Wycliffe(i)
5 And not as we hopiden, but thei yauen hem silf first to the Lord, aftirward to vs bi the wille of God.
6 So that we preyeden Tite, that as he bigan, so also he performe in you this grace.
7 But as ye abounden in alle thingis, in feith, and word, and kunnyng, and al bisynesse, more ouer and in youre charite in to vs, that and in this grace ye abounden.
8 Y seie not as comaundinge, but bi the bisynesse of othere men appreuynge also the good wit of youre charite.
9 And ye witen the grace of oure Lord Jhesu Crist, for he was maad nedi for you, whanne he was riche, that ye schulden be maad riche bi his nedynesse.
10 And Y yyue counsel in this thing; for this is profitable to you, that not oneli han bigunne to do, but also ye bigunnen to haue wille fro the formere yere.
11 But now parfourme ye in deed, that as the discrecioun of wille is redi, so be it also of parformyng of that that ye han.
