²² If then, God wyllyng to shewe his wrath, and to make his power knowe, suffred with long patience, the vessels of wrath, ordayned to destruction ²³ To declare the riches of his glory, on the vessels of mercy, which he had prepared vnto glory

⁶ Seyng that we haue dyuers giftes, accordyng to the grace that is geuen vnto vs, yf any man haue the gyft, either prophesie after the measure of fayth ⁷ Either office in administration, or he that teacheth in teachyng ⁸ Or he that exhorteth, in exhortyng, he that geueth in singlenesse, he that ruleth in diligence, he that is mercifull in chearefulnesse

¹³ Distributyng to ye necessitie of saintes, geuen to hospitalitie

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

¹¹ And chiefely consideryng the season, howe that it is tyme that we shoulde nowe awake out of slepe: For nowe is our saluation nearer, then when we beleued

⁷ For none of vs lyueth to hym selfe, and no man dyeth to hym selfe ⁸ For yf we lyue, we lyue vnto ye Lorde: And if we dye, we dye vnto the Lorde. Whether we lyue therfore, or dye, we are the Lordes ⁹ For to this ende Christe both dyed and rose agayne and reuyued, that he myght be Lorde both of dead & quicke ¹⁰ But why doest thou then iudge thy brother? Either, why doest thou despise thy brother? We shalbe all brought before the iudgement seate of Christe ¹¹ For it is written, I lyue, sayth the Lorde: and all knees shall bowe to me, & all tongues shall geue prayse to God ¹² So shal euery one of vs geue accompt of hym selfe to God

¹⁸ For I dare not speake of any of those thinges which Christ hath not wrought by me, to make the gentiles obedient with worde and deede ¹⁹ In myghtie signes and wonders, by the power of the spirite of God: so that from Hierusalem, & the coastes rounde about, vnto Illyricum, I haue fullye preached the Gospell of Christe

²³ Gaius myne hoast, and of the whole Churche, saluteth you. Erastus the chamberlaine of the citie saluteth you, and Quartus a brother

⁹ But as it is written: The eye hath not seen, & the eare hath not heard, neither haue entred into the heart of man, the thynges which God hath prepared for them that loue hym

⁵ What is Paul? what is Apollo? Only ministers are they by whom ye beleued, euen as the Lorde gaue to euery man

¹² If any man buylde on this foundation, golde, syluer, precious stones, tymber, haye [or] stubble ¹³ Euery mans worke shal appeare. The day shall declare it, because it shalbe reuealed by the fire: And the fire shall trie euery mans worke what it is ¹⁴ If any mans worke that he hath built vpon abyde, he shall receaue a reward ¹⁵ If any mans worke burne, he shall suffer losse, but he shalbe safe hym selfe: neuertheles, yet as it were through fire

¹ Let a man so esteeme of vs, as the ministers of Christe, and disposers of the secretes of God ² Furthermore, it is required of the disposers that a man be founde faythfull

⁵ Therefore iudge nothyng before the tyme, vntyll the Lorde come, who wyl lyghten thynges that are hyd in darkenesse, & open the counsels of the heartes, and then shall euery man haue prayse of God

⁹ Knowe ye not that the vnrighteous shall not inherite the kingdome of God? Be not deceaued: neither fornicatours, nor idolatours, nor adulterers, nor weaklinges, nor abusers of them selues with mankinde

³ But if any man loue God, the same is knowen of him

¹⁶ For if I preache the Gospell, I haue nothyng to reioyce of: for necessitie is layde vpon me. But wo is vnto me if I preache not the Gospell ¹⁷ For if I do it with a good wil, I haue a reward: but if [I do it] against my wil, the dispensatio is committed vnto me ¹⁸ What is my reward then? Uerily that when I preache the Gospell, I make the Gospell of Christ free, that I misuse not myne aucthoritie in the Gospell 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

¹ Brethre, I woulde not that ye shoulde be ignoraunt, howe that all our fathers were vnder the cloude, and all passed through the sea ² And were all baptized vnto Moyses in the cloude, & in the sea ³ And dyd all eate of one spirituall meate ⁴ And dyd all drynke of one maner of spirituall drynke. (And they dranke of that spirituall rocke that folowed them, which rocke was Christe. ⁵ But in many of them had God no delite: For they were ouerthrowen in the wildernesse

² I commende you brethren, that ye remember me in all thinges, and kepe the ordinaunces, as I deliuered them to you

