For we are made a gasyng stocke vnto the worlde, and to the angels, and to men ¹⁰ We [are] fooles for Christes sake, but ye [are] wyse in Christe. We [are] weake, but ye [are] stronge. Ye [are] honorable, but we [are] despised ¹¹ Euen vnto this time we both hunger and thirste, and are naked, and are buffeted, and haue no certaine dwellyng place ¹² And labour, working with our owne handes. We are reuyled, and we blesse. We are persecuted, and suffer it ¹³ We are euyll spoken of, and we praye: we are made as the fylthynesse of the worlde, the ofscowryng of all thynges vnto this day

¹⁶ Wherfore, I desire you, be ye folowers of me

²⁰ For the kyngdome of God is not in worde, but in power

¹⁹ For though I be free from all men, yet haue I made my selfe seruaunt vnto all men, that I might win the mo ²⁰ Unto the Iewes, I become as a Iewe, that I might win the Iewes: To them that are vnder the lawe, [I become] as [though I were] vnder the lawe, that I might win them that are vnder the lawe ²¹ To them that are without lawe, [become] as [though I were] without lawe, (when I was not without law as parteyning to the lawe of God, but in the lawe of Christe) to winne them that are without lawe ²² To the weake became I as weake, that I might winne the weake. I am made all thinges to all men, that I might at the least way saue some ²³ And this I do for the Gospels sake, that I might haue my part therof

³³ Euen as I please all men in all thynges, not seking myne owne profite, but [the profite] of many, that they might be saued

¹ Be ye the folowers of me, euen as I am of Christe

² Ye knowe yt ye were gentiles, and caryed away vnto dumbe idols, as ye were led

⁷ The manifestation of the spirite, is geuen to euery man, to profite withall ⁸ For to one is geuen by the spirite, the worde of wisdome, to another the word of knowledge, by the same spirite ⁹ To another [is geuen] fayth, by the same spirite: to another the giftes of healyng by the same spirite ¹⁰ To another, power to do miracles, to another, prophesie, to another [iudgement] to discerne spirites, to another, diuers kyndes of tongues, to another, the interpretation of tongues ¹¹ But these all worketh euen one and the selfe same spirite, deuidyng to euery man a seuerall gyft, as he wyll

⁴ Loue suffreth long, and is curteous: Loue enuieth not, loue doth not frowardely, swelleth not ⁵ Dealeth not dishonestlie, seeketh not her owne, is not prouoked to anger, thynketh none euyll ⁶ Reioyceth not in iniquitie: bur reioyceth in the trueth ⁷ Suffreth all thynges, beleueth all thynges, hopeth all thynges, endureth all thynges

¹³ Nowe abydeth fayth, hope, and loue, these three, but the chiefe of these is loue

³⁶ Sproung the worde of God from you? Either came it vnto you only

⁴ And that he was buryed, and that he arose agayne the thirde day, accordyng to the scriptures ⁵ And that he was seene of Cephas, then of the twelue ⁶ After that, he was seene of mo then fiue hundred brethren at once: of which, many remayne vnto this day, & some are fallen a slepe ⁷ After that, he was seene of Iames, then of all the Apostles ⁸ And last of all he was seene of me, as of one borne out of due tyme ⁹ For I am the least of the Apostles, which am not worthy to be called an Apostle, because I persecuted the Churche of God 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 laboured more 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 preache, and so haue ye beleued ¹² If Christe be preached howe that he rose from the dead: howe say some among you, that there is no resurrection of the dead ¹³ If there be no rysyng agayne of the dead, then is Christe not rysen agayne ¹⁴ If Christe be not rysen agayne, then is our preachyng vayne, and your fayth is also vayne ¹⁵ Yea, and we are founde false witnesses of God: For we haue testified of God, howe that he raysed vp Christe, whom he raysed not vp, yf it be so that the dead ryse not agayne ¹⁶ For yf the dead ryse not agayne, then is not Christe rysen agayne ¹⁷ If it be so, that Christ rose not againe, then is your fayth vayne, and ye are yet in your sinnes ¹⁸ Therfore, they which are fallen in a slepe in Christe, are perisshed ¹⁹ If in this lyfe only we haue hope on Christe, then are we of all men moste miserable ²⁰ But nowe is Christe rysen from the dead, the first fruites of them that slept ²¹ For since by man [came] death, euen so by man [came] the resurrection of ye dead

