Tyndale(i) 1 Paul and Timotheus the servauntes of Iesu Christ To all ye sainctes in Christ Iesu which are at Philippos with ye Bisshops and Deacons. 2 Grace be with you and peace from God oure father and from the Lorde Iesus Christ. 3 I thanke my God with all remembraunce of you 4 all wayes in all my prayers for you and praye with gladnes 5 because of the fellowshyp which ye have in the gospell from the fyrst daye vnto now: 6 and am suerly certified of this that he which beganne a good worke in you shall go forthe with it vntyll the daye of Iesus Christ 7 as it becometh me so to iudge of you all because I have you in my herte and have you also every one companios of grace with me even in my bondes as I defende and stablysshe the gospell. 8 For God beareth me recorde how greatly I longe after you all from the very herte rote in Iesus Christ. 9 And this I praye yt youre love maye increace more and more in knowledge and in all fealinge 10 that ye myght accepte thinges most excellent that ye myght be pure and soche as shuld hurte no manes conscience vntyll the daye of Christ 11 filled with the frutes of rightewesnes which frutes come by Iesus Christ vnto the glory and laude of God. 12 I wolde ye vnderstode brethern that my busynes is happened vnto the greater furtherynge of the gospell. 13 So that my bondes in Christ are manyfest thorow out all the iudgement hall and in all other places: 14 In so moche that many of the brethre in ye lorde are boldned thorow my bodes and dare more largely speake the worde with out feare. 15 Some ther are which preache Christ of envie and stryfe and some of good wyll. 16 The one parte preacheth Christ of stryfe and not purely supposinge to adde more adversitie to my bondes. 17 The other parte of love because they se that I am set to defend the gospell. 18 What then? So that Christ be preached all maner wayes whether it be by occasion or of true meaninge I therin ioye: ye and will ioye. 19 For I knowe that this shall chaunce to my salvacion thorow youre prayer and ministringe of the sprete of Iesu Christ 20 as I hertely loke for and hope that in nothinge I shalbe ashamed: but that with all confidence as all wayes in tymes past even so now Christ shalbe magnified in my body whether it be thorowe lyfe or els deeth. 21 For Christ is to me lyfe and deeth is to me a vauntage. 22 Yf it chaunce me to live in the flesshe that is to me frutefull forto worke and what to chose I wote not. 23 I am constrayned of two thinges: I desyre to be lowsed and to be with Christ which thinge is best of all. 24 Neverthelesse to abyde in the flesshe is moare nedfull for you. 25 And this am I sure of that I shall abyde and with you all continue for the furtheraunce and ioye of youre fayth 26 that ye maye moare aboundantly reioyce in Iesus Christ thorowe me by my comminge to you agayne. 27 Only let yovre conversacion be as it be cometh the gospell of Christ: that whether I come and se you or els be absent I maye yet heare of you that ye contynue in one sprete and in one soule labouringe as we do to mayntayne the fayth of the gospell 28 and in nothynge fearinge youre adversaries: which is to them a token of perdicion and to you of salvacion and that of God. 29 For vnto you it is geven that not only ye shulde beleve on Christ: but also suffre for his sake 30 and have eve the same fight which ye sawe me have and now heare of me. 2 1 If ther be amoge you eny consolacion in Christ yf ther be eny cofortable love yf there be eny fellishippe of the sprete yf ther be eny copassion or mercy: 2 fulfyll my ioye that ye drawe one waye havinge one love beynge of one accorde and of one mynde 3 that nothinge be done thorow stryfe or vayne glory but that in mekenes of mynde every man esteme other better then him selfe 4 and that no man consyder his awne but what is mete for other. 5 Let the same mynde be in you that was in Christ Iesu: 6 Which beynge in the shape of god and thought it not robbery to be equall with god. 7 Neverthelesse he made him silfe of no reputacion and toke on him the shape of a servaunte and became lyke vnto men 8 and was founde in his aparell as a man. He humbled him silfe and became obediet vnto ye deeth even the deeth of the crosse. 9 Wherfore god hath exalted him and geve him a name above all names: 10 that in the name of Iesus shuld every knee bowe bothe of thinges in heve and thinges in erth and thinges vnder erth 11 and that all tonges shuld confesse that Iesus Christ is the lorde vnto the prayse of God the father. 12 Wherfore my dearly beloved as ye have al ways obeyed not when I was present only but now moche more in myne absence even so worke out youre awne saluacio with feare and tremblynge. 