¹ How dare one off you hauynge busynes with another, go to lawe before the vnrighteous, and not before the sayntes? ² Do ye not knowe that the sayntes shal iudge the worlde? Yf the worlde then shalbe iudged off you, are ye not good ynough to iudge small matters? ³ Knowe ye not that we shal iudge the angels? how moch more thinges that pertayne to the teporall life? ⁴ Therfore yf ye haue iudgmentes of temporall matters, take them that are despysed in the congregacion, and set them to be iudges. ⁵ This I saye to youre shame. Is there vtterly no wyse man amoge you? What not one at all, that can iudge betwene brother & brother? ⁶ but one brother goeth to lawe with another, and that before the vnbeleuers? ⁷ Now therfore is there vtterly a faute amoge you, that ye go to lawe one with another. Why rather suffre ye not wronge? Why suffre ye not youre selues rather to be defrauded? ⁸ but ye youre selues do wroge and defraude, and that euen the brethre. ⁹ Knowe ye not that ye vnrighteous shal not inheret the kyngdome of God?

For they shalbe two ( sayeth he) in one flesshe. ¹⁷ But he that cleueth vnto the LORDE, is one sprete. ¹⁸ Fle whordome. All synnes yt a man doth, are without the body. But he that commytteth whordome, synneth agaynst his awne body. ¹⁹ Or knowe ye not that youre body is the temple of the holy goost? Whom ye haue of God, and are not youre awne? ²⁰ For ye are dearly boughte. Prayse ye God therfore in yor body & in yor sprete, which are Gods.

⁸ and sayde vnto them: We (after oure abilyte) haue boughte oure brethren the Iewes, which were solde vnto the Heythen. And wyl ye sell youre brethren, whom we haue boughte vnto vs? Then helde they their peace, & coulde fynde nothinge to answere. ⁹ And I sayde: It is not good that ye do. Oughte ye not to walke in the feare of God, because of the rebuke of the Heythen oure enemies?

¹⁶ That thou mayest be delyuered also from the straunge woman, and from her that is not thine owne: which geueth swete wordes, ¹⁷ forsaketh the hu?bande of hir youth, and forgetteth the couenaunt of hir God. ¹⁸ For hir house is enclyned vnto death, and hir pathes vnto hell. ¹⁹ All they that go in vnto her, come not agayne, nether take they holde of the waye of life.

³ For the lippes of an harlot are a droppinge hony combe, and hir throte is softer then oyle. ⁴ But at ye last she is as bitter as wormwod, and as sharpe as a two edged swerde. ⁵ Hir fete go downe vnto death, and hir steppes pearse thorow vnto hell. ⁶ She regardeth not the path of life, so vnstedfast are hir wayes, that thou canst not knowe them. ⁷ Heare me therfore (o my sonne) and departe not fro the wordes of my mouth. ⁸ Kepe thy waye farre from her, and come not nye ye dores of hir house. ⁹ That thou geue not thine honor vnto another, and thy yeares to the cruell. ¹⁰ That other men be not fylled with thy goodes, & that thy labours come not in a straunge house. ¹¹ Yee that thou mourne not at the last (when thou hast spent thy body and goodes) ¹² and then saye: Alas, why hated I nurtoure? why dyd my hert despyse correccion? ¹³ Wherfore was not I obedient vnto the voyce of my teachers, & herkened not vnto them that infourmed me? ¹⁴ I am come almost in to all mysfortune, in the myddest of the multitude and congregacion. ¹⁵ Drinke of the water of thine owne well, and of the ryuers that runne out of thine owne spriges.

²⁴ that they maye kepe the fro the euell woman, & from the flaterynge tonge of the harlott: ²⁵ yt thou lust not after her beuty in thine herte, & lest thou be take wt hir fayre lokes. ²⁶ An harlot wil make a ma to begg his bred, but a maried woman wil hunt for ye precious life. ²⁷ Maye a man take fyre in his bosome, and his clothes not be brent? ²⁸ Or can one go vpon hote coales, and his fete not be hurte? ²⁹ Euen so, who so euer goeth in to his neghbours wife, and toucheth her, can not be vngiltie. ³⁰ Men do not vtterly despyse a thefe, that stealeth to satisfie his soule, when he is hongerie: ³¹ but yf he maye be gotten, he restoreth agayne seuen tymes asmoch, or els he maketh recompence with all the good of his house. ³² But who so comitteth aduoutrie with a woma, he is a foole, and bryngeth his life to destruccion.

⁵ that she maye kepe ye fro ye strauge woma, & fro ye harlot which geueth swete wordes. ⁶ For out of the wyndowe of my house I loked thorow the trelies, ⁷ & behelde the simple people: & amonge other yonge folkes I spyed one yonge foole ⁸ goinge ouer the stretes, by the corner in the waye towarde the harlottes house ⁹ in the twylight of of the euenynge, when it begane now to be night and darcke. ¹⁰ And beholde, there mett him a woma in an harlottes apparell ¹¹ (a disceatfull, waton & an vnstedfast woma: whose fete coude not abyde in ye house, ¹² now is she without, now i ye stretes, & lurketh i euery corner) ¹³ she caught ye yoge ma, kyssed him & was not ashamed, sayege: ¹⁴ I had a vowe to paye, & this daye I perfourme it. ¹⁵ Therfore came I forth to mete the, that I might seke thy face, and so I haue founde the. ¹⁶ I haue deckte my bed with coueringes & clothes of Egipte. ¹⁷ My bed haue I made to smell of Myrre, Aloes and Cynamom. ¹⁸ Come, let vs lye together, & take oure pleasure till it be daye light. ¹⁹ For the good man is not at home, he is gone farre of. ²⁰ He hath taken the bagg of moneye with him, who can tell whe he cometh home? ²¹ Thus with many swete wordes she ouercame him, and with hir flateringe lippes she wanne him. ²² Immediatly he foloweth her, as it were an oxeled to the slaughter (and like as it were to the stockes, where fooles are punyshed) ²³ so longe till she hath wounded his lyuer with hir darte: like as yf a byrde haisted to the snare, not knowinge that the parell of his life lyeth there vpo. ²⁴ Heare me now therfore (o my sonne) and marcke the wordes of my mouth. ²⁵ Let not thine herte wandre in hir wayes, & be not thou disceaued in hir pathes. ²⁶ For many one hath she wouded and cast downe, yee many a stronge ma hath she slayne. ²⁷ Hir house is the waye vnto hell, where men go downe to the chambers of death.

¹⁶ Who so is ignoraunt (sayeth she) let him come hither, and to the vnwyse she sayeth: ¹⁷ stollen waters are swete, & the bred that is preuely eaten, hath a good taist. ¹⁸ But they cosider not that death is there, and that hir gestes go downe to hell.

¹ A false balaunce is an abhominacion vnto the LORDE, but a true weight pleaseth him.

⁸ The wy?dome of him that hath vnderstondinge is, to take hede vnto his waye, but the foolishnesse of the vnwyse disceaueth.

²² Saye not thou: I will recompence euell, but put yi trust in the LORDE, & he shal defende ye.

⁸ He yt soweth wickednesse, shal reape sorowe, & the rodde of his plage shal destroye him.

¹² The generacion that thynke them selues cleane, shal not be clensed from their fylthynesse.

