| [1]Dar any of you that hath a cause ayens another, be demed at wickid men, and not at hooli men? |
[1]Dare any of you, having business against another, be judged under the unjust, and not under the Saints? |
| [2]Whether ye witen not, that seyntis schulen deme of this world? And if the world schal be demed bi you, be ye vnworthi to deme of the leste thingis? |
[2]Do ye not know, that the Saints shall judge the world? If the world then shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters? |
| [3]Witen ye not, that we schulen deme aungels? hou myche more worldli thingis? |
[3]Know ye not that we shall judge the Angels? how much more things that pertain to this life? |
| [4]Therfor if ye han worldli domes, ordeyne ye tho contemptible men, that ben in the chirche, to deme. |
[4]If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set up them which are least esteemed in the Church. |
| [5]Y seie to make you aschamed. So ther is not ony wise man, that may deme bitwixe a brothir and his brothir; |
[5]I speak it to your shame. Is it so that there is not a wise man among you? no not one, that can judge between his brethren? |
| [6]but a brothir with brothir stryueth in dom, and that among vnfeithful men. |
[6]But a brother goeth to law with a brother, and that under the infidels. |
| [7]And now trespas is algatis in you, for ye han domes among you. Whi rather take ye no wrong? whi rather suffre ye not disseit? |
[7]Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law one with another: why rather suffer ye not wrong? why rather sustain ye not harm? |
| [8]But and ye doen wrong, and doen fraude, and that to britheren. |
[8]Nay, ye yourselves do wrong, and do harm, and that to your brethren. |
| [9]Whether ye witen not, that wickid men schulen not welde the kyngdom of God? Nyle ye erre; nethir letchours, nether men that seruen mawmetis, nether auouteris, |
[9]Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor wantons, nor buggerers, |
| [10]nether letchouris ayen kynde, nether thei that doon letcheri with men, nether theues, nether auerouse men, nethir `ful of drunkenesse, nether curseris, nether rauenours, schulen welde the kyngdom of God. |
[10]Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor railers, nor extortioners shall inherit the kingdom of God. |
| [11]And ye weren sum tyme these thingis; but ye ben waischun, but ye ben halewid, but ye ben iustefied in the name of oure Lord Jhesu Crist, and in the spirit of oure God. |
[11]And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the Name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God. |
| [12]Alle thingis ben leeueful to me, but not alle thingis ben spedeful. Alle thingis ben leeueful to me, but Y schal not be brouyt doun vndur ony mannus power. |
[12]Â All things are lawful unto me: but all things are not profitable. I may do all things, but I will not be brought under the power of any thing. |
| [13]Mete to the wombe, and the wombe to metis; and God schal distruye bothe this and that. And the bodi not to fornycacioun, but to the Lord, and the Lord to the bodi. |
[13]Meats are ordained for the belly, and the belly for the meats: but God shall destroy both it, and them. Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body. |
| [14]For God reiside the Lord, and schal reise vs bi his vertu. |
[14]And God hath also raised up the Lord, and shall raise us up by his power. |
| [15]Witen ye not, that youre bodies ben membris of Crist? Schal Y thanne take the membris of Crist, and schal Y make the membris of an hoore? God forbede. |
[15]Know ye not, that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid. |
| [16]Whether ye witen not, that he that cleueth to an hoore, is maad o bodi? For he seith, Ther schulen be tweyne in o fleisch. |
[16]Do ye not know, that he which coupleth himself with an harlot, is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh. |
| [17]And he that cleueth to the Lord, is o spirit. |
[17]But he that is joined unto the Lord, is one spirit. |
| [18]Fle ye fornycacioun; al synne what euere synne a man doith, is with out the bodi; but he that doith fornycacioun, synneth ayens his bodi. |
[18]Flee fornication: every sin that a man doeth, is without the body: but he that committeth fornication, sinneth against his own body. |
| [19]Whether ye witen not, that youre membris ben the temple of the Hooli Goost, that is in you, whom ye han of God, and ye ben not youre owne? |
[19]Know ye not, that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost, which is in you, whom ye have of God? And ye are not your own. |
| [20]For ye ben bouyt with greet prijs. Glorifie ye, and bere ye God in youre bodi. |
[20]For ye are bought for a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit: for they are God's. |