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

¹ Paul an Apostle of Iesu Christe, by the wyll of God, & brother Timotheus. Unto ye Church of God which is at Corinthus, with all the saintes which are in all Achaia

¹⁹ For Gods sonne Iesus Christe which was preached among you by vs, euen by me, and Siluanus, and Timotheus, was not yea and nay, but in hym it was yea

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

⁴ Such trust haue we through Christe to Godwarde

⁶ Which hath made vs able ministers of the newe testament, not of the letter, but of the spirite: For the letter kylleth, but the spirite geueth lyfe

¹ Therfore, seyng that we haue such a ministerie, as we haue receaued mercie, we faynt not ² But haue cast from vs the clokes of vnhonestie, and walke not in craftynesse, neither handle we the word of God disceitefully, but in openyng of the trueth, and report our selues to euery mans conscience in the syght of God ³ Yf our Gospell be yet hyd, it is hyd in them that are lost

¹⁴ For the loue of Christe constrayneth vs, because we thus iudge, that yf one dyed for all, then were all dead ¹⁵ And he dyed for all, that they which lyue, shoulde not hencefoorth lyue vnto them selues, but vnto hym which dyed for them, and rose agayne

³ Let vs geue none occasion of euyll in any thyng, that the ministerie be not blamed ⁴ But in all thynges let vs behaue our selues as ye ministers of God, in much pacience, in afflictions, in necessities, in anguisshes ⁵ In stripes, in prisonmentes, in strifes, in labours ⁶ In watchynges, in fastinges, in purenesse, in knowledge, in long suffryng, in kyndnesse, in the holy ghost, in loue vnfaigned ⁷ In the worde of trueth, in the power of God, by the armour of righteousnes, of the ryght hande and on the lefte ⁸ By honour and dishonour, by euyll report and good report, as deceauers and yet true ⁹ As vnknowen, and yet knowen, as dying, and beholde we lyue, as chastened, and not kylled ¹⁰ As sorowyng, and yet alway merie: as poore, and yet make many riche: as hauyng nothyng, and yet possessyng all thynges

¹⁶ Or howe agreeth the temple of God with images? For ye are the temple of the lyuing God, as saide God, I wyll dwell in them, & walke in [them] & wyll be their God, & they shalbe my people ¹⁷ Wherfore come out fro among them, and separate your selues from them (saith the Lorde) and touche none vncleane thyng, and I wyll receaue you

¹ Moreouer, we do you to wite brethren, of the grace of God, which was geuen in the Churches of Macedonia ² Howe that ye aboundance of their reioycing is, that they are tryed with muche tribulation. And though they were exceedyng poore, yet haue they geuen exceedyng rychlye, and that in singlenesse

⁵ [And this they dyd] not as we loked for: but gaue their owne selues first to the Lorde, and [after] vnto vs by the wyll of God

⁷ Nowe therefore as ye are riche in all thinges, in fayth, in worde, in knowledge, in all feruentnesse, and in loue, which ye haue to vs: euen so, see that ye be plenteous in this grace also ⁸ This say I not by commaundement, but because of ye feruentnesse of other, & alowing the vnfaynednes of your loue ⁹ For ye knowe the grace of our Lorde Iesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poore, that ye through his pouertie might be made rich

² For I knowe the redinesse of your mynde, whereof I boast my selfe of you, vnto them of Macedonia, that Achaia was prepared a yere a go: and your zeale hath prouoked many

⁴ For the weapons of our warfare are not carnall, but myghtie through God, to cast downe strong holdes ⁵ Wherwith we ouerthrowe counsels, and euery hye thyng, that is exalted agaynst the knowledge of God, & bryng into captiuitie all imagination, to the obedience of Christe