¹⁶ Wash you, make you clene, put awaye yor euell thoughtes out of my sight, cease from doinge of euell and violence.

²³ Thy prynces are traytours and companyons of theues. They loue giftes altogether, and folowe rewardes. As for the fatherles, they helpe him not to his right, nether wil they let the wydowes causes come before them.

¹ Wo be vnto you yt make vnrightuous lawes, and devyse thinges, which be to harde for to kepe: ² wherthorow the poore are oppressed, on euery syde, and the innocetes of my people are there with robbed of iudgment: that wyddowes maye be youre praye, and that ye maye robbe the fatherlesse.

²⁵ And the whole sede of Israel shalbe iustified, & praysed in ye LORDE

¹¹ With trauayle and laboure of his soule, shal he optayne greate riches. My rightuous seruaunt shall with his wisdome iustifie & delyuer the multitude, for he shal beare awaye their synnes.

⁷ Let the vngodly man forsake his wayes, ad the vnrightuous his ymaginacios, & turne agayne vnto the LORDE, so shal he be merciful vnto him: and to oure God, for he is redy to forgeue.

¹⁴ O Ierusalem, wash thine hert from wickednesse, that thou mayest be helped. How longe shal thy noysome thoughtes remayne with the?

¹¹ What? thinke you this house that beareth my name, is a denne of theues? And these thinges are not done priuely, but before myne eyes, saieth the LORDE.

¹³ Beholde, I haue smytten my hondes vpo thy couetousnesse, that thou hast vsed, and vpon the bloude which hath bene shed in the.

²⁷ Thy rulers in the are like rauyshinge wolues, to shed bloude, and to destroye soules, for their owne covetous lucre.

²⁹ The people in the londe vseth wicked extorcio and robbery. They vexe the poore and nedy: and oppresse the straunger agaynst right.

²⁵ Then will I poure cleare water vpon you, & ye shalbe clene: Yee from all youre vnclennesse and from all yor Idols shal I clense you.

¹⁸ These shal take in the kyngdome off the sayntes of the most hyest, and possesse it still more & more for a longe season.

²² vntill the tyme, that the olde aged came, that the iudgment was geue to the chefest sayntes: and till the tyme, that ye sayntes had the kyngdome in possession.

² Their herte is deuyded, therfore wil they be destroyed. The LORDE shall breake downe their ymages, he shal destroye their aulters.

² When they covet to haue londe, they take it by violence, they robbe men off their houses. Thus they oppresse a ma for his house, & euery man for his heretage.

³ Then sayde he vnto me: This is the curse, yt goeth forth ouer the whole earth: For all theues shalbe iudged after this boke, & all swearers shalbe iudged acordinge to the same.

⁵ And ye shall fle vnto the valley of my hilles, for the valley off the hylles shal reach vnto Asal. Yee fle shall ye. like as ye fled for the earthquake in the dayes off Osias kynge of Iuda. And the LORDE my God shal come, and all sanctes with him.

⁵ I will come & punysh you, & I myself wil be a swift wytnes agaynst the witches, agaynst the aduouterers, agaynst false swearers: yee ad agaynst those, that wrogeously kepe backe the hyrelynges dewty: which vexe the wyddowes & the fatherlesse, & oppresse the straunger, and feare not me, sayeth the LORDE of hoostes.

¹⁶ Let youre light so shyne before men, that they maye se youre good workes, and glorify youre father which is in heauen.

³⁹ But I saye vnto you: that ye resist not euell. But whosoeuer geueth the a blowe on thy right cheke, turne to him the other also. ⁴⁰ And yf eny man will sue the at the lawe, & take awaye thy coate, let him haue thy cloake also. ⁴¹ And who so compelleth the to go a myle, go wt hym twayne.

¹⁷ Perceaue ye not, yt what soeuer goeth in at ye mouth, descedeth downe in to ye bely, & is cast out into the draught?

²⁰ These are ye thinges that defyle a man. But to eate wt vnwasshen hondes, defyleth not a man.

¹⁵ Yf thy brother trespace agaynst the, go and tell him his faute betwene the and him alone. Yf he heare the, thou hast wone thy brother. ¹⁶ But yf he heare the not, then take yet with the one or two, that in the mouth of two or thre wytnesses, euery matter maye be stablyshed. ¹⁷ Yf he heare not them, tell it vnto the congregacion. Yf he heare not the cogregacion, holde him as an Heithen and Publican.

⁵ & sayde: For this cause shal a ma leaue father & mother, & cleue vnto his wife, & they two shalbe one fleshe. ⁶ Now are they not twayne then, but one flesh. Let not man therfore put a sunder, yt which God hath coupled together.

²⁸ Iesus sayde vnto the: Verely I saye vnto you: that when the sonne of man shal sytt in the seate of his maiestye, ye which haue folowed me in the new byrth, shal syt also vpon twolue seates, and iudge ye twolue trybes of Israel. ²⁹ And who so euer forsaketh houses or brethre, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or londes, for my names sake, the same shal receaue an hundreth folde, and inheret euerlastinge life.

¹⁹ And in the waye he sawe a fygge tre, and came vnto it, and founde nothinge theron, but leaues onely, and sayde vnto it: Neuer frute growe on the from hence forth. And immediatly the fygge tre wythred awaye.

³¹ Whether of them twayne dyd the wil of the father? They sayde vnto him: the first. Iesus sayde vnto the: Verely I saye vnto you: The publicans and harlottes shal come in to the kyngdome of God before you. ³² For Ihon came vnto you, and taught you ye right waye and ye beleued him not: but the publicans & harlottes beleued hi. As for you, though ye sawe it, yet were ye not moued with repetaunce, that ye might afterwarde haue beleued him.

¹³ Wo vnto you Scrybes and Pharises, ye ypocrytes, that shut vp the kyngdome of heauen before men: Ye come not in youre selues, nether suffre ye them to enter, that wolde be in.

³³ O ye serpentes, O ye generacion of vypers, how wyl ye escape the damnacion of Hell?

³⁴ Then shal the kynge saye vnto them that shalbe on his right honde: Come hither ye blessed of my father, inheret ye ye kingdome, which is prepared for you from the begynnynge of the worlde.

⁴¹ Then shal he saye also vnto them that shalbe on the left hande: Departe fro me ye cursed in to the euerlastinge fyre, which is prepared for the deuell and his angels.

¹⁹ For it entreth not in to his hert, but in to ye bely, and goeth out in to the draught, that purgeth all meates.

⁸ and they two shalbe one flesh. Now are they not twayne the, but one flesh.

¹⁹ Thou knowest the commaundementes: Thou shalt not breake wedlocke: thou shalt not kyll: thou shalt not steale: thou shalt beare no false wytnesse: thou shalt begyle no man: Honoure thy father and mother.

²⁹ And who so smyteth the on the one cheke, offre him ye other also. And who so taketh awaye thy cloake, forbyd him not yi cote also.

¹⁴ As for it that fel amonge the thornes, are soch as heare it, and go forth amonge the cares, riches and volupteousnesses of this life, and are choked and brynge forth no frute.

¹⁴ I tell you: This man wente downe in to his house iustified more the the other. For who so euer exalteth himself, shalbe brought lowe: and he that humbleth himself, shalbe exalted.

