¹⁵ and haue hope towardes God, that the same resurreccion of the deed (which they them selues loke for also) shalbe, both of iust and vniust.

⁶ And now I stande and am iudged for the hope of the promes made of God vnto oure father: ⁷ vnto which promes our twelue tribes (instantly seruyng God daye & night) hope to come. For which hopes sake, kynge Agrippa, I am accused of the Iewes.

²⁷ to whom God wolde make knowen what the gloryous ryches of thys mystery is amonge the Gentyls, which ryches is Chryst in you, the hope of glory,

¹⁶ Let the worde of Chryst dwell in you plenteously with all wysdome. Teache and exhorte youre awne selues, in Psalmes, and hymnes, and spirituall songes syngynge with grace in youre hertes to the Lorde

¹⁶ Oure Lorde Iesu Christ hym selfe, and God and oure father (which hath loued vs, and hath geuen vs euerlastynge consolacyon, and good hope thorowe grace)

¹⁵ This is a true sayinge (and by all meanes worthy to be receaued of vs) that Chryst Iesus came into the worlde, to saue synners, of whom I am chefe.

⁸ From hence forth ther is layde vp for me a crowne of ryghtewesnes, which the Lorde (that is a ryghteous iudge) shall geue me at that daye: not to me onely, but vnto all them also that loue his comminge.

² in the hope of eternall lyfe, which God (that cannot lye) promysed before the worlde beganne:

¹⁹ For the lawe brought nothynge to perfeccion: but was an introduccyon to a better hope, by the whych we drawe nye vnto God.

³ Blessed be God the father of oure Lord Iesus Chryst, whych accordyng to his aboundant mercye begat vs agayne vnto a lyuely hope (by that that Iesus Christ rose agayne from deeth) ⁴ to an inherytaunce immortall and vndefyled, and that perissheth not, reserued in heauen for you,

² & as new borne babes, desyre ye that mylke (not of the body but of the soule) which is wt out disceate that ye maye growe ther by

¹⁴ And this Gospell of the kyngdome shalbe preached in all the worlde, for a wytnes vnto all nacyons, and then shall the ende come.

¹⁹ Go ye therfore, & teach all nacions, baptising them in the name of the father, & of the sonne, & of the holy goost:

⁸ And some fel vpon good grounde, and dyd yelde frute that sprong vp, and grewe, and brought forth, some thyrty folde, and some syxtye folde, and some an hundred folde.

²⁶ And he sayde: so is the kyngdome of God, euen as yf a man shuld sowe sede in the grounde ²⁷ and shulde slepe, and ryse vp nyght and daye: and the sede shuld sprynge and growe vp, while he is not aware. ²⁸ For the earth bryngeth forth frute of her selfe: fyrst the blade, then the eare, after that the full corne in the eare. ²⁹ But whan the frute is brought forth, anone he throusteth in the sykell, because the heruest is come.

¹⁵ And he sayde vnto them: Goo ye into al the worlde, and preache the gospell to all creatures,

²³ But the houre commeth & now is, when the true worshyppers shall worshyppe the father in sprete, & in the treuth. For such the father also requyreth to worshyppe hym.

¹⁶ Ye haue not chosen me, but I haue chosen you, and ordeyned you, to goo, and brynge forth frute, and that your frute shuld remayne, that whatsoeuer ye aske of the father in my name, he maye geue it you.

¹⁸ When they heard this, they helde theyr peace, and glorifyed God, sayinge: then hath God also to the Gentyls graunted repentaunce vnto lyfe.

²⁴ And the worde of God grewe and multiplyed.

¹⁴ And a certayne woman (named Lydia) a seller of purple, of the cytie of Thyatira, which worshypped God, gaue vs audience. Whose hert the Lorde opened, that she attended vnto the thynges, which Paul spake.

¹⁸ to open their eyes, that they maye be turned from darckness to light, and from the power of Satan vnto God, that they maye receaue forgeuenes of synnes, and inheritaunce amonge them whych are sanctified by fayth that is toward me.

¹³ I wolde that ye shuld knowe (brethren) how that I haue often tymes purposed to come vnto you but haue bene let hitherto, to haue some frute also amonge you, as among other of the Gentyls.

¹⁷ So then fayth cometh by hearynge, and hearynge cometh by the worde of God. ¹⁸ But I aske: haue they not herde? No dout, their sounde went out into all landes: and their wordes into the endes of the worlde.

¹⁹ in myghty sygnes & wonders, by the power of the sprete of God: so that from Ierusalem & the coastes rounde aboute vnto Illyrycum, I haue fylled all countres with the Gospell of Christ.

²⁸ When I haue performed this, and haue brought them this frute sealed, I wyll come backe agayne by you into Spayne.

²⁶ but now is opened by the scriptures of the prophetes at the commaundement of the euerlastynge God, to stere vp obedience to the fayth, publysshed amonge all nacions:

¹⁰ But by the grace of God, I am that I am. And his grace which is in me, was not in vayne: But I labored moare aboundauntly then they all, yet not I, but the grace of God which is with me ¹¹ therfore whether it were I or they, so we preach, & so haue ye beleued.

¹ We also as helpers exhorte you that ye receaue not the grace of God in vayne.

¹⁴ For we stretch not out our selues beyonde measure, as though we reached nott vnto you. For euen to you also haue we come wt the gospell of Christ,

² If ye haue hearde of the ministracyon of the grace of God which is geuen me to you warde.

²¹ If so be that ye haue hearde of him, and haue bene taught in him, as the trueth is in Iesu:

²³ To be renued also in the sprete of youre mynde,

⁹ (For the frute of the sprete consysteth in all goodnes, and ryghtewesnes and trueth.)

¹¹ beynge fylled with the frute of ryghtewesnes, which cometh by Iesus Christ vnto the glory and prayse of God.

¹⁷ not that I desire gyftes: but I desyre aboundant frute on youre parte.

¹⁰ that ye myght walke worthy of the Lorde that in all thinges ye maye please beynge frutefull in all good workes, and encreasynge in the knowledge of God,

⁵ For oure Gospel came not vnto you by worde onely, but also by power, and by the holy goost, and by moch certayntye, as ye knowe, after what maner we be haued oure selues amonge you, for your sake.

¹³ But we are bounde to geue thankes alwey to God for you (brethren beloued of the Lorde) for because that God hath from the begynnynge chosen you to saluacyon, thorowe sanctifyinge of the sprete, and thorow beleuing of the trueth,

¹¹ For the grace of God, that bryngeth saluacyon vnto all men, hath appeared ¹² and teacheth vs that we shulde denye vngodlynes and worldy lustes, & that we shulde lyue soberly, and ryghteously, and godly in thys present worlde,

² accordyng to the for knowledge of God the farthe thorow the sanctifynge of the sprete vnto obedience & sprincklyng of the bloude of Iesus Chryst. Grace be wyth you and peace be multiplyed. ³ Blessed be God the father of oure Lord Iesus Chryst, whych accordyng to his aboundant mercye begat vs agayne vnto a lyuely hope (by that that Iesus Christ rose agayne from deeth)

¹² By Syluanus a faythfull brother vnto you (as I suppose) haue I wrytten brefly, exhortynge and testifyinge, how that thys is the true grace of God, wherin ye stande.

⁷ My seruaunt Moses is not so, which is faithfull in all myne house.

⁴⁵ Who is a faythfull & wyse seruaunt, whom his Lorde hath made ruler ouer his housholde, to geue them meate in season.

²¹ His Lord sayde vnto him: well thou good and faythfull seruaunt. Thou hast bene faythfull ouer fewe thinges, I wyll make the ruler ouer many thinges: entre thou into the ioye of thy Lorde.

² Furthermore it is required of the stewardes, that a man be founde faythfull.

²⁵ As concernynge virgins, I haue no commaundement of the Lorde: yet geue I counsell, as one that hath obtayned mercye of the Lord, to be faythfull.

²³ They are the mynisters of Chryst (I speake as a foole) I am more. In labours more aboundante: In strypes aboue measure: In preson more plenteouslye: In deeth ofte.

²¹ submittynge youre selues one to another in the feare of God.

¹⁹ I trust in the Lorde Iesus, for to sende Timotheus shortly vnto you, that I also maye be of good comforte, when I knowe what case ye stande in. ²⁰ For I haue no man that is so lyke mynded to me, which with so pure affeccyon wyll care for youre matters. ²¹ For all other seke theyr awne, and not the thynges which are Iesus Christes. ²² ye knowe the proffe of hym, howe that as a sonne with the father, so hath he with me bestowed hys seruice in the Gospell.

²⁵ But I supposed it necessary to sende brother Epaphroditus vnto you, my companion in laboure and felowe souldier, youre Apostell, which also ministreth vnto me at nede.

⁷ Of all my busynes shal ye be certified by Tichicus, the beloued brother and faythful mynyster and felowe seruaunt in the Lord,

¹² Epaphras the seruaunt of Chryst, (which is one of you) saluteth you, and all wayes laboureth feruently for you in prayers, that ye maye stande perfect and full, in all the wyll of God.

⁶ If thou put the brethren in remembraunce of these thynges thou shalt be a good mynyster of Iesu Chryst whych hast bene norisshed vp in the wordes of the fayth & of good doctrine, whych thou hast continually followed.

² and in the thynges that thou hast hearde of me by many wytnesses. The same commytte thou to faythfull men, which shalbe apte to teach other also.

²³ Ther salute the, Epaphras my felowe presoner in Christ Iesu,

¹⁷ Wherfore, in all thynges it became hym to be made lyke vnto his brethren, that he myght be mercyfull, and a faythfull hye Preste in thynges concernynge God, for to pourge the peoples synnes.

² howe that he is faythfull vnto hym that put hym in the offyce, euen as was Moses in all his house.

⁵ And hope maketh not ashamed: because the loue of God is sheed abroad in oure hertes, by the holy ghost whych is geuen vnto vs.

³⁰ I beseche you brethren for oure Lord Iesus Christes sake, and for the loue of the sprete, that ye helpe me in my busynes with youre prayers to God for me,

²² Contrarely, the frute of the sprete is, loue, ioye, peace, longe sufferinge, gentylnes, goodnes, faythfulnes,

⁴ For we haue hearde of your fayth in Christ Iesu, and of the loue which ye beare to all saynctes,

⁷ For God hath not geuen to vs the sprete of feare: but of power, and of loue, and of sobrenes.

²² euen ye whych haue purifyed youre soules thorow the sprete, in obeynge the trueth wyth brotherly loue vnfayned, se that ye loue one another wyth a pure hert feruently:

²³ Moreouer God forbydde, that I shulde synne agaynst the Lorde, and ceasse prayeng for you, but to shewe you the good & ryght waye.

⁹⁹ I haue more vnderstandynge than my teachers, for thy testimonies are my studie.

¹⁰ Teach me to do the thynge that pleaseth the, for thou art my God, let thy louinge sprete leade me forthe vnto the lande of ryghteousnes.

¹⁷ If eny man wyll be obedient vnto his wyll, he shall knowe of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speake of my selfe.

⁵ And Peter was kepte in preson. But prayer was made without ceasynge of the congregacyon, vnto God for hym.

⁸ Fyrst verely I thanke my God thorow Iesus Chryst for you all, that youre fayth is spoken of in all the worlde. ⁹ For God is my wytnes (whom I serue. Wyth my sprete in the Gospell of hys sonne) that wythout ceasynge I make mencyon of you prayinge allwayes in my prayers, ¹⁰ that by some meane, at the last (one tyme or other) a prospesperous iorney (by the wyll of God) myght fortune me, to come vnto you.

² & fassyon not youre selues lyke vnto this worlde: but be ye chaunged in youre shape, by the renuyng of your mynde, that ye maye proue what thynge that good, and acceptable, and perfaycte wyll of God is.

⁵ that in all thynges ye are made ryche by hym, in all vtteraunce & in all knowlegde,

⁸ wherof he hath minystred vnto vs aboundantlye in all wisdome and prudence.

¹⁵ Wherfore I also (after that I hearde of the fayth, which ye haue in the Lorde Iesu, & loue vnto all the saynctes) ¹⁶ cease not to geue thankes for you, makynge mencyon of you in my prayers: ¹⁷ that the God of oure Lorde Iesus Chryst, the father of glory, maye geue vnto you the sprete of wysdome and reuelacyon, by the knowledge of him selfe, ¹⁸ and lyghten the eyes of youre myndes, that ye maye knowe what the hope is, where vnto he hath called you, and howe riche the glorye is of his inheritaunce vpon the saynctes, ¹⁹ and what is the excedinge greatnes of his power to vs warde, which beleue accordynge to the workynge of that his mighty power, ²⁰ which he wrought in Christ, when he raysed him from the deed, and set him on his ryght hande in heauenly thinges,

¹⁰ Searchynge what is acceptable vnto the Lorde.

¹⁷ Wherfore, be ye not vnwyse, but vnderstande what the wyll of the Lorde is,

⁶ not doynge seruice vnto the eye, as they that go about to please men: but as the seruauntes of Christ, doynge the wyll of God from the herte

⁴ all wayes in all my prayers for you, and praye with gladnes:

³ We geue thankes to God the father of oure Lorde Iesus Christ alwayes for you in oure prayers. ⁴ For we haue hearde of your fayth in Christ Iesu, and of the loue which ye beare to all saynctes,

⁶ which is come vnto you: euen as it, is frutefull as it is also amonge you, from the daye in the which ye hearde of it, and had experience in the grace of God thorowe the trueth,

⁵ Walke wysely towarde them that are without, and lose no oportunite.

¹⁷ Praye contynually.

¹¹ Wherfore, also we praye allwayes for you, that our God will make you worthy of this calling, & fulfyll all delectacyon of goodnes & the worcke of fayth, wt power:

³ I thanke God, whom I serue from myne elders with pure conscience, that without anye ceasynge I make mencyon of the in my prayers nyght and daye, ⁴ desyringe to se the, myndefull of thy teares: so that I am fylled with ioye,

⁴ I thanke my God, makynge mencyon all wayes of the in my prayers,

³⁶ For ye haue nede of pacyence, that after ye haue done the wyll of God, ye myght receaue the promes.