⁹ And when I was present with you, and had nede, I was chargeable to no man: for that which was lackyng vnto me, the brethren which came from Macedonia supplied, and in all thynges I haue kept my selfe so that I shoulde not be chargeable to any man, and [so] wyll I kepe my selfe ¹⁰ The trueth of Christe is in me, that this reioycyng shall not be shut vp agaynst me in the regions of Achaia

² And all the brethren which are with me. Unto ye Churches of Galacia

⁴ Which gaue hym selfe for our sinnes, to deliuer vs from this present euyll worlde, accordyng to the wyll of God, and our father

⁸ Neuerthelesse, though we, or an Angel from heauen, preache any other Gospel vnto you, then that which we haue preached vnto you, let hym be accursed ⁹ As we sayde before, so say I nowe agayne, yf any man preache any other Gospell vnto you, then that ye haue receaued, let hym be accursed ¹⁰ Do I nowe perswade men, or God? Other do I seke to please men? For yf I shoulde yet please men, I were not the seruaunt of Christe ¹¹ I certifie you brethren, that the Gospell which was preached of me, was not after man ¹² For I neither receaued it of man, neither was I taught [it] but by the reuelation of Iesus Christe

²² and was vnknowen in face vnto the Churches of Iurie, which were in Christe

² I went vp also by reuelation, & I declared vnto them the Gospel which I preache among the gentiles: but priuately, with them which were the chiefe, lest by any meanes, I shoulde runne or had runne in vayne

² This only woulde I learne of you, whether ye receaued the spirite by the deedes of the lawe, or by the hearyng of the fayth ³ Are ye such fooles, that after ye haue begun in the spirite, ye woulde nowe ende in the fleshe ⁴ Haue ye suffered so great thynges in vayne? Yf it be yet in vayne ⁵ He therfore that ministreth to you the spirite, and worketh miracles among you, doth he it through the deedes of the lawe, or by hearyng of the fayth

¹³ Christe hath redeemed vs from the curse of the lawe, beyng made a curse for vs. For it is written: Cursed is euery one that hangeth on tree

⁸ Notwithstandyng, when ye knewe not God, ye dyd seruice vnto the which by nature are no Gods ⁹ But nowe after that ye haue knowen God, yea, rather are knowen of God, howe turne ye agayne vnto the weake and beggarly rudimentes, whervnto againe ye desire a freshe to be in bondage

⁵ For we through the spirite, wayte for the hope of ryghteousnes by fayth ⁶ For in Iesus Christe, neither is circumcision any thing woorth, neither yet vncircumcision: but fayth, which worketh by loue

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

²² But the fruite of the spirite is, loue, ioye, peace, long sufferyng, gentlenesse, goodnesse, fayth

²² But the fruite of the spirite is, loue, ioye, peace, long sufferyng, gentlenesse, goodnesse, fayth ²³ Mekenesse, temperauncie: agaynst such there is no lawe

⁹ Let vs not be weery in well doyng: for in due season we shall reape, yf we faynt not

² Grace be with you, and peace, from God our father, & from the Lorde Iesus Christe

⁴ According as he had chosen vs in hym before the foundation of the world, that we shoulde be holy, and without blame before hym, through loue

¹⁵ Wherfore I also after that I hearde of the fayth which ye haue in the Lorde Iesus, and loue vnto all the saintes ¹⁶ Ceasse not to geue thankes for you, makyng mention of you in my prayers ¹⁷ That the God of our Lorde Iesus Christe, the father of glorie, may geue vnto you the spirite of wisdome and reuelation, in the knowledge of hym ¹⁸ The eyes of your myndes beyng lightened, that ye maye knowe what the hope is of his callyng, and what the richesse of the glorie of his inheritaunce [is] in the saintes ¹⁹ And what is the exceedyng greatnesse of his power to vswarde, which beleue, accordyng to the workyng of his myghtie power ²⁰ Which he wrought in Christe when he raysed hym from the dead, and set him on his ryght hande in heauenly [places