¹⁶ He shal come, and destroye those hussbandmen, and let out his vynyarde vnto other. Whan they herde that, they sayde: God forbyd.

³⁴ But take hede vnto youre selues, that yor hertes be not ouerlade with excesse of eatinge and with dronkennes, and with takinge of thought for lyuynge, and so this daye come vpo you vnawares.

³⁰ that ye maye eate and drynke at my table in my kyngdome, and syt vpon seates, and iudge the twolue trybes of Israel.

²¹ But he spake of ye teple of his body.

⁶ That which is borne of flesh, is flesh: & that which is borne of the sprete, is sprete.

²⁸ Maruayle not ye at this: for ye houre cometh, in ye which all that are in ye graues, shal heare his voyce, ²⁹ and shal go forth, they that haue done good, vnto the resurreccion of life: but they that haue done euell, vnto the resurreccion of damnacion.

²⁷ Laboure not for the meate which perisheth but yt endureth vnto euerlastinge life, which the sonne of ma shal geue you: For him hath God the father sealed.

³⁹ This is ye will of the father, which hath sent me, that of all that he hath geue me, I shulde lose nothinge, but shulde rayse it vp agayne at the last daye. ⁴⁰ This is the wyl of him which hath sent me, that, who soeuer seyth the sonne and beleueth on him, haue euerlastinge life, and I shal rayse him vp at the last daye.

⁴⁹ Youre fathers ate Manna in the wyldernes, and are deed.

²⁵ Iesus saide vnto her: I am the resurreccion & the life He yt beleueth on me, shal lyue, though he were deed allready: ²⁶ & whosoeuer lyueth and beleueth on me, shal neuer dye. Beleuest thou this?

⁶ (This sayde he not that he cared for the poore, but because he was a thefe, and had the bagge, and bare that which was geue.)

¹⁰ Iesus sayde vnto him: He that is wasshe, nedeth not, saue to washe ye fete, but is cleane euery whytt. And ye are cleane but not all.

²¹ that they all maye be one, like as thou father art in me, and I in ye that they also maye be one in vs: that the worlde maye beleue, that thou hast sent me. ²² And the glory which thou gauest me, haue I geuen them: that they maye be one, like as we are one. ²³ I in the, and thou in me, that they maye be perfecte in one, and that the worlde maye knowe, that thou hast sent me and hast loued them, as thou hast loued me.

¹⁵ And in those dayes Peter stode vp in the myddes amonge the disciples, and sayde: (The company of the names together, was aboute an hundreth and twentye.)

²⁴ who God hath raysed vp, and lowsed the sorowes of death, for so moch as it was vnpossyble that he shulde be holden of it.

² Then the twolue called the multitude of the disciples together, and sayde: It is not mete that we shulde leaue the worde of God, and to serue at the tables. ³ Wherfore brethren, loke out amonge you seue men, that are of honeste reporte, and full of the holy goost and wyssdome, whom we maye appoynte to this nedefull busynes. ⁴ But we wil geue oure selues vnto prayer, and to the mynistracion of the worde of God.

²⁶ And on the nexte daye he shewed himself vnto them as they stroue together, and wolde haue set them at one agayne, and sayde: Syrs, ye are brethren, why hurte ye one another?

³⁹ and fro all ye thinges, wherby ye mighte not be iustifyed in the lawe of Moses.

³¹ because he hath appoynted a daye, in the which he wyl iudge the copasse of the worlde, with righteousnesse, by that one man in who he hath appoynted it: and offred faith vnto all men, after that he had raysed him vp from the deed.

¹⁴ Whan Paul was aboute to open his mouth, Gallio sayde vnto ye Iewes: Yf it were a matter of wronge or an euell dede (O ye Iewes) reason wolde that I shulde heare you: ¹⁵ but yf it be a question of wordes, and of names, and of ye lawe amoge you, loke ye to it youre selues, I thinke not to be iudge there ouer.

³⁸ But yff Demetrius and they that are craftesmen with him, haue ought to saye vnto eny man, the lawe is open, and there are rulers, let them accuse one another.

²⁸ Take hede therfore vnto youre selues, and to all the flocke, amonge the which the holy goost hath set you to be Bishoppes, to fede the congregacion of God, which he hath purchaced thorow his owne bloude.

¹⁶ And now why tariest thou? Aryse, and be baptysed, and wasse awaye thy synnes, and call vpon the name of the LORDE.

²⁵ Howbeit whan Paul spake off righteousnesse, and off chastite and off the iudgment to come, Felix trembled, and answered: Go thy waye for this tyme. Whan I haue a conuenyent tyme, I wil sende for the.

¹⁸ to ope their eyes, that they maye turne from the darknesse vnto the lighte, and from the power of ye deuell vnto God, that they maye receaue forgeuenesse of synnes, and the enheritaunce with them that are sanctified by faith in me.

¹⁸ As it is wrytte: The iust shal lyue by his faith. For ye wrath of God is declared from heauen vpon all vngodlynes and vnrighteousnes of me,which witholde the trueth of God in vnrighteousnes:

²⁴ Wherfore God likewyse gaue them vp vnto their hertes lustes in to vnclennes, to defyle their awne bodies in them selues,

²⁶ Therfore God gaue the vp vnto shamefull lustes. For their wemen chaunged the naturall vse in to the vnnaturall: ²⁷ likewyse ye me also lefte the naturall vse of the woman, and brent in their lustes one on another, and man with man wrought fylthines, and receaued in them selues the rewarde of their erroure, as it was acordinge.

³ But where as some of them dyd not beleue theron, what then? Shulde their vnbeleue make the promes of God of none effecte? ⁴ God forbyd. Let it rather be thus, that God is true, and all me lyers. As it is wrytten: That thou mayest be iustified in thy sayenges, and shuldest ouercome, wha thou art iudged.

⁶ God forbyd. How mighte God the iudge ye worlde?

²⁴ but without deseruynge are they made righteous eue by his grace, thorow the redempcion that is done by Christ Iesu,

²⁶ that at this tyme he mighte shewe ye righteousnes which avayleth before him: yt he onely mighte be righteous, & the righteous maker of him which is of the faith on Iesus. ²⁷ Where is now then thy reioysinge? It is excluded. By what lawe? By the lawe of workes? Nay, but by the lawe of faith. ²⁸ We holde therfore that a man is iustified by faith, without the workes of the lawe. ²⁹ Or is God the God of the Iewes onely? Is he not also the God of the Heythen? Yes verely the God of the Heythen also, ³⁰ for so moch as he is the God onely that iustifieth the circumcision which is of faith, and the vncircucision thorow faith. ³¹ Destroye we then the lawe thorow faith? God forbyd. But we mantayne the lawe.

⁵ owbeit vnto him, yt goeth not aboute with workes, but beleueth on him yt iustifieth the vngodly, is his faith counted for righteousnes.

¹ Because therfore that we are iustified by faith, we haue peace with God thorow oure LORDE Iesus Christ

⁹ Moch more then shal we be saued from wrath by him seynge we are now made righteous thorow his bloude.

² God forbyd. How shal we lyue in synne, yt are deed from it?

