The Great Bible 1539
| 6:1 | Darre one of you hauynge busynes wyth another, go to lawe vnder the wycked, & not rather vnder the saynctes? |
| 6:2 | Do ye not knowe, that the saynctes shall iudge the worlde? If the worlde shalbe iudged by you: are ye not good inough to iudge small trifles? |
| 6:3 | knowe ye not, howe that we shall iudge the angels? Howe moche more, maye we iudge thinges that pertayne to the lyfe? |
| 6:4 | If ye haue iudgementes of worldely matters, take then whych are despysed in the congregacyon, and make them iudges. |
| 6:5 | This I saye to youre shame. Is ther vtterly no wyse man amonge you? What not one at all, that can iudge betwene brother and brother, |
| 6:6 | but one brother goeth to lawe wt another: and that vnder the vnbeleuers? |
| 6:7 | Nowe therfore, there is vtterly a faute amonge you, because ye go to lawe one wyth another. Why rather suffer ye not wronge? why rather suffre ye not your selues to haue harme? |
| 6:8 | naye, ye youre selues do wronge, and robbe: & that the brethren. |
| 6:9 | Do ye not knowe, how that the vnryghteous shall not inheret the kyngdome of God? Be not deceaued. For nether fornicatours, nether worshyppers of ymages, nether aduoutrers, nether weaklynges, nether abusers of them selues wyth mankynde, |
| 6:10 | nether theues, nether couetouse, nether dronkardes, nether cursed speakers, nether pyllers, shall inheret the kyngdome of God. |
| 6:11 | And soch were some of you, but ye are wasshed: but ye are sanctifyed: but ye are iustifyed by the name of the Lorde Iesus, & by the sprete of oure God. |
| 6:12 | I maye do all thynges, but all thynges are not profytable. I maye do all thynges: but I will be brought vnder no mans power. |
| 6:13 | Meates are ordeyned for the belly, & the belly for meates: but God shall destroye both it and them. Let not the body be applyed vnto fornicacyon, but vnto the Lorde, and the Lorde vnto the body. |
| 6:14 | God hath raysed vp the Lorde, and shall rayse vs vp by hys power. |
| 6:15 | Ether knowe ye not, that youre bodyes are the membres of Christ? shall I nowe take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbyd. |
| 6:16 | Do ye not knowe, that he whych coupleth hym selfe wt an harlot, is become one body. For two (sayth he) shalbe one flesshe. |
| 6:17 | But he that is ioyned vnto the Lorde is one sprete. |
| 6:18 | Fle fornicacion. Euery synne that a man doth, is without the body. But he that is a fornicator, synneth against his awne body. |
| 6:19 | Ether knowe ye not, how that youre bodyes are the temple of the holy ghost, which dwelleth in you, whom ye haue of God, and how that ye are not youre awne? |
| 6:20 | For ye are dearly bought. Therfore glorifye God in youre bodyes, and in youre spretes, which are Goddes. |
The Great Bible 1539
The Great Bible of 1539 was the first authorized edition of the Bible in English, authorized by King Henry VIII of England to be read aloud in the church services of the Church of England. The Great Bible was prepared by Myles Coverdale, working under commission of Thomas, Lord Cromwell, Secretary to Henry VIII and Vicar General. In 1538, Cromwell directed the clergy to provide "one book of the bible of the largest volume in English, and the same set up in some convenient place within the said church that ye have care of, whereas your parishioners may most commodiously resort to the same and read it."