²¹ make you parfect in all good workes, to do hys wyll, and bryng to passe, that the thyng which ye do, maye be pleasaunt in his syght thorowe Iesus Christ. To whom be prayse for euer whyle the world endureth. Amen.

⁵ If eny of you lacke wysdome, let hym aske of him that geueth it: euen God, which geueth to all men indifferentlye, and casteth no man in the teeth: and it shalbe geuen him.

¹⁷ But the wysdome that is from aboue, is first pure, then peasable, gentle, & easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good frutes, without iudging, without simulacion:

¹⁵ For so is the wyll of God, that wyth well doyng ye maye stoppe the mouthes of foolysh & ignoraunt men:

² that he hence forwarde shulde lyue (as moch tyme as remayneth in the flesshe) not after the lustes of men, but after the wyll of God.

¹⁷ And the worlde passeth awaye and the lust therof: but he that fulfylleth the will of God, abydeth for euer.

²⁰ We knowe, that the sonne of God is come, and hath geuen vs a mynde to knowe hym which is true: & we are in hym that is true, through is sonne Iesu Christ. This same is very God, and eternall lyfe.

⁷ When a mans wayes please the Lorde, he maketh his very enemyes to be his frendes.

¹¹ With trauayle & laboure of hys soule, shall he optayne frute, and he shall be satisfyed by the knowledge of hym whych is my ryghteous seruaunt he shall iustifye the multitude, for he shall beare awaye theyr synnes.

⁴ And thou O Daniel, shut vp these wordes, and seale the boke tyll the last time Many shall go aboute here and there, and then shall knowledge increase.

⁵ Therfore, where as all the people haue walcked euery man in the name of hys awne God, we wyll walcke in the name of oure God for euer and euer.

¹⁴ For the earth shalbe full of knowledge of the Lordes honoure, lyke as the waters that couer the see.

⁸ Herin is my father glorifyed: that ye beare moch frute, and become my disciples.

³ This is lyfe eternal, that they might knowe the, the onely true God, & Iesus Christ whom thou hast sent.

¹² and that he myght be father of circumcisyon, not vnto them onely whych came of the circumcised, but vnto them also that walke in the steppes of the fayth that was in oure father Abraham, before the tyme of circumcisyon.

⁴ We are buryed then with him by baptyme, for to dye: that lyke wyse as Christ was raysed vp from deeth by the glorye of the father, euen so we also shulde walke in a newe lyfe.

¹⁴ Thankes be vnto God, which alwayes geueth vs the victorie in Christ, and openeth the sauer of his knowledge by vs in euery place.

⁶ For it is God, that commaunded the lyght to shyne out of darcknes, which hath shyned in oure hertes, for to geue the lyght of the knowledge of the glory of God, in the face of Iesus Christ.

⁸ God is able to make you riche in all grace that ye in all thynges hauynge sufficyent vnto the vtmost, maye be riche vnto all maner of good workes,

²² Contrarely, the frute of the sprete is, loue, ioye, peace, longe sufferinge, gentylnes, goodnes, faythfulnes, ²³ mekenes, temperauncye. Agaynst suche there is no lawe.

¹⁷ that the God of oure Lorde Iesus Chryst, the father of glory, maye geue vnto you the sprete of wysdome and reuelacyon, by the knowledge of him selfe,

¹⁰ For we are his worckmanshyppe, created in Chryst Iesu vnto good workes, whiche God ordeyned, that we shulde walke in them.

¹ I therfore (which am a presonner of the Lordes) exhorte you, that ye walke worthy of the vocacyon wherwith ye are called,

¹³ tyll we all come to the vnitye of fayth, and knowledge of the sonne of God, vnto a perfecte man, vnto the measure of the full perfecte age of Chryst

² and walke ye in loue euen as Christ loued vs, and gaue him selfe for vs an offerynge and a sacrifyce of a swete sauer to God

¹⁵ Take hede therfore howe ye walke circumspectly: not as vnwyse, but as wyse men.

²⁷ Onely let youre conuersacyon be, as it be commeth the Gospell of Christ: that whether I come & se you, or els be absent, I maye yet heare of youre condicyon, that ye contynue in one sprete, and in one soule, labourynge as we do, to mayntayne the fayth of the Gospell,

¹⁸ Neuertheles I receaued all, and haue plentie. I was euen fylled after that I receaued of Epaphroditus the thinges, which were sent from you, an odoure of a swete smell a sacrifyce accepted and pleasaunt to God.

⁶ As ye haue therfore receaued Christ Iesu the Lorde euen so walke ye in hym,

¹⁹ & holdeth not the heed, wherof all the body by ioyntes and couples receaueth norisshment & is knet together, and encreaseth with the increasynge that commeth of God.

²⁰ Ye chyldren, obey youre fathers and mothers in all thinges, for that is well pleasynge vnto the Lorde.

¹² that ye wolde walke worthy of God, whych hath called you vnto his kyngdome and glorye.

¹ Furthermore, we beseche you (brethren) and exhorte you by the Lord Iesus, that ye increace more & more euen as ye haue receaued of vs, how ye ought to walcke and to please God.

⁴ No man that warreth, entanglyth hym selfe wyth worldly busynes, and that because he maye please hym, whych hath chosen hym to be a soudier.

¹ Warne them that they submytte them selues to rule & power: that they obey the officers: that they be ready vnto euery good worke:

¹⁴ And let oures also learne to excell in good workes, as farforth as nede requyreth, that they be not vnfrutefull.

⁵ By fayth was Enoch translated, that he shulde not se deeth: nether was he founde: for god had taken him awaye. For a fore he was taken awaye, he obteyned a good reporte, that he pleased God:

¹⁶ To do good & to distribute, forget not, for wt such sacrifyces God is pleased.

² Grace be vnto you, and peace be multiplyed thorow the knowledge of God and of Iesus oure Lorde. ³ Accordynge as his godly power hath geuen vnto vs all thinges that pertayne vnto lyfe and godlynes, thorow the knowledge of him that hath called vs by glory, and vertue,

⁸ For yf these thynges be amonge you, and be plenteous, thy wyll make you that ye nether shalbe ydle nor vnfrutefull in the knowledge of oure Lorde Iesus Christ.

¹⁸ but growe in grace, & in the knowledge of oure Lorde and sauyoure Iesus Christ. To whom be glory both now and for euer. Amen.

²² & what soeuer we aske we receaue of hym, because we kepe his commaundementes, & do those thinges which are pleasinge in his syght.

⁶ Thy ryght hande Lorde, is become glorious in power: thy ryght hande Lorde hath all to dashed the enemy.

² My soule thrusteth for the: my flesh also longeth after the in a baren and drye lande, where no water is.

¹⁰ If thou be ouersene and negligent in tyme of nede, then is thy strength but smal.

²⁴ saying. Uerely, in the Lord is my ryghteousnes and strength. To him shal men come: but all they that thincke scorne of him, shalbe confounded.

⁸ but ye shal receaue power after that the holy goost is come vpon you. And ye shalbe witnesses vnto me not onely in Ierusalem, but also in all Iewry and in Samary, and euen vnto the worldes ende.

⁴¹ And they departed from the counsell, I reioysinge, that they were counted worthy, to suffre rebuke for his name.

⁷ that is to saye, prayse, honoure and immortalite, to them whych contynue in good doyng; and seke immortalite.

³ Not that onely: but also we reioyce in tribulacyons: knowyng that tribulacyon bryngeth pacience, ⁴ pacience bryngeth experience, experience bryngeth hope. ⁵ And hope maketh not ashamed: because the loue of God is sheed abroad in oure hertes, by the holy ghost whych is geuen vnto vs.

⁷ But we haue this treasure in erthen vessels, that the excellency of the power myght be Gods, and not oures.

⁴ but in all thynges let vs behaue oure selues as the minysters of God. In moch pacience, in affliccyons, in necessitees in anguysshes, ⁵ in strypes, in presonmentes: in stryfes: in laboures, in watchynges, in fastynges, ⁶ in purenes, in knowledge, in longe suffring, in kyndenes, in the holy ghost, in loue vnfayned,

⁹ For this thynge besought I the Lorde thryse, that it might departe from me. ¹⁰ And he sayde vnto me: my grace is sufficient for the. For my strength is made parfect thorow weaknes. Uery gladly therfore wyll I reioyce of my weaknes, that the strength of Christ maye dwell in me.

¹⁶ that he wolde graunt you accordynge to the ryches of hys glorye, that ye maye be strengthed with might by his sprete in the inner man,

² with all lowlynes and mekenesse, with humblenes of mynde, forbearynge one another thorowe loue,

¹⁰ Finally my brethren, be stronge thorowe the Lorde and thorowe the power of his myght.

¹³ I can do all thinges thorowe Christ which strengtheneth me.

³ that no man shulde be moued in these affliccyons, For ye your selues knowe, that we are euen apoynted there vnto. ⁴ For when we were wyth you, we tolde you before, that we shude suffre tribulacyon, euen as it came to passe, and as ye knowe.

¹ Thou therfore my sonne, be stronge in the grace (that is thorow Christ Iesu) ² and in the thynges that thou hast hearde of me by many wytnesses. The same commytte thou to faythfull men, which shalbe apte to teach other also. ³ Thou therfore suffre afflyccyons as a good soudier of Iesu Chryst.

³⁴ For ye became parttakers also of the afflyccyons whych happened thorow my bondes, & toke in worth the spoylyng of your goodes, & that wyth gladnes: knowynge in your selues, how that ye haue in heauen a better & an enduring substaunce. ³⁵ Cast not awaye therfore your confydence, whych hath a great recompence of rewarde. ³⁶ For ye haue nede of pacyence, that after ye haue done the wyll of God, ye myght receaue the promes. ³⁷ For yet a very lytell whyle, & he that shall come wyll come, & wyll not tary. ³⁸ But the iust shall lyue by faith. And yf he withdrawe him selfe, my soule shall haue no pleasure in him.

³⁴ quenched that violence of fyre: escaped the edge of the swearde: out of weaknesse, were made stronge: waxed valient in fyght: turned to flight the armyes of the alientes ³⁵ the wemen receaued theyr deed raysed to lyfe agayne. Other were racked, & wolde not be delyuered, that they myght inheret a better resurrection. ³⁶ Agayne, other were tried wt mockynges & scourginges moreouer, wt bondes & presonment: ³⁷ were stoned, were hewen asunder, were tempted, were slayne wt swearde, walked vp & downe in shepe skynnes, and goates skynnes, being destitute, troubled & vexed: ³⁸ which men that worlde was not worthy of: they wandred in wildernesses: & in mountaynes, and in dennes, and caues of erth.

¹ Wherfore, let vs also (seyng that we are compassed with so great a multitude of witnesses) laye awaye all that presseth doune, and the synne that hangeth so fast on, let vs runne with pacience vnto the battayle that is set before vs, ² lookyng vnto Iesus the captayne & finissher of our fayth, which (for the ioye that was set before him) abode the crosse, & despised the shame, & is set downe on the ryghte hande of the throne of God.

² My brethren, count it for an excedyng ioye, when ye fall into diuers temptacyons: ³ knowyng this, that the trying of your fayth gendreth pacience: ⁴ and let pacience haue her parfect worke, that ye maye be parfecte and sounde, lackyng nothyng.

⁷ Be pacient therfore brethren, vnto the commynge of the Lord. Beholde, the husbande man wayteth for the precyous frute of the earth, & hath longe pacience ther vpon, vntyll he receaue the early & the latter rayne. ⁸ Be ye also pacient therfore, and settle youre hertes, for the commynge of the Lorde draweth nye.

⁶ in knowledge temperaunce, in temperaunce pacience: in pacience godlynes,

²⁵ to God oure sauyour: which onely is wyse be glory, maiestye, dominion, and power, now and euer. Amen.

¹² Here is the pacyence of saynctes Heare are they that kepe the commaundementes and the fayth of Iesu.

⁷ And the house was buylt of stone, made perfecte allready before it was brought thyther, so that there was neither hammer, ner axe, ether any tole of yron heard in the house, whyle it was in buyldinge.

²⁰ And Dauid sayde to all the congregacyon: Nowe blesse the Lorde youre God. And all the congregacion blessed the Lorde God of their fathers, and bowed downe their heades and worshypped the Lorde and the kynge.

⁹ For with the is the well of lyfe, and in thy lyght, shall we se lyght.

¹³ And for the blasphemy (wherwith oure neyghbours haue blasphemed the) rewarde thou them, O Lorde, seuen folde into their bosome. So we, that be thy people and shepe of thy pasture, shall geue the thanckes for euer, and wyl alwaye be shewynge forth thy prayse from generacion to generacion.

¹¹ There is spronge vp a lyght for the ryghteous, and a ioyfull gladnesse for soch as be true herted.

²¹ O that men wold therfore prayse the Lorde for hys goodnesse, and declare the wonders that he doth for the chyldren of men. ²² That they wold offre vnto hym the sacrifyce of thanckesgeuyng, and tell out hys worckes wt gladnes.

⁷ Turne agayne then vnto thy rest, O my soule, for the Lorde hath rewarded the.

¹⁸ The pathe of the ryghtewes shyneth as the lyght, that is euer brighter and brighter vnto the perfect daye.

¹ A Man maye well purpose a thynge in hys herte, but the answere of the tonge commeth of the Lorde.

¹⁹ The Sunne shall neuer be thy daye lyght, and the lyght of the Moone shall neuer shyne vnto the: but the Lorde him selfe shalbe thyne euerlastyng lyght, and thy God shalbe thy glory. ²⁰ Thy Sunne shall neuer go downe, and thy Moone shall not be hydde, for the Lorde hym selfe shalbe thy euerlastynge lyght, and thy sorowfull dayes shalbe ended.

²³ I thancke the, & prayse the (O thou God of my fathers) that thou hast lent me wysdome & strength, & hast shewed me the thynge, that we desyred of the, for thou hast opened the kynges matter vnto me.

