Nay, ye do wrong— That the wrong here spoken of was the fornicator's taking and keeping his father's wife, the words of St. Paul, 2 Corinthians 7:12 instancing this very wrong, are a sufficient evidence; and it is not wholly improbable that there had been some hearing of this matter before a heathen judge; or at least that this had been talked of; which, if supposed, will give a great light to this whole passage, and several others in this Epistle; for St. Paul's argument, ch. 1 Corinthians 5:12-13 ch. 1 Corinthians 6:1-3, &c. runs plainly thus, coherent and easy to be understood, if it stood together as it ought, without the division into two Chapter s: "You have a power to judge those who are of your church, therefore put away from among you that fornicator. You do ill to let the case come before a heathen magistrate;—Are you, who are to judge the world, and angels, not worthy to judge such a matter as this?" See Locke.