⁴ Therfore are we buried wt him by baptyme in to death, that, like as Christ was raysed vp from the deed by the glory of the father, euen so we also shulde walke in a new life. ⁵ For yf we be grafted wt him vnto like death, then shal we be like the resurreccion also: ⁶ For so moch as we knowe, that oure olde man is crucified with him, that the synfull body mighte ceasse, that hence forth we shulde serue synne no more. ⁷ For he that is deed, is made righteous fro synne ⁸ But yf we be deed with Christ, we beleue, that we shal lyue also with him,

¹² Let not synne reigne therfore in youre mortall bodye, that ye shulde obeye vnto the lustes of it.

¹² Let not synne reigne therfore in youre mortall bodye, that ye shulde obeye vnto the lustes of it. ¹³ ether geue ye ouer youre membres vnto synne to be wapens of vnrighteousnes, but geue ouer youre selues vnto God, as they that off deed are become lyuynge, and youre membres vnto God to be wapes off righteousnes.

¹⁵ How then? Shal we synne, because we are not vnder ye lawe, but vnder grace? God forbyd.

¹⁷ But God be thanked, that though ye haue bene the seruauntes of synne, ye are now yet obedient of herte to the ensample off the doctryne, whervnto ye are commytted. ¹⁸ For now that ye are made fre from synue, ye are become the seruauntes of righteousnes. ¹⁹ I wil speake grosly, because of the weaknes of youre flesh. Like as ye haue geuen ouer youre membres to the seruyce of vnclennesse, from one wickednesse to another: Eue so now also geue ouer youre membres to the seruyce of righteousnesse, that they maye be holy.

¹⁹ I wil speake grosly, because of the weaknes of youre flesh. Like as ye haue geuen ouer youre membres to the seruyce of vnclennesse, from one wickednesse to another: Eue so now also geue ouer youre membres to the seruyce of righteousnesse, that they maye be holy.

⁴ Euen so my brethren, ye also are deed vnto the lawe by the body of Christ, that ye shulde be with another (namely wt him which is raysed vp from the deed) that we shulde brynge forth frute vnto God.

⁷ What shal we saye then? Is the lawe synne? God forbyd: Neuertheles I knewe not synne, but by ye lawe. For I had knowne nothinge of lust, yf the lawe had not sayde: Thou shalt not lust.

¹³ Is that then which is good, become death vnto me? God forbyd. But synne, that it mighte appeare how yt it is synne, hath wroughte me death thorow good: that synne mighte be out of measure synfull by the commaundement. ¹⁴ For we knowe, that the lawe is spirituall, but I am carnall, solde vnder synne:

¹¹ Wherfore yf the sprete of him, that raysed vp Iesus from the deed, dwell in you, then shal euen he also that raysed vp Christ from the deed, quycke youre mortal bodies, because yt his sprete dwelleth in you.

³⁰ As for those whom he hath ordeyned before, them hath he called also: and whom he hath called, the hath he also made righteous: and whom he hath made righteous, them hath he glorified also.

³³ Who wyl laye enythinge to ye charge of Gods chosen? Here is God that maketh righteous,

¹ I beseke you brethre by the mercyfulnesse of God, that ye geue ouer youre bodies for a sacrifice, yt is quycke holy, and acceptable vnto God, which is yor reasonable seruynge off God.

⁵ Euen so we beynge many are one body in Christ. But amonge oure selues euery one is the membre of another,

¹⁷ Recompese vnto no man euell for euell. Prouyde honestie afore hade towarde euery ma. ¹⁸ Yf it be possible (as moch as in you is) haue peace with all men. ¹⁹ Dearly beloued, auenge not youre selues, but geue rowme vnto the wrath off God. For it is wrytte: Vengeaunce is myne, and I wil rewarde, sayeth ye LORDE.

⁷ and he that eateth not, eateth not vnto ye LORDE, and geueth God thankes. ⁸ For none of vs lyueth to himselfe, and none dyeth to him selfe. Yf we lyue, we lyue vnto the LORDE: Yf we dye, we dye vnto the LORDE. Therfore, whether we lyue or dye, we are the LORDES. ⁹ For therto dyed Christ, and rose agayne, and reuyued, that he mighte be LORDE both of deed and quycke.

¹⁴ I knowe, & am full certified in ye LORDE Iesu, yt there is nothinge comen of itselfe: but vnto him yt iudgeth it to be comen, to him is it comen. ¹⁵ But yf yi brother be greued ouer yi meate, the walkest thou not now after charite. Destroye not wt thy meate, him, for whom Christ dyed, ¹⁶ Se therfore that youre treasure be not euell spoke of. ¹⁷ For the kyngdome of God is not meate and drynke, but righteousnes, & peace, and ioye in the holy goost.

¹⁷ For the kyngdome of God is not meate and drynke, but righteousnes, & peace, and ioye in the holy goost. ¹⁸ He that in these thinges serueth Christ, pleaseth God, & is comended of me. ¹⁹ Let vs therfore folowe those thinges which make for peace, & thinges wherwith one maye edifye another. ²⁰ Destroye not ye worke of God for eny meates sake. All thinges truly are cleane, but it is euell for yt ma, which eateth wt hurte of his coscience ²¹ It is moch better yt thou eate no flesh, and drynke no wyne, nor eny thinge, wherby thy brother stombleth, or falleth, or is made weake. ²² Hast thou faith, haue it with yi selfe before God Happye is he, that codemneth not him selfe in yt thinge which he aloweth. ²³ But he that maketh conscience of it and yet eateth, is dampned: because he doth it not of faith. For what so euer is not of faith, that same is synne.

² vnto the congregacion off God which is at Corinthum, to them that are sanctified in Christ Iesus, sayntes by callinge, with all them that call vpon the name of oure LORDE Iesus Christ, in euery place both off theirs and oures.

³⁰ Of the same are ye also in Christ Iesu, which of God is made vnto vs wyssdome and righteousnes, and sanctifienge and redepcion,

¹⁶ Knowe ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the sprete of God dwelleth in you?

¹⁸ Let no ma disceaue himselfe. Yf eny man thinke himselfe wyse amoge you, let him become a foole in this worlde, that he maye be wyse.

¹⁰ We are fooles for Christes sake, but ye are wyse in Christ: We weake, but ye stroge: Ye honorable, but we despysed.

¹⁴ I wryte not this to shame you, but as my deare childre I warne you.

¹ There goeth a commen reporte, that there is whordome amoge you, and soch whordome, as is not once named amoge the Heythen, that one shulde haue his fathers wife.

¹⁰ & that meant I not at all of the whoremongers of this worlde, ether of the couetous, or of extorcioners, or of the that worshippe ymages, for then must ye nedes haue gone out of the worlde. ¹¹ But now haue I wrytte vnto you, yt ye shulde haue nothinge to do with them: (Namely,) yf there be eny man that is called a brother, and is an whoremonger, or couetous, or a worshipper of ymages, ether a raylar, or a dronkarde, or an extorcioner, with soch shal ye not eate. ¹² For what haue I to do to iudge them that are without? Do ye not iudge the that are within?

¹ How dare one off you hauynge busynes with another, go to lawe before the vnrighteous, and not before the sayntes? ² Do ye not knowe that the sayntes shal iudge the worlde? Yf the worlde then shalbe iudged off you, are ye not good ynough to iudge small matters? ³ Knowe ye not that we shal iudge the angels? how moch more thinges that pertayne to the teporall life? ⁴ Therfore yf ye haue iudgmentes of temporall matters, take them that are despysed in the congregacion, and set them to be iudges.