³⁴ Then shall the Kynge saye to them that shalbe on hys ryghte hande: Come ye blessed of my father, inheret the kyngdome prepared for you from the begynninge of the worlde.

⁶ Iesus sayeth vnto hym: I am the waye and the treuth, and the lyfe. No man cometh vnto the father, but by me.

¹⁷ Iesus sayeth vnto her, touche me not, for I am not yet ascended to my father. But go to my brethren, & saye vnto them? I ascende vnto my father & youre father: & to my God, & youre God.

³² And now brethren, I commende you to God and to the worde of his grace, which is able to build farther, & to geue you an inheritaunce amonge all them which are sanctifyed

¹⁷ If we be sonnes, then are we also heyres, the heyres I meane of God, & heyres anexed with Chryst yf so be that we suffer with hym, that we maye be also glorified together with hym.

²⁹ For those which he knewe before, he also ordeyned before, that they shulde be lyke fassyoned vnto the shape of hys sonne, that he myght be the fyrst begotten sonne amonge many brethren. ³⁰ Moreouer, whom he appoynted before, them also he called. And whom he hath called, them also he iustyfyed: and whom he iustyfyed, them he also gloryfyed.

²³ and to declare the ryches of hys glory on the vessels of mercye, which he had prepared vnto glorye:

¹⁷ Though some of the braunches be broken of, and thou beynge a wylde olyue tree, wast graft in among them, and made partaker of the rote and fatnes of the olyue tree,

²⁷ It hath pleased them verely, and their detters are they. For yf the Gentyls be made partetakers of their spirituall thynges, their dutie is to minyster vnto them in bodyly thinges.

⁶ yet vnto vs is there but one God, which is the father, of whom are all thinges, & we for him & one Lord Iesus Christ, by whom are all thinges, and we by him.

²³ And this I do for the gospels sake, that I myght haue my parte therof.

⁵ He that hath ordeyned vs for this thynge, is God: which very same hath geuen vnto vs the ernest of the sprete.

¹¹ euen by hym by whom we are made heyres, and were therto predestinate accordynge to the purpose of hym by whose power all thynges are wrought accordinge to the purpose of hys awne wyll:

¹⁸ and lyghten the eyes of youre myndes, that ye maye knowe what the hope is, where vnto he hath called you, and howe riche the glorye is of his inheritaunce vpon the saynctes,

⁶ that the Gentyls shulde be inheritours also, and of the same body, and partetakers of hys promes in Christ, by the meanes of the Gospell,

⁶ one God and father of all, which is aboue all and thorowe all, and in you all.

⁴ or fylthines or folysshe talkynge, or iestinge, which are not comly: but rather geuynge of thankes.

²⁰ gyuynge thankes allwayes for all thynges, vnto God the father in the name of oure Lorde Iesus Chryst,

¹⁵ And the peace of God rule in youre hertes: to the which peace ye are called in one body. And se that ye be thankfull.

¹⁷ And whatsouer ye do (in worde or dede) do all in the name of the Lord Iesu, geuynge thankes to God the father by hym.

¹⁴ whych gaue him selfe for vs, to redeme vs from all vnryghtewesnes, and to pourge vs a peculyer people vnto hym selfe feruently geuen vnto good workes.

¹ Therfore holy brethren, partakers of the celestiall callynge consyder the ambassadour and hye preste of oure professyon Christ Iesus,

¹⁴ We are made partetakers of Christ, yf we kepe sure (vnto the ende) the begynnynge of the substance,

²³ and vnto the congregacion of the fyrst borne sonnes; whych are wrytten in heauen, and to God, the iudge of all, & to the spretes of iust and parfecte men,

⁹ Ther wt blesse we God the father, and therwith cursse wemen, which are made after the symilitude of God.

² accordyng to the for knowledge of God the farthe thorow the sanctifynge of the sprete vnto obedience & sprincklyng of the bloude of Iesus Chryst. Grace be wyth you and peace be multiplyed. ³ Blessed be God the father of oure Lord Iesus Chryst, whych accordyng to his aboundant mercye begat vs agayne vnto a lyuely hope (by that that Iesus Christ rose agayne from deeth) ⁴ to an inherytaunce immortall and vndefyled, and that perissheth not, reserued in heauen for you, ⁵ whych are kept by the power of of God thorow fayth, vnto saluacion, whych is prepared allready to be shewed in the last tyme,

¹ The elders which are amonge you, I exhorte, which am also an elder, and a wytnes of the affliccyons of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shalbe opened:

³ That which we haue sene & herde, declare we vnto you, that ye also maye haue fellowshyppe with vs, and that oure felloushyppe maye be wyth the father and his sonne Iesus Christ.

¹ Beholde, what loue the father hath shewed on vs, that we shuld be called the the sonnes of God. For this cause the worlde knoweth you not, because it knoweth not hym. ² Dearely beloued, now are we the sonnes of God & yet it doth not appeare, what we shalbe. But we knowe, that when it shall appeare, we shalbe lyke him. For we shall se hym as he is. ³ And euery man that hath this hope in him, pourgeth him selfe, euen as he also is pure.

²³ And the cytie hath no nede of the sonne, nether of the mone to lighten it. For the brightnes of God dyd lyght it, and the lambe was the lyght of it.

⁵ And there shall be no nyght there, & they nede no candle, nether light of the sunne: for the Lorde God geueth them lyght, and they shall raygne for euermore.

¹⁴ Blessed are they that do his commaundementes, that theyr power maye be in the tree of lyfe, and maye entre in thorow the gates into the cytie.

⁶ Yet haue I set my kynge vpon my holy hyll of Syon. ⁷ I wyll preach the lawe, wherof the Lorde hath sayd vnto me: thou arte my sonne, thys daye haue I begotten the.

⁶ For vnto vs a chylde is borne, & vnto vs a sonne is geuen. Upon hys shoulder doth the kyngdome lye, and he is called wt hys awne name: wonderfull. The geuer of councell, the myghtye God, the euerlasting father, the prince of peace, ⁷ he shall make no ende to encrease the kyngdome & peace, & shall syt vpon the seate of Dauid & in his kyngdome, to set vp the same, & to stablish it wt equyte and ryghteousnesse, from hence forth for euermore. Thys shall the gelousy of the Lorde of Hostes brynge to passe.

¹ Beholde, this is my seruaunte vpon whom I leane, myne electe, In whom my soule is pacifyed. I haue geuen hym my sprete, that he maye shewe forth iudgement and equitye among the Gentiles.

²⁴ Who spoyled the gyaunte of his praye? or who taketh the presoner from the mightye? ²⁵ And therfore, thus sayeth the Lorde. The prisoners shalbe taken from the gyaunte, and the spoyle delyuered from the violente: for I wyll maynteyne thy cause agaynst thyne aduersaryes, and saue thy sonnes.

¹² Therfore wyll I geue hym the multitude for hys parte, and he shall deuyde the spoyle wyth the strongest because he geueth ouer hys soule to death, and is rekened amonge the transgressours, whych neuertheles hath taken awaye the synnes of the multitude, and made intercessyon for the mysdoers.

¹³ I sawe in a visyon by nyght, and beholde, there came one in the cloudes of heauen lyke the sonne of a man, which wente vnto the olde aged, before whom they brought him. ¹⁴ Then gaue he him power & dignite regall, that all people, trybes and tunges shulde serue him. His power is an euerlastinge power, which shall neuer be put downe: & his kyngdome endureth uncorrupte.

⁹ Reioyce thou greatly, O daughter Syon be glad, O daughter Ierusalem. For lo, thy kynge commeth vnto the, euen the ryghteous and Sauioure, Lowly & symple is he, he rydeth vpon an asse, & vpon the foale of an asse.

¹⁷ And loo, there came a voyce from heauen saienge. Thys is my beloued sonne, in whom I am well pleased.

²⁹ Or els how can one enter into a strong mannes house, and spoyle his Iewels, excepte he fyrst bynde the stronge man, and then spoyle his house? ³⁰ He that is not with me, is agaynst me. And he that gathereth not with me, scattereth abrode.

⁵ Whyle he yet spake, behold, a bright cloude shadowed them And beholde, there came a voyce out of the cloude whych sayd this is my beloued sonne in whom I delyte heare hym.

²⁴ stryue to enter in at the strayte gate; for many (I saye vnto you) will seke to enter in, and shall not be able.

⁵³ When I was dayly wyth you in the temple, ye stretched forth no handes agaynst me. But thys is euen youre very houre, and the power of darcknes.

³⁵ The father loueth the sonne & hath geuen all thynges into hys hande

²⁴ Uerely, verely I saye vnto you. He that heareth my worde, & beleueth on him that sent me, hath euerlasting lyfe, and shall not come into damnacyon: but is scaped from deeth vnto lyfe.

³¹ Now is the iudgment of this worlde: now shall the prince of thys worlde be cast out. ³² And I (yf I were lyft vp from the erth) will drawe all men vnto me.

²⁴ Father, I will that they which thou hast geuen me be with me where I am, that they maye se my glory, which thou hast geuen me. For thou louedest me before the makyng of the worlde.

¹⁷ God be thanked, that though ye were the seruauntes of synne, ye haue yet obeyed with herte vnto the rule of the doctryne, that ye be brought vnto. ¹⁸ Ye are then made fre from synne, and are become the seruauntes of ryghtewesnes. ¹⁹ I speake grosly, because of the infirmytie of youre fleshe. As ye haue geuen youre members seruauntes to vnclennes and to iniquitye, (from one iniquitye to another) euen so now geue ouer youre members seruauntes vnto ryghtewesnes, that ye maye be sanctifyed. ²⁰ For when ye were the seruauntes of synne, ye were voyde of ryghtewesnes. ²¹ What frute had ye then in those thynges, wherof ye are now asshamed. For the ende of those thynges, is deeth. ²² But now are ye delyuered from synne, & made the seruauntes of God, and haue youre frute to be sanctifyed, and the ende euerlastynge lyfe.

¹⁷ For the kyngdome of God is not meate and drynke: but ryghtwesnes, and peace and ioye in the holy ghost.

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, ¹⁰ nether theues, nether couetouse, nether dronkardes, nether cursed speakers, nether pyllers, shall inheret the kyngdome of God. 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.

²³ but euery man in his awne order. The fyrst is Christ, then they that are Christes at his commynge. ²⁴ Then commeth the ende, when he hath delyuered vp the kyngdome to God the father, when he hath put downe all rule and all auctorite & power. ²⁵ For he must raygne tyll he haue put all his enemyes vnder his fete.

⁴ in whom the God of this world hath blynded the myndes of them which beleue not, lest the lyght of the gospell of the glory of Christ (whych is the ymage of God) shulde shyne vnto them.

¹⁷ Wherfore come out from amonge them, and separate youre selues from them (sayth the Lorde) and touche none vncleane thynge: so wyll I receaue you, ¹⁸ and wylbe a father vnto you, and ye shalbe my sonnes & daughters, sayth the Lorde allmyghty.

⁶ to the prayse of the glory of hys grace, wherwith he hath made vs accepted thorowe the beloued.

³ amonge whom we all had oure conuersacyon also in tyme past, in the lustes of oure flesshe, and fulfylled the wyll of the flesshe and of the mynde: and were by nature the chyldren of wrath, euen as well as other. ⁴ But God which is riche in mercy (for his greate loue wher with he loued vs, ⁵ euen when we were deed by synnes) quyckened vs together in Christ (by grace are ye saued) ⁶ and raysed vs vp together with hym and made vs sytte together with him amonge them of heauen in Christ Iesu. ⁷ That in tymes to come he myght shewe the exceadynge, ryches of hys grace, in kyndnes to vs warde thorowe Chryst Iesu. ⁸ For by grace are ye made safe thorow fayth, and that not of youre selues. It is the gyfte of God, ⁹ and commeth not of workes, lest eny man shulde boast him selfe ¹⁰ For we are his worckmanshyppe, created in Chryst Iesu vnto good workes, whiche God ordeyned, that we shulde walke in them.

¹⁸ whyle they are blinded in their vnderstandynge, beynge farre from a godly lyfe, by the meanes of the ignorancy that is in them, and because of the blyndnes of their hertes:

⁸ Ye were somtyme darcknes, but nowe are ye lyght in the Lorde. Walke as children of lyght

¹² For we wrestle not agaynst bloude and flesshe: but agaynst rule, agaynst power, agaynst worldy rulers, euen gouerners of the darcknes of thys worlde, agaynst spretuall craftynes in heauenly thynges.

³ For we oure selues also were somtyme foolyshe dysobedient, deceaued, seruynge diuerse lustes and volupteousnes, lyuynge in maliciousnes and enuye, full of hate, hatynge one another. ⁴ But after that the kyndnes and loue of oure saueoure God to man warde appeared, ⁵ not by the dedes of rightewesnes which we wrought, but accordynge to hys mercye he saued vs by the fountayne of the newe byrth, and renuynge of the holy goost, ⁶ which he shedd on vs abountdantly, thorowe Iesus Christ oure saueoure,

¹⁴ For as moch then as the chyldren are partetakers of flesshe and bloud, he also him selfe lykewyse toke parte with them that (thorowe deeth) he myght expell hym that had lordshyppe ouer deeth, that is to saye the deuyll,

⁹ But ye are a chosen generacion, a royall presthod, an holy nacyon, a people whych are wonne: that ye shuld shewe the vertues of hym, that called you out of darcknes into hys meruclous lyght,

¹¹ Yee and by this meanes an entrynge in shal be mynistred vnto you aboundantly into the euerlastyng kyngdome of oure Lorde and sauioure Iesus Christ.

⁸ The olde commaundement is the worde, which ye haue hearde from the beginninge. Agayne, a new commaundement I wryte vnto you, that is true in him, and the same is true also in you: for the dercknes is past, and the true lyght now shyneth.

⁸ He that committeth synne, is of the deuyll: for the deuyll synneth sence the beginnynge. For this purpose appeared the sonne of God, to lowse the worckes of the deuyl.

¹ An instruccyon of Dauid. Blessed is he, whose vnryghteousnesse is forgeuen, and whose synne is couered. ² Blessed is the man, vnto whom the Lorde imputeth no synne, and in whose sprete there is no gyle.

