¹⁵ Because the lawe causeth wrathe. For where no lawe is there is no trasgression.

¹ Wherfore laye asyde all maliciousnes and all gyle and dissimulacion and envie and all backbytynge: ² and as newe borne babes desyre that reasonable mylke which is with out corrupcion that ye maye growe therin. ³ If so be that ye have tasted how plesaunt the lorde is ⁴ to whom ye come as vnto a livynge stone disalowed of men but chosen of god and precious: ⁵ and ye as lyvynge stones are made a spretuall housse and an holy presthode for to offer vp spretuall sacryfice acceptable to god by Iesus Christ. ⁶ Wherfore it is contayned in the scripture: beholde I put in Sion an heed corner stone electe and precious: and he that beleveth on him shall not be ashamed. ⁷ Vnto you therfore which beleve he is precious: but vnto them which beleve not ye stone which ye bylders refused ye same is made ye heed stone in the corner ⁸ and a stone to stomble at and a rocke to offende them which stomble at the worde and beleve not that where on they were set. ⁹ But ye are a chosyn generacion a royall presthod an holy nacio and a peculiar people that ye shuld shewe the vertues of him that called you out of darknes into hys marvelous light ¹⁰ which in tyme past were not a people yet are now the people of God: which were not vnder mercye but now have obteyned mercye. ¹¹ Derly beloved I beseche you as straugers and pilgrems abstayne from flesshly lustes which fyght agaynst the soule ¹² and se that ye have honest conversacion amonge the getyls that they which backbyte you as evyll doars maye se youre good workes and prayse god in the daye of visitacion. ¹³ Submit youre selves vnto all manner ordinaunce of man for the lordes sake whether it be vnto the kynge as vnto the chefe heed: ¹⁴ other vnto rulars as vnto them that are sent of him for the punysshment of evyll doars: but for the laude of them that do well. ¹⁵ For so is the will of god that ye put to sylence the ygnorancie of the folyshe men: ¹⁶ as fre and not as havinge ye libertie for a cloke of maliciousnes but even as the servautes of god. ¹⁷ Honoure all men. Love brotherly felishippe.

¹⁵ And he sayd vnto the: Ye are they which iustifie youre selves before me: but God knoweth youre hertes. For ye which is highlie estemed amoge me is abhominable in yt sight of god

¹ And I brethren when I came to you came not in gloriousnes of wordes or of wysdome shewynge vnto you the testimony of God. ² Nether shewed I my selfe that I knewe eny thinge amonge you save Iesus Christ eve the same that was crucified. ³ And I was amoge you in weaknes and in feare and in moche treblinge. ⁴ And my wordes and my preachinge were not with entysynge wordes of manes wysdome: but in shewinge of ye sprete and of power ⁵ that youre fayth shuld not stonde in ye wysdome of me but in yt power of God. ⁶ That we speake of is wysdome amonge them that are perfecte: not the wysdome of this worlde nether of the rulars of this worlde (which go to nought) ⁷ but we speake ye wysdome of God which is in secrete and lieth hyd which God ordeyned before the worlde vnto oure glory: ⁸ which wysdome none of ye rulars of the worlde knewe. For had they knowe it they wolde not have crucified the Lorde of glory. ⁹ But as it is written: The eye hath not sene and the eare hath not hearde nether have entred into the herte of man ye thinges which God hath prepared for them that love him. ¹⁰ But God hath opened them vnto vs by his sprete. For ye sprete searcheth all thinges ye the bottome of Goddes secretes. ¹¹ For what man knoweth the thinges of a ma: save ye sprete of a man which is with in him? Even so ye thinges of God knoweth no man but ye sprete of god. ¹² And we have not receaved the sprete of ye worlde: but the sprete which cometh of god for to knowe the thinges that are geve to vs of god ¹³ which thinges also we speake not in the conynge wordes of manes wysdome but with the conynge wordes of the holy goost makynge spretuall coparesons of spretuall thinges. ¹⁴ For ye naturall man perceaveth not the thinges of the sprete of god. For they are but folysshnes vnto him. Nether can he perceave them because he is spretually examined. ¹⁵ But he that is spretuall discusseth all thinges: yet he him selfe is iudged of no ma. ¹⁶ For who knoweth the mynde of the Lorde other who shall informe him? But we vnderstonde the mynde of Christ.

² for in many thinges we synne all. Yf a man synne not in worde the same is a parfecte ma and able to tame all the body. ³ Are ye so vnwyse that after ye have begonne in the sprete ye wolde nowe ende in the flesshe?

⁹ Yf we knowledge oure synnes he is faythfull and iust to forgeve vs oure synnes and to clense vs from all vnrightewesnes.

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.

