²⁶ Beyonde all this, betweene vs & you there is a great gulfe set, so that they which woulde go from hence to you, can not, neither may come from thence to vs

²⁹ Abraham sayde vnto hym: they haue Moyses and the prophetes, let them heare them ³⁰ And he sayde, nay father Abraham: but yf one come vnto them from the dead, they wyll repent ³¹ He sayde vnto hym: If they heare not Moyses & the prophetes, neither wyll they beleue, though one rose from death agayne

²² When Iesus hearde that, he sayde vnto hym: Yet lackest thou one thyng. Sell all that thou hast, and distribute vnto the poore, & thou shalt haue treasure in heauen, and come, folowe me

¹⁹ Possesse ye your soule by patience

³¹ And the Lord saide: Simon, Simon, beholde Satan hath desired to sift you, as it were wheate ³² But I haue prayed for thee, that thy fayth fayle not: And when thou art couerted, strength thy brethren ³³ And he sayde vnto him: Lord I am redy to go with thee into pryson, and to death ³⁴ And he sayde: I tell thee Peter, the Cocke shal not crowe this day, tyll thou hast thryse denyed that thou knewest me

²¹ But we trusted that it had ben he which shoulde haue redeemed Israel: And as touchyng all these thynges, to day is euen the thirde day, that they were done

⁷ The same came for a witnesse, to beare witnesse of the lyght, that all men through hym myght beleue ⁸ He was not that lyght: but was sent to beare witnesse of the lyght ⁹ That [lyght] was the true lyght, which lyghteth euery man that commeth into the worlde

¹² But as many as receaued hym, to them gaue he power to be the sonnes of God, euen them that beleued on his name ¹³ Which were borne, not of blood, nor of the wyll of the fleshe, nor yet of the wyll of man, but of God ¹⁴ And the same word became fleshe, and dwelt among vs ( and we sawe the glory of it, as the glory of the only begotten sonne of the father) full of grace and trueth

⁴² And brought hym to Iesus. And Iesus behelde hym, and sayde: Thou art Simon the sonne of Iona, thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, a stone

³⁵ The father loueth the sonne, and hath geuen all thynges into his hande

²¹ For lykewyse as the father rayseth vp the dead, and quickeneth them: euen so, the sonne quickeneth whom he wyll ²² Neither iudgeth the father any man: but hath committed all iudgement vnto the sonne ²³ Because that all men shoulde honour the sonne, euen as they honour the father. He that honoureth not the sonne, the same honoureth not ye father which hath sent hym

²⁶ For as the father hath lyfe in hym selfe: so lykewyse hath he geuen to the sonne, to haue lyfe in hym selfe

³⁵ He was a burnyng & a shynyng lyght, and ye would for a season haue reioyced in his lyght ³⁶ But I haue greater witnesse, then the witnesse of Iohn: For the workes whiche the father hath geuen me to finishe, the same workes that I do, beare witnesse of me, that the father hath sent me ³⁷ And the father hymselfe which hath sent me, hath borne witnesse of me. Ye haue not hearde his voyce at any tyme, nor seene his shape

³⁹ Searche the scriptures, for in them ye thynke ye haue eternall lyfe: and they are they which testifie of me

⁴² But I knowe you, that ye haue not the loue of God in you

²⁷ Labour not for the meate whiche perisheth, but for that whiche endureth vnto euerlastyng lyfe, which [meate] the sonne of man shall geue vnto you: For hym hath God the father sealed

³⁷ All that the father geueth me, shall come to me: and hym that commeth to me, I cast not away

³⁹ And this is the fathers wyll whiche hath sent me: that of all which he hath geuen me, I shal lose nothing, but rayse it vp agayne at the last day

¹² Then spake Iesus agayne vnto them, saying, I am the light of ye world: He that foloweth me, doth not walke in darknesse, but shal haue the light of life

⁴⁰ And some of the pharisees which were with hym, hearde these wordes, & sayde vnto hym: Are we blynde also ⁴¹ Iesus sayde vnto them, Yf ye were blynde, ye shoulde haue no sinne: But nowe ye say, we see, therfore your sinne remayneth

¹⁰ A thiefe commeth not, but for to steale, kyll, & to destroy: I am come, that they myght haue lyfe, and that they myght haue it more aboundauntly

¹⁵ As the father knoweth me, euen so, knowe I also the father: And I geue my lyfe for the sheepe

³⁶ Say ye of hym whom the father hath sanctified and sent into the worlde, thou blasphemest, because I saide I am the sonne of God

²⁶ If any man minister vnto me, let hym folowe me: And where I am, there shall also my minister be. If any man minister vnto me, hym wyll my father honour

²⁸ Father, glorifie thy name. Then came there a voyce from heauen [saying] I haue both glorified it, and wyll glorifie it agayne ²⁹ The people therfore that stoode by and hearde it, sayde that it thundred: Other sayde, an Angel spake to hym

¹ Before the feast of the Passouer, when Iesus knewe that his houre was come, yt he shoulde departe out of this world vnto the father: When he loued his which were in the world, vnto the ende he loued them ² And when supper was ended (after that the deuyll had put in the heart of Iudas Iscariot Simons sonne, to betray hym ³ Iesus knowyng that the father had geuen all thynges into his handes, and that he was come from God, and went to God

³⁴ A newe commaundement geue I vnto you, that ye loue together, as I haue loued you, that euen so ye loue one another ³⁵ By this shall all men knowe that ye are my disciples, yf ye haue loue one to another

⁶ Iesus sayth vnto hym: I am the way, and the trueth, and the lyfe. No man cometh vnto the father, but by me

⁸ Philip sayth vnto hym: Lorde, shewe vs the father, and it suffiseth vs ⁹ Iesus sayth vnto hym: Haue I ben so long tyme with you, & yet hast thou not knowen me? Philip, he that hath seene me, hath seene the father. And howe sayest thou then, shewe vs the father

¹¹ Beleue me, that I am in the father, and the father in me: Or els beleue me for the workes sake

² Euery braunche that beareth not fruite in me, he will take away: And euery braunche that beareth fruite wyll he pourge, that it may bryng foorth more fruite

⁶ Yf a man byde not in me, he is cast foorth as a braunch, and withereth, and men gather them, and cast them into the fyre, and they burne ⁷ Yf ye byde in me, and my wordes abyde in you, aske what ye wyll, and it shalbe done for you ⁸ Herein is my father glorified: that ye beare much fruite, and become my disciples

² As thou hast geuen hym power ouer all fleshe, that he shoulde geue eternall life, to as many as thou hast geuen him

² As thou hast geuen hym power ouer all fleshe, that he shoulde geue eternall life, to as many as thou hast geuen him ³ This is lyfe eternall, that they myght knowe thee, the only true God, & Iesus Christe whom thou hast sent

³ This is lyfe eternall, that they myght knowe thee, the only true God, & Iesus Christe whom thou hast sent