⁴ For there is mercy wyth the, therfore shalt thou be feared.

²⁸ euen as the sonne of man cam, not to be ministred vnto, but to minister, & to geue his lyfe a redempcion for many.

²⁰ When he sawe theyr fayth he sayd vnto him: man, thy synnes be forgeuen the,

⁴⁷ Wherfore, I saye vnto the: many synnes are forgeuen her, for she loued moch. To whom lesse is forgeuen, the same doeth lesse loue. ⁴⁸ And he sayde vnto her: thy synnes are forgeuen the. ⁴⁹ And they that sate at meat wt him, beganne to saye within them selues. Who is this which forgeueth synnes also? ⁵⁰ And he sayd to the woman: Thy faith hath saued the. Go in peace.

³⁸ Peter sayde vnto them: repent of youre synnes, and be baptysed euery one of you in the name of Iesus Chryst for the remission of synnes, and ye shall receaue the gyfte of the holy goost.

⁴³ To hym geue all the prophetes witnes, that thorowe hys name whosoeuer beleueth in him, shall receaue remissyon of synnes.

³⁸ Be it knowne vnto you therfore (ye men and brethren) that thorowe thys man is preached vnto you the forgeuenes of sinnes, ³⁹ and that by hym, all that beleue, are iustyfyed from all thynges, from which ye coulde not be iustifyed by the lawe of Moses.

²⁸ Take hede therfore vnto youre selues & to all the flocke amonge whom the holy ghost hath made you ouersears, to rule the congregacyon of God which he hath purchased with his bloude.

²⁴ but are iustifyed frely by his grace, through the redempcyon that is in Christ Iesu, ²⁵ whom God hath set forth to be the obtayner of mercy thorow fayth, by the meanes of hys bloude, to declare hys ryghteousnes, in that he forgeueth the synnes that are passed, whych God dyd suffre,

⁶ Euen as Dauid describeth the blessedfulnes of that man, vnto whom God imputeth ryghtewesnes wythout dedes. ⁷ Blessed are they, whose vnryghtewesnes are forgeuen, and whose synnes are couered ⁸ Blessed is that man, to whom the Lorde wyll not impute synne.

¹³ Christ hath deliuered vs from the curse of the lawe, in as moche as he was made accursed for vs: For it is written: cursed is euery one, that hangeth on tree,

⁷ By whome we haue redempcyon thorowe his bloude, euen the forgeuenes of synnes, accordinge to the ryches of grace:

³² Be ye courteouse one to another, mercyfull, forgeuynge one another, euen as God for Christes sake hath forgeuen you.

¹³ And ye whan ye weare deed thorowe synne and thorowe the vncircumcisyon of youre flesshe, hath he quyckned with him, and hath forgeuen vs all oure trespaces

¹³ for bearynge one another, & forgeuynge one another, yf any man haue a quarell agaynst another: as Christ forgaue you, euen so do ye.

⁶ whych gaue him selfe a raunsome for all men, that it shulde be testifyed at hys tyme,

¹² nether by the bloude of goates & calues: but by hys awne bloude he entred in once into the holy place, and founde eternall redempcyon.

²² And almost all thinges are by the lawe purged with bloud, & without sheadinge of bloud is no remissyon.

¹² But thys man after he hath offered one sacrifice for synnes, is set downe for euer on the ryght hand of God, ¹³ & from hence forth taryeth tyll his foes be made his fote stole. ¹⁴ For wt one offeringe hath he made parfecte for euer, them that are sanctyfyed.

¹⁹ but wt the precious bloude of Chryst, as of a lambe vndefyled, and wythout spot, ²⁰ whych was ordeyned before hande, euen before the worlde was made: but was declared in the last tymes for your sakes,

¹⁸ For as moch as Christ hath once suffered for synnes, the iust for the vniust, to bring vs to God, and was kylled, as pertayninge to the flesshe: but was quyckened in the sprete.

⁹ If we knowledge oure synnes, he is faythfull & iust, to forgeue vs oure synnes, and to clense vs from all vnryghtewesnes.

² & he it is that obtayneth grace for oure synnes, not for oure synnes onely: but also for the synnes of all the worlde.

¹² Babes I wryte vnto you, how that youre synnes are forgeuen you for his names sake.

⁵ & from Iesus Christ, which is a faythfull wytnes, & fyrst begotten of the deed: & Lorde ouer the kynges of the erth. Unto him that loued vs, and wesshed vs from oure synnes in hys awne bloude,

⁹ & they songe a new songe, saying: thou art worthy to take the boke, & to open the seales therof: for thou wast kylled, & hast redemed vs by thy bloud out of all kynredes, & tonges, & people, & nacyons,

⁴ These are they, which were not defyled wt wemen, for they are virgyns. These folowe the lambe whythersoeuer he goeth. These were redemed from men, beynge the fyrste frutes vnto God and to the lambe,

¹⁰ and sawe the God of Israel, and there was vnder hys fete, as it were a worke of a Saphir stone; and as it were the heauen when it is cleare,

⁸ Unto him wil I speake mouth to mouth in a visyon: but in rydels and symylitudes doth not he se the Lord. Wherfore then were ye not afrayed to speake agaynst my seruaunt Moses?

²⁷ He shall call me: thou art my father, my God, & my stronge saluacion.

²⁹ When he shut the see within certayne bowndes, that the waters shulde not go ouer their marckes that he commaunded. When he layed the foundacyons of the earth ³⁰ I was with him, ordrynge all thynges: delytinge dayly, and reioysynge all waye before him. ³¹ As for the rounde compase of thys worlde, I make it ioyfull: for my delyte is to be amonge the chyldren of men.

²⁶ Aboue the fyrmament that was ouer theyr heades, there was the fashyon of a seate, as it had bene made of Saphyr. Upon the seate there satt one lyke a man. ²⁷ I behelde hym, and he was lyke an angell, as it had bene all of fyre within from his loynes vpwarde. And beneth, when I loked vpon him vnder the loynes, me thought he was lyke a shynynge fyre, that geueth lyght on euery syde. Yee, the shyne and glystre that lyghtened rounde about, ²⁸ was lyke a raynbowe, which in a raynye daye appeareth in the cloudes. Euen so was the similytude, wherin the glorye of the Lorde appeared. When I sawe it, I fell vpon my face, and herkened vnto the voyce of hym that spake:

¹ In the begynnynge was the worde, and the worde was wyth God: and God was the worde.

¹⁴ And the same worde became flesshe, and dwelt amonge vs: and we sawe the glory of it, as the glory of the onely begotten sonne of the father, full of grace and trueth.

¹⁸ No man hath sene God at eny tyme. The onely begotten sonne, whych is in the bosome of the father, he hath declared hym.

¹⁶ For God so loue the worlde, that, he gaue is only begotten sonne, that whosoeuer beleueth in him, shulde not perisshe, but haue euerlastyng lyfe.

⁹ Iesus sayth vnto hym: haue I bene so longe tyme with you, & yet hast thou not knowen me? Philip, he that hath sene me, hath sene my father. And howe sayest thou then: shewe vs the father?

²⁴ If I had not done amonge them the workes whych none other man dyd, they shuld haue had no synne. But now haue they both sene, & hated: not onely me but also my father.

²⁹ For those which he knewe before, he also ordeyned before, that they shulde be lyke fassyoned vnto the shape of hys sonne, that he myght be the fyrst begotten sonne amonge many brethren.

⁶ which whan he was in the shape of God, thought it no robbery to be equall with God

¹⁶ For by him were all thynges created, that are in heuen, and that are in erth: visyble and inuisyble, whether they be maieste or lorde shyppe, ether rule or power. All thynges were creatyd by hym and for hym, ¹⁷ & he is before all thynges, and by him all thynges haue theyr beynge.

¹⁷ So then vnto God, kynge euerlastynge, immortall inuisyble, wyse onely, be honoure and prayse for euer and euer. Amen.

¹⁶ whych onely hath immortalite, and dwelleth in the lyght that no man can attayne, whom no man hath sene, nether can se, vnto whom be honoure and rule euerlastynge. Amen.

³ Which (sonne) beinge the bryghtnes of his glory, and that very ymage of his substance rulynge all thynges with the worde of hys power, hath by hys awne person pourged oure synnes, and sytteth on the ryght hande of the maiestye on hye:

⁶ And agayne, when he bringeth in the fyrst begotten sonne into the worlde, he sayth. And let all the angels of God worshyppe hym.

²⁷ By fayth he forsoke Egipt & feared not the fearcenes of the king. For he endured, euen as though he had sene him which is inuisible.

¹⁴ And vnto the messenger of the congregacyon whych is in Laodicia, wryte: This sayth (Amen) the faythfull and true wytnes, the begynnyng of the creatures of God.

³⁹ Understande therfore thys daye, & turne it to thyne hert, that the Lorde, he is God in heauen aboue, and vpon the erth beneth: neyther is there any other.

¹¹ Thyne (O Lorde) is greatnesse, and power, glorie, victorie and prayse: for all that is in heauen and in erth is thyne, & thyne is the kyngdom (O Lorde) and thou excellest aboue all, euen as the heed of all.

²⁵ Thou Lorde in the begynnyng hast layed the foundacyon of the earth, and the heauens are the worcke of thy handes. ²⁶ They shall perishe, but thou shalt endure: they all shall wexe olde as doth a garment, ²⁷ and as a vesture shalt thou chaunge them, and they shalbe chaunged. But thou art the same, and thy yeares shall not fayle.

⁴ The Lorde doth all thynges for hys awne sake, yee and when he kepeth the vngodly for the daye of wrath.

⁹ Go vp vnto the hye hyll (O Syon) thou that bringest good tydynges, lyfte vp thy voyce with power, O thou preacher Ierusalem. Lyfte it vp without feare, and saye vnto the cyties of Iuda: Beholde youre God, ¹⁰ beholde the Lord God shall come with power, and beare rule with his arme. Beholde, he bringeth hys treasure with him, and his worckes go before hym. ¹¹ He shall fede his flock lyke an herdman. He shall gather the lambes together with hys arme, and carye them in his bosome, & shall kyndely intreate those that beare yonge. ¹² Who hath holden the waters in hys fyst? Who hath measured heauen wt his spanne, & hath comprehended all the earth of the worlde in thre measures? Who hath weyed the mountaynes & hylles in a balaunce.

²¹ Thys people haue I made for my self, and they shall shewe forth my prayse.

²⁴ Thus sayth the Lord thy redemer, euen he that fashyoned the from thy mothers wombe. I the Lorde, do all thynges my selfe alone. I only sprede out the heauens and I only haue layde the foundacyon of the earth by myn awne selfe.

³ All thinges were made by it, & wythout it, was made nothynge that was made.

³⁸ For I am sure, that nether deeth, nether lyfe, nether Angels, nor rule, nether power, nether thynges present, nether thynges to come,

³⁶ For of hym, and thorow hym, and for hym are all thynges: To hym be glorye for euer. Amen.

¹⁰ to haue it declared whan the tyme was full come, that he myght set vp all thynges perfectly by Christ (both the thynges which are in heuen, and the thynges which are in earth)

²⁰ which he wrought in Christ, when he raysed him from the deed, and set him on his ryght hande in heauenly thinges, ²¹ aboue all rule, & power, & myght and dominion, and aboue euery name that is named, not in this worlde onely, but also in the worlde to come:

⁹ and to make all men se, what the felyshyppe of the mystery is, which from the begynnynge of the worlde hath bene hyd in God which made all thinges thorow Iesus Christ: ¹⁰ to the intent, that nowe vnto the rulers and powers in heauenly thinges, myght be knowen by the congregacion, the manyfolde wysdome of God,

¹⁰ that in the name of Iesus euery knee shulde bowe, both of thinges in heauen and thynges in erth and thynges vnder the erth,

¹⁵ which is the ymage of the inuisyble God, fyrst begotten of all creatures.

²⁰ and by him to reconcyle all thinge vnto him selfe, and to set at peace by hym thorowe the bloude of hys crosse, both thynges in heauen and thinges in erth.

¹⁰ and ye are complete in him: which is the heed of all rule and power,

¹⁵ and hath spoyled rule and power, and hath made a shewe of them openly, and hath triumphed ouer them in his awne person.

² but in these last dayes he hath spoken vnto vs by his awne sonne, whom he hath made heyre of all thynges by whom also he made the worlde.

¹⁰ And thou Lorde in the begynnynge hast layde the foundacyon of the erth. And the heauens are the workes of thy handes. ¹¹ They shall perysshe, but thou endurest, But they all shall wexe olde also as doth a garment: ¹² & as a vesture shalt thou chaunge them, & they shalbe chaunged. But thou art euen the same and thy yeres shall not fayle.

¹⁰ For it became him, for whom are all thinges and by whom are all thynges (after that he had brought many sonnes vnto glory) that he shulde make the Lorde of their saluacyon perfecte thorowe affliccyons.

³ For loke howe moche honoure he (that hath buylded a house) hath more then the house it selfe, so moch honour is he counted worthy of more then Moses. ⁴ For euery house is buylded of some man. But he that ordeyned all thynges, is God.

²² whych is on the ryghte hande of God: and is gone into heauen, angels, powers, and myght subdued vnto hym.

¹³ And all the creatures whych are in heauen, & on the erth, & vnder the erth, & in the see, & all that are in them, herde I sayinge, blessyng, honour, glory, & power be vnto hym that sytteth vpon the seate, & vnto the lambe for euermore. ¹⁴ And the foure beastes sayd: Amen. And the .xxiiii. elders fell vpon their faces, and worshypped hym that lyueth for euermore.

⁸ He reyseth vp the poore out of the dust, and lyfteth vp the begger from the dong hyll: to sett them amonge princes, and to enherett them with the seate of glorye. For the pillers of the erth are the lordes, and he hath sett the rounde worlde vpon them.

³ When I receaue the congregacion, I shall iudge accordynge vnto ryght.

²² The Lorde him selfe had me in possessyon in the begynnynge of his wayes, or euer he beganne his worckes a fore tyme. ²³ I haue bene ordened from euerlastynge, and from the begynnynge or euer the earth was made.

¹¹ I am euen, I am the only Lorde and beside me ther is no Sauioure. ¹² I gaue warninge, I made whole I taught you when there was no straunge God amonge you. And this recorde must ye beare me youre selues, (sayth the Lord) that I am God. ¹³ And euen he am I from the begynnynge, and there is none that can take any thynge out of my hande. I do the worke and who shall be able to let it.

⁶ Thus hath the Lorde spoken: euen the Kynge of Israel, and his redemer, the Lorde of Hostes: I am the fyrst and the last, and without me is there no God.

² And thou Bethleem Ephrata, art lytle amonge the thou sandes of Iuda, Out of the shal come vnto me, which shal be the gouernoure in Israel: whose out goynge hath bene from the begynning, & from euerlastynge.

¹ In the begynnynge was the worde, and the worde was wyth God: and God was the worde. ² The same was in the begynnyng wyth God. ³ All thinges were made by it, & wythout it, was made nothynge that was made.

¹⁷ And Iesus answered them. My father worketh hitherto, and I worke. ¹⁸ Therfore, the Iewes sought the more to kyll him, not onely because he had broken the Sabboth: but sayde also that God was hys father and made hym selfe equall with God.

⁵⁸ Iesus sayd vnto them: Uerely verely, I saye vnto you: yer Abraham was borne, I am.

⁵ And now glorifye thou me (O father) with thyne awne self, with the glory, which I had with the, yer the worlde was.

²⁸ For in hym we lyue, moue, and haue oure beinge, as certayne of youre awne Poetes sayde: For we are also his generacion,

⁸ Iesus Christ yesterdaye and to daye, and the same continueth for euer.

⁸ I am Alpha and Omega, the begynnyng and the endynge, sayth the Lorde almyghty, which is and which was, and which is to come.

¹¹ sayinge: I am Alpha and Omega, the fyrst and the laste. That thou seyst, wryte in a boke, and sende it vnto the seuen congregacions which are in Asia, vnto Ephesus, & vnto Smyrna and vnto Pergamos, and vnto Thiatira, and vnto Sardis, & vnto Philadelphia, and vnto Laodicia.

¹⁷ And when I saw him, I fell at his fete. euen as deed. And he layde his ryghte hande vpon me, saying vnto me: feare not. I am the fyrst & the laste,

⁸ And vnto the angell of the congregacyon of Smyrna wryte: These thynges sayth he that is fyrst, & the laste, which was deed, and is alyue.

² My tong is the penne of a ready wryter. ³ Thou art fayrer then the chyldren of men, full of grace are thy lyppes, because God hath blessed the for euer. ⁴ Gyrde the wt thy swerde vpon thy thygh (O thou most myghtye) accordyng to thy worshipe & renowne. ⁵ Good lucke haue thou wt thine honour, ryde on because of the word of treuth, of mekenesse & righteousnes: and thy ryght hande shall teach the terrible thynges.

¹⁰ As for my loue, he is white and redde coloured, a goodlye personne amonge ten thousande:

¹³ Beholde, my seruaunt shall deale wysely, therfore shall he be magnified, exalted & greatly honoured.

⁸ But be not ye called Rabbi. For one is youre master, euen Chryst, and all ye are brethren.

¹⁸ And Iesus came, and spake vnto them, sayinge: All power is geuen vnto me in heauen, & in erth.

¹⁶ And of hys fulnes haue all we receaued, euen grace for grace.

²⁷ he it is which though he came after me, was before me, whose sho latchet I am not worthy to vnlose.

²⁹ He that hath the bryde, is the brydegrome. But the frende of the brydegrome, whych standeth and heareth hym, reioyseth greatly because of the brydegromes voyce. This my ioye therfore is fulfilled. ³⁰ He must increace: but I must decreace. ³¹ He that commeth from an hye, is aboue all: He that is of the erth, is earthly, and speaketh of the erth. He that commeth from heauen, is aboue all,

³⁴ For he whom God hath sent, speaketh the wordes of God: For God geueth not the sprete by measure vnto him. ³⁵ The father loueth the sonne & hath geuen all thynges into hys hande

²⁵ Iesus sayth vnto her: I am the resurreccyon and the lyfe: He that beleueth on me, ye though he were deed, yet shall he lyue. ²⁶ And whosoeuer lyueth and beleueth on me, shall neuer dye: Beleuest thou this?

²³ that Christ shulde soffer, and that he shulde be the fyrst that shuld ryse from deth, and shuld shew lyght vnto the people, and to the gentyls.

³ But I wolde haue you to knowe, that Christ is the heed of euery man. And the man is the womans heed. And God is Christes heed.

²⁰ But now is Christ rysen from the deed, & become the fyrst frutes of them that slept. ²¹ For by a man came deeth, and by a man came the resurreccyon of the deed. ²² For as by Adam all dye: euen so by Christ, shall all be made alyue, ²³ but euery man in his awne order. The fyrst is Christ, then they that are Christes at his commynge.

²⁵ For he must raygne tyll he haue put all his enemyes vnder his fete.

²² and hath put all thynges vnder his fete, and hath made him aboue all thinges the heed of the congregacyon, ²³ which is his body and the fulnes of him, that fylleth all in all.

¹⁵ But let vs folowe the trueth in loue, and in all thynges growe in hym, which is the heed, euen Christ, ¹⁶ in whom yf all the body be coupled and knet together thorow out euery ioynt wherwith one ministreth to another (accordynge to the operacyon as euery parte hath hys measure) he increaseth the body, vnto the edifyinge of it selfe thorowe loue.

²³ For the husbande is the wyues heed, euen as Chryst is the heed of the congregacyon, and the same is he that ministreth saluacion vnto the body.

²⁴ Nowe ioye I in my sufferinges for you and fulfyll that which is behynde of the passyons of Christ in my flesshe, for hys bodies sake, which is the congregacyon:

¹⁰ and ye are complete in him: which is the heed of all rule and power, ¹¹ by whom also ye are circumcised with circumcisyon which is done with out handes, for asmoche as ye haue put of the synfull body of the flesshe thorowe the circumcisyon that is in Christ, ¹² in that ye are buried with hym thorowe bapti me, in whom ye are also rysen agayne thorowe fayth, that is wrought by the operacyon of God which raysed him from deeth. ¹³ And ye whan ye weare deed thorowe synne and thorowe the vncircumcisyon of youre flesshe, hath he quyckned with him, and hath forgeuen vs all oure trespaces ¹⁴ and hath put out the hande wrytynge that was agaynst vs, contayned in the lawe written: and that hath he taken out of the waye, and hath fastened it to hys crosse,

⁵ For vnto which of the angels sayde he at eny tyme: Thou art my sonne, thys daye haue I begotten the? And agayne I wyll be hys father, and he shalbe my sonne. ⁶ And agayne, when he bringeth in the fyrst begotten sonne into the worlde, he sayth. And let all the angels of God worshyppe hym.

¹ That which was from the begynnynge, whyche we haue hearde, whyche we haue sene wyth oure eyes, whych we haue loked vpon, and our handes haue handled, of the word of the lyfe.

¹⁸ & and am a lyue, and was deed. And beholde I am a lyue for euermore & haue the keyes of hell & of deeth.

⁹ & they songe a new songe, saying: thou art worthy to take the boke, & to open the seales therof: for thou wast kylled, & hast redemed vs by thy bloud out of all kynredes, & tonges, & people, & nacyons, ¹⁰ and hast made vs vnto oure God, kynges, and prestes, & we shall raygne on the erth. ¹¹ And I behelde, and I hearde the voyce of many angels about the trone, & about the beaste & the elders, and I hearde thousand thousandes, ¹² saying wt a lowde voyce: Worthy is the lambe that was kylled to receaue power, & ryches, & wysdome, and strength, and honour, & glory, & blessynge. ¹³ And all the creatures whych are in heauen, & on the erth, & vnder the erth, & in the see, & all that are in them, herde I sayinge, blessyng, honour, glory, & power be vnto hym that sytteth vpon the seate, & vnto the lambe for euermore.

¹⁵ And the seuenth Angell blewe, & ther were made greate voyces in heauen, sayinge: the kyngdoms of this worlde are oure lordes, and his Christes, & he shall raygne for euermore.

⁶ And he sayd vnto me: it is done, I am Alpha and Omega, the begynnyng & the ende I wyll geue to hym that is a thyrst, of the well of the water of lyfe, fre.

²³ And the cytie hath no nede of the sonne, nether of the mone to lighten it. For the brightnes of God dyd lyght it, and the lambe was the lyght of it. ²⁴ And the people whych are saued shall walke in the lyght of it. And the kinges of the earth shall brynge theyr glory vnto it.

¹³ I am Alpha and Omega, the begynninge and the ende: the fyrst and the last.

²⁵ At that tyme Iesus answered and sayde: I thanke the O father, Lord of heauen & erth, because thou hast hid these thinges from the wyse and prudent, and hast shewed them vnto babes, ²⁶ verely father, euen so was it thy good pleasure. ²⁷ All thinges are geuen ouer vnto me of my father. And noman knoweth the sonne but the father: nether knoweth eny man the father, saue the sonne, and he to whomsoeuer the sonne will open him.

²¹ That same houre reioysed Iesus in ghost, and sayd: I thanke the, O father. Lorde of heauen and earth, that thou hast hyd these thinges from the wyse and prudent, and hast opened them vnto babes. Euen so father, for so pleased it the.

³⁴ For he whom God hath sent, speaketh the wordes of God: For God geueth not the sprete by measure vnto him.

³ Blessed be God the father of oure Lorde Iesus Christ, which hath blessed vs with all maner of spirituall blessyng in heuenly thinges by Christ

⁵ Which ordeyned vs before thorowe Iesus Christ to be heyres vnto hym selfe, accordinge to the good pleasure of hys wyll,

²³ which is his body and the fulnes of him, that fylleth all in all.

¹⁰ He that descended, is euen the same also that ascended vp, aboue all heauens, to fulfyll all thynges.

³ in whom are hyd all the treasures of wysdome and knowledge.

⁹ For in hym dwelleth all the fulnes of the God heed bodely,

¹¹ where is nether Gentyle nor Iewe, circumcisyon nor vncircumcisyon, Barbarous or Sythian, bonde or fre: but Christ is all in all thinges.

³⁰ And no synneoffrynge, whose bloude is brought into the tabernacle of wytnesse to reconcyle wyth all in the holy place, shall be eaten: but shalbe burnt in the fyre.

¹⁰ Mercy and trueth are met together, ryghtuousnesse and peace haue kyssed eche other. ¹¹ Trueth shall florish out of the earth, & ryghtuousnesse hath loked downe from heauen.

¹⁷ Agayne, it shalbe the princes parte to offre burntofferynges, meateofferinges & drinckofferinges vnto the Lord, in the holy dayes, newe moones, sabbathes, and in all the hye feastes of the house of Israel. The synoffering, meateofferyng, burntoffring & healthofferyng shall he geue to reconcyle the house of Israel. ¹⁸ Thus sayth the Lorde God: The fyrst daye of the first moneth thou shalt take a yonge bullocke without blemysh, and clense the sanctuarye. ¹⁹ So the preste shall take of the bloude of the synofferyng, and sprynckle it vnto the postes of the house, and vpon the foure corners of the aulter, with the dorepostes of the ynnermer courte. ²⁰ And thus shalt thou do also the seuenth daye of the moneth (for soch as haue synned of ignoraunce, or beynge disceaued) to reconcyle the house wt all.

²⁴ .Lxx. wekes are determed ouer thy people, and ouer the holy cytie: that the wyckednes maye be consumed, that the synne may haue an ende, that the offence maye be reconciled, and to brynge in euerlastinge ryghteousnesse, to fulfyll the visyons and the prophetes, and to anoynte the moost holy one. ²⁵ Understande this then, and marcke it well: that from the tyme it shalbe concluded to go and repayre Ierusalem agayne, vnto Christ (or the anoynted) prince: there shalbe seuen wekes: Then shall the stretes and walles be buylded agayne .lxij. wekes, but with harde troublous tyme. ²⁶ After these .lxij. wekes, shall Christ be slayne, and they shall haue no pleasure in hym. Then shall there come a people with the Prince, and destroye the cyte & the Sanctuary: and hys ende shall come as the water floude. But the desolacyon shall contynue tyll the ende of the battell.

⁵ Then shall there be peace, so that the Assyrian maye come into youre lande, & treade in youre houses. We shall bringe vp seuen shepherdes and .viii. princes vpon them:

⁹ Reioyce thou greatly, O daughter Syon be glad, O daughter Ierusalem. For lo, thy kynge commeth vnto the, euen the ryghteous and Sauioure, Lowly & symple is he, he rydeth vpon an asse, & vpon the foale of an asse. ¹⁰ I will rote out the charrettes from Ephraim, & the horse from Ierusalem, the batel bowes shalbe destroyed. He shall geue the doctrine of peace vnto the Heathen, & his dominyon shalbe from the one see to the other, & from the floudes to the endes of the worlde.

¹⁴ Glory to God on hye, and peace on the erth, & vnto men a good wyll.

³⁰ And Cornelius sayd: This daye now .iiij. dayes about this houre, I sat fasting, and at the nynthe houre I prayde in my house: and behold, a man stode before me in bryght clothynge,

¹ Because therfore that we are iustifyed by fayth, we are at peace with God, thorow oure Lorde Iesus Christ:

¹⁸ Neuerthelesse, all thynges are of God, whych hath reconcyled vs vnto him selfe by Iesus Christ, and hath geuen to vs the offyce to preache the attonement. ¹⁹ For God was in Christ, and made agrement betwene the worlde and him selfe, & imputed not their synnes vnto them, and hath commytted to vs the preachynge of the attonement. ²⁰ Now then are we messengers in the rowme of Christ euen as though God dyd beseche you thorow vs. So praye we you in Christes stede, that ye be reconcyled vnto God: ²¹ for he made him to be synne for vs, which knewe no synne, that we by his meanes shulde be that ryghtewesnes, which before God is alowed.

¹³ But nowe by the meanes of Christ Iesu, ye which somtyme were farre of, are made nye by the bloude of Chryst. ¹⁴ For he is oure peace, which hath made of both one, and hath broken downe the wall that was a stoppe betwene vs, ¹⁵ and hath also put awaye thorowe his flesshe, the cause of hatred, euen the lawe of commaundementes contayned in the lawe wrytten, for to make of twayne one newe man in hym selfe, so makynge peace, ¹⁶ and to reconcyle both vnto God in one body thorowe the crosse, & slewe hatred therby: ¹⁷ and came, and preached peace to you which were a farre of, and to them that were nye.

²¹ And you which were somtyme farre of and enemyes, because youre myndes were set in euyll worckes hath he nowe yet reconcyled ²² in the body of hys flesshe thorowe deeth, to make you holy, and vnblameable, & without faut in hys awne syght,

²⁰ The God of peace that brought agayne from deeth our Lorde Iesus the gret shepperde of the shepe, thorow the bloud of the euerlastyng testament, ²¹ make you parfect in all good workes, to do hys wyll, and bryng to passe, that the thyng which ye do, maye be pleasaunt in his syght thorowe Iesus Christ. To whom be prayse for euer whyle the world endureth. Amen.

⁹ In this appeared the loue of God to vs ward, because that God sent hys onely begotten sonne into the worlde, that we might liue thorow him. ¹⁰ Herin is loue, not that we loued God, but that he loued vs, & sent hys sonne to be the agrement for oure synnes.

³⁰ backbyters, haters of God, dysdaynfull, proude, boasters, bringers vp of euyll thynges, disobedyent to father and mother,

⁹ Moch more then now (we that are iustifyed by hys bloud) shall be saued from wrath thorow hym. ¹⁰ For yf when we were enemyes, we were reconcyled to God by the deeth of hys sonne: moch more, seynge we are reconcyled, we shalbe preserued by hys lyfe.

⁷ Because that the flesshly mynde is enemyte agaynst God: for it is not obedyent to the lawe of God, nether can be. ⁸ So then they that are in the flesshe, cannot please God.

¹ And you hath he quickened where as ye were deed in treaspasses and synnes, ² in the which in tyme passed ye walked, accordyng to the course of this worlde, euen after the gouerner that ruleth in the ayer, the sprete that nowe worketh in the chyldren of vnbelefe ³ amonge whom we all had oure conuersacyon also in tyme past, in the lustes of oure flesshe, and fulfylled the wyll of the flesshe and of the mynde: and were by nature the chyldren of wrath, euen as well as other.

¹² remember (I saye) that at that tyme ye were without Chryst, beynge aliauntes from the comen welth of Israel, and straungers from the testamentes of the promes hauynge no hope, and beynge with out God in this worlde.

¹⁹ Now therfore, ye are not straungers, and foreyners: but citesyns with the sayntes & of the housholde of God:

¹⁵ Unto the pure, are all thynges pure: but vnto them that are defyled and vnbeleuynge, is nothynge pure: but euen the mynde and conscience of them is defyled. ¹⁶ They confesse that they knowe God: but with the dedes they denye hym seinge they are abominable and disobedient, & vnapte vnto euery good worcke.

³ For we oure selues also were somtyme foolyshe dysobedient, deceaued, seruynge diuerse lustes and volupteousnes, lyuynge in maliciousnes and enuye, full of hate, hatynge one another. ⁴ But after that the kyndnes and loue of oure saueoure God to man warde appeared, ⁵ not by the dedes of rightewesnes which we wrought, but accordynge to hys mercye he saued vs by the fountayne of the newe byrth, and renuynge of the holy goost, ⁶ which he shedd on vs abountdantly, thorowe Iesus Christ oure saueoure, ⁷ that we iustifyed by hys grace, shulde be made heyres accordinge to the hope of eternall lyfe,

⁴ Ye aduouterars, and wemen that breke matrimonye: knowe ye not how that the frendshyp of the worlde is enmytie wt God? whosoeuer therfore wilbe a frende of the worlde, is made the enemye of God.

¹⁵ Behold, he doth not trust hys saynctes: yee, the very heauens are not cleane in hys syght.

⁵ Beholde, the Moone shyneth nothynge in comparison to him, and the starres are vncleane in his sight.

⁷ Thou shalt pourge me with Isope, and I shall be cleane: thou shalt wash me, & I shalbe whyter then snowe:

⁷⁵ all the dayes of oure lyfe, in such holynes and rightewesnes as are accept before him

⁴ Euen so ye also (my brethren) are deed concernynge the lawe by the body of Chryst, that ye shulde be coupled to another (I meane to him that is rysen agayne from deeth) that we shuld brynge forth frute vnto God.

² For I am gelous ouer you wt godly gelousye: For I haue coupled you to one man, that ye shulde make your selues a chaste virgin vnto Christ.

⁴ accordinge as he had chosen vs in hym, before the foundacions of the worlde were layde, that we shulde be holy, and without blame before hym, thorowe loue.

¹⁵ and hath also put awaye thorowe his flesshe, the cause of hatred, euen the lawe of commaundementes contayned in the lawe wrytten, for to make of twayne one newe man in hym selfe, so makynge peace, ¹⁶ and to reconcyle both vnto God in one body thorowe the crosse, & slewe hatred therby:

²⁷ to make it vnto him selfe a gloryous congregacyon, without spot or wrynckle, or eny soche thynge: but that it shulde be holy, and without blame.

⁷ For God hath not called vs vnto vnclennes but vnto holynes.

¹⁰ by wych will we are made holy, euyn by the offeryng of the body of Iesu Christe once for all.

²⁰ by the new & lyuing waye whych he hath prepared for vs, through the vayle (that is to saye, by his flesshe.)

¹⁴ Wherfore dearly beloued, seynge that ye loke for such thinges, be diligent that ye maye be founde of hym in peace, wythout spotte and vndefyled.

²⁴ Unto him that is able to kepe you fre from synne, & to present you fautlesse before the presence of his glory wt ioye

²⁵ This daye wyll I begynne to sende the feare and dreade of the, vpon all nacions that are vnder all the heauen: so that they whych heare speake of the, shall tremble and quake before the.

¹⁹ Ye and leste thou lyfte vp thyne eyes vnto heuen and when thou seyst the sonne, the moone and the starres with all the hoost of heauen, shuldest be desceaued, and shuldest worshippe and serue the thynges, which the Lorde thy God hath made to serue all nacyons vnder the whole heauen.

¹³ The ryghteous shal florish lyke a palme tree, and shal sprede abroade lyke a Cedre in Libanus. ¹⁴ Soch as be planted in the house of the Lorde shall florishe in the courtes of our God. They shall also bryng forth more frute in theyr age, & shalbe fat and well likyng.

⁵ As for soche as turne backe vnto their awne wyckednesse, the Lorde, shall leade them forth wyth the euyll doers, but peace shall be vpon Israel.

⁶⁶ Persecute them (O Lorde) with thyne indignacyon, and rote them out from vnder the heauen.

²⁶ When a ryghtuous man turneth awaye from hys ryghtuousnesse, and medleth wyth vngodlynes: he must dye therin: yee, for the vnrightuousnes that he hath done, must he dye.

³ Then shall we haue vnderstandynge, & endeuoure oure selues to knowe the Lorde. He shall go forth as the spryng of the daye, & come vnto vs as the euenynge and mornynge rayne vpon the earth. ⁴ O Ephraim, what shall I do vnto the? O Iuda, howe shall I intreate the? seyng your loue is lyke a mornyng cloude, & lyke a dewe that goeth early awaye.

⁶ which starte a backe from the Lord, and nether seke after the Lord ner regarde hym.

²⁴ For whosoeuer heareth of me these wordes, & doth the same, I will lyken hym vnto a wyse man, which buylt hys house vpon a rock: ²⁵ and a shower of rayne descended, & the flouddes came, & the wyndes blewe, and bet vpon that house, & it fell not, because it was grounded on the rocke.

¹³ But he that endureth to the ende, the same shalbe safe. ¹⁴ And this Gospell of the kyngdome shalbe preached in all the worlde, for a wytnes vnto all nacyons, and then shall the ende come.

⁴⁸ He is lyke a man which bylt an house, and dygged depe, and layde the foundacion on a rock. When the waters arose, the flud bet vpon that house, & coulde not moue it. For it was grounded vpon a rocke.

¹³ They on the stones, are they which when they heare, receaue the word with ioye, and these haue no rotes: which for a whyle beleue, and in tyme of temptacyon go awaye. ¹⁴ And that which fell amonge thornes, are they which whan they haue heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and ryches, and volupteous lyuinge, and brynge forth no frute. ¹⁵ That which fell in the good grounde, are they, which with a pure and good herte heare the worde, and kepe it, and brynge forth frute thorow pacyence.

³² but I haue prayed for the, that thy fayth fayle not. And when thou arte conuerted, strength thy brethren.

³⁰ As he spake these wordes, many beleued on him. Then sayde Iesus to those Iewes, which beleued on him: ³¹ If ye continue in my worde, then are ye my very disciples, ³² and ye shall knowe the trueth: and the trueth shall make you free.

⁶ If a man byde not in me, he is cast forth as a braunche, & is wythered: and men gather them: and cast them into the fyre, and they burne.

⁹ As the father hath loued me, euen so haue I also loued you. Continue ye in my loue. ¹⁰ If ye kepe my commaundementes, ye shall byde in my loue, euen as I haue kepte my fathers commaundementes, & byde in hys loue.

¹⁷ For he was noumbred with vs, and had obtayned felowshypp in thys mynystracyon.

²⁵ that he maye take the roume of thys ministracyon and Apostleshypp, from which Iudas by transgressyon fell, that he myght go to hys awne place.

⁵ Ther were dwellyng at Ierusalem, Iewes, deuoute men, out of euery nacyon of them that are vnder heauen.

¹² Nether is there saluacyon in eny other. For amonge men vnder heauen there is geuen none other name, wherin we must be saued.

²³ Which when he came, & had sene the grace of God, was glad, & exhorted them all, that with purpose of hert, they wold contynually cleaue vnto the Lord.

²² and strengthed the discyples soules agayne, and exhorted them to contynue in the fayth affirmynge that we must thorowe moche tribulacyon enntre into the kyngdome of God.

²⁴ But none of these thinges moue me nether is my lyfe deare vnto my selfe, that I might fulfyll my course with ioye, and the ministracyon which I haue receaued of the Lorde Iesu, to testifye the Gospell of the grace of God.

¹⁶ but ryse and stand vp on thy fete. For I haue appeared vnto the for thys purpose, to make the a minister and a witnes both of those thynges whych thou hast sene, & of those thynges in the which I will appeare vnto the,

¹⁸ But I aske: haue they not herde? No dout, their sounde went out into all landes: and their wordes into the endes of the worlde.

¹⁶ that I shuld be the minister of Iesu Christ amonge the Gentyls, & shuld minyster the Gospell of God, that the offeryng of the gentyls myght be acceptable, & sanctified by the holy ghost.

⁵ What is Paul? What thynge is Apollo? Onely ministers are they by whom ye beleued, euen as the Lorde gaue euery man grace.

¹ Let a man this wyse esteme vs, euen as the minysters of Christ, and stewards of the secretes of God. ² Furthermore it is required of the stewardes, that a man be founde faythfull. ³ Wyth me is it but a very small thynge, that I shuld be iudged of you, ether of mans iudgement. No I iudge not myne awne selfe.

⁵⁸ Therfore my deare brethren, be ye stedfast and vnmouable, alwayes ryche in the worke of the Lorde, for as moch as ye knowe, how that youre labour, is not in vayne in the Lorde.

⁶ which hath made vs able to mynister the newe testament, not of the letter, but of the sprete. For the letter kylleth, but the sprete geueth lyfe.

¹ Therfore, seyng that we haue soch an offyce, euen as God hath had mercy on vs, we go not out of kynde:

¹⁸ Neuerthelesse, all thynges are of God, whych hath reconcyled vs vnto him selfe by Iesus Christ, and hath geuen to vs the offyce to preache the attonement. ¹⁹ For God was in Christ, and made agrement betwene the worlde and him selfe, & imputed not their synnes vnto them, and hath commytted to vs the preachynge of the attonement. ²⁰ Now then are we messengers in the rowme of Christ euen as though God dyd beseche you thorow vs. So praye we you in Christes stede, that ye be reconcyled vnto God:

¹¹ I am in feare of you, lest I haue bestowed on you laboure in vayne.

⁷ Ye dyd runne well: who was a let vnto you, that ye shulde not beleue the trueth?

⁹ Let vs not be wery of well doinge. For when the tyme is come, we shall reape without werynesse.

²¹ in whom what buyldynge soeuer is coupled together, it groweth vnto an holy temple in the Lorde,

⁷ wherof I am made a mynyster, accordinge to the gyfte of the grace of God which is geuen vnto me after the workynge of hys power. ⁸ Unto me the least of all saynctes is this grace geuen, that I shulde preache amonge the Gentyls the vnsearcheable riches of Christ

¹⁷ that Christ maye dwell in youre hertes by fayth, that ye beynge roted and grounded in loue,

¹⁶ in whom yf all the body be coupled and knet together thorow out euery ioynt wherwith one ministreth to another (accordynge to the operacyon as euery parte hath hys measure) he increaseth the body, vnto the edifyinge of it selfe thorowe loue.

⁵ for the hopes sake which is layd vp in store for you in heauen, of which hope, ye herde before by the true worde of the Gospell, ⁶ which is come vnto you: euen as it, is frutefull as it is also amonge you, from the daye in the which ye hearde of it, and had experience in the grace of God thorowe the trueth,

²⁵ wherof I am made a mynister, accordynge to the ordinaunce of God, which ordinaunce was geuen me vnto you warde to fullfyll the worde of God,

⁷ so that ye be rotyd and buylte in hym, and stablysshed thorow fayth, as ye haue learned: and therin be plenteous with geuynge thankes.

³ that no man shulde be moued in these affliccyons, For ye your selues knowe, that we are euen apoynted there vnto.

⁵ For this cause when I coulde no lenger forbeare, I sent that I myght haue knowledge of youre fayth, lest by some meanes the tempter had tempted you, and lest oure laboure had bene bestowed in vayne.

⁸ But let vs whych are of the daye, be sober armed wyth the brest plate of fayth and loue, and with hope of saluacyon for an helmet.

¹² And I thanke Chryst Iesus oure Lorde, whych hath made me stronge: for he counted me true, and put me in offyce

⁷ where vnto I am ordayned a preacher and an Apostle. I tell the trueth in Christ and lye not: beynge the teacher of the gentyls wyth fayth and veritye.

¹¹ whervnto I am apoynted, a preacher & Apostle, and a teacher of the Gentyls: ¹² for the whych cause I also suffre these thynges. Neuerthelesse, I am not ashamed. For I knowe, and am sure, that he (in whom I haue put my trust) is able to kepe that whych I haue committed to hys kepynge, agaynst that daye.

⁵ But watche thou in all thynges, suffre affliccyons, do the worke thorowlye of an Euangelist, fulfyll thyne offyce vnto the vtmost. ⁶ For I am nowe ready to be offered, and the tyme of my departynge, is at hande.

⁷ that we iustifyed by hys grace, shulde be made heyres accordinge to the hope of eternall lyfe,

⁶ But Christ as a sonne, hath rule ouer the house, whose house are we, yf we holde fast the confydence and the reioysynge of that hope, vnto the ende.

¹⁴ Seynge then, that we haue a great hye prest which is entred into heauen (euen Iesus the sonne of God) let vs holde the profession.

¹⁹ whych hope we holde as an ancre of the soule both sure and stedfast, whych hope also entreth in, into those thinges which are with in the vayle,

³⁸ But the iust shall lyue by faith. And yf he withdrawe him selfe, my soule shall haue no pleasure in him.

³ Blessed be God the father of oure Lord Iesus Chryst, whych accordyng to his aboundant mercye begat vs agayne vnto a lyuely hope (by that that Iesus Christ rose agayne from deeth)

⁵ whych are kept by the power of of God thorow fayth, vnto saluacion, whych is prepared allready to be shewed in the last tyme,

¹⁸ For when they haue spoken the greate swelling wordes of vanytie, they entyse thorow lustes in the volupteousnes of the flesh, them that were cleane escaped: euen them that now lyue in erroure: ¹⁹ while they promes them libertie, where as they them selues are the bonde seruauntes of corruption. For of whom a man is ouer come, vnto the same is he brought in bondage. ²⁰ For yf they (after they haue escaped from the fylthynes of the worlde thorow the knowledge of the Lord and the sauyour Iesu Christ) are yet tangled againe therin, and ouercome then is the latter ende worse wyth them then the begynninge. ²¹ For it had bene better for them, not to haue knowne the waye of ryghteousnes, then after they haue knowen it, to turne from the holy commaundement that was geuen vnto them: ²² But the same is happened vnto them that is vsed to be spoken by the true prouerbe. The dogge is turned to his awne vomet agayne and the sow that was wasshed is turned agayne to her walowynge in the myer.

²⁷ And the anoyntinge which ye haue receaued of him dwelleth in you. And ye nede not, that eny man teach you: but as the anoyntinge teacheth you of all thinges, and is true, and no lye, and as it hath taught you, euen so byde therin.

¹⁰ Feare none of those thynges, which thou shalt suffre. Beholde, the deuyll shall caste some of you into preson, to tempte you, & ye shall haue tribulacyon ten dayes. Be faythfull vnto the deeth, and I wyll geue the a croune of lyfe.

¹¹ Blessed are ye, when men reuyle you, and persecute you, and shall falesy say all maner of euyll sayinge against you, for my sake. ¹² Reioyse & be glad for greate is your rewarde in heuen. For so persecuted they the prophetes, which were before you.

³ Not that onely: but also we reioyce in tribulacyons: knowyng that tribulacyon bryngeth pacience,

⁵ For as the affliccyons of Christ are plenteous in vs, euen so is oure consolacyon plenteous by Christ. ⁶ Whether we be troubled for youre consolacyon and health, which saluacyon sheweth her power in that ye soffre the same affliccyons, which we also suffre: or whether we be comforted for youre consolacyon and saluacyon: ⁷ our hope also is stedfast for you: in as moche as we know, how that as ye are partetakers of the affliccyons, so shall ye be partakers also of the consolacyon. ⁸ Brethren, I wolde not haue you ignoraunt of oure trouble, which happened vnto vs in Asia. For we were greued out of measure passing strength, so greatly that we despayred euen of lyfe.

⁸ We are troubled on euery syde, yet are we not without shyft. We are in pouertie: but not vtterly without somwhat. ⁹ We suffre persecucion: but are not forsaken therin. We are cast downe: neuerthelesse we perysshe not. ¹⁰ We all wayes beare aboute in the bodye, the dyinge of the Lorde Iesus, that the lyfe of Iesu myght also appeare in oure bodye. ¹¹ For we which lyue, are alwayes delyuered vnto deeth for Iesus sake, that the lyfe also of Iesu myght appere in oure mortall flesshe ¹² So then, deeth worketh in vs, but lyfe in you.

⁴ I am very bolde ouer you, I reioyce greatly in you. I am fylled with comforte, and am exceadynge ioyouse in all oure tribulacyon.

²³ They are the mynisters of Chryst (I speake as a foole) I am more. In labours more aboundante: In strypes aboue measure: In preson more plenteouslye: In deeth ofte. ²⁴ Of the Iewes fyue tymes receaued I euery tyme .xl. strypes saue one. ²⁵ Thryse was I beaten wt roddes, I was once stoned, I suffered thryse shypwracke. Nyght and daye haue I bene in the deepe see. ²⁶ In iorneying often: in parels of waters: in parels of robbers: in ieopardyes of myne awne nacyon: in ieopardyes among the hethen: in parels in the citie: in parels in wildernes: in parels in the see: in parels amonge false brethren: ²⁷ in laboure & trauayle: in watchinges often: in honger and thyrst: in fastynges often: in colde and nakednes:

¹ For this cause, I Paul am a presoner of Iesus Chryst for you Hethen:

¹³ Wherfore I desyre, that ye faynt not because of my tribulacions that I suffre for youre sakes: which is youre prayse.

¹⁷ Yee and though I be offered vp vpon the offeringe & sacrifyce of youre fayth: I reioyce and reioyce with you all. ¹⁸ For the same cause also do ye reioyce, and reioyce with me.

¹⁰ that I maye knowe hym and the vertue of hys resurrecyon, and the fellowshyppe of hys passyons, whyle I am conformable vnto hys (deeth)

¹⁸ And he is the heed of the body, euen of the congregacyon: he is the begynnynge and fyrst begotten of the deed, that in all thynges he myght haue the preeminence.

⁸ Be not thou therfore ashamed of the testimony of oure Lorde, nether be ashamed of me whych am his presoner: but suffre thou aduersytie with the Gospell, accordynge to the power of God,

⁹ wherin I suffre trouble as an euyll doar, euen vnto bondes. But the worde of God was not bounde. ¹⁰ Therfore I suffre all thynges, for the electes sakes, that they myght also obtayne the saluacion, which is in Christ Iesu, with eternall glory.

² My brethren, count it for an excedyng ioye, when ye fall into diuers temptacyons:

¹⁵ Neuerthelesse (brethren) I haue some what more boldly wrytten vnto you, partely to put you in remembraunce, thorow the grace that is geuen me of God, ¹⁶ that I shuld be the minister of Iesu Christ amonge the Gentyls, & shuld minyster the Gospell of God, that the offeryng of the gentyls myght be acceptable, & sanctified by the holy ghost. ¹⁷ I haue therfore wherof I maye reioyse thorow Chryst Iesu, in those thinges which pertayne to God. ¹⁸ For I dare not speake of eny of those thynges, whych Chryst hath not wrought by me, to make the Gentyls obedient, with worde and dede, ¹⁹ in myghty sygnes & wonders, by the power of the sprete of God: so that from Ierusalem & the coastes rounde aboute vnto Illyrycum, I haue fylled all countres with the Gospell of Christ.

¹⁷ If I do it wt a good will, I haue a reward. But yf I do it against my will, an office is committed vnto me.

⁷ But contrary wyse, when they sawe that the gospell ouer the vncircumcision was committed vnto me, as the gospell ouer the circumcisyon was commytted vnto Peter. ⁸ For he that was myghty in Peter in the Apostleshyppe ouer the circumcisyon, the same was myghty in me amonge the Gentyls.

² preache thou the worde, be feruent, in season & oute of season. Improue, rebuke, exhorte wt all longe sufferynge and doctryne. ³ For the tyme will come, when they shall not suffer wholsome doctryne: but after their awne lustes shall they (whose eares ytche) gett them an heepe of teachers, ⁴ and shall withdrawe their eares from the trueth, and shalbe turned vnto fables. ⁵ But watche thou in all thynges, suffre affliccyons, do the worke thorowlye of an Euangelist, fulfyll thyne offyce vnto the vtmost.

¹⁴ The secrete of the Lorde is amonge them that feare him & he wyll shewe them hys couenaunt.

¹¹ He answered and sayde vnto them: it is geuen vnto you to knowe the secretes of the kyngdome of heauen, but to them it is not geuen.

¹¹ And he sayde vnto them. To you is it geuen to knowe the mystery of the kyngdome of God. But vnto them that are with out, all thinges happen by parables:

¹⁰ And he sayd: vnto you is it geuen to knowe the secretes of the kingdome of God: but to other by parables, that when they se, they shuld not se: & when they heare, they shuld not vnderstande.

²⁵ To him that is of power to stablisshe you, according to my Gospell, & preaching of Iesus Christ in vtterynge of the mistery whych was kept secret sence the worlde beganne, ²⁶ but now is opened by the scriptures of the prophetes at the commaundement of the euerlastynge God, to stere vp obedience to the fayth, publysshed amonge all nacions:

⁷ but we speake the wysdome of God, whych is in secrete & lyeth hyd, which God ordeyned before the worlde, vnto oure glory:

³ For by reuelacion shewed he the mistery vnto me, as I wrote afore in feawe wordes ⁴ wherby when ye reade, ye maye vnderstand my knowledge in the mistery of Christ, ⁵ which mistery in tymes passed was not opened vnto the sonnes of men, as it is nowe declared vnto hys holy Apostles and Prophetes by the sprete: ⁶ that the Gentyls shulde be inheritours also, and of the same body, and partetakers of hys promes in Christ, by the meanes of the Gospell, ⁷ wherof I am made a mynyster, accordinge to the gyfte of the grace of God which is geuen vnto me after the workynge of hys power. ⁸ Unto me the least of all saynctes is this grace geuen, that I shulde preache amonge the Gentyls the vnsearcheable riches of Christ

¹⁰ but is nowe declared openly by the appearynge of oure sauyour Iesu Christ whych hath put awaye deeth, and hath brought lyfe and immortalite vnto lyght thorowe the Gospell,

⁹ I haue set God alwayes before me, for he is on my right hande, therfore I shall not fall. ¹⁰ Wherfore my hert was glad, & my glory reioysed, my flesh also shall rest in hope. ¹¹ For why? thou shalt not leaue my soule in hell, nether shalt thou suffre thy holy one to se corrupcion. Thou shalt shewe me the path of lyfe: in thy presence is the fulnesse of ioye, and at thy ryght hande ther is pleasure for euermore.

²¹ nether shal they saye. Lo here, Or lo there: For beholde the kyngdome of God is within you.

⁵⁶ He that eateth my flesshe & drinketh my bloude, dwelleth in me and I in him.

¹⁷ euen the sprete of treuth, whom the world cannot receaue, because the worlde seeth hym not, nether knoweth him. But ye knowe him. For he dwelleth wt you, & shalbe in you.

²⁰ That daye shall ye knowe that I am in my father, and you in me, and I in you.

²³ Iesus answered & sayd: vnto them: yf a man loue me, he will kepe my sayinges, and my father wyll loue hym, and we wyll come vnto hym, and dwell wt hym.

² Euery braunche that beareth not frute in me, he will take awaye. And euery braunche that beareth frute, will he pourge, that it maye bring forth more frute. ³ Nowe are ye cleane thorow the wordes which I haue spoken vnto you. ⁴ Byde in me, and I in you. As the braunche cannot beare frute of it selfe, excepte it byde in the vyne: nomore can ye, except ye abyde in me. ⁵ I am the vyne, ye are the braunches. He that abydeth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth moche frute. For without me can ye do nothing.

²² And the glory which thou gauest me, I haue geuen them, that they maye be one, as we also are one. ²³ I in them, and thou in me, that they maye be made parfecte in one, & that the worlde maye knowe, that thou hast sent me, and hast loued them as thou hast loued me.

²⁶ And I haue declared vnto them thy name, and will declare it, that the loue wherwith thou hast loued me, maye be in them, & I in them.

² by whom also it chaunsed vnto vs to be brought in thorow fayth, vnto thys grace, wherin we stande, and reioyce in hope of the glory of God.

¹⁰ If Chryst be in you, the body is deed because of synne: but the spryte is lyfe for ryghtewesnes sake.

¹⁸ For I suppose that the afflyccyons of thys lyfe, are not worthy of the glory, which shalbe shewed vpon vs. ¹⁹ For the feruent desyre of the creature abydeth, lokyng, when the sonnes of God shall appere,

³³ O the depnes of the ryches both of the wysdome and knowledge of God: how vnsercheable are his iudgementes, & his wayes past fyndynge out;

¹² And we haue not receaued the sprete of the worlde: but the sprete which commeth of God, for to knowe the thynges that are geuen to vs of God: ¹³ which thynges also we speake (not wt wordes that mannes wysdome teacheth, but wt wordes whych the holy ghost doth teache) makyng spirituall comparisons of spretuall thinges. ¹⁴ The naturall man perceaueth not the thinges that belonge to the sprete of God. For they are but folyshnes vnto him. Nether can he perceaue them, because they are spretually examined.

¹⁶ Knowe ye not, that ye are the temple of God, & how that the sprete of God dwelleth in you?

¹⁷ For oure tribulacyon which is momentany and lyght. prepareth an excedinge & an eternall wayght of glorye vnto vs,

¹⁶ Or how agreeth the temple of God with Images for ye are the temple of the lyuinge God, as sayde God? I wyll dwell amonge them, & walcke amonge them, and wylbe their God: & they shalbe my people.

¹⁵ But when it pleased God, which seperated me from my mothers wombe, and called me here unto by hys grace, ¹⁶ for to declare hys sonne by me, that I shulde preache hym amonge the Heathen: immediatly I commened not of the matter with flessh & bloude,

²⁰ I am crucified wt Christ. Neuertheles I lyue: yet nowe not I, but Christ lyueth in me. The lyfe which I nowe lyue in the flesshe, I lyue by the fayth of the sonne of God which loued me, and gaue hym selfe for me.

¹⁹ My lytell chyldren, of whom I trauayle in byrth agayne, vntill Christ be fasshyoned in you,

¹⁷ that the God of oure Lorde Iesus Chryst, the father of glory, maye geue vnto you the sprete of wysdome and reuelacyon, by the knowledge of him selfe, ¹⁸ and lyghten the eyes of youre myndes, that ye maye knowe what the hope is, where vnto he hath called you, and howe riche the glorye is of his inheritaunce vpon the saynctes,

²² in whom ye also are buylt together, to be an habitacion of God thorowe the ghost.

¹⁶ that he wolde graunt you accordynge to the ryches of hys glorye, that ye maye be strengthed with might by his sprete in the inner man, ¹⁷ that Christ maye dwell in youre hertes by fayth, that ye beynge roted and grounded in loue,

¹⁹ My God shall supplye all youre nede thorow his gloryous riches by Iesu Christ.

⁵ for the hopes sake which is layd vp in store for you in heauen, of which hope, ye herde before by the true worde of the Gospell,

¹ Paul an Apostle of Iesus Christ, by the commyssyon of God our sauyour, & Lord Iesus Christ, which is our hope.

⁴ Lyttell chyldren, ye are of God, and haue ouercome them: for greater is he that is in you, then he that is in the worlde.

²⁰ Beholde, I stande at the dore, & knocke. If eny man heare my voyce, and open the dore, I wyll come in to hym, and wyll suppe with hym, and he with me.

⁵ Behold I haue taught you ordinaunces and lawes, soch as the Lorde my God commaunded me, that ye shulde do euen so in the lande, whether ye go to possesse it.

⁵ Take hede vnto knowledge O ye ignoraunt be wyse in herte, O ye foles.

⁹ All is but vanite (sayth the Preacher) all is but playne vanyte.

¹⁵ and wyll geue you herdmen after myne awne mynde, which shall fede you with learnynge and wysdome.

¹⁰ But vnto whom shall I speake, whom shall I warne that he maye take hede? Their eares are so vncircumcised, that they maye not heare. Beholde, they take the worde of God but for a scorne, & haue no lust therto.

¹⁷ Thou sonne of man, I haue made the a watchman vnto the house of Israell: therfore take good hede to the wordes of my mouthe, & geue them warnynge at my commaundement. ¹⁸ If I saye vnto the, concernynge the vngodly man, that (wythout doute) he must dye, and thou geuest hym not warnynge, ner speakest vnto hym, that he may turne from hys euell waye, and so to lyue: Then shall the same vngodly man dye in his awne vnryghteousnes: but hys bloude wyll I requyre of thyne hand. ¹⁹ Neuertheles, yf thou geue warnynge vnto the wycked, and he yet forsake not his vngodlynesse: then shall he dye in his awne wyckednesse, but thou hast discharged thy soule. ²⁰ Nowe yf a ryghteous man go from his ryghteousnesse, and do the thynge that is euell: I will laye a stomblynge blocke before him, and he shall dye because thou hast not geuen hym warnyng: yee, dye shall he in hys awne synne, so that the vertue, whych he dyd before, shall not be thought vpon: but his bloude wyll I requyre of thyne hande. ²¹ Neuerthelesse, yf thou exhortest the ryghteous, that he synne not, & so the ryghteous do not synne: then shall he lyue, because he hath receaued thy warnynge, and thou hast discharged thy soule.

¹⁰ Beholde, the daye is here the daye is come, the houre is runne out, the rodde florisheth, pryde waxeth grene,

⁴ If a man now heare the noyse of the trompet & wyll not be warned, and the swearde come: and take him awaye: his bloude shall be vpon his awne head: ⁵ for he herde the sound of the trompet, & wolde not take hede, therfore his bloude be vpon him. But yf he will receaue warninge, he shall saue his lyfe. ⁶ Agayne, yf the watch man se the swearde come, and shewe it not with the trompet, so that the people is not warned: yf the swearde come then, & take eny man from among them: the same shall be taken awaye in his awne synne, but his bloude wyll I require of the watchmans hande. ⁷ And now (O thou sonne of man) I haue made the a watchman vnto the house of Israel: that where as thou hearest eny thinge out of my mouth, thou mayest warne them on my behalfe. ⁸ If I saye vnto the wycked thou wycked, thou shalt surely dye, & thou geuest him not warnynge, that he maye bewarre of his vngodly waye: then shall the wycked dye in his awne synne, but his bloude wyll I require of thy hande. ⁹ Neuertheles, yf thou warne the wycked of hys waye, to turne from it, where as he yet wyll not be turned from it, then shal he dye because of his synne, but thou hast deliuered thy soule.

⁷ But when he sawe many of the Pharises and Saduces come to hys baptyme, he sayd vnto them: O generacion of vypers, who hath taught you to fle from the vengeaunce to come?

⁴⁸ ye shall therfore be perfecte, euen as your father which is in heauen is perfecte.

²⁰ Teachinge them to obserue all thinges, whatsoeuer I haue commaunded you. And lo I am wyth you allwaye, euen vntyll the ende of the worlde.

³⁴ And Iesus went out & sawe moche people, & had compassyon on them, because they were lyke shepe, not hauinge a shepherde. And he beganne to teach them many thynges.

¹⁵ for I wyll geue you a mouth & wysdome, where agaynste, all your aduersaries shall not be able to speake nor resist.

²⁰ and when God shal sende him, which before was preached vnto you, that is to with Iesus Christ,

⁴² And dayly in the temple and in euery house they ceased not, to teach and preach Iesus Christ.

⁵ Then came Philip into a cytie of Samaria, & preached Christ vnto them.

³⁵ Philip opened hys mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached vnto hym Iesus.

²⁰ And straight waye he preached Christ in the Sinagoges, howe that he was the sonne of God,

²⁰ some of them were men of Cypers & Siren: which when they were come to Antioche, spake vnto the Grekes, and preached the Lorde Iesus.

³⁸ Be it knowne vnto you therfore (ye men and brethren) that thorowe thys man is preached vnto you the forgeuenes of sinnes,

³ & allegyng, that Christ must nedes haue suffred, and ryse agayne from deeth, and that thys Iesus was Christ, whom (sayde he) I preach to you.

¹⁸ Certayne Philosophers of the Epicures and of the Stoyckes, disputed with hym. And some ther were which sayde: what will thys babler saye? Other sayde: he semeth to be a tydynges brynger of newe deuyls, because he preacheth vnto them Iesus & the resurreccion.

²⁷ For I haue spared no laboure, but haue shewed you all the counsell of God. ²⁸ Take hede therfore vnto youre selues & to all the flocke amonge whom the holy ghost hath made you ouersears, to rule the congregacyon of God which he hath purchased with his bloude.

³¹ Therfore awake, & remember, that by the space of .iij. yeres: I ceased not to warne euery one of you nyght and daye with teares.

²⁵ To him that is of power to stablisshe you, according to my Gospell, & preaching of Iesus Christ in vtterynge of the mistery whych was kept secret sence the worlde beganne,

²³ But we preache Christ crucifyed, vnto the Iewes an occasyon of fallynge, and vnto the Grekes foolysihnes:

³⁰ And of hym are ye, in Chryst Iesu, whych of God is made vnto vs, wysdome, & rightwesnes, and sanctifyinge, and redempcyon.

⁶ We speake of wysdome amonge them that are perfecte: not the wysdome of this world, nether of the rulars of this worlde (whych go to nought)

¹⁵ But he that is spretual, discusseth all thynges: yet he him selfe is iudged of no man.

¹⁴ I wryte not these thynges, to shame you: but as my beloued sonnes I warne you.

⁸ For to one is geuen thorow the spirite the vtteraunce of wisdome. To another is geuen the vttraunce of knowledge by the same sprete.

¹² If Christ be preached how that he rose from the deed: how saye some amonge you, that ther is no resurreccyon of the deed:

⁵ For we preache not our selues, but Christ Iesus to be the Lorde, and oure selues youre seruauntes, for Iesus sake.

⁸ Unto me the least of all saynctes is this grace geuen, that I shulde preache amonge the Gentyls the vnsearcheable riches of Christ

¹¹ And the very same made some Apostles, some Prophetes, some Euangelistes, some Shepherdes and Teachers: ¹² to the edifyenge of the saynctes, to the worke and ministracyon, euen to the edifyinge of the body of Chryst, ¹³ tyll we all come to the vnitye of fayth, and knowledge of the sonne of God, vnto a perfecte man, vnto the measure of the full perfecte age of Chryst

¹⁵ Some preache Chryst of enuie and stryfe, and some of good wyll, ¹⁶ The one parte preache Chryst of stryfe and not syncerely, supposynge to adde more aduersytie to my bandes. ¹⁷ Agayne the other parte preache of loue, because they knowe, that I am set to defende the Gospell. ¹⁸ What then? So that Chryst be preached anye maner of waye, whether it be by occasyon, or of true meaninge, I am glad therof, ye and wyll be glad.

²² in the body of hys flesshe thorowe deeth, to make you holy, and vnblameable, & without faut in hys awne syght,

⁶ that noman oppresse and defraude his brother in bargaynyng: because that the Lord is the auenger of all soch thinges, as we tolde you before, and testifyed.

¹² We beseche you brethren, that ye knowe them whych laboure amonge you, and haue the ouersyght of you in the Lorde, ¹³ & geue you exhortacyon, that ye haue them in hye reputacyon thorowe loue, for theyr workes sake, and be at peace with them. ¹⁴ We desyre you (brethren) warne them that are vnruly, comforte the feble mynded, lyft vp the weake, be pacient towarde all men.

² A Bisshoppe therfore must be blameles, the husbande of one wyfe, dilygent, sober, discrete, a keper of hospitalite: apte to teach:

¹⁶ And without doute great is that mystery of godlynes: God was shewed in the flesshe, was iustifyed in the sprete, was sene amonge the Angels, was preached vnto the gentyls, was beleued on in the worlde, and receaued vp in glory.

²⁴ The seruaunt of the Lorde must not stryue: but be gentle vnto all men apte to teach, and one that can suffre ²⁵ the euyll with meaknes, and can informe them that resyst yf that God at eny tyme wyll geue them repentaunce, for to knowe the trueth:

¹⁴ For wt one offeringe hath he made parfecte for euer, them that are sanctyfyed.

¹⁵ And suppose that the longe sufferinge of the Lord is saluacyon, euen as oure derely beloued brother Paule also (accordinge to the wysdome geuen vnto him) hath wrytten vnto you,

²⁰ So haue I enforsed my selfe to preache the Gospell, not where Chryst was named, lest I shulde haue bylt on another mannes foundacyon:

²⁵ Euery man that proueth masteries, abstayneth from all thynges. And they do it to obtayne a crowne that shall perysshe: but we to obtayne an euerlasting crowne. ²⁶ I therfore so runne, not as at an vncertayne thyng. So fyght I, not as one that beateth the ayer: ²⁷ but I tame my body, & brynge it into subieccyon, lest by anye meanes it come to passe, that whan I haue preached to other, I my selfe shulde be a cast awaye.

⁶ And ther are dyuers maners of operacyons, and yet but one God whych worcketh all in all.

¹¹ But these all worketh euen the selfe same sprete, diuidynge to euery man a seuerall gyfte, euen as he wyll.

¹⁰ But by the grace of God, I am that I am. And his grace which is in me, was not in vayne: But I labored moare aboundauntly then they all, yet not I, but the grace of God which is with me

⁹ Wherfore, whether we be at home or from home, we endeuoure oure selues, to please him.

⁵ in strypes, in presonmentes: in stryfes: in laboures, in watchynges, in fastynges,

³ seynge that ye seke experience of Christ which speaketh in me, which among you is not weake but is myghtye in you.

¹⁹ and what is the excedinge greatnes of his power to vs warde, which beleue accordynge to the workynge of that his mighty power,

⁷ wherof I am made a mynyster, accordinge to the gyfte of the grace of God which is geuen vnto me after the workynge of hys power.

²⁰ Unto hym that is able to do exceadynge aboundantly aboue all that we aske or thynke accordynge to the power that worketh in in vs,

³⁰ hauynge euen soche a fyght, as ye sawe in me, and nowe heare of me.

¹³ For it is God, which worketh in you, both the wyll and also the dede, euen of good wyll.

¹⁶ holdynge faste the worde of lyfe, that I maye reioyce in the daye of Chryst, howe that I haue not runne in vayne, nether haue laboured in vayne.

¹ For I wolde that ye knewe howe greate care that I haue for you and for them that are at Laodicia, and for as many as haue not sene my parson in the flessh,

⁹ Ye remember brethren oure laboure, and trauayle. For we laboured daye & nyght because we wolde not be chargeable vnto eny of you, and preached vnto you the Gospell of God.

⁸ Nether toke we breed of eny man for naught: but wrought wt laboure & sweate nyght & daye, because we wolde not be chargeable to eny of you:

¹⁰ Therfore I suffre all thynges, for the electes sakes, that they myght also obtayne the saluacion, which is in Christ Iesu, with eternall glory.

⁴ For ye haue not yet resysted vnto bloud, striuynge agaynst synne.

³ & hast suffred. And hast pacience: and for my names sake hast labored, and hast not faynted.
