\par }\ChapOne{CHAPTER 1}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Paul, called
{\SLS{(an)}} apostle of Jesus Christ, by the will of God, and Sosthenes,
{\SLS{(a)}} brother,


\par }{\PP \VS{2}to the church of God that is at Corinth, to them that be hallowed in Christ Jesus, and called saints,
{\SLS{(or to those who be consecrated in the Messiah Jesus, and be called God’s people)}}, with all that inwardly call the name of our Lord Jesus Christ
{\ADD{[or with all that in-call the name of our Lord Jesus Christ]}}, in each place of them and of ours
{\SLS{(or in every place of theirs and of ours)}},


\par }{\PP \VS{3}grace
{\SLS{(be)}} to you and
{\SLS{(the)}} peace of God, our Father, and of the Lord Jesus Christ.


\par }{\PP \VS{4}I do thankings to my God
{\SLS{(for)}}evermore for you, in the grace of God that is given to you in Christ Jesus.
{\SLS{(I give thanks always to my God for you, for the grace of God which is given to you in the Messiah Jesus.)}}


\par }{\PP \VS{5}For in all things ye be made rich in him, in each word, and in each cunning,
{\SLS{(or knowing)}},
{\ADD{[or science]}},
{\SLS{(or in all knowledge)}},


\par }{\PP \VS{6}as the witnessing of Christ is confirmed in you;
{\SLS{(as the testimony of the Messiah is confirmed in you;)}}


\par }{\PP \VS{7}so that nothing fail to you in any grace
{\SLS{(or of any blessing)}}, that abide the showing
{\ADD{[or the revelation]}} of our Lord Jesus Christ;


\par }{\PP \VS{8}which also shall confirm you into the end without crime,
{\ADD{[or great sin]}}, in the day of the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.


\par }{\PP \VS{9}A true God
{\ADD{[or Forsooth God is true]}}, by whom ye be called into the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.


\par }{\PP \VS{10}But, brethren, I beseech you, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all say the same thing, and that dissensions,
{\ADD{[or schisms, or divisions, or discords]}}, be not among you; but be ye perfect in the same wit,
{\SLS{(or in the same thinking, or of the same mind)}}, and in the same cunning,
{\SLS{(or the same knowing, or with the same knowledge)}}.


\par }{\PP \VS{11}For, my brethren, it is told to me of them that be at Chloe’s, that strives
{\SLS{(or arguments)}} be among you.


\par }{\PP \VS{12}And I say that, that each of you saith, For I am of Paul, and I
{\EM{am}} of Apollos, and I
{\EM{am}} of Cephas,
{\ADD{[that is, Peter]}}, but I
{\EM{am}} of Christ.


\par }{\PP \VS{13}Whether Christ is parted?
{\SLS{(or Is the Messiah divided?)}} whether Paul was crucified for you, either ye be baptized in the name of Paul?


\par }{\PP \VS{14}I do thankings to my God
{\SLS{(or I give thanks to my God)}}, that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius;


\par }{\PP \VS{15}lest any man say, that ye be baptized in my name.


\par }{\PP \VS{16}And I baptized also the house of Stephanas, but I know not, that I baptized any other.


\par }{\PP \VS{17}For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel
{\ADD{[or to evangelize]}}; not in
{\SLS{(the)}} wisdom of word{\SLS{(s)}}, that the cross of Christ be not voided away
{\SLS{(or so that the cross of the Messiah be made of no consequence)}}.


\par }{\PP \VS{18}For the word of the cross is folly to them that perish; but to them that be made safe, that is to say, to us, it is the virtue of God.
{\SLS{(For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who perish; but for those who be saved, that is to say, for us, it is the power of God.)}}


\par }{\PP \VS{19}For it is written, I shall destroy the wisdom of wise men, and I shall reprove the prudence of prudent men.


\par }{\PP \VS{20}Where is the wise man? where is the wise lawyer?
{\ADD{[or where is the writer, or the man of
{\SLS{(the)}} law?]}} where is the purchaser of this world? Whether God hath not made the wisdom of this world fond
{\ADD{[or foolish]}}?