²¹ That they all may be one, as thou father art in me, and I in thee, and that they also may be one in vs: that ye world may beleue, that thou hast sent me

¹⁷ Iesus saith vnto her: Touche me not, for I am not yet ascended to my father: But go to my brethren, and saye vnto them, I ascende vnto my father and your father, and to my God & your God

²¹ Then sayde Iesus to them agayne, peace be vnto you: As my father sent me, euen so sende I you also

¹⁵ So when they had dyned, Iesus saith to Simon Peter: Simon Ioanna, louest thou me more then these? He sayd vnto hym: Yea Lorde, thou knowest that I loue thee. He sayth vnto hym: feede my lambes ¹⁶ He sayth to hym agayne the seconde tyme: Simon Ioanna, louest thou me? He sayth vnto hym: Yea Lorde, thou knowest that I loue thee. He sayde vnto hym: feede my sheepe ¹⁷ He sayde vnto hym the thirde tyme: Simon Ioanna, louest thou me? Peter was sory, because he sayde vnto hym the thirde tyme, louest thou me: And he sayde vnto hym, Lorde thou knowest all thynges, thou knowest that I loue thee. Iesus sayth vnto hym: feede my sheepe ¹⁸ Ueryly veryly I say vnto thee, when thou wast young, thou gyrdedst thy selfe, and walkedst whither thou wouldest: but when thou shalt be olde, thou shalt stretch foorth thy handes, and another shall gyrde thee, and leade thee whither thou wouldest not ¹⁹ That spake he, signifiyng by what death he should glorifie God. And whe he had spoken this, he sayth vnto hym, folowe me

¹⁶ Ye men and brethren, this scripture must needes haue ben fulfylled, which the holy ghost by the mouth of Dauid spake before of Iudas, which was guide to them that toke Iesus

¹⁸ But those thynges which God before had shewed by the mouth of all his prophetes, that Christe shoulde suffer, he hath so fulfylled

⁸ And God whiche knoweth the heartes, bare them witnesse, and gaue vnto them the holy ghost, euen as he dyd vnto vs ⁹ And put no difference betwene vs and them, purifiyng their heartes by fayth

¹⁴ Simeon tolde, howe God at the begynnyng dyd visite, to receaue of the gentiles, a people in his name

²⁹ That ye abstayne from thynges offered to idols, and from blood, and from strangled, and from fornication: From which yf ye kepe your selues, ye shall do well. So fare ye well

⁵ And so were the Churches stablisshed in the fayth, and encreased in number dayly

¹¹ These were the noblest of birth among them of Thessalonica, which receaued the worde with all redynesse of mynde, and searched the scriptures dayly, whether those thynges were so

²⁴ But none of these thynges moue me, neither is my lyfe deare vnto my selfe, so that I myght fulfyll my course with ioy, and the ministerie whiche I haue receaued of the Lorde Iesu, to testifie the Gospell of the grace of God ²⁵ And nowe beholde, I am sure that hencefoorth ye al, through who I haue gone preachyng the kyngdome of God, shall see my face no more

²⁵ And nowe beholde, I am sure that hencefoorth ye al, through who I haue gone preachyng the kyngdome of God, shall see my face no more

²⁵ And as he reasoned of ryghteousnesse, temperaunce, and iudgement to come, Felix trembled, and aunswered: Go thy way for this tyme, when I haue a conuenient season, I will sende for thee

²⁵ And when they agreed not among them selues, they departed after that Paul had spoken one worde, [that is to say] well spake the holy ghost by Esaias the prophete, vnto our fathers

¹ Paul the seruaunt of Iesus Christe, called [to be] an Apostle, seuered into the Gospel of God

⁴ And hath ben declared to be the sonne of God, with power after the spirite that sanctifieth, by the resurrectio from the dead, of Iesus Christe our Lorde

⁷ To all that be in Rome, beloued of God, saintes by callyng, grace to you, and peace, from God our father, and the Lorde Iesus Christe

¹² That is, that I might haue consolation together with you, eche with others fayth, yours and mine

¹⁷ For by it is the ryghteousnes of God opened fro fayth to fayth. As it is written: the iuste shall lyue by fayth

⁷ To them, whiche by continuyng in well doyng seke for glorie, and honour, and immortalitie, eternall lyfe

²¹ But nowe is the righteousnes of God declared without the lawe, beyng witnessed by the testimonie of the lawe and of the prophetes ²² The ryghteousnes of God [commeth] by the fayth of Iesus Christe, vnto all and vpon all them that beleue. There is no difference ²³ For all haue synned, and are destitute of the glorie of God ²⁴ Iustified freely by his grace, through the redemption that is in Christe Iesu ²⁵ Whom God hath set foorth to be a propitiatio, through fayth in his blood, to declare his ryghteousnes, in that he forgeueth the sinnes that are past ²⁶ Which God dyd suffer, to shew at this tyme his righteousnes, that he might be iuste, & the iustifier of hym which beleueth on Iesus

³ Not that only: but also we reioyce in tribulations, knowyng that tribulation worketh pacience ⁴ Pacience profe, profe hope

¹ What shall we saye then? Shall we continue in sinne, that grace maye abound? God forbyd ² Howe shall we that are dead to sinne, lyue any longer therin ³ Knowe ye not, that all we whiche haue ben baptized into Iesus Christe, haue ben baptized into his death ⁴ We are buryed then with him by baptisme into his death, that lykewyse as Christe was raysed vp from the dead by the glorie of the father: euen so, we also shoulde walke in newnesse of lyfe

⁶ Knowyng this, that our olde man is crucified with hym also, that the body of sinne might vtterly be destroyed, that hencefoorth we shoulde not serue sinne

¹¹ Lykewyse, recken your selues to be dead to sinne, but alyue vnto God, thorowe Iesus Christe our Lorde

²⁵ But and yf we hope for that we see not, the do we with pacience abide for it

²⁸ For we knowe yt all thinges worke for the best, vnto them that loue God, to them which also are called of purpose

²⁸ For we knowe yt all thinges worke for the best, vnto them that loue God, to them which also are called of purpose ²⁹ For those which he knewe before, he also dyd predestinate, that they shoulde be lyke fashioned vnto the shape of his sonne, that he myght be ye first begotten among many brethren

²⁹ For those which he knewe before, he also dyd predestinate, that they shoulde be lyke fashioned vnto the shape of his sonne, that he myght be ye first begotten among many brethren ³⁰ Moreouer, whom he dyd predestinate, the also he called. And whom he called, them also he iustified: And whom he iustified, them he also glorified

³⁰ Moreouer, whom he dyd predestinate, the also he called. And whom he called, them also he iustified: And whom he iustified, them he also glorified ³¹ What shall we then say to these thynges? If God be on our syde, who can be agaynst vs ³² Which spared not his owne sonne, but gaue hym for vs all: Howe shall he not with hym also geue vs all thynges