⁴ There are diuersities of gyftes, but the spirite [is] one

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 ¹² For as the body is one, & hath many members, and all the members of one body, though they be many, [yet] are [but] one body: euen so is Christe ¹³ For by one spirite, are we all baptized into one body, whether [we be] Iewes or gentiles, whether [we be] bonde or free: and haue all drunke of one spirite ¹⁴ For the body is not one member, but many ¹⁵ If the foote woulde say, because I am not the hande, I am not of the body: is it therfore not of the body ¹⁶ And yf the eare woulde say, because I am not the eye, I am not of the body: is it therfore not of the body ¹⁷ If all the body [were] an eye, where were then the hearyng? If all [were] hearyng, where were the smellyng ¹⁸ But nowe hath God set ye members, euery one seuerally in the body, as it hath pleased hym ¹⁹ For yf they were all one member, where were the body ²⁰ Nowe are there many members, yet but one body ²¹ And the eye can not say vnto ye hande, I haue no neede of thee: Nor, the head agayne to the feete, I haue no neede of you ²² Yea, rather a great deale, those members of the body which seeme to be more feeble, are necessary ²³ And vpon those members of the body which we thynke least honest, put we more honestie on. And our vncomely partes, haue more comelynesse on ²⁴ For our comely members neede it not: But God hath tempered the body together, and hath geuen the more honour to that [part] which lacked ²⁵ Lest there shoulde be any stryfe in the body: but that the members shoulde haue the same care one for another ²⁶ And yf one member suffer, all suffer with it. If one member be had in honour, all the members reioyce with it ²⁷ Ye are the body of Christe, and members one of another ²⁸ And God hath ordayned some in the Churche, first Apostles, secondarely, prophetes, thirdely teachers, then them that do miracles: after that, the giftes of healyng, helpers, gouernours, diuersitie of tongues ²⁹ Are all, Apostles? are all, prophetes? are all, teachers

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

⁵⁰ This saye I brethren, that fleshe and blood can not inherite the kyngdome of God: Neither doth corruption, inherite incorruption

¹³ Watche ye, stande fast in the fayth, quyte you lyke men, be strong

²¹ The salutatio of [me] Paul, with mine owne hande ²² Yf any man loue not the Lorde Iesus Christe, the same be Anathema maranatha

²² Yf any man loue not the Lorde Iesus Christe, the same be Anathema maranatha

²² Which hath also sealed vs, and hath geuen the earnest of the spirite in our heartes

⁵ For we preache not our selues, but Christe Iesus the Lord, and our selues your seruauntes for Iesus sake

⁹ Wherfore, whether we be at home, or from home, we endeuour our selues to be accepted vnto hym ¹⁰ For we must all appeare before the iudgement seate of Christe, that euery man may receaue the workes of his bodie according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad

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

¹ Moreouer, we do you to wite brethren, of the grace of God, which was geuen in the Churches of Macedonia

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

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 ³ For to their powers (I beare them recorde) yea & beyonde their powers, they were wyllyng

³ For to their powers (I beare them recorde) yea & beyonde their powers, they were wyllyng ⁴ And prayed vs with great instaunce that we woulde receaue this grace and societie of the ministerie to ye saintes

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

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

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

¹² For if there be first a wyllyng mynde, it is accepted accordyng to that a man hath, and not accordyng to that he hath not

⁷ Let euery man do, accordyng as he hath purposed in his heart, not grudgyngly, or of necessitie: For God loueth a chearefull geuer ⁸ God is able to make you riche in all grace, that ye in all thynges hauyng sufficient vnto the vtmost, may be riche vnto all maner of good workes ⁹ As it is written: He hath sparsed abrode, and hath geuen to the poore, his ryghteousnesse remayneth for euer ¹⁰ He that ministreth seede vnto ye sower, ministreth bread also for foode, and multiplieth your seede, and encreaseth the fruites of your ryghteousnesse ¹¹ That in all thynges ye may be made riche into all singlenesse, which causeth through vs, that thankes are geuen vnto God ¹² For the administration of this seruice, not only supplieth ye neede of the saintes: but also is aboundaunt by the thankes geuyng of many vnto God ¹³ Which by the experiment of this ministration, prayse God for the obedience of your consentyng to the Gospell of Christe, and for your singlenesse in distributyng to them, and to all men ¹⁴ And by their prayers for you, which long after you, for the aboundaunt grace of God in you

¹⁸ For he that prayseth hymselfe, is not alowed, but whom the Lorde prayseth

² For I am gelous ouer you, with Godly gelousie: For I haue coupled you to one man, to present [you] a chaste virgin vnto Christe

¹⁰ For as many as are of the deedes of the lawe, are vnder the curse. For it is writte: Cursed is euery one that continueth not in all thinges which are written in the booke of the lawe, to do them ¹¹ But that no man is iustified by ye lawe in the sight of God, it is euident. For the iust shall lyue by fayth ¹² And the lawe is not of fayth: but the man that doth them, shall lyue in them 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

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 ¹⁴ That the blessyng of Abraham might come on the gentiles through Iesus Christe, that we myght receaue the promise of the spirite through fayth

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

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

²¹ Enuyinges, murthers, drunkennesse, gluttonies, and such lyke: of the whiche I tell you before, as I haue tolde you in tyme past, that they which do suche thinges, shall not inherite the kingdome of God 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

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 ⁹ Let vs not be weery in well doyng: for in due season we shall reape, yf we faynt not ¹⁰ Whyle we haue therefore tyme, let vs do good vnto all men, specially vnto the which are of the housholde of fayth

³ Blessed be God, the father of our Lorde Iesus Christe, whiche hath blessed vs in all spirituall blessyng, in heauenly thynges by 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 ⁵ Who hath predestinate vs into the adoption of childre, by Iesus Christ vnto hym selfe, according to the good pleasure of his wyll ⁶ To the prayse of the glorie of his grace, wherein he hath made vs accepted in the beloued

²⁰ Which he wrought in Christe when he raysed hym from the dead, and set him on his ryght hande in heauenly [places

