< 1 Corinthians 6 >
1 DARE any of you, having a matter of controversy with another, sue for judgment before the unjust, and not before the saints?
How dare one of you havinge busines with another goo to lawe vnder the wicked and not rather vnder the sainctes?
2 Know ye not that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to be judges in the smallest matters?
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 Know ye not that we shall judge angels, much more things pertaining to this life?
knowe ye not how that we shall iudge the angles? How moche more maye we iudge thinges that partayne to ye lyfe?
4 If then ye have disputes about the things of this life, do you seat those on the bench who are least esteemed in the church?
If ye have iudgementes of worldely matters take them which are despised in ye congregacio and make them iudges.
5 I speak to you to shame you. Is it so, that there is not among you a wise man? Not so much as one who is able to judge between one brother and another?
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 brother goes to law with brother, and this before the unbelievers.
but one brother goeth to lawe with another: and that vnder the vnbelevers?
7 Now verily therefore there is altogether a fault among you, because ye have law-suits one with another. Why do ye not rather submit to the wrong? Why do ye not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded?
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 But ye do wrong and defraud, and that the brethren.
Naye ye youre selves do wronge and robbe: and that the brethren.
9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor sodomites,
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 nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
nether theves nether the coveteous nether dronkardes nether cursed speakers nether pillers shall inheret the kyngdome of God.
11 Yet such were some of you: but ye have been washed, but ye have been sanctified, but ye have been justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the spirit of our God.
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 things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient; all things are lawful for me, but I will not put myself under the power of any.
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 Meats are for the belly, and the belly for meats; but God will destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for whoredom, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.
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 And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will raise us up by his own power.
God hath raysed vp the Lorde and shall rayse vs vp by his power.
15 Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? Taking then the members of Christ, shall I make them members of an harlot? God forbid.
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 you not know that he that is joined to an harlot is one body with her? For they two, saith he, shall be “one flesh.”
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 joined to the Lord is one spirit.
But he that is ioyned vnto the Lorde is one sprete.
18 Flee whoredom. Every other sin which a man may commit is without the body; but he who committeth whoredom sinneth against his own body.
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 Do ye not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost, which is in you, which ye have from God, and ye are not your own?
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 have been bought with a price: glorify then God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.
For ye are dearly bought. Therfore glorifie ye God in youre bodyes and in youre spretes for they are goddes.
