1 Dare any of you, having a matter against the other, go to law before the unrighteous and not before the sanctified?

2 Or know ye not that the sanctified will judge the world? And if the world is judged by you, are ye unworthy of very small legal disputes?

3 Know ye not that we will judge heavenly agents? Then why not mundane things?

4 Indeed therefore whenever ye have mundane legal disputes, men who are disdained by the church, these ye seat to judge.

5 I speak shame about you. So there is not among you not even one wise man who will be able to arbitrate between his brother?

6 But brother goes to law against brother, and this before unbelievers?

7 Now therefore it is indeed altogether a defeat for you because ye have legal disputes against yourselves. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be defrauded?

8 Instead ye do wrong, and defraud, and these things to brothers.

9 Or know ye not that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not led astray. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate men, nor homosexuals,

10 nor greedy men, nor thieves, nor drunkards, nor the slanderous, nor the predatory will inherit the kingdom of God.

11 And some of you were these things, but ye were washed, but ye were sanctified, but ye were made righteous in the name of the Lord Jesus, and in the Spirit of our God.

12 All things are lawful for me, but not all things are expedient. All things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under control by anything.

13 The foods are for the belly and the belly for foods, but God will abolish both this and these things. But the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.

14 And God both raised up the Lord and will raise us up through his power.

15 Know ye not that your bodies are body-parts of Christ? Therefore, having taken the body-parts of the Christ, should I make them body-parts of a harlot? May it not happen!

16 Or know ye not that he who is joined to a harlot is one body? For, The two, he says, will be in one flesh.

17 But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit.

18 Flee fornication. Every sin, whatever a man may do, is outside the body, but he who fornicates sins against his own body.

19 Or know ye not that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit in you, which ye have from God? And ye are not your own,

20 for ye were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and your spirit, which is of God.

1 How dare one of you havinge busines with another goo to lawe vnder the wicked and not rather vnder the sainctes?

2 Do ye not know that the sainctes shall iudge the worlde? If the worlde shalbe iudged by you: are ye not good ynough to iudge smale trifles:

3 knowe ye not how that we shall iudge the angles? How moche more maye we iudge thinges that partayne to ye lyfe?

4 If ye have iudgementes of worldely matters take them which are despised in ye congregacio and make them iudges.

5 This I saye to youre shame. Is ther vtterly no wyse man amoge you? What not one at all yt can iudge bitwene brother and brother

6 but one brother goeth to lawe with another: and that vnder the vnbelevers?

7 Now therfore ther is vtterly a faute amonge you because ye goo to lawe one with another. Why rather suffer ye not wronge? why rather suffre ye not youre selves to be robbed?

8 Naye ye youre selves do wronge and robbe: and that the brethren.

9 Do ye not remember how that the vnrighteous shall not inheret the kyngdome of God? Be not deceaved. For nether fornicators nether worshyppers of ymages nether whormongers nether weaklinges nether abusars of them selves with the mankynde

10 nether theves nether the coveteous nether dronkardes nether cursed speakers nether pillers shall inheret the kyngdome of God.

11 And soche ware ye verely: but ye are wesshed: ye are sanctified: ye are iustified by the name of the Lorde Iesus and by the sprete of oure God.

12 All thinges are lawfull vnto me: but all thinges are not proffitable. I maye do all thinges: but I will be brought vnder no mans power.

13 Meates are ordeyned for the belly and the belly for meates: but God shall destroy bothe it and them. Let not the body be applied vnto fornicacion but vnto the Lorde and the Lorde vnto the body.

14 God hath raysed vp the Lorde and shall rayse vs vp by his power.

15 Ether remember ye not that youre bodyes are the members of Christ? Shall I now take the members of Christ and make them the members of an harlot? God forbyd.

16 Do ye not vnderstonde that he which coupleth him selfe with an harlot is become one body? For two (saith he) shalbe one flesshe.

17 But he that is ioyned vnto the Lorde is one sprete.

18 Fle fornicacion. All synnes that a man dothe are with out ye body. But he yt is a fornicator synneth agaynst his awne body.

19 Ether knowe ye not how that youre bodyes are the temple of ye holy goost which is in you who ye have of God and how that ye are not youre awne?

20 For ye are dearly bought. Therfore glorifie ye God in youre bodyes and in youre spretes for they are goddes.