¹¹ And he gaue some apostles, and some prophetes, and some euangelistes, and some shepheardes and teachers

²⁸ Let hym that stole, steale no more: but let hym rather labour, workyng with his handes the thyng whiche is good, that he may geue vnto hym that needeth

⁵ For this ye knowe, that no whoremonger, neither vncleane person, nor couetous person, which is a worshipper of images, hath any inheritaunce in the kyngdome of Christe, and of God

¹⁴ Wherefore he sayth: Awake thou that sleepest, and stande vp from the dead, and Christe shall geue thee lyght

¹⁶ Redeemyng the time, because ye dayes are euyll

²⁵ Ye husbandes loue your wyues, euen as Christe also loued the Churche, and gaue hym selfe for it ²⁶ To sanctifie it, clensyng [it] in the fountayne of water in the worde ²⁷ To make it vnto hym selfe a glorious Churche, not hauyng spot or wrinckle, or any such thyng: but that it should be holy, and without blame ²⁸ So ought men to loue their wyues, as their owne bodies. He that loueth his wyfe, loueth hym selfe ²⁹ For no man euer yet hated his owne flesshe: but norissheth & cherissheth it, euen as the Lorde the Churche ³⁰ For we are members of his body, of his flesshe, and of his bones

³⁰ For we are members of his body, of his flesshe, and of his bones ³¹ For this cause shall a man leaue father and mother, and shalbe ioyned vnto his wyfe, and two shalbe made one flesshe ³² This is a great secrete: but I speake of Christe and of the Churche ³³ Therfore euery one of you [do ye so] Let euery one of you loue his wyfe euen as hym selfe, and [let] the wyfe reuerence her husbande

²³ For I am in a strayte betwixt two, hauyng a desire to be loosed, and to be with Christ, which is much farre better

¹⁵ That ye may be blamelesse and pure, the sonnes of God, without rebuke in the myddes of a croked and peruerse nation, among who shyne ye as lightes in the worlde ¹⁶ Holdyng fast the worde of lyfe, to my reioycyng in the day of Christe that I haue not runne in vayne, neither haue laboured in vayne

¹⁰ But I reioyce in the Lorde greatly, that nowe at the last you are reuiued againe to care for me, in ye wherin ye were also carefull, but ye lacked oportunitie ¹¹ I speake not because of necessitie. For I haue learned, in whatsoeuer estate I am, therwith to be content ¹² I knowe howe to be lowe, and I knowe howe to exceade. Euery where & in all thynges I am instructed, both to be ful, and to be hungry, both to haue plentie, and to suffer neede ¹³ I can do all thynges through Christe, which strengtheneth me ¹⁴ Notwithstandyng, ye haue well done yt ye dyd communicate to my afflictions

¹² Geuyng thankes vnto ye father, which hath made vs meete to be partakers of the inheritaunce of the saintes in lyght

²⁹ Wherunto I also labour striuyng, according to his workyng which worketh in me mightylie

¹⁷ And say to Archippus: take heede to the ministerie that thou hast receaued in the Lorde, that thou fulfyll it

¹² That ye woulde walke worthie of God, who hath called you vnto his kyngdome and glorie

⁹ But as touchyng brotherly loue, ye nede not that I write vnto you: For ye are taught of God to loue one another 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

¹ But of the tymes & seasons brethre, ye haue no neede that I write vnto you ² For ye your selues knowe perfectlye that the day of the Lord shall so come euen as a theefe in the nyght 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

⁶ Therefore let vs not sleepe, as [do] other: but let vs watche and be sober

⁶ Therefore let vs not sleepe, as [do] other: but let vs watche and be sober ⁷ For they that sleepe, sleepe in the night: and they that be druncken, are druncken in the nyght ⁸ But let vs which are of the day, be sober, puttyng on the brest plate of fayth and loue, and a helmet, the hope of saluation

⁷ And to you whiche are troubled, reste with vs, in the reuelation of the Lorde Iesus from heauen, with the Angels of his power

⁷ And to you whiche are troubled, reste with vs, in the reuelation of the Lorde Iesus from heauen, with the Angels of his power ⁸ In flamyng fire, rendryng vengeance vnto them that knowe not God, and that obey not the Gospell of our Lorde Iesus Christe

⁹ Which shalbe punisshed with euerlastyng dampnation, from the presence of the Lorde, & fro the glorie of his power ¹⁰ When he shall come to be glorified in his saintes, and to be made marueylous in all them that beleue (because our testimonie toward you was beleued) in that day

¹⁰ And well reported of in good workes, yf she haue brought vp chyldren, yf she haue lodged straungers, yf she haue wasshed the saintes feete, yf she haue ministred vnto them that were in aduersitie, yf she haue ben continually geuen to euery good worke

¹⁷ Charge them which are riche in this world, that they be not hie minded, nor trust in vncertayne riches: but in ye lyuyng God, which geueth vs aboundauntly all thinges to enioy

¹⁷ Charge them which are riche in this world, that they be not hie minded, nor trust in vncertayne riches: but in ye lyuyng God, which geueth vs aboundauntly all thinges to enioy ¹⁸ That they do good, that they be riche in good workes, that they be redye to geue, glad to distribute

