged before the vniust, and not before the saincts?

2   Or knovv you not that note the saincts shal iudge of the vvorld? And if the vvorld shal be iudged by you: are you vnvvorthie to iudge of the lest things?

3   Knovv you not that vve shal iudge Angels? hovv much more secular things?

4   If therfore you haue secular iudgements: the contemptible that are in the Church, set them to iudge.

5   I speake to your shame. So is there not among you any vvise man, that can iudge betvvene his brother?

6   but brother vvith brother 09Q1067contendeth in iudgement: and that before infidels?

7   Novv certes there is plainely09Q1068a fault in you, that you haue iudgements am&obar;g you. Vvhy do you not rather take vvrong? vvhy do you not rather suffer fraude?

8   But your selues doe vvrong and defraude: and that to the brethren.

9   Knovv you not that the vniust shal not possesse the kingdom of God? Do not erre, Neither fornicatours, nor note seruers of Idols, nor aduouterers, nor the effeminat, nor the liers vvith mankinde,

10   nor theeues, nor the couetous, nor drunkards, nor railers, nor extorsioners shal possesse the kingdom of God.

11   And these things certes you vvere: but you are vvashed, but you are sanctified, but you are iustified in the name of our Lord Iesvs Christ, and in the Spirit of our God.

12   Al things are lavvful for me, but al things are not expedient. Al things are lavvful for me, but I vvil be brought vnder the povver of none.

13   The meate to the belly, and

the belly to the meates: but God vvil destroy both it and them: and the body not to fornication, but to our Lord, and our Lord to the body.

14   But God both hath raised vp our Lord, and vvil raise vp vs also by his povver.

15   Knovv you not that your bodies are the members of Christ? Taking therfore the members of Christ, shal I make them the members of an harlot? God forbid.

16   Or knovv you not, that he which cleaueth to an harlot, is made one body? For they shal be, saith he, tvvo in one flesh. note

17   But he that cleaueth to our Lord, is one spirit.

18   Flee fornication. Euery sinne vvhatsoeuer a man doeth, is vvithout the body: but he that doth fornicate, sinneth note against his ovvne body.

19   Or knovv you not that your members are the temple of the holy Ghost vvhich is in you, vvhom you haue of God, and you are not your ovvne?

20   For you are bought vvith a great price. Glorifie and beare God in your body.