⁴ Which are the Israelites: To whom pertayneth the adoption, and the glory, & the couenauntes, and the lawe that was geuen, and the seruice of God, and the promises

²⁴ Whom also he called, not of ye Iewes only, but also of the Gentiles

⁶ Seyng that we haue dyuers giftes, accordyng to the grace that is geuen vnto vs, yf any man haue the gyft, either prophesie after the measure of fayth

¹⁰ Affectioned one to another with brotherly loue, in geuyng honour, go one before another ¹¹ Not lither in businesse, feruent in spirite, seruyng the Lorde

¹¹ And chiefely consideryng the season, howe that it is tyme that we shoulde nowe awake out of slepe: For nowe is our saluation nearer, then when we beleued

⁴ For whatsoeuer thynges haue ben written afore time, were written for our learnyng, that we through pacience and comfort of ye scriptures might haue hope

⁶ That ye all agreeyng together, may with one mouth prayse God, and the father of our Lorde Iesus Christe

¹⁴ I my selfe am perswaded of you my brethre, that ye also are full of goodnes, and fylled with all knowledge, able also to exhort one another ¹⁵ Neuerthelesse brethren, I haue somewhat more boldly written vnto you, to put you in remembraunce, through the grace that is geuen me of God

⁷ So that ye are destitute of no gyft, wayting for the appearing of our Lord Iesus Christe

⁹ God is faythfull, by whom ye are called vnto the felowship of his sonne Iesus Christe our Lorde

¹⁷ For Christe sent me not to baptize, but to preache the Gospell: not with wisedome of wordes, lest ye crosse of Christ shoulde be made of none effect

²³ But we preache Christe crucified, vnto the Iewes a stumblyng blocke, and vnto the Grekes foolyshnesse

³⁰ And of hym are ye in Christe Iesu, whiche of God is made vnto vs wisedome, and righteousnesse, and sanctification, and redemption

¹ And I brethren, when I came to you, came not in gloriousnesse of wordes, or of wisedome, shewing vnto you the testimonie of God

⁴ And my wordes and my preachyng was not with entysing wordes of mans wisedome, but in shewyng of the spirite, and of power

²¹ Therfore, let no man reioyce in men: For all thynges are yours ²² Whether it be Paul, or Apollo, or Cephas, either the worlde, either lyfe, or death, whether they be present thinges, or thynges to come, all are yours ²³ And ye are Christes, and Christe (is) Gods

⁴ In the name of our Lorde Iesus Christe, when ye are gathered together and my spirite, with the power of the Lorde Iesus Christe

¹ Am I not an Apostle? am I not free? haue I not seene Iesus Christe our Lord: Are ye not my worke in the Lorde

²⁵ Euery man that proueth maisteries, abstayneth from all thynges, and they [do it] to obtayne a crowne that shall perishe: but we to obtayne an euerlasting crowne

¹ Though I speake with the tongues of men and of Angels, and haue not loue, I am [as] soundyng brasse, or [as] a tincklyng Cimball ² And though I coulde prophesie, and vnderstoode all secretes, and all knowledge: Yea, if I had all fayth, so that I coulde moue mountaynes out of their places, and haue not loue, I were nothyng ³ And though I bestowe all my goodes to feede the poore, and though I geue my body that I burned, and haue not loue, it profiteth me nothyng ⁴ Loue suffreth long, and is curteous: Loue enuieth not, loue doth not frowardely, swelleth not ⁵ Dealeth not dishonestlie, seeketh not her owne, is not prouoked to anger, thynketh none euyll ⁶ Reioyceth not in iniquitie: bur reioyceth in the trueth ⁷ Suffreth all thynges, beleueth all thynges, hopeth all thynges, endureth all thynges ⁸ Though ye prophesiynges fayle, other tongues ceasse, or knowledge vanishe away, [yet] loue falleth neuer away

²⁰ Brethren, be not chyldren in wytte: Howbeit, as concerning maliciousnesse, be chyldren: but in wytte, be perfect

⁹ For I am the least of the Apostles, which am not worthy to be called an Apostle, because I persecuted the Churche of God

⁵⁸ Therfore my beloued brethren, be ye stedfast, vnmouable, alwayes riche in the worke of the Lorde, forasmuch as ye knowe that your labour is not in vayne in the Lorde

³ Blessed be God, the father of our Lorde Iesus Christe, whiche is the father of mercies, & the God of al comfort

²⁰ For all the promises of God in him are yea, and are in him Amen, vnto the glorie of God, through vs

¹⁷ For we are not as many are, whiche chop & chaunge with the word of God: but as of purenesse of God, in the syght of God, so speake we in Christe

¹⁸ But we all behold [as] in a mirrour, the glorie of the Lorde, with his face open, and are chaunged vnto the same similitude, from glorie to glorie, euen as of the spirite of the Lorde

² But haue cast from vs the clokes of vnhonestie, and walke not in craftynesse, neither handle we the word of God disceitefully, but in openyng of the trueth, and report our selues to euery mans conscience in the syght of God ³ Yf our Gospell be yet hyd, it is hyd in them that are lost ⁴ In whom the god of this worlde hath blinded the myndes of them whiche beleue not, lest the lyght of the Gospell of the glorie of Christe (which is the image of God) should shine vnto them

⁴ In whom the god of this worlde hath blinded the myndes of them whiche beleue not, lest the lyght of the Gospell of the glorie of Christe (which is the image of God) should shine vnto them ⁵ For we preache not our selues, but Christe Iesus the Lord, and our selues your seruauntes for Iesus sake ⁶ For it is God that commaundeth the lyght to shine out of darknesse, whiche hath shined in our heartes, for to geue the lyght of the knowledge of the glorie of God, in the face of Iesus Christe

⁶ For it is God that commaundeth the lyght to shine out of darknesse, whiche hath shined in our heartes, for to geue the lyght of the knowledge of the glorie of God, in the face of Iesus Christe

¹³ Seing then that we haue the same spirite of fayth (accordyng as it is written, I beleued, and therefore haue I spoken) We also beleue, and therefore speake

¹ For we knowe, that yf our earthly house of [this] tabernacle were destroyed, we haue a building of God, an habitation not made with handes, but eternall in heauen

¹ For we knowe, that yf our earthly house of [this] tabernacle were destroyed, we haue a building of God, an habitation not made with handes, but eternall in heauen ² For therfore sygh we, desiryng to be clothed with our house whiche is from heauen ³ So yet, yf that we be founde clothed, and not naked ⁴ For we that are in this tabernacle sigh, & being burdened because we would not be vnclothed, but would be clothed vpo, that mortalitie might be swalowed vp of lyfe

⁸ Neuerthelesse, we are of good comfort, and had rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lorde