¹⁸ That they do good, that they be riche in good workes, that they be redye to geue, glad to distribute ¹⁹ Laying vp in store for them selues a good foundation agaynst the tyme to come, that they may lay holde on eternall lyfe

⁶ Wherfore I put thee in remebraunce that thou stirre vp the gyft of God, which is in thee by the puttyng on of my handes ⁷ For God hath not geuen to vs the spirite of feare: but of power, and of loue, and of a sounde mynde

¹⁶ The Lorde geue mercie vnto ye house of Onesiphorus, for he oft refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chayne ¹⁷ But whe he was in Rome, he sought me out very diligently, and founde [me] ¹⁸ The Lorde graunt vnto hym, that he may fynde mercie with the Lorde in that day: And in howe many thynges he ministred vnto me at Ephesus, thou knowest very well

⁶ The labouryng husbandman, must first be partaker of the fruites

¹² If we be patient, we shall also raigne with hym: If we denie hym, he also shall denie vs

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 Hauyng a fourme of godlynesse, but denying the power therof: turne away from these

¹ I testifie therefore before God, & the Lorde Iesus Christe, which shall iudge the quicke and the dead at his appearyng, and his kingdome ² Preache the worde, be instant in season, out of season: Improue, rebuke, exhort in all long sufferyng and doctrine ³ For the tyme wyll come, when they shall not suffer wholsome doctrine: but after their owne lustes, shal they whose eares itche, get the an heape of teachers ⁴ And shall turne away their hearyng from the trueth, and shalbe turned vnto fables ⁵ But watche thou in all thynges, suffer afflictions, do the worke of an Euangelist, fulfyll thy ministerie

⁵ But watche thou in all thynges, suffer afflictions, do the worke of an Euangelist, fulfyll thy ministerie ⁶ For I am nowe redie to be offered, & the tyme of my dissolution is at hande ⁷ I haue fought a good fyght, I haue fulfylled [my] course, I haue kept ye faith ⁸ Hencefoorth there is layde vp for me a crowne of ryghteousnesse, which the Lorde, the ryghteous iudge, shall geue me at that day: not to me only, but vnto the also yt haue loued his appearyng

⁸ Hencefoorth there is layde vp for me a crowne of ryghteousnesse, which the Lorde, the ryghteous iudge, shall geue me at that day: not to me only, but vnto the also yt haue loued his appearyng

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

¹⁴ And let ours also learne to excell in good workes to necessarie vses, that they be not vnfruitefull

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 Who beyng the bryghtnesse of the glorie, and the very image of his substaunce, vpholdyng all thynges with the worde of his power, hauing by him selfe pourged our sinnes, hath syt on the ryght hande of the maiestie on hye

⁸ But vnto the sonne [he sayth] Thy seate O God, [shalbe] for euer and euer: The scepter of thy kyngdome [is] a scepter of ryghteousnesse

¹¹ For both he that sanctifieth, and they which are sanctified, [are] all of one. For which cause, he is not ashamed to call them brethren ¹² Saying: I wyll declare thy name vnto my brethren, in the myddes of the Churche wyll I prayse thee ¹³ And agayne: I wyll put my trust in hym. And agayne: Beholde here am I, and the chyldren whiche God hath geuen me ¹⁴ Forasmuch then as the chyldren are partakers of flesshe and blood, he also hym selfe lykewyse toke part with the, that through death he myght expell hym that had lordship ouer death, that is the deuyll ¹⁵ And that he myght delyuer them, which through feare of death, were all their lyfe tyme in daunger of bondage

¹⁸ And to who sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but vnto them that were not obedient ¹⁹ And we see that they coulde not enter in, because of vnbeliefe

¹ Let vs feare therfore, lest at any tyme, by forsakyng the promise of entryng into his reste, any of you shoulde be defrauded

³ For we which haue beleued, do enter into his rest, as he sayde: Euen as I haue sworne in my wrath, if they shal enter into my rest. Although the workes were made perfecte from the foundation of the worlde

⁷ For the earth which drynketh in the rayne that commeth oft vppon it, and bringeth foorth hearbes meete for them by whom also it is dressed, receaueth blessyng of God ⁸ But that grounde whiche beareth thornes and bryers, is reproued, and is nye vnto cursyng, whose ende is to be burned

⁸ But that grounde whiche beareth thornes and bryers, is reproued, and is nye vnto cursyng, whose ende is to be burned

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

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 ¹² That ye faynt not, but be folowers of them which through fayth and pacience inherite the promises

²⁶ (For then must he haue often suffred sence the foundation of the worlde) But nowe once in the ende of the world hath he appeared, to put away sinne, by the sacrifice of hym selfe

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 ³⁷ For yet a very litle whyle, and he that shall come, wyll come, and wyll not tary

¹⁶ But nowe they desire a better, that is, a heauenly. Wherefore God is not ashamed of them to be called their God, for he hath prepared for them a citie

² Lokyng vnto Iesus, the captayne and finissher of our fayth, which for the ioy that was set before hym, endured the crosse, hauyng dispised the shame, and is set downe on the ryght hande of the throne of God