\par }{\PP \VS{21}For the world, in
{\SLS{(the)}} wisdom of God, knew not God by wisdom,
{\ADD{[or For why for in the wisdom of God, the world knew not God by wisdom]}}, it pleased to God, by
{\ADD{[the]}} folly of preaching, to make them safe that believed,
{\SLS{(or it pleased God, by the foolishness of preaching, to save those who believed)}}.


\par }{\PP \VS{22}For Jews seek signs, and Greeks seek wisdom;


\par }{\PP \VS{23}but we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews
{\SLS{(a)}} cause of stumbling, and to heathen men folly;
{\SLS{(but we preach the crucified Messiah, to the Jews a stumbling block, and to the Gentiles foolishness;)}}


\par }{\PP \VS{24}but to those Jews and Greeks that be called,
{\EM{we preach}} Christ the virtue of God, and the wisdom of God.
{\SLS{(but to those Jews and Greeks who be called,
{\EM{we preach}} the Messiah to be the power of God, and the wisdom of God.)}}


\par }{\PP \VS{25}For that that is
{\SLS{(a)}} folly thing of God, is wiser than men; and that that is the feeble,
{\ADD{[or
{\SLS{(the)}} frail]}}, thing of God, is stronger than men.
{\SLS{(For that which is a foolish thing of God, is wiser than men; and that which is the frail or the weak thing of God, is stronger than men.)}}


\par }{\PP \VS{26}But, brethren, see ye your calling,
{\SLS{(or But, brothers, see to your calling)}}; for not many
{\SLS{(of you be)}} wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble.


\par }{\PP \VS{27}But God chose those things that be fond
{\ADD{[or that be foolish]}} of the world, to confound wise men; and God chose the feeble,
{\ADD{[or
{\SLS{(the)}} frail]}}, things of the world, to confound the strong things;
{\SLS{(But God chose those things that be foolish in the world, to shame the wise; and God chose the frail or the weak things of the world, to shame the strong;)}}


\par }{\PP \VS{28}and God chose the unnoble things and
{\SLS{(the)}} despisable things of the world, and those things that be not, to destroy those things that be;


\par }{\PP \VS{29}that each man have not glory in his sight.
{\SLS{(so that no one can boast in the presence of God or before God.)}}


\par }{\PP \VS{30}But of him ye be in Christ Jesus, which is made of God to us wisdom, and rightwiseness, and holiness, and again-buying;
{\SLS{(For ye be in the Messiah Jesus, whom God made to be for us our wisdom, and righteousness, and holiness, and redemption;)}}


\par }{\PP \VS{31}that, as it is written, He that glorieth, have glory in the Lord.
{\SLS{(so that, as it is written, He who boasteth, boast of the Lord.)}}




\par }\Chap{CHAPTER 2}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not in the highness of word{\SLS{(s)}}, either of wisdom, telling,
{\ADD{[or showing]}}, to you the witnessing of Christ
{\SLS{(or telling the testimony of the Messiah)}}.


\par }{\PP \VS{2}For I deemed not me to know anything among you, but Christ Jesus, and him crucified.
{\SLS{(For I judged, or I determined, that when I was among you, I did not know anything, except the Messiah Jesus, and his crucifixion.)}}


\par }{\PP \VS{3}And I in sickness, and dread, and in much trembling, was among you
{\ADD{[or was with you]}};
{\SLS{(And I in frailty or weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling, was with you;)}}


\par }{\PP \VS{4}and my word{\SLS{(s)}} and my preaching was not in
{\SLS{(or with)}} subtly stirring
{\ADD{[or persuadable]}} words of man’s wisdom, but in
{\SLS{(the)}} showing of
{\SLS{(the)}} Spirit and of virtue
{\SLS{(or and of the power)}};


\par }{\PP \VS{5}{\SLS{(so)}} that your faith be not in the wisdom of men, but in the virtue of God
{\SLS{(or but in the power of God)}}.