⁶ but one brother goeth to lawe with another, and that before the vnbeleuers? ⁷ Now therfore is there vtterly a faute amoge you, that ye go to lawe one with another. Why rather suffre ye not wronge? Why suffre ye not youre selues rather to be defrauded?

⁷ Now therfore is there vtterly a faute amoge you, that ye go to lawe one with another. Why rather suffre ye not wronge? Why suffre ye not youre selues rather to be defrauded?

⁹ Knowe ye not that ye vnrighteous shal not inheret the kyngdome of God? Be not disceaued. Nether whoremongers, ner worshippers off ymages, ner breakers off wedlocke, ner weaklinges, nether abusers of them selues with mankynde, ¹⁰ ner theues, nether the couetous, ner drokardes, ner cursed speakers, ner extorcioners shal inheret the kyngdome of God.

¹³ Meates are ordeyned for ye bely, & the bely for meates. But God shal destroye both it and them. The body belongeth not vnto whordome, but vnto the LORDE, and the LORDE vnto the body

¹⁵ Knowe ye not that youre bodies are the mebres of Christ? Shal I now take the membres of Christ, and make them the membres of an harlot? God forbyd.

¹⁵ Knowe ye not that youre bodies are the mebres of Christ? Shal I now take the membres of Christ, and make them the membres of an harlot? God forbyd. ¹⁶ Or do ye not knowe, that he which cleueth vnto an harlot, is one body? For they shalbe two ( sayeth he) in one flesshe.

¹⁹ Or knowe ye not that youre body is the temple of the holy goost? Whom ye haue of God, and are not youre awne?

²³ Ye are dearly boughte, be not ye the seruauntes of men.

⁴ So are we sure now cocernynge the meates offred vnto Idols, that an Idoll is nothinge in the worlde, and that there is none other God but one.

⁷ But euery man hath not knowlege: for some make yet consciece ouer the Idoll, and eate it as a thinge offred vnto Idols: and so their conscience beynge weake, is defyled. ⁸ Neuertheles meate furthureth not vs vnto God. Yf we eate, we shal not therfore be the better: yf we eate not, we shal not therfore be the lesse. ⁹ But take hede that this youre liberty be not an occasion of fallynge vnto ye weake. ¹⁰ For yf eny man se the (which hast knowlege) syt at the table in the Idols house, shal not his conscience whyle it is weake, be occasioned to eate of the Idoll offeringes? ¹¹ And so thorow thy knowlege shal the weake brother perishe, for who Christ dyed. ¹² But whan ye synne so agaynst the brethren, and wounde their weake coscience, ye synne agaynst Christ. ¹³ Wherfore yf meate offende my brother, I wyl neuer eate flesh, lest I offende my brother.

¹² But yf other be partakers of this power on you, wherfore are not we rather? Neuertheles we haue not vsed this power, but suffre all thinges, lest we shulde hynder the Gospell off Christ.

²⁴ Knowe ye not, that they which runne in a course, runne all, yet but one receaueth the rewarde? Runne ye so, that ye maye optayne.

²⁷ but I tame my body, and brynge it in to subieccion, lest whan I preach vnto other: I my selfe be a cast awaye.

³ and dyd all eate of one spirituall meate, ⁴ and dyd all drynke of one spirituall drynke: but they dronke of the spirituall rocke that folowed the, which rocke was Christ. ⁵ Neuertheles in many of them had God no delyte, for they were smytten downe in the wyldernesse.

²³ I maye do all thinges, but all thinges edifye not. ²⁴ Let noman seke his awne profit, but let euery man seke anothers welth. ²⁵ What soeuer is solde in the fleshmarket, that eate, and axe no question for conscience sake. ²⁶ For the earth is the LORDES, and all yt therin is. ²⁷ Yf eny of the yt beleue not, byd you to a feast, and yf ye be disposed to go, what soeuer is set before you, that eate, axinge no question for conscience sake. ²⁸ But yf eny man saye vnto you: This is offred vnto Idols, the eate not of it, for his sake that shewed it, and for hurtinge of conscience. (The earth is the LORDES and all that therin is.) ²⁹ Neuertheles I speake of consciece, not thine, but of ye other. For why shulde my liberty be iudged of another mas coscience? ³⁰ For yf I take my parte wt thankesgeuynge, why am I euell spoken of, for yt thinge wherfore I geue thankes? ³¹ Therfore whether ye eate or drynke, or what so euer ye do, do all to ye prayse of God.

³¹ Therfore whether ye eate or drynke, or what so euer ye do, do all to ye prayse of God. ³² Be not ye an occasion of fallinge, nether to the Iewes, ner to the Gentyles, ner to the congregacion of God, ³³ eue as I also please all men in all thinges, not sekinge myne awne profit, but the profit of many, that they mighte be saued. Folowe ye me, as I do Christ.

³ But I certifye you, that Christ is the heade of euery man. As for ye man, he is the heade of ye woman, but God is Christes heade.

¹⁴ Or doth not nature teach you, yt it is a shame for a man

² Ye knowe that ye were Heythe and wente youre wayes vnto dome Idols, eue as ye were led.

¹³ For we are all baptysed in one sprete to be one body, whether we be Iewes or Gentyles, whether we be bonde or fre, and haue all dronke of one sprete.

²⁷ But ye are the body of Christ, and membres, euery one of another.

³³ For God is not a God off discension, but off peace, like as in all congregacions off the sayntes.

¹⁵ yee and we are founde false witnesses of God, because we haue testified agaynst God, that he hath raysed vp Christ, whom he hath not raysed vp, yf the deed ryse not agayne. ¹⁶ For yf the deed ryse not agayne, the is Christ also not rysen agayne. ¹⁷ But yf Christ be not rysen agayne, then is youre faith in vayne, and ye are yet in youre synnes: ¹⁸ they also that are falle a slepe in Christ, are perished. ¹⁹ Yf in this life onely we hope on Christ, then are we of all men the most miserable. ²⁰ But now is Christ rysen from the deed, and is become ye first frutes of them that slepe.

²³ but euery one in his order. The first is Christ, then they that beloge vnto Christ, whan he commeth.

³³ Be not ye disceaued. Euell speakinges corruppe good maners. ³⁴ Awake righte vp, and synne not: for some haue not ye knowlege of God. This I saye to youre shame.

⁵⁰ This I saye brethren, that flesh & bloude can not inheret ye kyngdome of God: nether shal corrupcion inheret vncorrupcion.

¹ Concernynge the gadderynge that is made for the sayntes, as I haue ordeyned in the congregacions of Galacia, euen so do ye also.

¹⁵ But brethren (ye knowe the house off Stephana, that they are the first frutes in Achaia, and that they haue appoynted the selues to mynister vnto the sayntes)

¹⁴ for we knowe that he, which raysed vp ye LORDE Iesus, shal rayse vs vp also by ye meanes of Iesus, and shal set vs with you.

¹⁸ vnto vs, which loke not on the thinges that are sene, but on them which are not sene. For ye thinges which are sene, are temporall: but the thinges that are not sene, are eternall.

¹⁵ And therfore dyed he for all, that they which lyue, shulde not hence forth lyue vnto them selues, but vnto him, which dyed for them and rose agayne.