¹⁵ Takyng heede that no man fall away from the grace of God, lest any roote of bitternesse spryngyng vp, trouble you, and therby many be defyled ¹⁶ Let there be no fornicator or vncleane person, as Esau, which for one morsell of meate, solde his birthryght ¹⁷ For ye knowe, howe that afterwarde when he woulde haue inherited the blessyng, he was reprobated: For he founde no place of repentaunce, though he sought it with teares

¹ Let brotherly loue continue ² Be not forgetfull to lodge straungers: For therby some hauyng lodged Angels, were vnawares therof ³ Remember them that are in bondes, as bounde with them: And them which suffer aduersitie, as also ye your selues beyng in the body [suffered aduersitie]

³ Remember them that are in bondes, as bounde with them: And them which suffer aduersitie, as also ye your selues beyng in the body [suffered aduersitie]

¹⁶ To do good & to distribute forget not, for with such sacrifices God is pleased

²⁷ Pure deuotion and vndefyled before God and the father, is this: To visite the fatherlesse and widdowes in their aduersitie, and to kepe hymselfe vnspotted of the worlde

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

¹⁴ What profiteth it my brethren, though a man say he hath fayth, and hath not deedes? Can fayth saue hym ¹⁵ If a brother or a sister be naked, and destitute of dayly foode

¹⁵ If a brother or a sister be naked, and destitute of dayly foode ¹⁶ And one of you say vnto them, depart in peace, be you warmed and fylled: notwithstandyng, ye geue them not those thinges which are nedefull to, the body, what shall it profite

¹⁶ And one of you say vnto them, depart in peace, be you warmed and fylled: notwithstandyng, ye geue them not those thinges which are nedefull to, the body, what shall it profite ¹⁷ Euen so, fayth, yf it haue not deedes, is dead in it selfe ¹⁸ But some man wyll say, thou hast fayth and I haue deedes: shewe me thy fayth by thy deedes, and I wyll shewe thee my faith by my deedes

¹⁸ But some man wyll say, thou hast fayth and I haue deedes: shewe me thy fayth by thy deedes, and I wyll shewe thee my faith by my deedes ¹⁹ Beleuest thou that there is one God? Thou doest well. The deuyls also beleue, and tremble ²⁰ But wylt thou knowe, O thou vayne man, that that fayth which is without workes, is dead ²¹ Was not Abraham our father iustified through workes, when he had offered Isaac his sonne vpon the aulter ²² Seest thou not, howe ye faith wrought with his deedes, and through ye deedes was the fayth made perfect ²³ And the scripture was fulfylled, which sayth: Abraham beleued God, and it was reputed vnto hym for ryghteousnesse: And he was called the friende of God ²⁴ Ye see then, howe that of deedes a man is iustified, and not of fayth only

¹ My brethren, be not manie maisters, knowyng howe that we shall receaue the greater damnation

¹⁴ Is any diseased among you? let hym call for the elders of the Churche, and let them pray for him, and annoynt him with oyle in the name of the Lorde 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

³ Blessed be God the father of our Lorde Iesus Christe, which accordyng to his aboundaunt mercie begat vs agayne vnto a lyuely hope, by that that Iesus Christe rose agayne from death ⁴ To an inheritaunce immortall, and vndefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserued in heauen for you ⁵ Which are kept by the power of God through fayth vnto saluation, which is prepared alredie to be shewed in the last tyme

⁷ That the triall of your fayth, beyng much more precious then golde that perisheth, though it be tried with fyre, myght be founde vnto laude, glorie, and honour, at the appearyng of Iesus Christe ⁸ Whom ye haue not seene, and yet loue hym, in whom euen nowe though ye see hym not, yet do you beleue, & reioyce with ioy vnspeakeable and glorious ⁹ Receauyng the ende of your fayth, euen the saluation of your soules

¹³ Wherfore girde vp the loynes of your mynde, be sober, and trust perfectly on the grace that is brought vnto you, by the reuelation of Iesus Christe

¹⁹ But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lambe vndefiled, & without spot ²⁰ Which was ordeyned beforehande, euen before the worlde was made, but was declared in the last tymes for your sakes

²² Euen ye which haue purified your soules through the spirite in obeying the trueth, with brotherly loue vnfayned, see that ye loue one another with a pure heart feruentlye

⁹ Not rendryng euyl for euyll, or rebuke for rebuke: but contrarywyse blesse, knowyng that ye are therevnto called, euen that ye shoulde be heyres of the blessyng

⁷ The ende of all thynges is at hande. Be ye therefore sober, and watche vnto prayer

⁹ Be ye harberous one to another, without grudgyng

⁹ Be ye harberous one to another, without grudgyng ¹⁰ As euery man hath receaued the gyft, eue so minister the same one to another, as good ministers of the manifold grace of God

¹⁰ As euery man hath receaued the gyft, eue so minister the same one to another, as good ministers of the manifold grace of God

¹⁰ As euery man hath receaued the gyft, eue so minister the same one to another, as good ministers of the manifold grace of God ¹¹ If any man speake, [let hym talke] as the wordes of God. If any man minister, let him do it as of the abilitie which God ministreth vnto hym, that God in all thinges may be glorified through Iesus Christe, to whom be prayse and dominion for euer and euer. Amen