\par }{\PP \VS{6}For we speak wisdom among perfect men, but not
{\SLS{(the)}} wisdom of this world, neither of
{\SLS{(the)}} princes of this world, that be destroyed,
{\SLS{(or nor of the rulers of this world, who be destroyed)}};


\par }{\PP \VS{7}but we speak the wisdom of God in mystery, which wisdom is hid; which
{\EM{wisdom}} God before-ordained before
{\SLS{(the)}} worlds into our glory,
{\SLS{(but we speak God’s secret wisdom, which wisdom is hidden; which{\EM{wisdom}} God before-ordained before the making or the creation of the world for our glory,)}}


\par }{\PP \VS{8}which none of the princes of this world knew; for if they had known
{\SLS{(it)}}, they should never have crucified the Lord of glory.
{\SLS{(which none of the rulers of this world knew; for if they had known it, they would never have crucified the Lord of glory.)}}


\par }{\PP \VS{9}But as it is written, That eye saw not, nor ear heard, neither it ascended into the heart of man, what things God arrayed
{\ADD{[or made ready before]}} to them that love him
{\SLS{(or what things God hath prepared for those who love him)}};


\par }{\PP \VS{10}but God showed to us by his Spirit. For why the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.


\par }{\PP \VS{11}And who of men knoweth, what things be of man, but the spirit of man that is in him? So what things be of God, no man knoweth, but the Spirit of God.


\par }{\PP \VS{12}And we have not received the spirit of this world, but the Spirit that is of God, that we know what things be given to us of God.
{\SLS{(And we have not received the spirit of this world, but the Spirit that is from God, so that we know what things be given to us from God.)}}


\par }{\PP \VS{13}Which things we speak also, not in wise
{\ADD{[or in taught]}} words of man’s wisdom, but in the doctrine of the Spirit, and make a likeness
{\ADD{[or a comparison]}} of spiritual things to ghostly men
{\SLS{(or and make a comparison of spiritual things for spiritual men)}}.


\par }{\PP \VS{14}For a beastly man perceiveth not those things that be of the Spirit of God; for it is folly to him, and he may not understand, for it is examined,
{\ADD{[or assayed]}}, ghostly.
{\SLS{(For a fleshly man perceiveth not those things that be of God’s Spirit; for it is foolishness to him, and he cannot understand, for it is examined spiritually.)}}


\par }{\PP \VS{15}But a spiritual man deemeth
{\SLS{(or judgeth)}} all things, and he is deemed of
{\SLS{(or by)}} no man.


\par }{\PP \VS{16}As it is written, And who knew the wit of the Lord, or who taught him? And we have the wit of Christ.
{\SLS{(As it is written, And who knew the mind, or the thoughts, of the Lord, or who taught him? And we have the mind of the Messiah.)}}




\par }\Chap{CHAPTER 3}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And I, brethren, might not speak to you as to spiritual men, but as to fleshly
{\EM{men}}; as to little children in Christ,


\par }{\PP \VS{2}I gave to you milk to drink, not meat
{\SLS{(or solid food)}}; for ye might not yet
{\EM{understand}}, neither ye may now
{\SLS{(or nor can ye now)}},


\par }{\PP \VS{3}for yet ye be fleshly. For while envy and strife is among you, whether ye be not fleshly, and ye go after man?


\par }{\PP \VS{4}For when some saith, I am of Paul, and another, But I am of Apollos, whether ye be not
{\ADD{[fleshly]}} men?


\par }{\PP \VS{5}What therefore is Apollos, and what Paul? They be ministers
{\SLS{(or servants)}} of him, to whom ye have believed; and to each man as God hath given.


\par }{\PP \VS{6}I planted, Apollos moisted
{\SLS{(or Apollos watered)}}, but God gave increasing.


\par }{\PP \VS{7}Therefore neither he that planteth is anything, neither he that moisteth
{\SLS{(or nor he who watereth)}}, but God that giveth increasing.


\par }{\PP \VS{8}And he that planteth, and he that moisteth, be one; and each shall take his own meed, after his travail.
{\SLS{(And he who planteth, and he who watereth, be one; and each shall receive his own reward, according to his labour.)}}


\par }{\PP \VS{9}For we be the helpers of God; ye be the earth-tilling of God, ye be the building of God.


