1 Corinthians 6:13–18

¹⁹What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?

¹⁹What, know ye not that your body is the Temple of the holy Ghost which is in you, which yee haue of God, and ye are not your owne?

¹⁶Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

^16*Knowe yee not that yee are the Temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

¹²Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.

¹²Let not sinne reigne therfore in your mortall body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.

¹⁵Know 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.

¹⁵Know yee 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.

³For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication:

⁴That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour;

⁵Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God:

⁶That no man go beyond and defraud his brother in any matter: because that the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified.

⁷For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness.

³For this is the will of God, euen your sanctification, that yee should absteine from fornication:

⁴That euery one of you should know how to possesse his vessell in sanctification and honour:

⁵Not in the lust of concupiscence, euen as the Gentiles which know not God:

⁶That no man goe beyond and ^‖defraud his brother ^‖in any matter, because that the Lord is the auenger of all such; as we also haue forewarned you, and testified:

⁷For God hath not called vs vnto vncleannesse, but vnto holinesse.

²³For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.

²³For the husband is the head of the wife, euen as Christ is the head of the Church: and he is the sauiour of the body.

¹⁷Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?

¹⁷Doe not yee yet vnderstand, that whatsoeuer entreth in at the mouth, goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?

¹I BESEECH you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.

¹¶ I beseech you therefore brethren, by the mercies of God, that yee present your bodies a liuing sacrifice, holy, acceptable vnto God, which is your reasonable seruice.

¹⁷For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.

¹⁷For the kingdome of God is not meat and drinke; but righteousnes, and peace, and ioy in the holy Ghost.

⁷For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself.

⁸For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord’s.

⁹For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living.

⁷For none of vs liueth to himselfe, and no man dieth to himselfe.

⁸For whether we liue, we liue vnto the Lord: and whether wee die, we die vnto the Lord: whether wee liue therefore or die, we are the Lords.

⁹For to this ende Christ both died, and rose, and reuiued, that hee might be Lord both of the dead and liuing.

³And did all eat the same spiritual meat;

⁴And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.

⁵But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness.

³And did all eat the same spirituall meat:

⁴And did all drinke the same spirituall drinke: (for they dranke of that spirituall Rocke that ^‖followed them: and that Rocke was Christ)

⁵But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were ouerthrowen in the wildernesse.

²For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.

²For I am iealous ouer you with godly iealousie, for I haue espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.

¹⁵And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.

¹⁵And that he died for all, that they which liue, should not hencefoorth liue vnto themselues, but vnto him which died for them, and rose againe.

²²Which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men?

²³Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body; not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh.

²²Which all are to perish with the vsing) after the commandements and doctrines of men:

²³Which things haue in deed a shew of wisedome in will-worship and humilitie, and ^‖neglecting of the body, not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh.

²⁷Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed.

^27‖Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth vnto euerlasting life, which the Sonne of man shall giue vnto you: ^*for him hath God the Father sealed.

⁴⁹Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead.

⁴⁹Your fathers did eate Manna in the wildernesse, and are dead.

¹⁹Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats?

¹⁹Because it entreth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats?

²⁰These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man.

²⁰These are the things which defile a man: But to eate with vnwashen hands, defileth not a man.

⁴Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God.

⁴Wherefore my brethren, yee also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ, that ye should be married to another, euen to him who is raised from the dead, that wee should bring forth fruit vnto God,

¹⁴Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you.

¹⁴Knowing that hee which raised vp the Lord Iesus, shall raise vp vs also by Iesus, and shall present vs with you.

¹¹But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.

¹¹But if the spirit of him that raised vp Iesus from the dead, dwell in you: he that raised vp Christ from the dead, shall also quicken your mortall bodies, ^‖by his spirit that dwelleth in you.

¹⁹And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,

²⁰Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,

¹⁹And what is the exceeding greatnesse of his power to vs-ward who beleeue, according to the working ^†of his mightie power:

²⁰Which he wrought in Christ when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his owne right hand in the heauenly places,

²¹Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.

