| [1]Dare any one of you, having a matter with the other, go to be judged before the unrighteous, and not before the saints? |
[1]Dar any of you that hath a cause ayens another, be demed at wickid men, and not at hooli men? |
| [2]have ye not known that the saints shall judge the world? and if by you the world is judged, are ye unworthy of the smaller judgments? |
[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? |
| [3]have ye not known that we shall judge messengers? why not then the things of life? |
[3]Witen ye not, that we schulen deme aungels? hou myche more worldli thingis? |
| [4]of the things of life, indeed, then, if ye may have judgment, those despised in the assembly -- these cause ye to sit; |
[4]Therfor if ye han worldli domes, ordeyne ye tho contemptible men, that ben in the chirche, to deme. |
| [5]unto your shame I speak: so there is not among you one wise man, not even one, who shall be able to discern in the midst of his brethren! |
[5]Y seie to make you aschamed. So ther is not ony wise man, that may deme bitwixe a brothir and his brothir; |
| [6]but brother with brother doth go to be judged, and this before unbelievers! |
[6]but a brothir with brothir stryueth in dom, and that among vnfeithful men. |
| [7]Already, indeed, then, there is altogether a fault among you, that ye have judgments with one another; wherefore do ye not rather suffer injustice? wherefore be ye not rather defrauded? |
[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? |
| [8]but ye -- ye do injustice, and ye defraud, and these -- brethren! |
[8]But and ye doen wrong, and doen fraude, and that to britheren. |
| [9]have ye not known that the unrighteous the reign of God shall not inherit? be not led astray; neither whoremongers, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor sodomites, |
[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, |
| [10]nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, the reign of God shall inherit. |
[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. |
| [11]And certain of you were these! but ye were washed, but ye were sanctified, but ye were declared righteous, in the name of the Lord Jesus, and in the Spirit of our 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. |
| [12]All things are lawful to me, but all things are not profitable; all things are lawful to me, but I -- I will not be under authority by any; |
[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. |
| [13]the meats [are] for the belly, and the belly for the meats. And God both this and these shall make useless; and the body [is] not for whoredom, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body; |
[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. |
| [14]and God both the Lord did raise, and us will raise up through His power. |
[14]For God reiside the Lord, and schal reise vs bi his vertu. |
| [15]Have ye not known that your bodies are members of Christ? having taken, then, the members of the Christ, shall I make [them] members of an harlot? let it be not! |
[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. |
| [16]have ye not known that he who is joined to the harlot is one body? `for they shall be -- saith He -- the two for one flesh.' |
[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. |
| [17]And he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit; |
[17]And he that cleueth to the Lord, is o spirit. |
| [18]flee the whoredom; every sin -- whatever a man may commit -- is without the body, and he who is committing whoredom, against his own body doth sin. |
[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. |
| [19]Have ye not known that your body is a sanctuary of the Holy Spirit in you, which ye have from God? and ye are not your own, |
[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? |
| [20]for ye were bought with a price; glorify, then, God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's. |
[20]For ye ben bouyt with greet prijs. Glorifie ye, and bere ye God in youre bodi. |