¹ Ther is then no damnacion to them which are in Christ Iesu which walke not after ye flesshe: but after ye sprete. ² For the lawe of the sprete yt bringeth life thorowe Iesus Christ hath delivered me fro the lawe of synne and deeth. ³ For what the lawe coulde not doo in as moche it was weake because of the flesshe: that performed God and sent his sonne in the similitude of synfull flesshe and by synne daned synne in ye flesshe: ⁴ that the rightewesnes requyred of the lawe myght be fulfilled in vs which walke not after the flesshe but after the sprete. ⁵ For they that are carnall are carnally mynded. But they that are spirituall are gostly mynded. ⁶ To be carnally mynded is deeth. But to be spiritually mynded is lyfe and peace. ⁷ Because that the flesshly mynde is emnyte agaynst God: for it is not obedient to the lawe of God nether can be. ⁸ So then they yt are geven to the flesshe canot please God. ⁹ But ye are not geven to the flesshe but to the sprete: yf so be that ye sprite of God dwell in you. If ther be eny man yt hath not ye sprite of Christ ye same is none of his. ¹⁰ Yf Christ be in you the body is deed because of synne: but the sprite is lyfe for rightewesnes sake. ¹¹ Wherfore if the sprite of him that raysed vppe Iesus fro deeth dwell in you: even he that raysed vp Christ from deeth shall quycken youre mortall bodyes because that this sprite dwelleth in you. ¹² Therfore brethren we are nowe detters not to the flesshe to live after the flesshe. ¹³ For if ye live after the flesshe ye must dye. But yf ye mortifie the dedes of the body by the helpe of the sprite ye shall lyve. ¹⁴ For as many as are led by the sprete of God: they are the sonnes of god. ¹⁵ For ye have no receaved the sprete of bondage to feare eny moare but ye have receaved the sprite of adopcion wherby we crye Abba father. ¹⁶ The same sprete certifieth oure sprete yt we are the sonnes of God. ¹⁷ Yf we be sonnes we are also heyres the heyres I meane of God and heyres anexed with Christ: if so be that we suffer togedder that we maye be glorified to gedder. ¹⁸ For I suppose that the affliccions of this lyfe are not worthy of the glory which shalbe shewed vpon vs. ¹⁹ Also the fervent desyre of the creatures abideth lokynge when the sonnes of God shall appere ²⁰ because the creatures are subdued to vanyte agaynst their will: but for his will which subdueth them in hope. ²¹ For ye very creatures shalbe delivered from the bondage of corrupcion into the glorious lybertie of the sonnes of God. ²² For we knowe that every creature groneth with vs also and travayleth in payne even vnto this tyme. ²³ Not they only but even we also which have the fyrst frutes of the sprite morne in oureselves and wayte for the (adopcio) and loke for the delivraunce of oure bodyes. ²⁴ For we are savyd by hope. But hope that is sene is no hope. For how can a ma hope for that which he seyth? ²⁵ But and yf we hope for that we se not then do we with pacience abyde for it. ²⁶ Lyke wyse ye sprite also helpeth oure infirmities. For we knowe not what to desyre as we ought: but the sprete maketh intercession mightely for vs with gronynges which canot be expressid with tonge. ²⁷ And he that searcheth the hertes knoweth what is ye meaninge of the sprite: for he maketh intercession for the sayntes accordinge to ye pleasure of god. ²⁸ For we knowe that all thinges worke for the best vnto them yt love God which also are called of purpose. ²⁹ For those which he knewe before he also ordeyned before yt they shuld be lyke fassioned vnto the shape of his sonne that he myght be ye fyrst begotten sonne amoge many brethren. ³⁰ Morover which he apoynted before them he also called. And which he called them also he iustified which he iustified them he also glorified. ³¹ What shall we then saye vnto these thinges? yf god be on oure syde: who can be agaynst vs? ³² which spared not his awne sonne but gave him for vs all: how shall he not wt him geve vs all thinges also? ³³ Who shall laye eny thinge to ye charge of goddes chosen? it is god that iustifieth: ³⁴ who then shall condempne? it is Christ which is deed ye rather which is rysen agayne which is also on the ryght honde of God and maketh intercession for vs. ³⁵ Who shall seperate vs fro the love of god? shall tribulacion? or anguysshe? or persecucion? other honger? other nakednesse? other parell? other swearde? ³⁶ As it is written: For thy sake are we kylled all daye longe and are counted as shepe apoynted to be slayne. ³⁷ Neverthelesse in all these thinges we overcome strongly thorow his helpe that loved vs. ³⁸ Ye and I am sure that nether deeth nether lyfe nether angels nor rule nether power nether thinges present nether thinges to come ³⁹ nether heyth nether loweth nether eny other creature shalbe able to departe vs fro ye love of God shewed in Christ Iesu oure lorde.

⁸ Yf we saye that we have no synne we deceave oure selves and trueth is not in vs.

⁹ And he sayde vnto me: my grace is sufficient for the. For my stregth is made perfact thorow weaknes. Very gladly therfore will I reioyce of my weaknes that the strength of Christ maye dwell in me ¹⁰ Therfore have I delectacion in infirmities in rebukes in nede in persecucions in anguyshe for Christis sake. For when I am weake then am I stronge.