²¹Who shall change our vile bodie, that it may bee fashioned like vnto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able euen to subdue all things vnto himselfe.

²⁴Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it.

²⁴Whom God hath raised vp, hauing loosed the paines of death: because it was not possible that hee should be holden of it.

³⁹And this is the Father’s will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.

⁴⁰And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

³⁹And this is the Fathers wil which hath sent me, that of all which he hath giuen mee, I should lose nothing, but should raise it vp againe at the last day.

⁴⁰And this is the will of him that sent me, that euery one which seeth the Sonne, and beleeueth on him, may haue euerlasting life: and I will raise him vp at the last day.

⁴Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

⁵For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:

⁶Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.

⁷For he that is dead is freed from sin.

⁸Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:

⁴Therefore wee are buryed with him by baptisme into death, that like as Christ was raised vp from the dead by the glorie of the Father: euen so wee also should walke in newnesse of life.

⁵For if we haue bene planted together in the likenesse of his death: wee shalbe also in the likenesse of his resurrection:

⁶Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the bodie of sinne might bee destroyed, that hencefoorth we should not serue sinne.

⁷For he that is dead, is ^†freed from sinne.

⁸Now if we be dead with Christ, we beleeue that we shal also liue with him:

¹⁴For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.

¹⁴For if we beleeue that Iesus died, and rose againe: euen so them also which sleepe in Iesus, will God bring with him.

¹⁵Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not.

¹⁶For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised:

¹⁷And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.

¹⁸Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished.

¹⁹If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.

²⁰But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.

¹⁵Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God, because we haue testified of God, that he raised vp Christ: whom hee raised not vp, if so bee that the dead rise not.

¹⁶For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised.

¹⁷And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vaine, ye are yet in your sinnes.

¹⁸Then they also which are fallen asleepe in Christ, are perished.

¹⁹If in this life only we haue hope in Christ, wee are of all men most miserable.

²⁰But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the first fruits of them that slept.

²³But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ’s at his coming.

²³But euery man in his owne order. Christ the first fruits, afterward they that are Christs, at his comming.

³¹Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.

³¹Because hee hath appointed a day in the which he will iudge the world in righteousnesse, by that man whom hee hath ordeined, whereof he ^‖hath giuen assurance vnto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.

²⁵Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:

²⁶And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?

²⁵Iesus said vnto her, I am the resurrection, and the ^*life: hee that beleeueth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he liue.

²⁶And whosoeuer liueth, and beleeueth in mee, shall neuer die. Beleeuest thou this?

¹⁰That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;

¹¹If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.

¹⁰That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable vnto his death,

¹¹If by any meanes I might attaine vnto the resurrection of the dead.

²⁸Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,

²⁹And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.

²⁸Marueile not at this: for the houre is comming, in the which all that are in the graues shall heare his voice,

²⁹And shall come foorth, ^*they that haue done good, vnto the resurrection of life, and they that haue done euill, vnto the resurrection of damnation.

³⁰For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.

³⁰For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.

⁵So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.

⁵So we being many are one bodie in Christ, and euery one members one of another.

¹⁵But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:

¹⁶From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.

¹⁵But ^‖speaking the trueth in loue, may grow vp into him in all things which is the head, euen Christ:

^16*From whom the whole body fitly ioyned together, and compacted by that which euery ioynt supplyeth, according to the effectuall working in the measure of euery part, maketh increase of the body, vnto the edifying of it selfe in loue.

¹⁹And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God.

¹⁹And not holding the head, from which all the body by ioynts and bands hauing nourishment ministred, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God.

²⁷Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.

²⁷Now yee are the body of Christ, and members in particular.

¹²For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:

¹²For the perfecting of the Saints, for the worke of the ministerie, for the edifying of the body of Christ:

³But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.

³But I would haue you knowe, that the head of euery man is Christ: and the head of the woman is the man, and the head of Christ is God.

¹⁹What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?