13 For it is god which worketh in you both ye will and also yt dede eve of good will 14 Do all thynge with out murmurynge and disputynge 15 that ye maye be fautelesse and pure and the sonnes of God with out rebuke in ye middes of a croked and a perverse nacion amonge which se that ye shyne as lightes in the worlde 16 holdinge fast the worde of lyfe vnto my reioysynge in ye daye of Christ that I have not runne in vayne nether have labored in vayne. 17 Yee and though I be offered vp vpon the offerynge and sacrifice of youre fayth: I reioyce and reioyce with you all. 18 For the same cause also reioyce ye and reioyce ye with me. 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 stonde in. 20 For I have no ma that is so lyke mynded to me which with so pure affeccio careth for youre matters. 21 For all other seke ytir awne and not that which is Iesus Christes 22 Ye knowe the proffe of him howe that as a sone with the father so with me bestowed he his labour apon the gospell. 23 Him I hope to sende assone as I knowe how it will go with me. 24 I trust in the lorde I also my silfe shall come shortly. 25 I supposed it necessary to sende brother Epaphroditus vnto you my companion in laboure and felowe soudier youre Apostel and my minister at my nedes. 26 For he longed after you and was full of hevines because that ye had hearde saye that he shuld be sicke. 27 And no doute he was sicke and that nye vnto deeth. But god had mercy on him: not on him only but on me also lest I shuld have had sorowe apon sorowe. 28 I sent him therfore the diligentliar that when ye shuld se him ye myght reioyce agayne and I myght be the lesse sorowfull. 29 Receave him therfore in the lorde with all gladnes and make moche of soche: 30 because that for ye worke of Christ he went so farre that he was nye vnto deeth and regarded not his lyfe to fulfill that service which was lackynge on youre parte towarde me. 3 1 Morover my brethren reioyce in the lorde. It greveth me not to write one thinge often to you. For to you it is a sure thynge. 2 Beware of dogges beware of evyll workers. Beware of dissencion. 3 For we are circucision which worshippe god in the sprete and reioyce in Christ Iesu and have no confidence in the flesshe: 4 though I have wherof I myght reioyce in the flesshe. Yf eny other man thynketh that he hath wherof he myght trust in the flesshe: moche moare I: 5 circumcised the eyght daye of ye kynred of Israhell of ye trybe of Beniamyn an Ebrue borne of ye Ebrues: as concernynge the lawe a pharisaye 6 and as concernynge fervetnes I perseuted the congregacion and as touchynge the rightewesnes which is in the lawe I was vnrebukable. 7 But the thynges that were vauntage vnto me I counted losse for Christes sake. 8 Ye I thinke all thynges but losse for that excellet knowledges sake of Christ Iesu my lorde. For whom I have counted all thynge losse and do iudge them but donge that I myght wynne Christ 9 and myght be founde in him not havynge myne awne rightewesnes which is of the lawe: But that which spryngeth of the fayth which is in Christ. I meane the rightewesnes which cometh of God thorowe fayth 10 in knowynge him and the vertue of his resurreccion and the fellowshippe of his passions that I myght be coformable vnto his (deeth) 11 yf by eny meanes I myght attayne vnto the resurreccion from deeth. 12 Not as though I had all redy attayned to it Ether were all redy parfect: but I folowe yf yt I maye comprehende that wherin I am comprehended of Christ Iesu. 13 Brethren I counte not my silfe that I have gotten it: but one thynge I saye: I forget yt which is behynde and stretche my silfe vnto that which is before 14 and preace vnto ye marke apoynted to obtayne the rewarde of the hye callynge of god in Christ Iesu. 15 Let vs therfore as many as be perfect be thus wyse minded: and yf ye be other wyse mynded I praye God open even this vnto you. 16 Neverthelesse in that wher vnto we are come let vs procede by one rule yt we maye be of one acorde. 17 Brethren be folowers of and me loke on them which walke even so as ye have vs for an ensample. 18 For many walke (of whom I have tolde you often and now tell you wepynge) that they are ye enemyes of ye crosse of Christ 19 whose ende is dampnacio whose God is their bely and whose glory is to their shame which are worldely mynded. 20 But oure conversacion is in heven from whence we loke for a saveour enen the lorde Iesus Christ 21 which shall chaunge oure vile bodies that they maye be fassioned lyke vnto his glorious body acordinge to the workynge wherby he is able to subdue all thinges vnto hym silfe. 