¹³ For yf we be to feruent, to God are we to feruent: Or yf we kepe measure, for your cause kepe we measure ¹⁴ For the loue of Christe constrayneth vs, because we thus iudge, that yf one dyed for all, then were all dead ¹⁵ And he dyed for all, that they which lyue, shoulde not hencefoorth lyue vnto them selues, but vnto hym which dyed for them, and rose agayne ¹⁶ Wherefore hencefoorth knowe we no man after the flesshe: Insomuche, though we haue knowen Christe after the flesshe, nowe yet hencefoorth knowe we hym so no more ¹⁷ Therfore yf any man be in Christe, he is a newe creature. Olde thynges are passed awaye, beholde all thynges are become newe

²¹ For he hath made him to be sinne for vs, whiche knewe no sinne, that we shoulde be made the ryghteousnesse of God in hym

⁴ But in all thynges let vs behaue our selues as ye ministers of God, in much pacience, in afflictions, in necessities, in anguisshes

¹⁷ Wherfore come out fro among them, and separate your selues from them (saith the Lorde) and touche none vncleane thyng, and I wyll receaue you

² Howe that ye aboundance of their reioycing is, that they are tryed with muche tribulation. And though they were exceedyng poore, yet haue they geuen exceedyng rychlye, and that in singlenesse

⁷ Nowe therefore as ye are riche in all thinges, in fayth, in worde, in knowledge, in all feruentnesse, and in loue, which ye haue to vs: euen so, see that ye be plenteous in this grace also

¹⁴ And by their prayers for you, which long after you, for the aboundaunt grace of God in you

³¹ The God and father of our Lorde Iesus Christe, which is blessed for euermore, knoweth that I lye not

⁹ And he sayde vnto me: My grace is sufficient for thee. For my strength is made perfect in weakenesse. Most gladly therfore, I wyll rather glorie in my infirmities, that the power of Christ myght dwell in me

¹⁶ But be it, [that] I was not chargeable vnto you: Neuerthelesse, when I was craftie, I caught you with guile ¹⁷ Dyd I pyll you by any of them who I sent vnto you

⁵ Examine your selues, whether ye are in the fayth: Proue your owne selues. Knowe ye not your owne selues, howe that Iesus Christe is in you? except ye be reprobates

⁸ (For he that was myghtie in Peter, to the Apostleshyp of the circumcision, the same was myghtie in me towarde the gentiles

¹⁶ To Abraham and his seede were the promises made. He sayth not to the seedes, as of many: but to thy seede, as of one, which is Christe

⁶ For in Iesus Christe, neither is circumcision any thing woorth, neither yet vncircumcision: but fayth, which worketh by loue

¹³ For brethren, ye haue ben called into libertie: Only let not libertie be an occasio to the flesshe, but by loue serue one another

²³ Mekenesse, temperauncie: agaynst such there is no lawe

⁸ For he that soweth into his flesshe, shal of the flesshe reape corruption: But he that soweth into the spirite, shall of the spirite reape lyfe euerlastyng

¹⁰ Whyle we haue therefore tyme, let vs do good vnto all men, specially vnto the which are of the housholde of fayth

¹⁷ That the God of our Lorde Iesus Christe, the father of glorie, may geue vnto you the spirite of wisdome and reuelation, in the knowledge of hym ¹⁸ The eyes of your myndes beyng lightened, that ye maye knowe what the hope is of his callyng, and what the richesse of the glorie of his inheritaunce [is] in the saintes ¹⁹ And what is the exceedyng greatnesse of his power to vswarde, which beleue, accordyng to the workyng of his myghtie power ²⁰ Which he wrought in Christe when he raysed hym from the dead, and set him on his ryght hande in heauenly [places ²¹ Farre aboue all rule, and power, and myght, and dominion, and euery name that is named, not in this worlde only, but also in the worlde to come

⁵ Which [misterie] in other ages was not opened vnto the sonnes of men, as it is nowe reuealed vnto his holy apostles and prophetes by the spirite

²⁰ Unto him that is able to do exceeding aboundauntly aboue all that we aske or thynke, accordyng to the power that worketh in vs

¹ I therfore, a prisoner in the Lorde, exhorte you, that ye walke worthy of the vocatio wherewith ye are called

⁴ One body and one spirite, euen as ye are called in one hope of your calling ⁵ One Lorde, one fayth, one baptisme

¹¹ And he gaue some apostles, and some prophetes, and some euangelistes, and some shepheardes and teachers

¹⁴ That we hencefoorth be no more children, wauering and caryed about with euery wynde of doctrine, in the wylynesse of men, in craftynesse, to the laying wayte of deceyte

²³ To be renued in the spirite of your mynde ²⁴ And to put on that newe man, which after God is shapen, in righteousnesse & holynesse of trueth

⁷ Be not ye therefore companions of them ⁸ For ye were sometimes darknesse: but nowe are ye lyght in the Lorde. Walke as chyldren of lyght

¹⁷ Wherfore be ye not vnwise, but vnderstandyng what the wyll of the Lord is

²⁶ To sanctifie it, clensyng [it] in the fountayne of water in the worde

⁹ And this I pray, that your loue may abounde yet more and more in knowledge, and in all vnderstandyng

²⁹ For vnto you it is geuen for Christe, not only this to beleue on hym: but also this, to suffer for his sake

⁵ Let ye same mynde be in you, which was in Christe Iesus

¹² Wherfore, my dearely beloued, as ye haue alwayes obeyed, not as in my presence only, but nowe much more in my absence, worke out your owne saluation with feare and tremblyng

¹ Moreouer my brethren, reioyce ye in the Lord. It greeueth me not to write the same thyng often to you, for to you it is a sure thyng

⁸ Yea, I thynke all thynges but losse, for the excellencie of the knowledge of Christe Iesus my Lorde: For whom I haue counted all thyng losse, & do iudge the but vile, that I may winne Christe ⁹ And be founde in hym, not hauyng myne owne ryghteousnesse which is of the lawe: but that which is through the fayth of Christ, the ryghteousnes which commeth of God through fayth

²¹ Who shall chaunge our vyle body, that it may be fashioned lyke vnto his glorious body, according to the working wherby he is able to subdue all thynges vnto hym selfe

⁸ Furthermore brethren, whatsoeuer, thynges are true, whatsoeuer thynges (are) honest, whatsoeuer thynges (are) iuste, whatsoeuer thynges (are) pure, whatsoeuer thynges pertayne to loue, whatsoeuer thynges (are) of honest report: If there be any vertue, & yf there be any prayse, thynke on these thynges

⁹ For this cause we also, sence ye day we hearde, haue not ceassed to pray for you, and to desire that ye myght be fulfylled with knowledge of his wyll, in all wisdome & spiritual vnderstandyng

¹¹ Strenthened with all might, through his glorious power, vnto all patience and long sufferyng with ioyfulnesse

¹⁶ For by him were all thinges created, that are in heaue and that are in earth, visible and inuisible, whether [they be] maiestie or lordeshippe, either rule or power: All thynges were created by hym and for hym