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 ⁶ Submit your selues therfore vnder the mightie hande of God, that he may exalt you when the tyme is come

⁸ Be sober, & watche, for your aduersarie the deuyll, as a roaryng Lion walketh about seking who he may deuour

⁸ For yf these thynges be among you, and be plenteous, they wyll make you that ye neither shalbe idle nor vnfruitefull in the knowledge of our Lorde Iesus Christe

¹³ Notwithstandyng I thynke it meete, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stirre you vp by puttyng you in remembraunce ¹⁴ Forasmuch as I am sure that shortly I must put of this my tabernacle, euen as our Lorde Iesus Christe shewed me ¹⁵ I wyll euer also geue my diligence yt ye may haue wherwith to stirre vp the remembraunce of these thynges after my departyng

⁴ For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them downe into hell, and delyuered them into chaynes of darknesse, to be kept vnto iudgement

¹⁷ These are welles without water, cloudes that are caryed with a tempest, to whom the mist of darknesse is reserued for euer

⁴ And say: Where is the promise of his commyng? For sence the fathers dyed, all thynges continue a lyke from the begynnyng of the creation ⁵ For this they knowe not (and that wylfully) howe that the heauens were of olde, and the earth that was of the water, and by the water, by the worde of God ⁶ By the which thinges the world that then was, perisshed, beyng then ouerrunne with water ⁷ But the heauens and earth whiche are nowe, be kept by his worde in store, and reserued vnto fire, agaynst the day of iudgement and perdition of vngodly men ⁸ Dearely beloued, be not ignoraunt of this one thyng, howe that one day is with the Lorde as a thousande yere, & a thousande yere as one day ⁹ The Lorde that hath promised, is not slacke, as some men count slacknesse, but is pacient to vswarde [forasmuch] as he woulde haue no man lost, but wyll receaue all men to repentaunce ¹⁰ Neuerthelesse the day of the Lorde wyll come as a theefe in the nyght, in the which the heauens shal passe away with a noyse, and the elementes shall melt with heate, the earth also and the workes that are therein shall burne

¹² Lokyng for, and hastyng vnto the comyng of the day of God, by whom the heauens shall perishe with fire, and the elementes shall melt with heate ¹³ Neuerthelesse, we accordyng to his promise, loke for a newe heauen, and a newe earth, wherein dwelleth ryghteousnesse ¹⁴ Wherfore dearely beloued, seyng that ye loke for such thynges, be diligent that ye may be founde of hym in peace, without spot, and vndefyled

¹⁹ They went out from vs, but they were not of vs: For yf they had ben of vs, they woulde no doubt haue continued with vs: But that it myght appeare that they were not of vs ²⁰ Neuerthelesse, ye haue an oyntment of hym that is holy, and ye knowe all thynges

²⁵ And this is the promise that he hath promised vs, euen eternall lyfe

²⁷ And the annoyntyng whiche ye haue receaued of hym dwelleth in you: And ye nede not that any man teach you, but as the same annoynting teacheth you of all thynges, and it is true, and not lying: and as it taught you, ye shall abyde in it

¹⁰ In this are ye children of God knowe, and the chyldren of the deuyll: Whosoeuer doth not ryghteousnesse, is not of God, neither he that loueth not his brother

¹² Not as Cain, which was of that wicked, and slewe his brother: And wherfore slewe he hym? Because his owne workes were euyll, and his brothers good ¹³ Maruayle not my brethren though the worlde hate you ¹⁴ We knowe, that we are translated from death vnto lyfe, because we loue the brethren. He that loueth not his brother, abideth in death

¹⁴ We knowe, that we are translated from death vnto lyfe, because we loue the brethren. He that loueth not his brother, abideth in death

¹⁴ We knowe, that we are translated from death vnto lyfe, because we loue the brethren. He that loueth not his brother, abideth in death ¹⁵ Whosoeuer hateth his brother, is a manslear: And ye knowe that no manslear, hath eternall life abidyng in hym

¹⁵ Whosoeuer hateth his brother, is a manslear: And ye knowe that no manslear, hath eternall life abidyng in hym

¹⁵ Whosoeuer hateth his brother, is a manslear: And ye knowe that no manslear, hath eternall life abidyng in hym ¹⁶ Hereby perceaue we loue, because he layde downe his lyfe for vs, & we ought to lay downe our lyues for the brethren

¹⁶ Hereby perceaue we loue, because he layde downe his lyfe for vs, & we ought to lay downe our lyues for the brethren

¹⁶ Hereby perceaue we loue, because he layde downe his lyfe for vs, & we ought to lay downe our lyues for the brethren ¹⁷ But who so hath this worldes good, and seeth his brother haue neede, and shutteth vp his compassion from hym: howe dwelleth the loue of God in hym

¹⁷ But who so hath this worldes good, and seeth his brother haue neede, and shutteth vp his compassion from hym: howe dwelleth the loue of God in hym

¹⁷ But who so hath this worldes good, and seeth his brother haue neede, and shutteth vp his compassion from hym: howe dwelleth the loue of God in hym ¹⁸ My babes, let vs not loue in worde, neither in tongue: but in deede and in veritie

¹⁸ My babes, let vs not loue in worde, neither in tongue: but in deede and in veritie ¹⁹ Hereby we knowe that we are of the trueth, and shall assure our heartes before hym