⁴ But God which is ryche in mercie, for his great loue wherwith he loued vs ⁵ Euen when we were dead by sinnes, hath quickned vs together with Christ, by grace are ye saued

¹⁰ For we are his workmanship, created in Christe Iesus vnto good workes, whiche God hath ordeyned that we shoulde walke in them

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

¹ Be ye therefore folowers of God, as deare chyldren

¹ Paul & Timotheus the seruauntes of Iesus Christ: To all the saintes in Christ Iesus, whiche are at Philippos, with the bisshops & deacons

³ I thanke my God, with all remembraunce of you ⁴ ( Alwayes in all my prayer for all you, makyng prayer with gladnesse,

⁶ And beyng perswaded of this same thyng, that he which hath begun good worke in you, wyll perfourme it vntyll the day of Iesus Christe ⁷ As it becommeth me to iudge this of you al, because I haue you in my heart, and in my bondes, in the defence and confirmation of the Gospell, you all beyng partakers of my grace

¹³ For it is God which worketh in you, both to will and to do of good wyll

¹⁷ Brethren, be folowers together of me, and loke on them which walke so as ye haue vs for an ensample

²⁰ But our conuersation is in heauen, from whence also we loke for the sauiour, the Lorde Iesus Christe

⁹ Which ye haue both learned, and receaued, and hearde, and seene in me: Those thinges do, and the God of peace shalbe with you

¹ Paul an Apostle of Iesus Christe, by the wyll of God, and Timotheus the brother

³ We geue thankes to God and father of our Lorde Iesus Christe, alwayes for you, praying

¹⁸ And he is the head of the body of the Churche: he is the begynnyng, the first borne of the dead, that in all thynges he myght haue the preeminence

² That their heartes myght be comforted, beyng knyt together in loue, and in al riches of certaintie of vnderstanding, to knowe the misterie of God, and of the father, and of Christe

¹² Put on therfore (as the elect of God, holy and beloued) bowels of mercie, kyndenesse, humblenesse of mynde, mekenesse, long sufferyng

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

⁵ For our Gospell came not vnto you in worde only, but also in power, and in the holy ghost, and in much certayntie, as ye knowe after what maner we were among you for your sake ⁶ And ye became folowers of vs, and of the Lorde, receauyng the worde in much affliction, with ioy of the holy ghost ⁷ So that ye were an ensample to all that beleue in Macedonia and Achaia ⁸ For from you, sounded out the worde of the Lorde, not only in Macedonia & Achaia: but also in euery place your faith to Godwarde is spread abroade, so that we neede not to speake any thyng

¹ For ye your selues, brethren, knowe our entraunce in vnto you, yt it was not in vayne

¹ For ye your selues, brethren, knowe our entraunce in vnto you, yt it was not in vayne ² But euen after that we had suffred before, and were shamefully entreated as ye knowe, at Philippos, we were bolde in our God, to speake vnto you the Gospell of God, in much stryuyng ³ For our exhortation was not of deceit, neither of vncleannes, neither in guile ⁴ But as it were alowed of God, to be put in credite with the Gospell: euen so we speake, not as pleasyng men, but God, which tryeth our heartes ⁵ For neither at any tyme vsed we flatteryng wordes, as ye knowe, neither cloke of couetousnes, God [is] recorde ⁶ Neither sought we prayse of men, neither of you, nor yet of others ⁷ When we myght haue ben in auctoritie, as the Apostles of Christe, but we were tender among you, euen as a nource cherissheth her chyldren

⁷ When we myght haue ben in auctoritie, as the Apostles of Christe, but we were tender among you, euen as a nource cherissheth her chyldren ⁸ So, beyng tenderly affected towarde you, our good wyll was to haue dealt vnto you, not the Gospell of God only: but also our owne soules, because ye were deare vnto vs ⁹ For ye remember brethren, our labour and trauayle. For we labouryng nyght & day, because we woulde not be chargeable vnto any of you, preached vnto you the Gospell of God ¹⁰ Ye [are] witnesses, & God [also] howe holyly, and iustly, and vnblameably, we behaued our selues among you that beleue ¹¹ As ye knowe, howe that as a father his chyldren, so we haue exhorted, comforted, and besought euery one of you