³ In whom are hyd all the treasures of wisdome and knowledge

⁷ Rooted and built in hym, & stablished in the fayth, as ye haue ben taught, aboundyng therin with thankes geuing

¹⁰ Hauyng put on the newe man, which is renued into the knowledge after the image of hym that made hym

¹⁴ And aboue all thynges [put on] loue, which is the bonde of perfectnesse

¹⁶ Let the worde of God dwell in you richly in all wisdome, teachyng and admonisshyng your owne selues, in psalmes, and hymmes, and spirituall songes, singyng with grace in your heartes to the Lorde

³ Without ceassyng, callyng to remembraunce the worke of your fayth, and labour of loue, and patient abidyng in the hope of our Lorde Iesus Christe, in the syght of God and our father

³ Without ceassyng, callyng to remembraunce the worke of your fayth, and labour of loue, and patient abidyng in the hope of our Lorde Iesus Christe, in the syght of God and our father ⁴ Knowyng, brethren beloued, your election of God

¹² That ye woulde walke worthie of God, who hath called you vnto his kyngdome and glorie

¹⁹ For what is our hope, or ioy, or crowne of reioycyng? Are not ye it in the presence of our Lorde Iesus Christe, at his commyng

¹² And the Lorde encrease you, & make you abounde in loue one towarde another, and towarde all men, euen as we also towarde you

¹ Furthermore we besech you brethren, & exhorte you by the Lorde Iesus, that ye encrease more and more, as ye haue receaued of vs, how ye ought to walke and to please God

⁷ For God hath not called vs vnto vncleanenesse, but into holynesse

⁹ But as touchyng brotherly loue, ye nede not that I write vnto you: For ye are taught of God to loue one another ¹⁰ Yea and that thyng veryly ye do vnto all ye brethren which [are] in al Macedonia: But we beseche you brethren, that ye encrease more and more

¹⁵ See that none recompence euyll for euyll vnto any man: but euer folowe that whiche is good, both among your selues, and to all men

³ We are bound to thanke God alwayes for you brethren, as it is meete, because that your fayth groweth exceedyngly, and the loue of euery one of you toward another aboundeth ⁴ So that we our selues reioyce in you in the Churches of God, ouer your pacience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye suffer

⁹ [Euen hym] whose commyng is after the workyng of Satan, in all power & signes, and wonders, of lying

¹³ But we are bounde to geue thankes alway to God for you, brethren beloued of the Lorde, because that God hath fro the begynnyng chosen you to saluation in sanctifiyng of the spirite, & [in] fayth of the trueth ¹⁴ Wherevnto he called you by our Gospell, to the obteyning of the glorie of our Lorde Iesus Christe

¹⁴ Wherevnto he called you by our Gospell, to the obteyning of the glorie of our Lorde Iesus Christe

⁵ And the Lorde guyde your heartes to the loue of God, and to the pacient waytyng for Christe

⁴ Neither geue heede to fables and endlesse genealogies, whiche breede questions, more then godly edifying which is in fayth

⁹ Knowyng this, that the lawe is not geuen vnto a ryghteous man, but vnto the lawlesse and disobedient, to the vngodly and to sinners, to vnholy and vncleane, to murtherers of fathers & murtherers of mothers, to manslears

² For kynges, and for all that are in auctoritie, that we maye leade a quiete and peaceable lyfe, in all godlynesse and honestie

¹⁰ But (that becommeth women professyng godlynesse) through good workes

¹⁶ And without doubt, great is that misterie of godlynesse: God was shewed in the flesshe, was iustified in the spirite, was seene among the angels, was preached vnto the gentiles, was beleued on in the worlde, and was receaued vp in glorie

⁶ Yf thou put the brethren in remembraunce of these thynges, thou shalt be a good minister of Iesus Christ, which hast ben norysshed vp in the wordes of fayth and of good doctrine, which thou hast continually folowed ⁷ But cast away prophane & old wiues fables: Exercise thy selfe rather vnto godlynesse

⁷ But cast away prophane & old wiues fables: Exercise thy selfe rather vnto godlynesse ⁸ For bodyly exercise profiteth litle: but godlinesse is profitable vnto all thinges, hauing promise of the lyfe that is nowe, and of that which is to come

⁸ For bodyly exercise profiteth litle: but godlinesse is profitable vnto all thinges, hauing promise of the lyfe that is nowe, and of that which is to come

¹³ They learne to wander about from house to house idle: yea not idle only, but also tatlers and busybodies, speakyng thynges which are not comely

³ Yf any man teache otherwyse, and consenteth not vnto the wholsome wordes of our Lorde Iesus Christe, and to the doctrine whiche is accordyng to godlynesse

⁶ Godlynesse is great lucre, if a man be content with that he hath

¹¹ But thou O man of God, flee these thynges, and folow after righteousnes, godlynes, faith, loue, pacience, mekenes

⁵ When I call to remembraunce the vnfaigned fayth that is in thee, whiche dwelt first in thy graundmother Lois, and in thy mother Eunica: and I am assured that [it dwelleth] in thee also ⁶ Wherfore I put thee in remebraunce that thou stirre vp the gyft of God, which is in thee by the puttyng on of my handes

⁹ Who hath saued vs, & called vs with an holy callyng, not accordyng to our workes: but accordyng to his owne purpose and grace, which was geuen vs in Christe Iesus, before the world began

² And the thynges that thou haste hearde of me by many witnesses, the same commit thou to faythfull men, which shalbe apt to teache other also

¹⁹ But the strong foundation of God standeth styl, hauyng this seale: The Lorde knoweth the that are his: And, let euery one that nameth the name of Christe, depart from iniquitie

⁵ Hauyng a fourme of godlynesse, but denying the power therof: turne away from these

¹⁵ And that from an infant thou hast knowen the scriptures, which are able to make thee wyse vnto saluation, thorowe fayth which is in Christe Iesus ¹⁶ All scripture is geuen by inspiration of God, and [is] profitable to doctrine, to reproue, to correction, to instruction which is in ryghteousnesse ¹⁷ That the man of God may be perfect, instructed vnto all good workes

⁶ For I am nowe redie to be offered, & the tyme of my dissolution is at hande

⁸ Hencefoorth there is layde vp for me a crowne of ryghteousnesse, which the Lorde, the ryghteous iudge, shall geue me at that day: not to me only, but vnto the also yt haue loued his appearyng

¹ Paul a seruaunt of God, & an Apostle of Iesus Christe, according to the fayth of Gods elect, & the knowledge of ye trueth, whiche is after godlynesse

⁴ To Titus a natural sonne after the common fayth: Grace, mercie, peace, from God the father, and the Lorde Iesus Christe our sauiour

⁸ But a louer of hospitalitie, a louer of goodnes, sober, ryghteous, godly, temperate

¹⁴ Not takyng heede to Iewes fables and comaundementes of men, turnyng from the trueth

² That the elder men be watchyng, graue, sober, sounde in fayth, in loue, in pacience