¹⁴ Set youre selues therfore at large.Beare not a straunge yock with the vnbeleuers. For what fellishippe hath righteousnes with vnrighteousnes? What company hath lighte wt darknesse?

¹⁶ How acordeth ye teple of God with ymages? Ye are the temple of the lyuynge God, as sayeth God: I wyl dwell in them, and walke in them, and wyl be their God, & they shalbe my people.

² For I am gelous ouer you wt godly gelousy. For I haue maried you vnto one ma, to brynge a chaste virgin vnto Christ.

²¹ lest whan I come agayne, God bringe me lowe amoge you & lest I be constrayned to bewayle many of the yt haue synned before, & haue not repented ouer ye vnclennesse and whordome, and wantonnes, which they haue comytted.

¹⁶ yet (in so moch as we knowe, that a man is not made righteous by the dedes off the lawe, but by the faith on Iesus Christ) we haue beleued also on Iesus Christ, yt we might be made righteous by the faith of Christ, and not by the dedes of the lawe, because that by the dedes of the lawe no flesh shal be iustified. ¹⁷ Yf we then which seke to be made righteous by christ, shulde be yet founde synners or selues, is not Christ then the mynister of synne? God forbyd.

²⁰ I am crucified with Christ, yet do I lyue: neuerthelesse now not I, but Christ lyueth in me. For ye life which I now lyue in ye flesshe, I lyue in the faith of ye sonne of God which loued me, and gaue himselfe for me.

⁸ The scripture sawe afore hade, that God iustifieth the Heythen thorow faith. Therfore shewed it glad tydinges afore vnto Abraham, and sayde: In the shal all the Heythen be blessed.

¹¹ That no man is iustified by the lawe in the sighte of God, it is euydet: For ye iust shal lyue by his faith.

¹³ But Christ hath delyuered vs from ye curse of the lawe, whan he became a curse for vs. (For it is wrytte: Cursed is euery man that hangeth on tre)

²¹ Is the lawe then agaynst the promyses of God? God forbyd. Howbeit yf there had bene geuen a lawe which coulde haue geue life, the no doute righteousnes shulde come of the lawe.

²⁴ Thus ye lawe was or scolemaster vnto Christ, that we might be made righteous by faith.

¹⁹ The dedes of ye flesh are manifest, which are these: Aduoutrye, whordome, vnclenes, wantanes, ²⁰ Idolatrye, witchcraft, hatred, variaunce, zele, wrath, stryfe, sedicion, sectes, ²¹ envyenge, murthur, dronkennes, glotony, and soch like: of the which I tell you before, as I haue tolde you in tyme past, that they which commytte soch, shal not inheret the kyngdome of God.

²¹ envyenge, murthur, dronkennes, glotony, and soch like: of the which I tell you before, as I haue tolde you in tyme past, that they which commytte soch, shal not inheret the kyngdome of God. ²² But the frute of the sprete, is loue, ioye, peace, longe sufferinge, getlenes, goodnesse, faithfulnes, ²³ mekenesse, teperaunce, Agaynst soch is not ye lawe:

¹⁴ But God forbyd that I shulde reioyse, saue onely in the crosse of oure LORDE Iesus Christ, wherby the worlde is crucified vnto me, and I vnto the worlde.

¹⁹ & what is the exceadinge greatnesse of his power towarde vs, which beleue acordinge to ye workynge of his mightie power, ²⁰ which he wroughte in Christ, whan he raysed him vp fro the deed, and set him on his righte hade i heauely thinges,

²² And hath put all thinges vnder his fete, and hath made him aboue all thinges the heade of the cogregacion, ²³ which is his body, and the fulnesse of him that fylleth all in all.

¹ And quyckened you also, whan ye were deed thorow trespaces and synnes, ² in the which in tyme past ye walked, acordinge to the course off this worlde, and after the prynce that ruleth in the ayre namely, after ye sprete, which now worketh in the children of vnbeleue, ³ amonge whom we also had oure conuersacion in tyme past in the lustes of oure flesh, and dyd the wyll of the flesh and of the mynde, and were naturally the children of wrath, euen as well as other.

²¹ in whom euery buyldinge coupled together, groweth to an holy temple in the LODRE, ²² in whom ye also are buylded together, to be an habitacion of God in the sprete.

³ and be diligent to kepe the vnite of the sprete thorow the bonde of peace. ⁴ One body and one sprete, eue as ye are called in one hope of youre callynge.

¹² wherby the sayntes mighte be coupled together thorow comen seruyce to the edifienge of ye body of Christ,

¹⁵ But let vs folowe the trueth in loue, and in all thinges growe in him, which is the heade, euen Christ, ¹⁶ in whom all the body is coupled together, and one membre hangeth by another thorow out all ye ioyntes. Wherby one mynistreth vnto another (acordinge to the operacion as euery membre hath his measure) and maketh, that ye body groweth to the edifienge of it selfe in loue. ¹⁷ This I saye therfore, and testifye in the LORDE, that ye walke nomore as ye other Heythen walke in the vanite of their mynde, ¹⁸ blynded in their vnderstondinge, beynge straungers fro the life which is in God thorow the ignoraunce that is in them, because of the blyndnes of their hert: ¹⁹ which beynge past repentaunce, haue geue them selues ouer vnto wantonnes, to worke all maner of vnclennes euen with gredynesse. ²⁰ But ye haue not so learned Christ, ²¹ yf so be that ye haue herde of him, & are taught in him, euen as the trueth is in Iesu. ²² So then as concernynge the conuersacion in tyme past laye from you that olde man which marreth himselfe thorow disceauable lustes:

²⁸ He that hath stollen, let him steale nomore: but let him laboure rather, and do some good with his hondes, that he maye haue to geue vnto him that nedeth.

³ As for whordome and all vnclennes, or couetousnes, let it not be named amoge you, as it becommeth sayntes: ⁴ nether fylthines, ner folish talkynge, ner ieastynge (which are not comly) but rather geuynge of thakes. ⁵ For be sure, that no whore monger, or vncleane person, or couetous person (which is a worshipper off ymages) hath inheritaunce in the kyngdome of Christ and of God.

⁸ For sometyme ye were darknesse, but now are ye lighte in the LORDE. Walke as the children of lighte.

²³ For the hussbande is the wyues heade, eue as Christ also is the heade of the congregacion, and he is the Sauioure of his body.

²⁶ to sanctifye it, and clensed it in the fountayne of water by the worde,

³⁰ For we are membres of his body, of his flesh and of his bones. ³¹ For this cause shal a man leaue father and mother, and cleue vnto his wife, and they two shal be one flesh:

²⁰ as I loke for and hope, that in nothinge I shalbe ashamed: but yt with all cofidence (as allwayes in tymes past, eue so now) Christ shalbe magnified in my body whether it be thorow life or thorow death.

⁵ Let the same mynde be in you, that was in Christ Iesu:

¹⁴ Do all thinges without murmurynges and disputinges, ¹⁵ that ye maye be fautles and pure, and the childre of God without rebuke, in the myddes of ye croked and peruerse nacion, amonge whom se that ye shyne as lightes in the worlde,

¹⁰ to knowe him and the vertue of his resurreccion, and the fellishippe of his passion, that I maye be conformable vnto his death, ¹¹ yff by eny meanes I mighte attayne to the resurreccion from the deed.