\par }{\PP \VS{10}After the grace of God that is given to me, as a wise master carpenter I setted the foundament,
{\SLS{(or By the grace of God that is given to me, like a wise master carpenter I set the foundation)}}; and another buildeth above. But each man see, how he buildeth above,
{\ADD{[or Soothly each man see, how and what things he buildeth upon]}}.


\par }{\PP \VS{11}For no man may set another foundament, except
{\ADD{[or besides]}} that that is set, which is Christ Jesus.
{\SLS{(And no other foundation can be laid by any man, besides that which was laid, which is the Messiah Jesus.)}}


\par }{\PP \VS{12}For if any man buildeth over
{\ADD{[or upon]}} this foundament,
{\SLS{(with)}} gold, silver, precious stones, sticks, hay, or stubble,


\par }{\PP \VS{13}every man’s work shall be open; for the day of the Lord shall declare
{\SLS{(it)}}, for it shall be showed in fire; the fire shall prove the work of each man, what manner work it is.


\par }{\PP \VS{14}If the work of any man dwell still, which he builded above
{\ADD{[or upon]}}, he shall receive meed
{\SLS{(or he shall receive a reward)}}.


\par }{\PP \VS{15}If any man’s work burn, he shall suffer harm,
{\EM{either impairing}}; but he shall be safe, so nevertheless as by fire,
{\SLS{(or but he shall be saved, as if from a fire)}}.


\par }{\PP \VS{16}Know ye not, that ye be the temple of God,
{\SLS{(or Do ye not know, that ye be God’s temple)}}, and the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?


\par }{\PP \VS{17}And if any
{\ADD{[man]}} defouleth the temple of God, God shall lose him; for the temple of God is holy, which ye be.
{\SLS{(And if any man defileth God’s temple, God shall destroy him; for God’s temple is holy, which ye be.)}}


\par }{\PP \VS{18}No man deceive himself. If any man among you is seen to be wise in this world, be he made a fool,
{\SLS{(so)}} that he
{\SLS{(can truly)}} be wise.


\par }{\PP \VS{19}For the wisdom of this world is folly with God
{\SLS{(or For this world’s wisdom is foolishness to God)}}; for it is written, I shall catch wise men in their fell wisdom,
{\ADD{[or subtle guile]}};


\par }{\PP \VS{20}and again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of wise men, for those be vain
{\SLS{(or for they be empty and useless)}}.


\par }{\PP \VS{21}Therefore no man have glory in men
{\SLS{(or And so let no man boast about men)}}. For all things be yours,


\par }{\PP \VS{22}either Paul, either Apollos, either Cephas
{\SLS{(or Peter)}}, either the world, either life, either death, either things present, either things to coming
{\ADD{[or either things to come]}}; for all things be yours,


\par }{\PP \VS{23}and ye
{\EM{be}} of Christ, and Christ
{\EM{is}} of God.
{\SLS{(and ye
{\EM{(be)}} of the Messiah, and the Messiah
{\EM{(is)}} of God.)}}




\par }\Chap{CHAPTER 4}{\PP \VerseOne{1}So a man guess,
{\ADD{[or deem]}}, us as ministers of Christ,
{\SLS{(or So think of us as servants of the Messiah)}}, and
{\SLS{(as)}} dispensers of the mysteries of God.


\par }{\PP \VS{2}Now it is sought here among the dispensers, that a man be found true.


\par }{\PP \VS{3}And to me it is for the least thing, that I be deemed of you
{\SLS{(or if I be judged by you)}}, or of man’s day; but neither I deem
{\SLS{(or I judge)}} myself.


\par }{\PP \VS{4}For I am nothing over-trusting,
{\ADD{[or guilty]}}, to myself, but not in this thing I am justified; for he that deemeth me, is the Lord.