¹⁹What, know ye not that your body is the Temple of the holy Ghost which is in you, which yee haue of God, and ye are not your owne?

²³For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.

²³For the husband is the head of the wife, euen as Christ is the head of the Church: and he is the sauiour of the body.

¹⁴But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.

¹⁴But God forbid that I should glory, saue in the Crosse of our Lord Iesus Christ, ^‖by whom the world is crucified vnto me, & I vnto the world.

¹⁶He shall come and destroy these husbandmen, and shall give the vineyard to others. And when they heard it, they said, God forbid.

¹⁶Hee shall come and destroy these husbandmen, and shall giue the vineyard to others. And when they heard it, they said, God forbid.

¹³Meats for the belly, and the belly for 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.

¹³Meats for the belly, and the belly for meates: 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.

²²And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church,

²³Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.

²²And hath put all things vnder his feete, and gaue him to be the head ouer all things to the Church,

²³Which is his body, the fulnesse of him that filleth all in all.

¹⁷But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid.

¹⁷But if while we seeke to be iustified by Christ, wee our selues also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sinne? God forbid.

²¹Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law.

²¹ Is the Lawe then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had beene a Lawe giuen which could haue giuen life, verily righteousnesse should haue bene by the Law.

³For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect?

⁵And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?

⁶Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

⁵And said, ^*For this cause shall a man leaue father and mother, and shall cleaue to his wife: and ^*they twaine shalbe one flesh.

⁶Wherefore they are no more twaine, but one flesh. What therefore God hath ioyned together, let not man put asunder.

³¹Whether of them twain did the will of his father? They say unto him, The first. Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.

³²For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not: but the publicans and the harlots believed him: and ye, when ye had seen it, repented not afterward, that ye might believe him.

³¹Whether of them twaine did the will of his father? They say vnto him, The first. Iesus saith vnto them, Uerely I say vnto you, that the Publicanes and the harlots go into the kingdome of God before you.

³¹By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them that believed not, when she had received the spies with peace.

³¹By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them ^‖that beleeued not, when shee had receiued the spies with peace.

¹¹Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;

¹¹Dearely beloued, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrimes, abstaine from fleshly lusts, which warre against the soule,

³For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication:

³For this is the will of God, euen your sanctification, that yee should absteine from fornication:

⁵Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:

⁵Mortifie therefore your members which are vpon the earth: fornication, vncleannesse, inordinate affection, euill concupiscence, and couetousnesse, which is idolatrie:

¹²Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.

¹³Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.

¹²Let not sinne reigne therfore in your mortall body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.

¹³Neither yeeld yee your members as instruments of vnrighteousnes vnto sinne: but yeelde your selues vnto God, as those that are aliue from the dead, and your members as ^†instruments of righteousnesse vnto God.

²²Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

²²Flie also youthfull lusts: but follow righteousnesse, faith, charitie, peace with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

⁴Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.

⁴Mariage is honorable in all, and the bed vndefiled: but whoremongers, and adulterers God will iudge.

⁹Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,

⁹Know yee not that the vnrighteous shall not inherite the kingdome of God? Be not deceiued: neither fornicatours, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselues with mankinde,

³But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;

³But fornication and all vncleannesse, or couetousnesse, let it not be once named amongst you, as becommeth Saints:

⁵Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God:

⁵Not in the lust of concupiscence, euen as the Gentiles which know not God:

²⁴To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman.

²⁵Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids.

²⁶For by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece of bread: and the adulteress will hunt for the precious life.

²⁷Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned?

²⁸Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be burned?

²⁹So he that goeth in to his neighbour’s wife; whosoever toucheth her shall not be innocent.

³⁰Men do not despise a thief, if he steal to satisfy his soul when he is hungry;

³¹But if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the substance of his house.

³²But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul.

^24*‖To keepe thee from the euill woman, from the flatterie of the tongue of a strange woman.

^25*Lust not after her beautie in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids.

^26†For by meanes of a whorish woman, a man is brought to a piece of bread: and the adulteresse will hunt for the precious life.