¹³ Lokyng for that blessed hope and appearyng of the glorie of the great God, and our sauiour Iesus Christe ¹⁴ Which gaue hym selfe for vs, that he myght redeeme vs from all vnryghteousnesse, and pourge vs a peculier people vnto hym selfe, zelous of good workes

¹⁴ And let ours also learne to excell in good workes to necessarie vses, that they be not vnfruitefull

⁶ That the felowshippe of thy fayth may be effectuall in the knowledge of euery good [worke] which is in you, towarde Christe Iesus

³ Who beyng the bryghtnesse of the glorie, and the very image of his substaunce, vpholdyng all thynges with the worde of his power, hauing by him selfe pourged our sinnes, hath syt on the ryght hande of the maiestie on hye

⁷ Wherfore, as the holy ghost saith: Today yf ye wyll heare his voyce

¹¹ Yea and we desire that euery one of you do shewe the same diligence, to the full assuraunce of hope, vnto the ende ¹² That ye faynt not, but be folowers of them which through fayth and pacience inherite the promises

¹⁵ And so after that he had taryed paciently, he enioyed the promise

¹⁷ Wherein God wyllyng very aboundauntly to shewe vnto the heires of promise, the stablenesse of his counsayle, confirmed by an oth

¹⁹ Which [hope] we holde as an ancker of the soule both sure and stedfast, and entryng in, into that thing which is within the vayle

⁶ But nowe hath he obteyned a more excellent office, by howe much also he is the mediatour of a better couenaunt, whiche was confirmed in better promises ⁷ For yf that first [couenaunt] had ben founde fautlesse, then shoulde no place haue ben sought for the seconde ⁸ For in rebukyng them, he saith: Beholde the dayes come, saith the Lord, and I wyll finishe vppon the house of Israel and vppon the house of Iuda a newe couenaunt ⁹ Not lyke that that I made with their fathers, in the day when I toke them by the hande, to leade them out of the lande of Egypt: because they continued not in my couenaunt, and I regarded them not, saith the Lorde ¹⁰ For this is the couenaunt that I wyll make with the house of Israel after those dayes, saith the Lord, geuyng my lawes into their mynde, and in their heart I wyl write them, and I wyll be to them a God, and they shalbe to me a people ¹¹ And they shall not teach euery man his neyghbour, and euery man his brother, saying, knowe the Lorde: for all shall knowe me, from the litle of them to the great of them ¹² For I wyll be mercyfull to their vnrighteousnes, and their sinnes and their iniquities wyll I thynke vpon no more

⁸ The holy ghost this signifiyng, that the waye of holy thinges was not yet opened, whyle as yet the first tabernacle was standyng

¹⁴ Howe much more the blood of Christe, which through the eternall spirite offered hym selfe without spot to God, shall purge your conscience fro dead workes, to serue the lyuyng God ¹⁵ And for this cause is he the mediatour of the newe couenaunt, that through death, which was for the redemption of the transgressions [that were] vnder the first couenaunt, they whiche are called myght receaue the promise of eternall inheritaunce

¹⁵ And the holy ghost also beareth vs recorde: For after that he tolde before

³² Call to remebraunce the former dayes, in the which after ye had receaued light ye endured a great fyght of aduersities

³⁶ For ye haue neede of pacience, that after ye haue done the wyll of God, ye myght receaue the promise

⁴ By fayth Abel offered vnto God a more excellent sacrifice then Cain: by whiche he was witnessed to be ryghteous, God testifiyng of his gyftes: by which also he beyng dead, yet speaketh

⁶ But without fayth it is vnpossible to please hym: For he that cometh to God, must beleue that God is, and that he is a rewarder of them that seeke him

¹ Wherfore, seyng that we are compassed with so great a cloude of witnesses, lay away all that presseth downe, & the sinne that hangeth so fast on, let vs run with patience vnto the battayle that is set before vs

¹⁰ For they veryly, for a fewe dayes, chastened vs after their owne pleasure: but he, for our profite, that we myght be partakers of his holynesse

¹⁵ Takyng heede that no man fall away from the grace of God, lest any roote of bitternesse spryngyng vp, trouble you, and therby many be defyled

¹ Let brotherly loue continue

³ Remember them that are in bondes, as bounde with them: And them which suffer aduersitie, as also ye your selues beyng in the body [suffered aduersitie]

⁹ Be not caryed about with diuers & strange doctrines: For it is a good thing that the heart be stablisshed with grace, & not with meates, which haue not profited the that haue ben occupied therin

³ Knowyng (this) that the trying of your fayth worketh patience

³ Knowyng (this) that the trying of your fayth worketh patience ⁴ And let patience haue [her] perfect worke, that ye may be perfect & sounde, lackyng nothyng

⁸ If ye fulfyll the royal lawe, according to the scripture, thou shalt loue thy neighbour as thy selfe, ye do well

¹⁴ What profiteth it my brethren, though a man say he hath fayth, and hath not deedes? Can fayth saue hym ¹⁵ If a brother or a sister be naked, and destitute of dayly foode ¹⁶ And one of you say vnto them, depart in peace, be you warmed and fylled: notwithstandyng, ye geue them not those thinges which are nedefull to, the body, what shall it profite ¹⁷ Euen so, fayth, yf it haue not deedes, is dead in it selfe ¹⁸ But some man wyll say, thou hast fayth and I haue deedes: shewe me thy fayth by thy deedes, and I wyll shewe thee my faith by my deedes ¹⁹ Beleuest thou that there is one God? Thou doest well. The deuyls also beleue, and tremble ²⁰ But wylt thou knowe, O thou vayne man, that that fayth which is without workes, is dead ²¹ Was not Abraham our father iustified through workes, when he had offered Isaac his sonne vpon the aulter ²² Seest thou not, howe ye faith wrought with his deedes, and through ye deedes was the fayth made perfect ²³ And the scripture was fulfylled, which sayth: Abraham beleued God, and it was reputed vnto hym for ryghteousnesse: And he was called the friende of God ²⁴ Ye see then, howe that of deedes a man is iustified, and not of fayth only ²⁵ Lykewyse also, was not Rahab the harlot iustified through workes, when she had receaued the messengers, and had sent them out another way ²⁶ For as the body without the spirite is dead: euen so, fayth without workes, is dead [also

¹ From whence cometh warre and fightyng among you? come they not here hence, euen of your lustes that fight in your members ² Ye lust, and haue not: Ye enuie, and haue indignation, and can not obtayne: Ye fyght and warre, ye haue not, because ye aske not ³ Ye aske and receaue not, because ye aske amisse, euen to consume it vpon your lustes

⁷ Be patient therfore brethren, vnto the commyng of the Lorde. Beholde, the husbandman wayteth for the precious fruite of the earth, and hath long patience thervpon, vntill he receaue the early and the later rayne ⁸ Be ye also patient therfore, and settle your heartes, for the commyng of the Lorde draweth nye ⁹ Grudge not one agaynst another brethren, lest ye be dampned: Beholde, the iudge standeth before the doore ¹⁰ Take my brethren, the prophetes for an ensample of suffering aduersitie, and of patience, which spake in the name of the Lorde

¹ Peter, an Apostle of Iesus Christ, to them that dwell here and there as straungers, throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia ² Elect accordyng to the foreknoweledge of God the father, vnto the sanctifiyng of the spirite, through obedience & sprinklyng of ye blood of Iesus Christ: Grace & peace be multiplied vnto you

⁵ Which are kept by the power of God through fayth vnto saluation, which is prepared alredie to be shewed in the last tyme

⁷ That the triall of your fayth, beyng much more precious then golde that perisheth, though it be tried with fyre, myght be founde vnto laude, glorie, and honour, at the appearyng of Iesus Christe

¹⁰ Of which saluation haue ye prophetes enquired & searched, which prophesied of the grace that should come vnto you ¹¹ Searchyng when or at what tyme the spirite of Christ which was in them, shoulde signifie, which spirite testified before, the passions that should happen vnto Christe, and the glorie that shoulde folowe after

¹⁵ But as he which called you is holy, euen so be ye holy also in all maner of conuersation

²² Euen ye which haue purified your soules through the spirite in obeying the trueth, with brotherly loue vnfayned, see that ye loue one another with a pure heart feruentlye

⁷ Unto you therfore which beleue, he is precious: but vnto them whiche beleue not, the stone which the buylders refused, the same is made the head of the corner

⁹ But ye are a chosen generation, a royall priesthood, an holy nation, a peculier people: that ye should shewe foorth the vertues of hym that called you out of darknesse into his marueylous lyght

¹⁷ Honour all men. Loue brotherly felowship. Feare God. Honour the kyng

²¹ For herevnto veryly were ye called, for Christe also suffered for vs, leauyng vs an ensample, that ye should folowe his steppes

⁷ Lykewyse ye husbandes dwell with them accordyng to knowledge, geuyng honour vnto the wyfe, as vnto the weaker vessell, and as vnto them that are heires also of the grace of lyfe, that your prayers be not hyndered ⁸ In conclusion, be ye all of one minde, of one heart, loue as brethren, be pitiful, be curteous ⁹ Not rendryng euyl for euyll, or rebuke for rebuke: but contrarywyse blesse, knowyng that ye are therevnto called, euen that ye shoulde be heyres of the blessyng

²¹ To the which also the figure agreeth that nowe saueth vs, euen baptisme, not the puttyng away of the fylth of the fleshe, but in that a good conscience maketh request to God, by the resurrection of Iesus Christe

² That he hence forwarde shoulde lyue, as much tyme as remayneth in ye fleshe, not after the lustes of men, but after the wyll of God ³ For it is sufficient for vs that we haue spent the tyme that is paste of the lyfe, after the wyll of the gentiles, walkyng in wantonnesse, lustes, in excesse of wynes, in excesse of eatyng, in excesse of drynkyng, and abominable idolatrie

¹ The elders which are among you, I exhort, whiche am also an elder, & a wytnesse of the afflictions of Christe, and also a partaker of the glory that shalbe opened

¹⁰ But the God of all grace whiche hath called vs vnto his eternall glory by Christe Iesus, shal his owne selfe, after that ye haue suffred a litle affliction, make you perfite, setle, strength, and stablyshe you

¹² By Syluanus a faythfull brother, vnto you, as I suppose, haue I wrytten briefly, exhortyng and testifiyng, howe that this is the true grace of God, wherin ye stande

¹ Simon Peter, a seruaunt and an Apostle of Iesus Christe, to them which haue obteined lyke precious faith with vs, thorowe the ryghteousnes of our god and sauiour Iesus Christe ² Grace and peace be multiplied vnto you, through the knowledge of God, and of Iesus our Lorde

² Grace and peace be multiplied vnto you, through the knowledge of God, and of Iesus our Lorde ³ Accordyng as his godly power hath geuen vnto vs all thynges that parteine vnto lyfe and godlynesse, through the knowledge of hym that hath called vs vnto glorie and vertue

³ Accordyng as his godly power hath geuen vnto vs all thynges that parteine vnto lyfe and godlynesse, through the knowledge of hym that hath called vs vnto glorie and vertue ⁴ By the which are geuen vnto vs excellent and most great promises, that by the meanes thereof, ye might be partakers of the godly nature, yf ye flee the corruption of worldly lust

⁴ By the which are geuen vnto vs excellent and most great promises, that by the meanes thereof, ye might be partakers of the godly nature, yf ye flee the corruption of worldly lust ⁵ And herevnto geue all diligence: in your fayth minister vertue, in vertue knowledge

⁵ And herevnto geue all diligence: in your fayth minister vertue, in vertue knowledge ⁶ In knowledge temperaunce, in temperaunce pacience, in pacience godlynesse ⁷ In godlynesse brotherly kyndnesse, in brotherly kyndnesse loue ⁸ For yf these thynges be among you, and be plenteous, they wyll make you that ye neither shalbe idle nor vnfruitefull in the knowledge of our Lorde Iesus Christe

¹⁰ Wherfore brethren, geue the more diligence for to make your callyng and election sure: For yf ye do such thynges, ye shall neuer fall

¹² Wherfore I wyll not be negligent to put you alwayes in remembraunce of suche thynges, though ye knowe them your selues, and be stablysshed in the present trueth ¹³ Notwithstandyng I thynke it meete, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stirre you vp by puttyng you in remembraunce ¹⁴ Forasmuch as I am sure that shortly I must put of this my tabernacle, euen as our Lorde Iesus Christe shewed me ¹⁵ I wyll euer also geue my diligence yt ye may haue wherwith to stirre vp the remembraunce of these thynges after my departyng

¹⁸ For when they haue spoken the great swellyng wordes of vanitie, they entice through lustes in the voluptuousnesse of the fleshe, them that were cleane escaped, from them whiche are wrapped in errour ¹⁹ Whyle they promise them libertie, where as they them selues are ye bonde seruauntes of corruption. For of whom a man is ouercome, vnto the same is he brought in bondage ²⁰ For yf they, after they haue escaped from the fylthynesse of the worlde, thorowe the knowledge of the Lord, & the sauiour Iesus Christe, are yet tangled agayne therein, and ouercome, then is the later end worse with them then the begynnyng

²⁰ For yf they, after they haue escaped from the fylthynesse of the worlde, thorowe the knowledge of the Lord, & the sauiour Iesus Christe, are yet tangled agayne therein, and ouercome, then is the later end worse with them then the begynnyng

¹ This is the seconde epistle that I now wryte vnto you, dearely beloued, wherwith I stirre vp & warne your pure myndes

³ This first vnderstande, that there shall come in the laste dayes mockers, whiche wyll walke after their owne lustes

³ This first vnderstande, that there shall come in the laste dayes mockers, whiche wyll walke after their owne lustes ⁴ And say: Where is the promise of his commyng? For sence the fathers dyed, all thynges continue a lyke from the begynnyng of the creation

¹¹ Seyng then that all these thynges shall perisshe, what maner persons ought ye to be in holy conuersation and godlynesse

¹⁴ Wherfore dearely beloued, seyng that ye loke for such thynges, be diligent that ye may be founde of hym in peace, without spot, and vndefyled

¹⁷ Ye therfore beloued, seyng ye be warned afore hande, beware lest ye with other men be also plucked away through the errour of the wicked, and fall from your owne stedfastnesse ¹⁸ But growe in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lorde and sauiour Iesus Christe, to whom be glorie both nowe and for euer. Amen

¹ That whiche was fro the beginning, whiche we haue heard, which we haue seene with our eyes, whiche we haue loked vpo, & our handes haue handeled of, the worde of lyfe ² (And the lyfe appeared, and we haue seene, and beare witnesse, and shewe vnto you that eternall lyfe which was with the father, and appeared vnto vs. ³ That which we haue seene and heard declare we vnto you, that ye also maye haue felowship with vs, and that our felowship may be with the father, and his sonne Iesus Christe

⁷ But and yf we walke in light, euen as he is in lyght, then haue we felowship one with another, and the blood of Iesus Christ his sonne clenseth vs from all sinne

⁹ He that sayth howe that he is in the lyght, and yet hateth his brother, is in darkenesse, euen vntyll this tyme ¹⁰ He that loueth his brother, abydeth in the lyght, and there is none occasion of euyll in hym ¹¹ He that hateth his brother, is in darknesse, and walketh in darkenesse, & can not tell whyther he goeth, because that darkenesse hath blynded his eyes

¹⁵ See that ye loue not the worlde, neither the thynges that are in the worlde. If any man loue the worlde, the loue of the father is not in hym ¹⁶ For all that is in the worlde, as the lust of the fleshe, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the father, but of the worlde

²¹ I haue not written vnto you, as though ye knewe not the trueth: but because ye knowe it, and that no lye is of the trueth

²⁵ And this is the promise that he hath promised vs, euen eternall lyfe

² Dearely beloued, nowe are we the sonnes of God, and yet it doth not appeare what we shalbe: But we knowe that when he shall appeare, we shalbe lyke hym, for we shall see hym as he is

¹⁴ We knowe, that we are translated from death vnto lyfe, because we loue the brethren. He that loueth not his brother, abideth in death

¹⁶ Hereby perceaue we loue, because he layde downe his lyfe for vs, & we ought to lay downe our lyues for the brethren

¹⁹ Hereby we knowe that we are of the trueth, and shall assure our heartes before hym ²⁰ For yf our heart condempne vs, God is greater then our heart, and knoweth all thynges ²¹ Dearely beloued, yf our heart condempne vs not, then haue we boldnesse towarde God

¹⁴ And we haue seene, and do testifie that the father sent the sonne to be the sauiour of the worlde

²¹ And this commaundement haue we of hym: that he which loueth God, shoulde loue his brother also

¹⁰ He that beleueth on the sonne of God, hath the witnesse in hym selfe: He that beleueth not God, hath made hym a lyer, because he beleued not the recorde that God gaue of his sonne

²⁰ We knowe that the sonne of God is come, & hath geuen vs a minde to know hym which is true: and we are in hym that is true, through his sonne Iesus Christe. This same is very God, and eternall lyfe ²¹ Babes kepe your selues from idols. Amen

² For the truthes sake which dwelleth in vs, and shalbe in vs for euer ³ Grace be with you, mercie, and peace from God the father, & from the Lorde Iesus Christe the sonne of the father, in trueth and loue

⁶ Which beare witnesse of thy loue before the Churche. Which brethren, yf thou bryng forwardes of their iourney after a godly sorte, thou shalt do well

¹ Iude the seruaunt of Iesus Christe, the brother of Iames: To them which are called and sanctified in God the father, and preserued in Iesus Christe ² Mercy vnto you, and peace and loue be multiplied ³ Beloued, when I gaue all diligence to write vnto you of the common saluation, it was nedeful for me to write vnto you, to exhorte you, that ye shoulde earnestly contende for the fayth which was once geuen vnto the saintes

⁵ My mynde is therfore to put you in remembraunce: forasmuch as ye once knowe this, howe that the Lorde, after that he had delyuered the people out of Egypt, destroyed the which afterward beleued not

¹⁴ Enoch the seuenth from Adam, prophesied before of such, saying: Beholde, the Lorde shall come with thousandes of saintes

¹⁷ But ye beloued, remember the wordes which were spoken before, of the Apostles of our Lorde Iesus Christe

⁴ Iohn to the seuen Churches in Asia: Grace be vnto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come: and from the seuen spirites which are before his throne

⁷ Beholde, he commeth with cloudes, and all eyes shall see hym, and they also which pearsed hym: And all kinredes of the earth shall wayle before hym. Euen so. Amen

⁹ I Iohn, your brother and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdome and patience of Iesus Christe, was in the Ile that is called Pathmos, for ye worde of God, and for the witnessyng of Iesus Christe

² I knowe thy workes, and thy labour, and thy patience, and howe thou canst not forbeare them which are euyll: and hast examined them which say they are Apostles, and are not, and hast founde them lyers

²⁸ Euen as I receaued of my father, so wyll I geue hym the mornyng starre

¹⁰ Because thou hast kept the wordes of my patience, therfore I wyll kepe thee from the houre of temptation, which wyll come vpon all the worlde, to trie them that dwel vpon the earth ¹¹ Beholde, I come shortly: Holde that which thou haste, that no man take away thy crowne

¹⁷ Because thou sayest, I am riche and increased with goodes, and haue neede of nothyng: & knowest not howe that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poore, and blynde, and naked

²¹ To hym that ouercommeth, wyll I graunt to sitte with me in my throne, euen as I ouercame, and haue sitten with my father in his throne

¹⁰ And hast made vs vnto our God kinges and priestes, and we shall raigne on the earth

¹⁰ He that leadeth into captiuitie, shall go into captiuitie: He that kylleth with a sworde, must be kylled with a sworde. Here is the patience and the fayth of the saintes

¹² Here is the pacience of the saintes: Here are they that kepe the commaundementes of God, and the fayth of Iesus

¹⁰ And I fell at his feete to worship him. And he saide vnto me: See thou do it not, for I am thy felowe seruaunt, and of thy brethren, euen of them that haue the testimonie of Iesus. Worship God: For the testimonie of Iesus, is the spirite of prophesie

¹⁴ Blessed are they that do his commaundementes, that their power may be in the tree of lyfe, and may enter in through the gates into the citie

¹⁶ I Iesus sent myne angell, to testifie vnto you these thynges in ye Churches. I am the roote and the generation of Dauid, and the bryght mornyng starre