²¹ which shal chauge or vyle body, yt it maye be like fashioned vnto his glorious body, acordinge to ye workynge wherby he is able to subdue all thinges vnto himselfe.

¹⁹ and holdeth not himselfe to the heade, wherof the whole body by ioyntes and couples receaueth norishment, and is knyt together, and so groweth to the greatnes that commeth of God.

²² All these thinges do hurte vnto men, because of the abuse of them, which abuse commeth onely of the commaundementes and doctrynes of men: ²³ which thinges haue a shyne of wyssdome thorow chosen spiritualtie and humblenes, and in that they spare not the body, and do the flesh no worshipe vnto his nede.

⁵ Mortifye therfore youre mebres which are vpon earth, whordome, vnclennes, vnnaturall lust, euell concupiscece, and couetousnes, which is a worshippynge of Idols:

⁵ Mortifye therfore youre mebres which are vpon earth, whordome, vnclennes, vnnaturall lust, euell concupiscece, and couetousnes, which is a worshippynge of Idols: ⁶ for which thinges sakes the wrath of God commeth vpon the children of vnbeleue: ⁷ in the which thinges ye walked some tyme, whan ye lyued in them.

²⁵ But he that doth wronge, shal receaue for the wronge that he hath done, for there is no respecte of persons (with God.)

¹³ that yor hertes maye be stable and vnblameable in holynes before God oure father, at the commynge of oure LORDE Iesus Christ with all his sayntes.

³ For this is the will of God, euen youre sanctifienge, that ye shulde absteyne from whordome,

³ For this is the will of God, euen youre sanctifienge, that ye shulde absteyne from whordome, ⁴ yt euery one of you shulde knowe how to kepe his vessell in holynes and honoure, ⁵ & not in the lust of concupiscence, as the Heythen which knowe not God.

⁵ & not in the lust of concupiscence, as the Heythen which knowe not God. ⁶ And that no man go to farre, ner defraude his brother in bargayninge. For the LORDE is the auenger of all soch thinges, as we haue sayde & testified vnto you afore tyme.

⁶ And that no man go to farre, ner defraude his brother in bargayninge. For the LORDE is the auenger of all soch thinges, as we haue sayde & testified vnto you afore tyme. ⁷ For God hath not called vs to vnclennesse, but vnto holynes.

¹⁴ For yf we beleue that Iesus dyed and rose agayne, euen so the also which slepe by Iesus, shal God brynge with him.

¹⁵ Se that none recompence euell for euell vnto eny man: but euer folowe that which is good, both amoge youre selues and to all men.

¹³ But we are bounde to geue thankes allwaye vnto God for you, brethren be loued of the LORDE, because that God hath from the begynnynge chosen you to saluacion in the sanctifienge of the sprete and in beleuynge of the trueth,

⁹ Not but that we had auctorite, but to geue oure selues for an ensample vnto you to folowe vs.

⁹ vnderstodinge this, that the lawe is not geuen vnto the righteous, but to the vnrighteous & dishobedient, to the vngodly & to synners, to the vnholy & vncleane, to murthurers of fathers and murthurers of mothers, to manslayers, ¹⁰ to whoremongers, to the that defyle them selues with mankynde, to menstealers, to lyars, to periured, & so forth yf there be eny other thinge yt is cotrary to ye wholsome doctryne,

⁴ No ma that warreth, tangleth him selfe with wordly busynesses, & that because he wolde please him, which hath chosen him to be a soudyer.

²² Fle thou the lustes of youth, but folowe righteousnes, faith, loue, peace, with all them that call vpon the LORDE with pure hert.

¹⁰ For Demas hath lefte me, and loueth this present worlde, and is departed vnto Tessalonica, Crescens in to Galacia, Titus vnto Dalmacia,

¹⁴ which gaue him selfe for vs, to redeme vs fro all vnrighteousnes, and to pourge vs to be a peculiar people vnto himselfe, to be feruently geuen vnto good workes.

³ For we oure selues also were in tymes past, vnwyse, dishobedient, in erroure, seruynge lustes and dyuerse maners of voluptuousnes, lyuynge in maliciousnes and envye, full of hate, hatynge one another. ⁴ But after that ye kyndnesse and loue of God oure Sauioure to man warde appeared, ⁵ not for ye dedes of righteousnes which we wroughte, but after his mercy he saued vs by the fountayne of the new byrth, and renuynge of the holy goost, ⁶ which he shed on vs abundauntly, thorow Iesus Christ oure Sauioure: ⁷ yt we beynge made righteous by his grace, shulde be heyres of eternall life acordynge to hope.

¹¹ for so moch as they all come of one, both he that sanctifieth; & they which are sanctified.For the which causes sake, he is not ashamed to call them brethren,

¹² nether by the bloude of goates or calues: but by his owne bloude entred he once for all in to the holy place, and hath founde eternall redempcion.

²² let vs drawe nye with a true hert in a full faith, sprenkled in oure hertes from an euell conscience, and washed in oure bodies with pure water:

³¹ By faith the harlot Raab perished not with the vnbeleuers, wha she had receaued the spyes to lodginge peaceably.

¹⁴ Folowe after peace with all men, and holynes, without the which no man shal se the LORDE, ¹⁵ ad loke well, that no ma be destitute of the grace of God, lest there sprynge vp eny bytter rote, and cause disquyetnes, and therby many be defyled: ¹⁶ that there be no whoremonger, or vncleane person, as Esau, which for one meate sake solde his byrth righte.

¹⁶ that there be no whoremonger, or vncleane person, as Esau, which for one meate sake solde his byrth righte.

⁴ Let wedlocke be had in pryce in all poyntes, & let ye chamber be vndefyled. For whorekepers and aduouterers God wil iudge.

⁵ Yf eny of you lacke wyssdome, let him axe of God, which geueth to all men indifferentlie, and casteth no man in the teth: and it shal be geue him.

¹⁶ Erre not my deare brethre.

²¹ Was not Abraham oure father iustified thorow workes when he offered Isaac his sonne vpon the aulter? ²² Thou seist how yt faith wrought with his dedes, and through ye dedes was the faith made perfect: ²³ & the scripture was fulfilled which faith: Abraha beleued God and it was reputed vnto him for rightewesnes: and he was called ye frende of God. ²⁴ Ye se then how that of dedes a man is iustified, and not of faith only ²⁵ Likewise also was not Raab the harlot iustified thorow workes, when she receaued the messengers, and sent them out another waye? ²⁶ For as the body, with oute the sprete is deed, euen so faith wt out dedes is deed.

¹³ So can no fountayne geue bothe salt water and fresshe also. If eny man be wyse and endued with learnynge amonge you, let him shewe the workes of his good couersacion in meknes that is coupled with wissdome. ¹⁴ But yf ye haue bitter enuyenge and stryfe in yor hertes, reioyce not: nether be lyars agaynst the trueth. ¹⁵ This wissdome descendeth not from aboue: but is erthy, and naturall, and dyuelishe. ¹⁶ For where enuyenge and stryfe is, there is vnstablenes and all maner of euell workes. ¹⁷ But the wissdom that is fro aboue, is fyrst pure, the peasable, gentle, and easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good frutes, without iudgynge, and without simulacion: ¹⁸ yee, and the frute of rightewesnes is sowen in peace, of the that mayntene peace.