²⁷Can a man take fire in his bosome, and his clothes not be burnt?

²⁸Can one goe vpon hote coales, and his feete not be burnt?

²⁹So he that goeth in to his neighbours wife; whosoeuer toucheth her, shall not be innocent.

³⁰ Men doe not despise a thiefe, if he steale to satisfie his soule, when hee is hungry:

³¹But if he be found, he shall restore seuenfold, he shall giue all the substance of his house.

^32† But who so committeth adultery with a woman, lacketh vnderstanding: hee that doeth it, destroyeth his owne soule.

²¹And lest, when I come again, my God will humble me among you, and that I shall bewail many which have sinned already, and have not repented of the uncleanness and fornication and lasciviousness which they have committed.

²¹ And least when I come againe, my God will humble mee among you, and that I shall bewaile many which haue sinned alreadie, and haue not repented of the vncleannesse, and fornication, and lasciuiousnesse which they haue committed.

³¶ For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil:

⁴But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a twoedged sword.

⁵Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell.

⁶Lest thou shouldest ponder the path of life, her ways are moveable, that thou canst not know them.

⁷Hear me now therefore, O ye children, and depart not from the words of my mouth.

⁸Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the door of her house:

⁹Lest thou give thine honour unto others, and thy years unto the cruel:

¹⁰Lest strangers be filled with thy wealth; and thy labours be in the house of a stranger;

¹¹And thou mourn at the last, when thy flesh and thy body are consumed,

¹²And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof;

¹³And have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor inclined mine ear to them that instructed me!

¹⁴I was almost in all evil in the midst of the congregation and assembly.

¹⁵¶ Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running waters out of thine own well.

³¶ ^*†For the lips of a strange woman drop as an hony combe, and her mouth is smoother then oyle.

⁷Heare me now therefore, O yee children: & depart not from the words of my mouth.

⁸Remoue thy way farre from her, and come not nie the doore of her house:

⁹Lest thou giue thine honour vnto others, and thy yeeres vnto the cruell:

^10†Lest strangers be filled with thy wealth, and thy labors be in the house of a stranger,

¹¹And thou mourne at the last, when thy flesh and thy body are consumed,

¹²And say, How haue I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproofe?

¹³And haue not obeyed the voyce of my teachers, nor inclined mine eare to them that instructed me?

¹⁵¶ Drinke waters out of thine owne cisterne, and running waters out of thine owne well.

¹²And she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me: and he left his garment in her hand, and fled, and got him out.

¹³And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and was fled forth,

¹⁴That she called unto the men of her house, and spake unto them, saying, See, he hath brought in an Hebrew unto us to mock us; he came in unto me to lie with me, and I cried with a loud voice:

¹⁵And it came to pass, when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled, and got him out.

¹⁶And she laid up his garment by her, until his lord came home.

¹⁷And she spake unto him according to these words, saying, The Hebrew servant, which thou hast brought unto us, came in unto me to mock me:

¹⁸And it came to pass, as I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled out.

¹²And shee caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me: and he left his garment in her hand, and fled, and got him out.

¹⁵And it came to passe, when hee heard that I lifted vp my voice, and cried, that he left his garment with mee, and fled, and got him out.

¹⁶And she laid vp his garment by her, vntill her LORD came home.

¹⁷And she spake vnto him, according to these words, saying, The Hebrew seruant which thou hast brought vnto vs, came in vnto me to mocke me.

¹⁸And it came to passe as I lift vp my voice, and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled out.

¹⁶To deliver thee from the strange woman, even from the stranger which flattereth with her words;

¹⁷Which forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God.

¹⁸For her house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto the dead.

¹⁹None that go unto her return again, neither take they hold of the paths of life.

¹⁶To deliuer thee from the strange woman, ^* euen from the stranger, which flattereth with her words:

¹⁷Which forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the couenant of her God.

¹⁸For her house inclineth vnto death, and her pathes vnto the dead:

¹⁹None that goe vnto her, returne againe, neither take they hold of the pathes of life.