4 1 Herfore my brethren dearly beloved and longed for my ioye and croune so continue in the lorde ye beloved. 2 I praye Evodias and beseche Sintiches that they be of one accorde in the lorde. 3 Yee and I beseche the faythfull yockfelowe helpe the wemen which labored with me in the gospell and with Clement also and with other my labour felowes whose names are in the boke of lyfe. 4 Reioyce in the Lorde alwaye and agayne I saye reioyce. 5 Let youre softenes be knowen vnto all men. The lorde is even at honde. 6 Be not carfull: but in all thynges shewe youre peticion vnto god in prayer and suplicacion wt gevynge of thankes. 7 And the peace of god which passeth all vnderstondinge kepe youre hertes and myndes in christ Iesu. 8 Furthermore brethren whatsoever thinges are true whatsoever thynges are honest what soever thynges are iust whatsoever thynges are pure whatsoever thynges pertayne to love whatsoever thynges are of honest reporte: yf ther be eny verteous thynge yf there be eny laudable thynge 9 those same have ye in youre mynde which ye have both learned and receaved herde and also sene in me: those thynges do and the god of peace shalbe with you. 10 I reioyse in the lorde greatly that now at the last ye are revived agayne to care for me in yt wherein ye were also carefull but ye lacked oportunite. 11 I speake not because of necessitie. For I have learned in whatsoever estate I am therewith to be content. 12 I can both cast doune my silfe I can also excede. Every where and in all thynges I am instructed both to be full and to be hongry: to have plenty and to suffre nede. 13 I can do all thynges thorow the helpe of Christ which strengtheth me. 14 Not wistondynge ye have well done that ye bare parte with me in my tribvlacion. 15 Ye of Philippos knowe that in the begynnynge of the gospell when I departed from Macedonia no congregacion bare parte with me as concernynge gevynge and receavynge but ye only. 16 For when I was in Tessalonica ye sent once and afterwarde agayne vnto my nedes: 17 not that I desyre gyftes: but I desyre aboudant frute on youre parte. 18 I receaved all and have plentie. I was even filled after that I had receaved of Epaphroditus that which came from you an odour that smelleth swete a sacrifice accepted and plesaunt to God. 19 My god fulfill all youre nedes thorow his glorious riches in Iesu Christ. 20 Vnto God and oure father be prayse for ever more. Amen. 21 Salute all the sainctes in Christ Iesu. The brethren which are with me grete you. 22 All the saynctes salute you: and most of all they which are of the Emperours housholde. 23 The grace of oure lorde Iesu Christ be wt you all. Amen

1 1 Paul an Apostle of Iesu Christ by the wyll of God and brother Timotheus. 2 2To the sayntes which are at Colossa and brethren that beleve in Christ.Grace be with you and peace from God oure father and from the Lorde Iesus Christ. 3 We geve thankes to God the father of oure Lorde Iesus Christ alwayes prayenge for you 4 sence we hearde of youre faith which ye have in Christ Iesu and of the love which ye beare to all sayntes 5 for the hopes sake which is layde vp in store for you in heven of which hope ye have herde before by ye true worde of the gospell 6 which is come vnto you eve as it is in to all ye worlde and is frutefull as it is amoge you fro the fyrst daye in ye which ye herde of it and had experiece in ye grace of God in the trueth 7 as ye learned of Epaphra oure deare felowe servaunt which is for you a faythfull minister of Christ 8 which also declared vnto vs youre love which ye have in the sprete. 9 For this cause we also sence the daye we herde of it have not ceasyd prayinge for you and desyringe that ye myght be fulfilled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdome and spretuall vnderstodynge 10 that ye myght walke worthy of the lorde in all thynges that please beynge frutfull in all good workes and encreasynge in ye knowledge of God 11 strengthed with all myght thorowe hys glorious power vnto all pacience and longe sufferynge with ioyfulnes 12 gevynge thankes vnto the father which hath made vs mete to be part takers of the enheritaunce of sainctes in light. 13 Which hath delivered vs from the power of dercknes and hath translated vs in to the kyngdome of his dere sone 14 in whom we have redempcion thurow his bloud that is to saye the forgevenes of sinnes 15 which is the ymage of the invisible god fyrst begotten of all creatures. 16 For by him were all thynges created thynges that are in heven and thynges that are in erth: thynges visible and thynges invisible: whether they be maieste or lordshippe ether rule or power. All thinges are creatyd by hym and in him 17 and he is before all thinges and in him all thynges have their beynge. 18 And he is the heed of the body that is to wit of the congregacion: he is the begynnynge and fyrst begotten of the deed that in all thynges he might have the preeminence. 19 For it pleased the father that in him shuld all fulnes dwell 20 and by him to reconcile all thynge vnto him silfe and to set at peace by him thorow the bloud of his crosse both thynges in heven and thynges in erth. 21 And you (which were in tymes past straungers and enymes because youre myndes were set in evyll workes) hath he now recocilied 22 in ye body of his flesshe thorowe deeth to make you holy vnblameable and with out faut in his awne syght 23 yf ye continue grounded and stablysshed in the fayth and be not moved awaye from the hope of the gospell wher of ye have herde howe that it is preached amonge all creatures which are vnder heven wher of I Paul am made a minister. 24 Now ioye I in my soferinges which I suffre for you and fulfill that which is behynde of the passions of Christ in my flesshe for his bodies sake which is the congregacion 25 wher of I am made a minister acordynge to the ordinaunce of god which ordinaunce was geven me vnto you warde to fulfill ye worde of god 26 that mistery hid sence the worlde beganne and sence ye begynnynge of generacions: but now is opened to his saynctes 27 to whom god wolde make knowen the glorious riches of this mistery amonge the gentyls which riches is Christ in you the hope of glory 28 whom we preach warnynge all men and teachinge all men in all wisdome to make all men parfect in Christ Iesu. 29 Wherin I also laboure and stryve even as farforth as hys workynge worketh in me myghtely. 2 1 I wolde ye knewe what fyghtinge I have for youre sakes and for them of Laodicia and for as many as have not sene my parson in the flesshe 2 that their hertes myght be coforted and knet togedder in love and in all ryches of full vnderstondynge for to knowe ye mistery of God ye father and of Christ 3 in whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. 4 This I saye lest eny man shuld begyle you with entysinge wordes. 5 For though I be absent in the flesshe yet am I present with you in the sprete ioyinge and beholdinge the order that ye kepe and youre stedfast fayth in Christ. 6 As ye have therfore receaved Christ Iesu the Lorde even so walke 7 roted and bylt in him and stedfaste in the fayth as ye have learned: and therin be plenteous in gevynge thankes. 8 Beware lest eny ma come and spoyle you thorow philosophy and disceatfull vanitie thorow the tradicions of me and ordinaunces after the worlde and not after christ. 9 For in him dwelleth all the fulnes of the godheed bodyly 10 and ye are complete in him which is the heed of all rule and power 11 in whom also ye are circucised with circumcision made mith out hondes by puttinge of the sinfull boddy of the flesshe thorow the circumcision yt is in Christ 12 in that ye are buryed with him thorow baptim in whom ye are also rysen agayne thorowe fayth that is wrought by the operacion of god which raysed him from deeth. 13 And ye which weare deed in synne thorow ye vncircucision of youre flesshe hath he quyckened wt him and hath forgeve vs all oure trespases 14 and hath put out ye handwritinge yt was agaynst vs cotayned in ye lawe writte and that hath he take out of the waye and hath fastened it to his crosse 15 and hath spoyled rule and power and hath made a shewe of the openly and hath triumphed over them in his awne persone. 16 Let no ma therfore trouble youre conscieces aboute meate and drynke or for a pece of an holydaye as the holydaye of the newe mone or of the sabboth dayes 17 which are nothinge but shaddowes of thynges to come: but the body is in Christ. 18 Let no man make you shote at a wroge (marke) which after his awne ymaginacion walketh in the humblenes and holynes of angels thinges which he never sawe: causlesse puft vp with his flesshly mynde 19 and holdeth not the heed wherof all the body by ioyntes and couples receaveth norisshment and is knet to gedder and encreaseth with the in creasynge that commeth of god. 20 Wherfore if ye be deed with Christ fro ordinaunces of the worlde why as though ye yet lived in the worlde are ye ledde with tradicios of them that saye? 21 Touche not tast not handell not: 22 which all perysshe wt the vsinge of the and are after the comaundmentes and doctrins of men 23 which thinges have the similitude of wisdome in chosen holynes and humblenes and in that they spare not the body and do the flesshe no worshype vnto his nede. 3 1 If ye be then rysen agayne with christ seke those thynges which are above where Christ sitteth on the right honde of god. 2 Set youre affeccion on thynges yt are above and not on thinges which are on ye erth. 3 For ye are deed and youre lyfe is hid with Christ in god. 4 When Christ which is oure lyfe shall shewe him silfe then shall ye also appere with him in glory. 5 Mortifie therfore youre membres which are on the erth fornicacio vnclennes vnnaturall lust evyll cocupiscece and coveteousnes which is worshippynge of ydols: 6 for which thynges sakes the wrath of God cometh on the chyldren of vnbeleve. 7 In which thynges ye walked once. when ye lived in them. 8 But now put ye also awaye from you all thynges wrath fearsnes maliciousnes cursed speakynge filthy speakynge out of youre mouthes. 9 Lye not one to another that the olde man with his workes be put of 10 and the new put on which is renued in knowledge after the ymage of him that made him 11 where is nether gentile ner Iewe circumcision nor vncircumcision Barbarous or Sithian bonde or fre: but Christe is all in all thynges. 12 Now therfore as electe of god holy and beloved put on tender mercie kyndnes humblenes of myndes meknes longe sufferynge 13 forbearynge one another and forgevynge one another if eny man have a quarrell to a nother even as Christ forgave you even so do ye. 14 Above all these thinges put on love which is the bonde of parfectnes. 15 And ye peace of god rule in youre hertes to ye which peace ye are called in one body. And se that ye be thankfull. 16 Let the worde of Christ dwell in you plenteously in all wisdome. Teache and exhorte youre awne selves in psalmes and hymnes and spretuall songes which have favour wt them syngynge in youre hertes to the lorde. 17 And all thynges (whatsoever ye do in worde or dede) do in the name of the lorde Iesu gevinge thakes to god the father by him. 18 Wyves submit youre selves vnto youre awne husbandes as it is comly in the Lorde. 19 Husbandes love youre wyves and be not bitter vnto them. 20 Children obey youre fathers and mothers in all thinges for that is wel pleasynge vnto the lorde. 21 Fathers rate not youre children lest they be of a desperate mynde. 22 Servauntes be obedient vnto youre bodyly masters in all thynges: not with eye service as men pleasers but in synglenes of herte fearynge god. 23 And whatsoever ye do do it hertely as though ye did it to the lorde and not vnto men for as moche as ye 24 knowe that of the lorde ye shall receave the rewarde of inheritaunce for ye serve the lorde Christ. 25 But he that doth wronge shall receave for the wronge that he hath done: for there is no respect of persons. 4 1 Ye masters do vnto youre servauntes that which is iust and egall seinge ye knowe that ye also have a master in heven. 2 Continue in prayer and watch in the same with thankes 3 gevynge prayenge also for vs that God open vnto vs the dore of vtteraunce that we maye speake the mistery of Christ wherfore I am in bondes: 4 yt I maye vtter it as it becometh me to speake. 5 Walke wysely to them that are with out and redeme ye tyme. 6 Let youre speache be all wayes well favoured and be powdred with salt that ye maye know how to answer every ma. 7 The deare brother Tichicos shall tell you of all my busynes which is a faythfull minister and felowe servaunt in the Lorde 8 whom I have sent vnto you for the same purpose that he myght knowe how ye do and myght comfort youre hertes 9 wt one Onesimus a faythfull and a beloved brother which is one of you. They shall shewe you of all thinges which are adoynge here. 10 Aristarchus my preson felowe saluteth you and Marcus Barnabassis systers sonne: touchinge whom ye receaved commaundementes. Yf he come vnto you receave him: 11 and Iesus which is called Iustus which are of the circumcision. These only are my workefelowes vnto the kyngdome of God which were vnto my consolacion. 12 Epaphras the servaut of Christ which is one of you saluteth you and all wayes laboreth fervently for you in prayers that ye maye stonde perfect and full in all that is the will of God. 13 I beare him recorde that he hath a fervet mynde towarde you and towarde them of Laodicia and them of Hierapolis. 14 Deare Lucas the Phisicion greteth you and Demas. 15 Salute the brethren which are of Laodicia and salute Nymphas and the congregacio which is in his housse. 16 And whe the pistle is reed of you make that it be reed in the congregacion of the Laodicians also: and that ye lyke wyse reade ye epistle of Laodicia. 17 And saye to Archippus: take hede to the office that thou hast receaved in the Lorde that thou fulfill it. 18 The salutacion by the honde of me Paul. Remember my bondes. Grace be with you. Amen.
