³¹ What shall we then say to these thynges? If God be on our syde, who can be agaynst vs

²⁰ Therfore, yf thyne enemie hunger, feede hym: yf he thyrst, geue him drinke. For in so doyng, thou shalt heape coales of fyre on his head

⁶ For it is God that commaundeth the lyght to shine out of darknesse, whiche hath shined in our heartes, for to geue the lyght of the knowledge of the glorie of God, in the face of Iesus Christe

²⁰ Nowe then are we messengers in the rowme of Christe, euen as though God dyd beseche you through vs. So praye we you in Christes steade, that ye be reconciled vnto God

¹⁰ As sorowyng, and yet alway merie: as poore, and yet make many riche: as hauyng nothyng, and yet possessyng all thynges

¹ Seyng that we haue these promises (dearely beloued) let vs clense our selues from all fylthynesse of the flesshe & spirite, and growe vp to full holynesse in the feare of God

⁷ Be not deceaued, God is not mocked: For whatsoeuer a man soweth, that shall he also reape ⁸ For he that soweth into his flesshe, shal of the flesshe reape corruption: But he that soweth into the spirite, shall of the spirite reape lyfe euerlastyng

¹⁴ For he is our peace, which hath made both one: and hath broken downe the wall that was a stoppe betwene vs ¹⁵ Taking away in his flesshe the hatred, [euen] the lawe of commaundementes, [conteyned] in ordinaunces, for to make of twayne one newe man in hym selfe, so makyng peace ¹⁶ And that he myght reconcile both vnto God in one body through [his] crosse, and slewe hatred thereby ¹⁷ And came and preached peace to you which were a farre of, and to them that were nye

⁷ And the peace of God, which passeth all vnderstandyng, shall kepe your heartes and myndes through Christe Iesus

¹⁸ But I haue receaued al, & haue plentie. I was euen fylled after that I had receaued of Epaphroditus the thynges [which were sent] from you, an odoure of a sweete smel, a sacrifice acceptable, plesaunt to God

⁷ Rooted and built in hym, & stablished in the fayth, as ye haue ben taught, aboundyng therin with thankes geuing

¹ Furthermore we besech you brethren, & exhorte you by the Lorde Iesus, that ye encrease more and more, as ye haue receaued of vs, how ye ought to walke and to please God ² For ye knowe what commaundementes we gaue you by the Lorde Iesus

³ For when they shal say peace & safetie, then shall sodeyne destruction come vppon them, as sorowe vpon a woman with chylde, and they shall not escape

⁸ I wyll therefore, that the men praye euerywhere, lyftyng vp holy handes, without wrath and reasonyng

¹⁹ But the strong foundation of God standeth styl, hauyng this seale: The Lorde knoweth the that are his: And, let euery one that nameth the name of Christe, depart from iniquitie

⁵ Hearken my deare beloued brethren. Hath not God chosen the poore of this worlde, such as are riche in fayth, and heyres of the kyngdome, which he promised to them that loue hym

⁶ But [the scripture] offereth more grace, and therefore sayth, God resisteth the proude, but geueth grace vnto ye lowlie

¹⁵ For that ye ought to say: If the Lorde wyll, and yf we lyue, let vs do this or that

¹⁵ And the prayer of fayth shall saue the sicke, and the Lorde shall raise him vp: and yf he haue committed sinnes, they shalbe forgeuen hym ¹⁶ Knowledge your faultes one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed: For ye feruent prayer of a ryghteous man auayleth much

¹⁹ In which spirite, he also went & preached vnto the spirites that were in pryson ²⁰ Which sometime had ben disobedient, when once the long sufferyng of God abode in ye dayes of Noe, whyle the Arke was a preparyng, wherein fewe, that is to say eyght soules, were saued in the water

⁵ Likewise ye younger, submit your selues vnto the elder: Submit your selues euery man one to another, decke your selues inwardly in lowlynes of mynde: For God resisteth the proude, and geueth grace to the humble

⁵ Neither spared the olde worlde, but saued Noe the eyght [person] a preacher of ryghteousnesse, and brought in the flood vpon the worlde of the vngodly ⁶ And turned their cities of Sodome & Gomorrhe into asshes, ouerthrewe the, dampned them, and made of them an ensample vnto those that after shoulde lyue vngodly ⁷ And iust Lot, vexed with ye vncleane conuersatio of the wicked, deliuered he

²⁰ For yf our heart condempne vs, God is greater then our heart, and knoweth all thynges ²¹ Dearely beloued, yf our heart condempne vs not, then haue we boldnesse towarde God

¹⁴ And this is the trust that we haue in hym: that yf we aske any thyng accordyng to his wyll, he heareth vs ¹⁵ And yf we knowe that he heare vs, whatsoeuer we aske: we know that we haue ye petitions that we desire of hym

²⁰ But ye dearely beloued, edifie your selues in your most holy fayth, praying in the holy ghost

¹⁹ As many as I loue, I rebuke and chasten: Be feruent therfore, & repent

²⁰ Reioyce ouer her thou heauen, and ye holy apostles and prophetes: for God hath geuen your iudgement on her

¹ And after that I heard a great voyce of much people in heauen, saying Alleluia: Saluation, and glory, and honour, and power, be ascribed to the Lorde our God ² For true and ryghteous are his iudgementes, for he hath iudged the great whore which dyd corrupt ye earth with her fornication, and hath auenged the blood of his seruauntes of her hande ³ And agayne they sayde Alleluia: and her smoke rose vp for euermore