\par }{\PP \VS{5}Therefore do not ye deem before the time, till that the Lord come, which shall lighten the hid things of
{\SLS{(the)}} darknesses, and shall show the counsels of
{\SLS{(the)}} hearts; and then praising shall be to each man of God.
{\SLS{(And so do not judge before the time, until that the Lord come, who shall lighten things hidden in the darkness, and shall reveal the plans in the hearts; and then praises shall be to each person in God.)}}


\par }{\PP \VS{6}And, brethren, I have transfigured these things into me and into Apollos, for you; that in us ye learn
{\SLS{(or so that ye can learn from us)}}, lest over that it is written
{\ADD{[or lest over that that is written]}}, one against another be blown with pride for another
{\ADD{[man]}}.


\par }{\PP \VS{7}Who deemeth thee?
{\SLS{(or Who judgeth thee?)}} And what hast thou, that thou hast not received? And if thou hast received
{\SLS{(it)}}, what gloriest thou
{\SLS{(or why boastest thou)}}, as
{\SLS{(if)}} thou haddest not received
{\SLS{(it)}}?


\par }{\PP \VS{8}Now ye be
{\ADD{[full-]}}filled, now ye be made rich; ye reign without us; and I would that ye reign,
{\SLS{(so)}} that also we
{\SLS{(could)}} reign with you.


\par }{\PP \VS{9}And I guess, that God showed us the last apostles,
{\SLS{(or For I think, that God hath made us apostles the last, or the lowest)}},
{\SLS{(yea)}}, as those that be sent to the death; for we be made a spectacle to the world, and to angels, and to men.


\par }{\PP \VS{10}We fools for Christ, but ye prudent in Christ; we sick, but ye strong; ye noble, but we unnoble.
{\SLS{(We be fools for the Messiah, but ye be wise in the Messiah; we be frail or weak, but ye be strong; ye be noble, but we be ignoble.)}}


\par }{\PP \VS{11}Till into this hour we hunger, and thirst, and be naked, and be smitten with buffets, and we be unstable,
{\ADD{[moving from place to place]}},


\par }{\PP \VS{12}and we travail working with our hands; we be cursed, and we bless; we suffer persecution, and we abide long;


\par }{\PP \VS{13}we be blasphemed, and we beseech; as cleansings of this world we be made the out-casting{\SLS{(s)}} of all things till yet.


\par }{\PP \VS{14}I write not these things,
{\SLS{(so)}} that I confound you, but
{\SLS{(that)}} I warn you as my most dearworthy sons.


\par }{\PP \VS{15}For why if ye have ten thousand of under-masters in Christ, but not many fathers; for in Christ Jesus I have
{\SLS{(en)}}gendered you by the gospel.
{\SLS{(For ye may have ten thousand tutors in the Messiah, but only one father; for in the Messiah Jesus I have begat you, by preaching the Gospel or the Good News.)}}


\par }{\PP \VS{16}Therefore, brethren, I pray you, be ye followers of me, as I of Christ.
{\SLS{(And so brothers, I beseech you, be followers of me, like I am of the Messiah.)}}


\par }{\PP \VS{17}Therefore I sent to you Timothy, which is my most dearworthy son, and faithful in the Lord, which shall teach you
{\ADD{[or shall admonish you
{\SLS{(in)}}]}} my ways, that be in Christ Jesus,
{\SLS{(or who shall teach you my way of life, that is in the Messiah Jesus)}}; as I teach everywhere in each church.


\par }{\PP \VS{18}As though I should not come to you, so some be blown with pride;


\par }{\PP \VS{19}but I shall come to you soon, if God will
{\SLS{(or God willing)}}; and I shall know not the word{\SLS{(s)}} of them that be blown with pride, but the virtue
{\SLS{(or but the power)}}.


\par }{\PP \VS{20}For the realm of God is not in word{\SLS{(s)}}, but in virtue.
{\SLS{(For the Kingdom of God is not of words, but of power.)}}


\par }{\PP \VS{21}What will ye? Shall I come to you in a rod, or in charity, and in a spirit of mildness?
{\SLS{(What desire ye? Shall I come to you with a rod, or with love, and in a spirit of meekness and humility?)}}




\par }\Chap{CHAPTER 5}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Yet all manner of fornication is heard among you, and such fornication, which is not among heathen men
{\SLS{(or which is not even seen among the Gentiles)}}, so that some man have the wife of his father.