¹ From whence commeth warre and fightynge amonge you: come they not here hence? euen of yor volupteousnesses that rayne in youre mebres? ² Ye lust, and haue not. Ye envie and haue indignacion, and can not obtayne. Ye fight & warre, and haue not, because ye axe not. ³ Ye axe & receaue not because ye axe amysse: eue to cosume it vpo yor voluptuousnes.

⁴ Beholde, the hyre of the labourers which haue reped downe youre feldes (which hyer is of you kept backe by fraude) cryeth: and the cryes of the which haue reped, are entred in to the eares of the LORDE Sabaoth.

² acordinge to the foreknowlege of God the father thorow sanctifienge of the sprete, vnto obedience and sprenklynge of the bloude of Iesus Christ. Grace and peace be multiplied with you.

¹⁸ and knowe, that ye were not redemed wt corruptible syluer and golde, from youre vayne conuersacion (which ye receaued by the tradicios of the fathers)

²² Euen ye which haue purifyed youre soules in obeyenge the trueth thorow the sprete, for to loue brotherly without faynynge, & feruently one to loue another wt a pure hert,

⁵ And ye also as lyuynge stones are made a spirituall house, and an holy presthode, to offre vp spirituall sacrifices, acceptable vnto God by Iesus Christ.

⁹ But ye are that chosen generacion, that kyngly presthode, that holy nacion, that peculier people, yt ye shulde shewe the vertues of him, which hath called you out of darknesse in to his maruelous lighte:

¹¹ Dearly beloued, I beseke you as straungers and pilgrems, absteyne fro the fleshly lustes, which fighte agaynst the soule,

¹⁹ For that is grace, yf a man for conscience towarde God endure grefe, and suffre wronge. ²⁰ For what prayse is it, yf wha ye be buffeted for yor fautes, ye take it paciently? But yf whan ye do well, ye suffre wronge, and take it paciently, that is grace with God. ²¹ For here vnto are ye called, for so moch as Christ also suffred for vs, leauynge vs an ensample, that ye shulde folowe his fotesteppes, ²² which dyd no synne, nether was there gyle founde in his mouth: ²³ which whan he was reuyled, reuyled not agayne: wha he suffred, he threatened not: but commytted the cause vnto him, that iudgeth righteously:

⁹ Recopence not euell for euell, nether rebuke for rebuke: but cotrary wyse, blesse: and knowe that ye are called therto, euen yt ye shulde be heyres of ye blessynge.

²¹ Which signifieth baptyme yt now saueth vs: not ye puttinge awaye of the fylth of the flesh, but in yt a good cosciece cosenteth vnto God by ye resurreccion of Iesus Christ,

² yt hece forth (as moch tyme as yet remayneth in ye flesh) he shulde not lyue after the lustes of me, but after the wil of God. ³ For it is ynough, yt we haue spent ye tyme past of the life, after the will of ye Heythen, wha we walked in wantannesse, lustes, dronkenes, glotony, ryotous drynkynge, & i abhominable Idolatrye.

¹⁵ But se that none of you suffre as a murthurer, or as a thefe, or as an euell doer, or as a busy body in other mens matters.

¹ Bvt there were false prophetes also amonge the people, euen as there shalbe false teachers amonge you likewyse, which preuely shal brynge in damnable sectes, euen denyenge the LORDE that hath boughte them, and shal brynge vpon them selues swift damnacion:

⁴ For yf God spared not the angels that synned, but cast them downe with the cheynes of darknes in to hell, and delyuered the ouer to be kepte vnto iudgment:

⁹ He that sayeth he is in lighte, and hateth his brother, is yet in darknesse. ¹⁰ He yt loueth his brother, abydeth in the lighte, and there is none occasion of euell in him. ¹¹ But he yt hateth his brother, is in darknes, and walketh in darknes, and can not tell whither he goeth, for ye darknes hath blynded his eyes.

¹⁶ for all that is in the worlde (namely the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pryde of life) is not of the father, but of the worlde. ¹⁷ And the worlde passeth awaye and the lust therof. But he that fulfylleth the wyll of God, abydeth for euer.

¹¹ For this is the tydinges which ye haue herde from the begynnynge, that ye shulde loue one another, ¹² not as Cain, which was of the wicked, and slewe his brother. And wherfore slewe he him? euen because his awne workes were euell, and his brothers righteous. ¹³ Maruayle not (my brethren) though the worlde hate you. ¹⁴ We knowe yt we are traslated from death vnto life, because we loue the brethren. He that loueth not his brother, abydeth in death. ¹⁵ Who soeuer hateth his brother, is a mansleyer. And ye knowe that a mansleyer hath not eternall life abydinge in him.

⁶ The angels also which kept not their first estate: but lefte their awne habitacion, he hath reserued in euerlastinge chaynes vnder darcknes vnto the iudgement of the greate daye:

¹² These are spottes which of youre kindnes feast togedder, without feare, fedynge the selues. Cloudes they are withouten water, caried about of wyndes, and trees without frute at gadringe tyme, twyse deed and plucked vp by the rotes.

¹⁴ Enoch the seuenth from Adam prophecied before of suche, saienge: Beholde, the LORDE shal come with thousandes of sayntes, ¹⁵ to geue iudgemet agaynst all men, and to rebuke all that are vngodly amonge the, of all their vngodly dedes, which they haue vngodly committed, and of all their cruell speakynges, which vngodly synners haue spoken agaynst him.

⁵ and from Iesus Christ which is a faithfull witnes, and first begotten of the deed: & LORDE ouer ye kinges of the earth. Vnto him that loued vs and wesshed vs fro synnes in his awne bloud,

²⁶ and whosoeuer ouercometh and kepeth my workes vnto ye ende, to him wil I geue power ouer nacions, ²⁷ and he shal rule them with a rodde of yron: and as the vessels of a potter, shal he breake them to sheuers. Eue as I receaued of my father,

²¹ To him that ouercomth, will I graute to sytt with me on my seate, eue as I ouercam and haue sytte with my father on his seate.

⁹ and they songe a newe songe saynge: thou art worthy to take the boke & to ope the seales therof: for thou wast kylled, and hast redemed vs by thy bloud, out of all kynreddes, and toges, and people, and nacions,

¹⁴ And I sayde vnto him: LORDE thou wotest. And he sayde vnto me: these are they which cam out of gret tribulacion, and made their garmentes large, and made the whyte in the bloude of the lambe:

⁴ And I sawe seates, and they sat vpon them, and the iudgement was geuen vnto them: and I sawe the soules of them that were beheaded for the witnes of Iesu, and for the worde of God: which had not worshipped the beest, nether his ymage, nether had taken his marke vpon their forheades, or on their hondes: and they lyued, and raygned with Christ a thousand yeare:

⁸ But the fearefull and vnbeleuynge, and the abhominable, and murthurers, and whormongers, and sorcerers, and ydolaters, & all lyars, shal haue their parte in the lake, that burneth with fyre and brymstone, which is the seconde death.

¹⁵ For without are dogges and inchaunters and whormongers, and mortherers, and ydolaters, and whosoeuer loueth or maketh lesinges.