¹³ For this cause thanke we God also without ceassyng, because ye receauyng the worde which ye hearde of vs concernyng God, ye receaued it not as the worde of man, (but as it is in deede) the worde of God, which effectuously worketh also in you that beleue

¹³ For this cause thanke we God also without ceassyng, because ye receauyng the worde which ye hearde of vs concernyng God, ye receaued it not as the worde of man, (but as it is in deede) the worde of God, which effectuously worketh also in you that beleue ¹⁴ For ye brethren became folowers of the Churches of God, which in Iurie are in Christe Iesus: for ye haue suffred lyke thynges of your countreymen, as they haue of the Iewes

¹⁶ And hynder vs to speake to the gentiles that they myght be saued, to fulfyll their sinnes alway. For the wrath [of God] is come on them to the vtmost

² And sent Timotheus, our brother and minister of God, and felowe labourer in the Gospell of Christe, to stablishe you & to comfort you concernyng your faith ³ That no man shoulde be moued in these afflictions: For ye your selues knowe, that we are appoynted therevnto ⁴ For veryly when we were with you, we tolde you before that we shoulde suffer tribulation, euen as it came to passe, and [as] ye knowe

⁶ But nowe lately, when Timotheus came from you vnto vs, and brought vs good tydynges of your fayth and loue, and howe that ye haue good remembraunce of vs alwayes, desiryng to see vs, as we also [to see] you

¹⁰ Yea and that thyng veryly ye do vnto all ye brethren which [are] in al Macedonia: But we beseche you brethren, that ye encrease more and more

¹⁶ For the Lorde hym selfe shal descende from heauen in a shoute, [and] in the voyce of the Archangell, and in the trumpe of God: And the dead in Christ shall aryse first ¹⁷ Than we which lyue, which remaine, shalbe caught vp together with them in the cloudes, to meete the Lorde in the ayre: And so shall we euer be with the Lorde

¹ Furthermore brethren, praye ye for vs, that the worde of the Lord may haue free passage and be glorified, euen as with you

⁷ For ye your selues knowe howe ye ought to folowe vs: For we behaued not our selues inordinately among you ⁸ Neither toke we breade of any man for nought: but wrought with labour and sweat nyght and daye, because we woulde not be chargeable to any of you ⁹ Not but that we had auctoritie, but to make our selues an ensample vnto you to folowe vs

⁹ Who hath saued vs, & called vs with an holy callyng, not accordyng to our workes: but accordyng to his owne purpose and grace, which was geuen vs in Christe Iesus, before the world began ¹⁰ But is nowe made manifest by the appearyng of our sauiour Iesus Christ, who hath put away death, and hath brought life and immortalitie vnto light through the Gospell

⁸ Remember that Iesus Christe, of the seede of Dauid, was raysed from the dead, accordyng to my Gospell

¹⁰ Therfore I suffer all thynges for the electes sakes, that they myght also obtaine the saluation, which is in Christ Iesus, with eternall glorie

¹ I testifie therefore before God, & the Lorde Iesus Christe, which shall iudge the quicke and the dead at his appearyng, and his kingdome

⁷ In all thynges shewyng thy selfe a paterne of good workes, in the doctrine, vncorruptnesse, grauitie, integritie

¹³ Lokyng for that blessed hope and appearyng of the glorie of the great God, and our sauiour Iesus Christe

⁴ But after that the kyndenesse and loue of our sauiour God to manwarde appeared ⁵ Not of workes which [be] in ryghteousnesse wrought, but accordyng to his mercie, he saued vs by the fountayne of regeneration and renuyng of the holy ghost

⁵ Not of workes which [be] in ryghteousnesse wrought, but accordyng to his mercie, he saued vs by the fountayne of regeneration and renuyng of the holy ghost ⁶ Which he shed on vs richlie through Iesus Christe our sauiour