\par }{\PP \VS{2}And ye be swollen
{\ADD{[or blown]}} with pride, and not more had wailing, that he that did this work, be taken away from the middle of you.


\par }{\PP \VS{3}And I absent in body, but present in spirit, now have deemed
{\SLS{(or now have judged)}}, as
{\SLS{(if I were)}} present, him that hath thus wrought,


\par }{\PP \VS{4}when ye be gathered together in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, and my spirit, with the virtue of the Lord Jesus
{\SLS{(or with the power of the Lord Jesus)}},


\par }{\PP \VS{5}to betake such a man to Satan, into the perishing of flesh, that the spirit be safe in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
{\SLS{(to deliver such a man unto Satan, into the perishing of the flesh, so that his spirit be saved on the Day of our Lord Jesus Christ.)}}


\par }{\PP \VS{6}Your glorying is not good. Know ye not, that a little sourdough impaireth
{\ADD{[or corrupteth]}} all the gobbet?
{\SLS{(Your boasting, or your pride, is not good. Know ye not, that a little yeast corrupteth all the piece?)}}


\par }{\PP \VS{7}Cleanse ye out the old sourdough,
{\SLS{(so)}} that ye be
{\SLS{(a)}} new sprinkling together, as ye be therf,
{\ADD{[or without souring]}},
{\SLS{(or unleavened)}}. For Christ offered is our pask,
{\ADD{[or Forsooth Christ is offered our pask]}},
{\SLS{(or For the sacrificed Messiah is our Passover)}}.


\par }{\PP \VS{8}Therefore eat we, not in old sourdough, neither in sourdough of malice and waywardness, but in therf things of clearness, and of truth.
{\SLS{(And so, let us not eat the old yeast, yea, the yeast of malice and wickedness, but the unleavened things of sincerity, and of truth.)}}


\par }{\PP \VS{9}I wrote to you in an epistle, that ye be not meddled,
{\ADD{[or mingled, or commune not]}}, with lechers,


\par }{\PP \VS{10}not with
{\SLS{(the)}} lechers of this world, nor
{\EM{with}} covetous men, nor raveners, nor with men serving to maumets
{\ADD{[or to idols]}}, else ye should have gone out of this world
{\SLS{(or else ye would have had to have gone out of this world)}}.


\par }{\PP \VS{11}But now I have written to you, that ye be not meddled,
{\ADD{[or mingled, or commune not with such]}}. If he that is named a brother among you, and is a lecher, or covetous, or serving to idols, or a curser, or full of drunkenness, or a ravener, to take no meat with such,
{\SLS{(or to have no meals, or to eat no food, with such people)}}.


\par }{\PP \VS{12}For what
{\EM{is}} it to me to deem of them that be withoutforth? Whether ye deem not of things
{\ADD{[or of them]}} that be withinforth?
{\SLS{(For why
{\EM{should}} I judge those who be outside of us? Ye should judge those who be inside with us.)}}


\par }{\PP \VS{13}For God shall deem them that be withoutforth
{\SLS{(or And God shall judge those who be outside of us)}}. Do ye away evil from yourselves.




\par }\Chap{CHAPTER 6}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Dare any of you that hath a cause against another, be deemed at wicked men, and not at holy men
{\ADD{[or saints]}}?
{\SLS{(Dare any of you who hath a case against another, be judged by wicked men, and not by God’s people?)}}


\par }{\PP \VS{2}Whether ye know not, that
{\SLS{(the)}} saints shall deem this world? And if the world shall be deemed by you, be ye unworthy to deem the least things?
{\SLS{(Do ye not know, that God’s people shall judge this world? And so if the world shall be judged by you, be ye unworthy to judge these least things?)}}


\par }{\PP \VS{3}Know ye not, that we shall deem angels?
{\SLS{(or Do ye not know, that we shall judge the angels?)}}{\SLS{(and so then)}} how much more
{\SLS{(the)}} worldly things?


\par }{\PP \VS{4}Therefore if ye have worldly dooms
{\SLS{(or And so if ye have worldly judgements to make)}}, ordain ye those contemptible men,
{\ADD{[or of little reputation]}}, that be in the church, to deem
{\SLS{(them)}}.