¹⁹ Hereby we knowe that we are of the trueth, and shall assure our heartes before hym ²⁰ For yf our heart condempne vs, God is greater then our heart, and knoweth all thynges

⁷ Dearely beloued, let vs loue one another, for loue commeth of God: And euery one that loueth, is borne of God, and knoweth God ⁸ He that loueth not, knoweth not God: for God is loue ⁹ In this appeared the loue of God to vs warde, because God sent his only begotten sonne into the worlde, that we myght lyue through hym ¹⁰ Herein is loue, not that we loued God, but that he loued vs, and sent his sonne to be the agreement for our sinnes ¹¹ Dearely beloued, yf God so loued vs, we ought also to loue one another ¹² No man hath seene God at any time. If we loue one another, God dwelleth in vs, and his loue is perfect in vs

²⁰ If a man say, I loue God, & yet hate his brother, he is a lyer: For how can he yt loueth not his brother whom he hath seene, loue God who he hath not seene

²⁰ If a man say, I loue God, & yet hate his brother, he is a lyer: For how can he yt loueth not his brother whom he hath seene, loue God who he hath not seene

¹ Whosoeuer beleueth that Iesus is Christe, is borne of God: And euerie one that loueth him which begat, loueth hym also which is begotten of hym ² By this we knowe that we loue the chyldren of God, when we loue God, and kepe his commaundementes ³ For this is the loue of God, that we kepe his commaundementes, and his commaundementes are not greeuous

¹¹ And this is the recorde, how that God hath geuen vnto vs eternall lyfe, and this lyfe, is in his sonne ¹² He that hath the sonne, hath lyfe: and he that hath not the sonne of God, hath not lyfe

⁵ Beloued, thou doest faythfully whatsoeuer thou doest to the brethren, and to straungers ⁶ Which beare witnesse of thy loue before the Churche. Which brethren, yf thou bryng forwardes of their iourney after a godly sorte, thou shalt do well ⁷ Because that for his names sake they went foorth, and toke nothyng of the gentiles ⁸ We therfore ought to receaue such, that we myght be helpers to the trueth

⁵ My mynde is therfore to put you in remembraunce: forasmuch as ye once knowe this, howe that the Lorde, after that he had delyuered the people out of Egypt, destroyed the which afterward beleued not ⁶ The Angels also which kept not their first estate, but left their owne habitation, he hath reserued in euerlastyng chaynes vnder darkenesse, vnto the iudgement of the great day ⁷ Euen as Sodome and Gomorrhe, and the cities about them, which in lyke maner defiled them selues with fornication, and folowed straunge fleshe, are set foorth for an ensample, and suffer the payne of eternall fyre

¹³ They are the ragyng waues of the sea, fomyng out their owne shame: They are wandryng starres, to whom is reserued the mist of darknes for euer ¹⁴ Enoch the seuenth from Adam, prophesied before of such, saying: Beholde, the Lorde shall come with thousandes of saintes

¹⁴ Enoch the seuenth from Adam, prophesied before of such, saying: Beholde, the Lorde shall come with thousandes of saintes ¹⁵ To geue iudgement agaynst all men, and to rebuke all that are vngodly among them, of all their vngodly deedes, which they haue vngodly committed, and of all their cruel speakynges, which vngodly sinners haue spoken agaynst hym

¹⁵ To geue iudgement agaynst all men, and to rebuke all that are vngodly among them, of all their vngodly deedes, which they haue vngodly committed, and of all their cruel speakynges, which vngodly sinners haue spoken agaynst hym

¹⁹ These are makers of sectes, fleshlie, hauyng not the spirite

²¹ And kepe your selues in the loue of God, lokyng for the mercie of our Lord Iesus Christe, vnto eternall lyfe

⁷ Beholde, he commeth with cloudes, and all eyes shall see hym, and they also which pearsed hym: And all kinredes of the earth shall wayle before hym. Euen so. Amen

⁴ Neuertheles, I haue [somewhat] against thee, because thou hast left thy first loue ⁵ Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first workes: Or els I wyll come vnto thee shortly, & wyll remoue thy candlesticke out of his place, except thou repet

⁵ Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first workes: Or els I wyll come vnto thee shortly, & wyll remoue thy candlesticke out of his place, except thou repet

¹⁰ Feare none of those thynges, which thou shalt suffer: Beholde, the deuyll shall caste some of you into prison, to tempt you, and ye shall haue tribulation ten dayes. Be faythfull vnto the death, and I wyll geue thee a crowne of lyfe

²⁵ But that which ye haue alredy, holde fast tyll I come ²⁶ And whosoeuer ouercommeth, and kepeth my workes vnto the ende, to hym wyll I geue power ouer nations ²⁷ And he shall rule them with a rodde of yron: and as the vessels of a potter, shall they be broken to sheuers ²⁸ Euen as I receaued of my father, so wyll I geue hym the mornyng starre

¹ And write vnto the Angel of the Churche that is at Sardis, this sayth he that hath the seuen spirites of God, and the seuen starres. I knowe thy workes: thou hast a name that thou lyuest, and thou art dead ² Be awake, and strength the thynges which remayne, that are redie to dye: For I haue not founde thy workes perfect before God