⁴ I thanke my God, makyng mention alwayes of thee in my prayers ⁵ Hearyng of thy loue and fayth, which thou hast towarde the Lorde Iesus, and towarde all saintes ⁶ That the felowshippe of thy fayth may be effectuall in the knowledge of euery good [worke] which is in you, towarde Christe Iesus ⁷ For we haue great ioy & consolation in thy loue, because the bowels of the saintes are refresshed by thee, brother

³ Howe shall we escape, yf we neglect so great saluation? which at the first began to be preached of the Lorde, and was confirmed vnto vswarde, by them that hearde it ⁴ God bearyng witnesse therto both with signes & wonders also, and with diuers powers and gyftes of the holy ghost, accordyng to his owne wyll

¹¹ Let vs studie therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same ensample of disobedience

¹⁰ For God is not vnryghteous, to forget your worke & labour of loue, whiche ye haue shewed towarde his name, hauyng ministred to the saintes, and [do] minister ¹¹ Yea and we desire that euery one of you do shewe the same diligence, to the full assuraunce of hope, vnto the ende

¹¹ Yea and we desire that euery one of you do shewe the same diligence, to the full assuraunce of hope, vnto the ende

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

¹⁸ That by two immutable thynges, in whiche it was vnpossible for God to lye, we myght haue a strong consolation, which haue fledde to holde fast the hope layde before vs ¹⁹ Which [hope] we holde as an ancker of the soule both sure and stedfast, and entryng in, into that thing which is within the vayle

²⁸ Euen so, Christe once offered to take away the sinnes of many, the seconde time shalbe seene without sinne, of them which wayte for hym vnto saluation

²² Let vs drawe nye with a true hearte, in assuraunce of fayth, sprinkeled in our heartes from an euyll conscience, and wasshed in body with pure water

³⁴ For ye suffred also with my bondes, & toke in woorth the spoylyng of your goodes with gladnesse: knowyng in your selues how that ye haue in heauen a better and an enduryng substaunce

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

⁷ By fayth Noe beyng warned of God of thinges not seene as yet, moued with reuerence, prepared the arke to the sauyng of his house, through the whiche [arke] he condempned the worlde, and became heire of the righteousnes which is by fayth ⁸ By fayth Abraham when he was called, obeyed, to go out into a place whiche he shoulde afterwarde receaue to inheritaunce: and he went out, not knowyng whyther he shoulde go

¹⁷ By fayth Abraham offered by Isaac when he was proued: and he that had receaued the promises, offered vp his only begotten sonne

²⁴ By fayth Moyses when he was great, refused to be called the sonne of Pharaos daughter ²⁵ Chosyng rather to suffer aduersitie with the people of God, then to enioye the pleasures of sinne for a season ²⁶ Esteemyng the rebuke of Christ, greater riches, then the treasures of Egypt: For he had respect vnto the recompence of the rewarde ²⁷ By fayth he forsoke Egypt, fearyng not the wrath of the kyng: For he endured, euen as though he had seene him which is inuisible ²⁸ Through fayth, he ordeyned the Passouer and the effusion of blood, lest he that destroyed the first borne, shoulde touche them ²⁹ By fayth, they passed through the redde sea, as by drye lande: which the Egyptians assaying to do, were drowned ³⁰ By fayth, the walles of Iericho fell downe, after they were compassed about seuen dayes ³¹ By fayth, the harlot Rahab perished not with them that were disobedient, when she had receaued the spyes with peace ³² And what shall I more say? for the tyme woulde fayle me, to rehearse of Gedeon, of Barac, and of Sampson, and of Iephte, of Dauid also and Samuel, and of the prophetes ³³ Which through faith subdued kingdomes, wrought righteousnesse, obteyned the promises, stopped the mouthes of the Lions ³⁴ Quenched the violence of fyre, escaped the edge of the sworde, out of weakenesse were made strong, wared valiant in fyght, turned to flyght the armies of the aliantes

²² But ye are come vnto ye mount Sion, and to the citie of the lyuyng God, the celestiall Hierusalem, and to an innumerable companie of Angels