\par }{\PP \VS{5}I say
{\SLS{(this)}} to make you ashamed
{\ADD{[or I say
{\SLS{(this)}} to your shame]}}. So there is not any wise man, that may deem betwixt a brother and his brother,
{\SLS{(or So is there not any wise man, who can judge between a brother and his brother)}};


\par }{\PP \VS{6}but brother with brother striveth in doom, and that among unfaithful men.
{\SLS{(but a brother must fight, or argue, with another brother in court, and in front of men who be out of the faith?)}}


\par }{\PP \VS{7}And
{\SLS{(so)}} now trespass is always among you, for ye have dooms among you
{\SLS{(or because ye have legal wranglings among you)}}. Why rather take ye not
{\SLS{(the)}} wrong? why rather suffer ye not
{\SLS{(the)}} deceit
{\ADD{[or
{\SLS{(the)}} fraud]}}?


\par }{\PP \VS{8}But also ye do wrong, and do fraud
{\ADD{[or and defraud]}}, and that to brethren.


\par }{\PP \VS{9}Whether ye know not, that wicked men shall not wield the kingdom of God? Do not ye err; neither lechers, neither men that serve maumets, neither adulterers, neither lechers against kind, neither they that do lechery with men,
{\SLS{(Do ye not know, that the wicked shall not possess the Kingdom of God? Do not err; neither lechers, nor men who serve idols, nor adulterers, nor lechers against nature, nor those who do lechery with men,)}}


\par }{\PP \VS{10}neither thieves, neither avaricious
{\ADD{[or covetous]}} men, neither
{\EM{men}} full of drunkenness, neither cursers, neither raveners, shall wield the kingdom of God
{\SLS{(or shall possess the Kingdom of God)}}.


\par }{\PP \VS{11}And ye were sometime these things; but ye be washed, but ye be hallowed
{\SLS{(or but ye be consecrated)}}, but ye be justified in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, and in the Spirit of our God.


\par }{\PP \VS{12}All things be leaveful to me, but not all things be speedful. All things be leaveful to me, but I shall not be brought down under any man’s power.
{\SLS{(All things be lawful for me, but not all things be expedient. All things be lawful for me, but I shall not be brought down under the power of any man.)}}


\par }{\PP \VS{13}Meat to the womb, and the womb to meats; and God shall destroy both this and that. And the body not to fornication, but to the Lord, and the Lord to the body.
{\SLS{(Food for the belly, and the belly for food; and God shall destroy both this and that. And the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord, and the Lord is for the body.)}}


\par }{\PP \VS{14}For God raised the Lord, and shall raise us by his virtue.
{\SLS{(For God raised the Lord, and he shall also raise us by his power.)}}


\par }{\PP \VS{15}Know ye not, that your bodies be members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ, and shall I make
{\EM{them}} the members of a whore? God forbid.
{\SLS{(Do ye not know, that your bodies be parts of the Messiah? Shall I then take the parts of the Messiah, and make
{\EM{(them)}}, or join
{\EM{(them)}}, to the parts of a whore? God forbid.)}}


\par }{\PP \VS{16}Whether ye know not, that he that cleaveth to a whore, is made one body? For he saith, There shall be twain in one flesh.


\par }{\PP \VS{17}And he that cleaveth to the Lord, is one Spirit.


\par }{\PP \VS{18}Flee ye fornication; all sin whatever sin a man doeth, is without the body
{\SLS{(or is outside the body)}}; but he that doeth fornication, sinneth against his body.

{\SLS{(or and then return to being together)}}, lest Satan tempt you for your uncontinence.


\par }{\PP \VS{6}But I say this thing as giving leave
{\ADD{[or by indulgence]}}, not by commandment.


\par }{\PP \VS{7}For I will
{\SLS{(or I desire)}}, that all men be as myself. But each man hath his proper gift of God
{\SLS{(or But each man hath his own gift from God)}}; one thus, and another thus.

{\SLS{(or Because the beauty of this world passeth away)}}.
