Wycliffe(i)
1 Bigynnen we therfor eftsoone to preise vs silf? or whether we neden, as summen, pistlis of preisinge to you, or of you?
2 Ye ben oure pistle, writun in oure hertis, which is knowun and red of alle men,
3 and maad opyn, for ye ben the pistle of Crist mynystrid of vs, and writun, not with enke, but bi the spirit of the lyuynge God; not in stony tablis, but in fleischli tablis of herte.
4 For we han such trist bi Crist to God;
5 not that we ben sufficient to thenke ony thing of vs, as of vs, but oure sufficience is of God.
6 Which also made vs able mynystris of the newe testament, not bi lettre, but bi spirit; for the lettre sleeth, but the spirit quykeneth.