⁹ Beholde, I make them of the synagogue of Satan, which call them selues Iewes and are not, but do lye: Behold, I wyll make them that they shal come and worshyp before thy feete, and shall knowe that I haue loued thee

¹⁵ I knowe thy workes, that thou arte neither colde nor hotte: I woulde thou were colde or hotte ¹⁶ So the, because thou art luke warme, and neither colde nor hotte, I wyll spewe thee out of my mouth ¹⁷ Because thou sayest, I am riche and increased with goodes, and haue neede of nothyng: & knowest not howe that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poore, and blynde, and naked ¹⁸ I counsel thee to bye of me gold tryed in the fyre, that thou mayest be riche, and whyte rayment, that thou mayest be clothed, that thy fylthie nakednesse do not appeare, and annoynt thyne eyes with eye salue, that thou mayest see ¹⁹ As many as I loue, I rebuke and chasten: Be feruent therfore, & repent ²⁰ Beholde, I stande at the doore and knocke: If any man heare my voyce, and open the doore, I wyll come in to hym, and wyll suppe with hym, and he with me ²¹ To hym that ouercommeth, wyll I graunt to sitte with me in my throne, euen as I ouercame, and haue sitten with my father in his throne

⁵ And out of the throne proceaded lightnynges, and thundrynges, and voyces, and there were seue lampes of fire burnyng before the throne, whiche are the seuen spirites of God

¹⁰ And hast made vs vnto our God kinges and priestes, and we shall raigne on the earth

¹⁷ For the lambe which is in the myddes of the throne shall feede them, and shall leade them vnto fountaynes of lyuyng water, and God shall wype awaye all teares from their eyes

⁷ And there was a battayle in heauen, Michael and his angels fought with the dragon, and the dragon fought and his angels ⁸ And preuayled not, neither was their place founde any more in heauen ⁹ And the great dragon, that olde serpent, called the deuyll & Satanas, was cast out, which deceaueth all the world: And he was cast into the earth, and his angels were cast out with hym

⁸ And al yt dwel vpon the earth, worshipped him whose names are not writte in the booke of lyfe of ye lambe, which was killed from the beginnyng of the world

⁴ These are they which were not defiled with wome, for they are virgins: These folowe the lambe whither soeuer he goeth: These were redeemed fro men, beyng the first fruites vnto God, and to the lambe

¹⁰ The same shall drynke of the wyne of the wrath of God: yea, of the pure wyne which is powred in ye cup of his wrath: And he shalbe punisshed in fyre & brimstone, before the holy angels, and before the lambe ¹¹ And the smoke of their torment ascendeth vp euermore: And they haue no rest day nor nyght which worship the beast and his image, and whosoeuer receaueth the prynt of his name

¹⁵ Beholde, I come as a theefe. Happie is he that watcheth and kepeth his garmentes, lest he walke naked, and men see his fylthynesse

⁸ The beast that thou seest, was, and is not, and shall ascende out of the bottomlesse pyt, and shall go into perdition, and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder (whose names are not written in the booke of lyfe from the begynnyng of the world) when they beholde the beast that was, and is not, and yet is

⁷ Let vs be glad, & reioyce, & geue honor to hym: for the mariage of the lambe is come, & his wyfe made her selfe redy

⁷ Let vs be glad, & reioyce, & geue honor to hym: for the mariage of the lambe is come, & his wyfe made her selfe redy ⁸ And to her was graunted that she should be arayed with pure and goodly raynes: For the raynes is the ryghteousnes of saintes ⁹ And he sayde vnto me, write: Happy are they which are called vnto the supper of the lambes mariage. And he said vnto me: These are the true sayinges of God

¹⁶ And hath on his vesture and on his thygh a name written, King of kinges, and Lorde of lordes

¹⁰ And the deuyll that deceaued them, was cast into a lake of fire & brymstone, where the beast and the false prophete shalbe tormented day & nyght for euermore

¹⁰ And the deuyll that deceaued them, was cast into a lake of fire & brymstone, where the beast and the false prophete shalbe tormented day & nyght for euermore ¹¹ And I sawe a great whyte throne, and him that sate on it, fro whose face fledde away both the earth and heauen, and their place was no more founde

¹⁵ And whosoeuer was not founde written in the booke of lyfe, was cast into the lake of fire

² And I Iohn sawe the holy citie newe Hierusalem come downe from God out of heauen, prepared as a bride garnisshed for her husbande

⁷ He that ouercommeth, shall inherite all thynges, and I wyl be his God, and he shalbe my sonne ⁸ But the fearefull and vnbeleuing, and the abhominable, and murtherers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, & all lyers, shall haue their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brymstone: which is the seconde death ⁹ And there came vnto me one of the seuen angels whiche had the seuen vyals full of the seuen last plagues, and talked with me, saying: Come hyther, I wyll shewe thee the bryde, the lambes wyfe

¹¹ He that doeth euyll, let hym do euyll styll: and he which is filthie, let hym be filthie styll: and he that is ryghteous, let hym be ryghteous styll: and he that is holy, let hym be holy styll ¹² And beholde, I come shortly, and my rewarde is with me, to geue euery man accordyng as his deedes shalbe