⁵That they may keep thee from the strange woman, from the stranger which flattereth with her words.

⁶¶ For at the window of my house I looked through my casement,

⁷And beheld among the simple ones, I discerned among the youths, a young man void of understanding,

⁸Passing through the street near her corner; and he went the way to her house,

⁹In the twilight, in the evening, in the black and dark night:

¹⁰And, behold, there met him a woman with the attire of an harlot, and subtil of heart.

¹¹(She is loud and stubborn; her feet abide not in her house:

¹²Now is she without, now in the streets, and lieth in wait at every corner.)

¹³So she caught him, and kissed him, and with an impudent face said unto him,

¹⁴I have peace offerings with me; this day have I payed my vows.

¹⁵Therefore came I forth to meet thee, diligently to seek thy face, and I have found thee.

¹⁶I have decked my bed with coverings of tapestry, with carved works, with fine linen of Egypt.

¹⁷I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.

¹⁸Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning: let us solace ourselves with loves.

¹⁹For the goodman is not at home, he is gone a long journey:

²⁰He hath taken a bag of money with him, and will come home at the day appointed.

²¹With her much fair speech she caused him to yield, with the flattering of her lips she forced him.

²²He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks;

²³Till a dart strike through his liver; as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it is for his life.

²⁴¶ Hearken unto me now therefore, O ye children, and attend to the words of my mouth.

²⁵Let not thine heart decline to her ways, go not astray in her paths.

²⁶For she hath cast down many wounded: yea, many strong men have been slain by her.

²⁷Her house is the way to hell, going down to the chambers of death.

^5*That they may keepe thee from the strange woman, from the stranger which flattereth with her words.

⁶¶ For at the windowe of my house I looked through my casement,

^7†And behelde among the simple ones, I discerned among the youths, a yong man void of vnderstanding,

⁸Passing through the streete neere her corner, and he went the way to her house,

^9†In the twilight in the euening, in the blacke and darke night:

¹⁰And behold, there met him a woman, with the attire of an harlot, and subtill of heart.

^11*(She is loud and stubburne, her feet abide not in her house:

¹²Now is shee without, now in the streetes, and lieth in waite at euery corner.)

^13†So she caught him, and kissed him, and with an impudent face, said vnto him,

^14† I haue peace offerings with me: this day haue I paid my vowes.

¹⁵Therefore came I forth to meete thee, diligently to seeke thy face, and I haue found thee.

¹⁶I haue deckt my bed with couerings of tapestrie, with carued workes, with fine linnen of Egypt.

¹⁷I haue perfumed my bed with myrrhe, aloes, and cynamom.

¹⁸Come, let vs take our fill of loue vntill the morning, let vs solace our selues with loues.

¹⁹For the good-man is not at home, he is gone a long iourney.

^20†‖He hath taken a bag of money with him, and will come home at the day appointed.

²¹With much faire speech she caused him to yeeld, with the flattering of her lips she forced him.

^22†He goeth after her straightway, as an oxe goeth to the slaughter, or as a foole to the correction of the stocks,

²³Til a dart strike through his liuer, as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it is for his life.

²⁴¶ Hearken vnto me now therefore, O ye children, and attend to the words of my mouth.

²⁵Let not thine heart decline to her wayes, goe not astray in her paths.

²⁶For shee hath cast downe many wounded: yea many strong men haue bene slaine by her.

^27*Her house is the way to hell, going downe to the chambers of death.

¹⁶Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: and as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,

¹⁷Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.

¹⁸But he knoweth not that the dead are there; and that her guests are in the depths of hell.

¹⁶Who so is simple, let him turne in hither: and as for him that wanteth vnderstanding, she saith to him;

^17†Stollen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.

¹⁸But hee knoweth not that the dead are there, and that her guests are in the depths of hell.

²⁴Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:

²⁴Wherefore God also gaue them vp to vncleannesse, through the lusts of their owne hearts, to dishonour their owne bodies betweene themselues:
