⁴ Whatsoeuer thinges are written afore tyme, they are written for our learnynge, that we thorow pacience and comforte of the scriptures, myght haue hope.

¹⁴ I my selfe am full certifyed of you (my brethren) that ye also are full of goodnes, & fylled with all knowledge, willinge to exhorte one another.

⁷ For who preferreth the? What hast thou, that thou hast not receaued? If thou haue receaued it, why reioysest thou, as though thou haddest not receaued it? ⁸ Nowe ye are full: nowe ye are made ryche: ye raygne as kinges without vs: and I wolde to God ye dyd raygne, that we myght raygne with you. ⁹ For me thynketh, that God hath set forth vs (which are the last Apostles) as it were men appoynted to deeth. For we are a gasynge stocke vnto the worlde, and to the Angels, and to men. ¹⁰ We are fooles for Christes sake, but ye are wyse thorowe Chryst. We weake, but ye are stronge. Ye are honorable, but we are despysed.

¹¹ And so thorow thy knowledge shall the weake brother perysshe, for whom Christ dyed.

⁸ For to one is geuen thorow the spirite the vtteraunce of wisdome. To another is geuen the vttraunce of knowledge by the same sprete.

¹⁰ To another power to do miracles. To another prophesye. To another iudgement to discerne spretes. To another diuers tonges. To another the interpretacyon of tonges:

² And though I coulde prophesy, and vnderstode all secretes, and all knowledge: yee yf I haue all fayth, so that I can moue mountayns oute of their places, and yet haue no loue, I am nothynge.

⁸ Though that prophesyinges fayle, other tonges cease, or knowledge vanysshe awaye, yet loue falleth neuer awaye.

⁵ I wolde that ye all spake with tonges: but rather that ye prophesied. For greater is he that prophesyeth, then he that speaketh with tonges, except he expounde it: that the congregacion maye haue edifying. ⁶ Now brethren, yf I come vnto you speakynge with tonges: what shall I profet you, excepte I speake to you, other by reuelacyon or by knowledge, or by prophesyinge, or by doctryne?

²⁶ How is it then brethren? As oft as ye come together, euery one of you hath a songe, hath a doctrine, hath a tonge, hath a reuelacyon, hath an interpretacyon. Let all thinges be done vnto edifyinge:

⁶ For it is God, that commaunded the lyght to shyne out of darcknes, which hath shyned in oure hertes, for to geue the lyght of the knowledge of the glory of God, in the face of Iesus Christ.

⁷ Nowe therfore, as ye are riche in all parties, in fayth, in worde, in knowledge, in all feruentnes, and in loue, which ye haue to vs: euen so, se that ye be plenteous in thys beniuolence also.

¹¹ that on all partes, ye maye be made ryche into all synglenes, which causeth thorowe vs, that thankes are geuen vnto God.

¹⁷ that the God of oure Lorde Iesus Chryst, the father of glory, maye geue vnto you the sprete of wysdome and reuelacyon, by the knowledge of him selfe,

⁷ That in tymes to come he myght shewe the exceadynge, ryches of hys grace, in kyndnes to vs warde thorowe Chryst Iesu.

⁸ Unto me the least of all saynctes is this grace geuen, that I shulde preache amonge the Gentyls the vnsearcheable riches of Christ

¹⁹ and for me, that vtteraunce maye be geuen vnto me that I maye open my mouth frely, to vtter the secretes of my Gospell

⁹ And thys I praye, that youre loue maye increase yet more and more in knowledge, and in all vnderstandynge,

⁹ For this cause we also, sence that daye we herde of it, haue not ceasyd to praye for you, and to desyre, that ye myght be fulfylled with the knowledge of hys wyll, in all wysdome and spretuall vnderstandynge, ¹⁰ that ye myght walke worthy of the Lorde that in all thinges ye maye please beynge frutefull in all good workes, and encreasynge in the knowledge of God,

³ in whom are hyd all the treasures of wysdome and knowledge.

¹⁰ and haue put on the newe man which is renued into the knowledge & ymage of him that made hym,

³ prayenge also for vs that God maye open vnto vs the dore of vtteraunce, that we maye speake the mystery of Christ (wherfore I am also in bondes) ⁴ that I maye vtter it, as it becommeth me to speake.

¹³ So can no fountayne geue bothe salt water & fresshe also. Yf eny man be wyse & endued wt knowledge amonge you, let hym shewe his workes out of good conuersacion with mekenes of wysdome.

¹⁸ but growe in grace, & in the knowledge of oure Lorde and sauyoure Iesus Christ. To whom be glory both now and for euer. Amen.

²⁰ And they went forth, and preached euery where: the Lorde workyng with them and confyrmyng the worde with myracles folowing.

¹⁷ For asmoch then as God gaue them lyke gyftes, as he dyd vnto vs, when we beleued on the Lord Iesus Chryst: what was I, that I shulde haue withstande God?

²¹ And the hande of the Lorde was with them, & a greate nombre beleued and turned vnto the Lorde.

⁵ When Silas, and Timotheus were come from Macedonia, Paul was constrayned by the sprete, to testyfye to the Iewes that Iesus was very Chryst.

²¹ witnessynge both to the Iewes, & also to the Grekes, the repentaunce, that is toward God, & the fayth which is toward oure Lorde Iesus.

²⁴ But none of these thinges moue me nether is my lyfe deare vnto my selfe, that I might fulfyll my course with ioye, and the ministracyon which I haue receaued of the Lorde Iesu, to testifye the Gospell of the grace of God.

¹⁸ and sawe hym, sayinge vnto me: Make haste, and get the quyckly oute of Ierusalem: for they wyll not receaue thy wytnesse, that thou bearest of me

¹¹ The nyght folowynge, God stode by hym, and sayde: be of good cheare Paul: for as thou hast testifyed of me in Ierusalem so must thou beare wytnesse also at Rome.

²³ And when they had appoynted him a daye, ther came many to hym into hys lodgyng. To whom he expounded and testifyed the kyngdom of God and preached vnto them of Iesus: both out of the lawe of Moses and out of the Prophetes, euen from morninge to nyght.

¹⁹ in myghty sygnes & wonders, by the power of the sprete of God: so that from Ierusalem & the coastes rounde aboute vnto Illyrycum, I haue fylled all countres with the Gospell of Christ.

¹ And I brethren (when I came to you) came not in gloriousnes of wordes, or of wysdome, shewynge vnto you the testimony of God. ² Nether shewed I my selfe that I knewe eny thynge amonge you, saue Iesus Christ, euen the same that was crucifyed.

⁵ Moreouer, he that minystreth to you the sprete, and worketh myracles amonge you, doeth he it thorowe the dedes of the lawe, or by preachyng of the fayth?

¹⁰ when he shall come to be glorifyed in his saynctes, and to be come maruelous in all them that beleue: because oure testimonie that we had to you, was beleued euen the same daye.

⁶ whych gaue him selfe a raunsome for all men, that it shulde be testifyed at hys tyme,

⁸ Be not thou therfore ashamed of the testimony of oure Lorde, nether be ashamed of me whych am his presoner: but suffre thou aduersytie with the Gospell, accordynge to the power of God,

³ howe shall we escape, yf we despyse so great saluacyon, which at the fyrst began to be preached of the Lorde hym selfe, and was confirmed vnto vs warde, by them that hearde it? ⁴ God bearynge wytnes therto, both with sygnes & wonders also & with diuers myracles, & gyftes of the holy gooste, accordynge to hys awne wyll.

¹¹ because he beleued not the recorde that God gaue of hys sonne. And this is that recorde, how that God hath geuen vnto vs eternall lyfe, & this lyfe is in hys sonne. ¹² He that hath the sonne hath lyfe: & he that hath not the sonne of God, hath not lyfe. ¹³ These thynges haue I wrytten vnto you that beleue on the name of the sonne of God, that ye maye knowe, how that ye haue eternall lyfe, & that ye maye beleue on the name of the sonne of God.

² which bare recorde of the worde of God, and of the testymony of Iesus Christ, and of all thynges that he sawe.

⁹ I Iohn youre brother, and companion in tribulacion, and in the kyngdome & pacience in Iesu Christ, was in the yle that is called Pathmos, for the worde of God, and for the witnessing of Iesu Christ:

⁹ And when he had opened the fyft seale, I saw vnder the aultre the soules of them that were kylled for the worde of God, & for the testymony whych they had,

¹¹ And they ouercame him by the bloude of the lambe, and by the worde of their testimony, & they loued not their lyues vnto the deeth.

¹⁷ And the dragon was wroth wyth the woman: and went, & made warre wyth the remnaunt of hyr sede, which kepe the commaundementes of God, and haue the testimony of Iesus Christe. And he stode on the see sande.

¹⁰ And I fell at his fete, to worshippe him. And he sayde vnto me: se thou do it not. For I am thy felow seruaunt, & one of thy brethren, euen of them that haue the testimony of Iesus. Worshyppe God. For the testimony of Iesus is the sprete of prophesy.

¹⁸ after thy saluacyon haue I loked (o Lorde.)

¹ Then shall the kyngdom of heauen be like vnto ten virgins, which toke their lampes, & went to mete the brydgrome

³⁶ and ye youre selues lyke vnto men that wayte for theyr Lorde, when he will returne from the weddinge: that whan he commeth and knocketh they maye open vnto him immediatly.

³⁰ Euen thus, shall it be in the daye, when the sonne of man shall appere.

¹⁹ For the feruent desyre of the creature abydeth, lokyng, when the sonnes of God shall appere,

⁵ Therfore iudge nothinge before the tyme vntyll the Lorde come, whych wyll lyghten thinges that are hyd in darcknes, and open the counsels of the hertes. And then shall euery man haue prayse of God.

¹³ yet the tokens of an apostle were wrought amonge you with all pacyence, and signes and wonders, and myghty dedes.

²⁰ But oure conuersacyon is in heauen, from whence we loke for the saueoure, euen the Lorde Iesus Chryst,

⁴ Whensoeuer Chryst (which is oure lyfe) shall shewe hym selfe, then shall ye also appeare with hym in glory.

¹⁰ and for to loke for hys sonne from heauen, whom he raysed from deeth: euen Iesus, whych delyuereth vs from the wrath to come.

⁷ and to you whych are troubled, rest wyth vs, when the Lorde Iesus shall shewe hym selfe from heauen with the Angels of hys power,

¹⁴ that thou kepe the commaundement, & be without spotte and vnrebukeable, vntyll the appearynge of oure Lorde Iesus Christ, ¹⁵ which appearyng (in hys tyme) he shall shewe, that is blessed & myghty onely, kynge of kynges, & Lorde of Lordes,

⁸ From hence forth ther is layde vp for me a crowne of ryghtewesnes, which the Lorde (that is a ryghteous iudge) shall geue me at that daye: not to me onely, but vnto all them also that loue his comminge.

¹³ lokynge for the blessed hope & appearinge of the glory of the greate God, & of oure sauioure Iesu Christ,

²⁸ euen so Christ was once offered, to take awaye the sinnes of many, & vnto them that loke for hym shall he appeare agayne without synne vnto saluacyon.

³⁶ For ye haue nede of pacyence, that after ye haue done the wyll of God, ye myght receaue the promes. ³⁷ For yet a very lytell whyle, & he that shall come wyll come, & wyll not tary.

⁷ Be pacient therfore brethren, vnto the commynge of the Lord. Beholde, the husbande man wayteth for the precyous frute of the earth, & hath longe pacience ther vpon, vntyll he receaue the early & the latter rayne. ⁸ Be ye also pacient therfore, and settle youre hertes, for the commynge of the Lorde draweth nye.

¹³ Wherfore gyrde vp the loynes of youre mynde, be sober, & trust perfectly on the grace that is brought vnto you (by the declaryng of Iesus Chryst)

¹³ but reioyce, in as moch as ye are partakers of Christes passyons: that when hys glory appeareth, ye maye be mery and glad.

⁴ And when the chefe sheperd shall appeare; yee shal receaue, an incorruptibile crowne of glorie.

¹² lokyng for, and hastinge vnto the commynge of the daye of God, by whom the heauens shall perisshe with fyre, & the elementes shall melt with heate?

² Dearely beloued, now are we the sonnes of God & yet it doth not appeare, what we shalbe. But we knowe, that when it shall appeare, we shalbe lyke him. For we shall se hym as he is.

²¹ and kepe your selues in the loue of God, lokynge for the mercy of oure Lord Iesus Christ, vnto eternall lyfe.

¹⁷ For the armes of the vngodly shalbe broken, and the Lorde vpholdeth the ryghtuous.

²⁸ For the Lorde loueth the thynge that is ryght, he forsaketh not hys that be godly, but they are preserued for euermore:

²⁴ for as the lyghtenynge that apereth out of the one parte that is vnder heauen, & shyneth vnto the other parte which is vnder heauen, so shall the sonne of man be in hys dayes.

⁴ What art thou that iudgest another mannes seruaunt whether he stande or fall that pertayneth vnto hys awne master: ye, he shall be holden vp, that he maye stande. For God is able to make hym stande.

²⁵ To him that is of power to stablisshe you, according to my Gospell, & preaching of Iesus Christ in vtterynge of the mistery whych was kept secret sence the worlde beganne,

⁵ to delyuer hym vnto Satan, for the destruccyon of the flesshe, that the sprete maye be saued in the daye of the Lorde Iesus.

¹⁴ for we are youre reioysinge, euen as ye are oures in the daye of the Lord Iesus.

²¹ For it is God, which stablyssheth vs with you in Christ and stondeth by vs, and hath annoynted vs,

²⁷ to make it vnto him selfe a gloryous congregacyon, without spot or wrynckle, or eny soche thynge: but that it shulde be holy, and without blame.

⁶ and am suerly certyfyed of thys, that he, which hath begonne a good worke in you, shall perfourme it vntyll the daye of Iesus Chryst,

¹⁰ that ye maye accepte the thynges that are most excellent, that ye maye be pure, and soche, as offende no man vntyll the daye of Christ:

¹⁵ that ye maye be soche as no man came complayne on: and vnfayned sonnes of God without rebuke, in the myddes of a croked and peruerse nacyon: amonge whom se that ye shyne as lyghtes in the worlde, ¹⁶ holdynge faste the worde of lyfe, that I maye reioyce in the daye of Chryst, howe that I haue not runne in vayne, nether haue laboured in vayne.

²² in the body of hys flesshe thorowe deeth, to make you holy, and vnblameable, & without faut in hys awne syght,

¹³ that he maye make youre hertes stable & vnblameable, in holynes before God oure father, at the commynge of oure Lorde Iesus Christ with all saynctes.

²³ The very God of peace sanctifye you thorowe out. And I praye God that youre whole sprete, and soule and body, maye be preserued: so that in nothyng ye maye be blamed in the commynge of oure Lorde Iesus Chryst. ²⁴ Faythfull is he whych called you, which wyll also do it.

³ but the Lord is faythfull, whych shall stablysshe you, and preserue you from euyll.

¹⁰ But the God of all grace whych hath called vs vnto hys eternall glory by Christ Iesus, shall hys awne selfe (after that ye haue suffred a lytell affliccyon) make you perfect: settle, strength and stablisshe you.

¹⁰ Neuerthelesse the daye of the Lord wyll come as a thefe in the nyghte, in the which daye, the heauens shall passe awaye in maner of a tempest, and the elementes shal melt with heat: the erth also & the workes that are therin, shall burne.

¹⁴ Wherfore dearly beloued, seynge that ye loke for such thinges, be diligent that ye maye be founde of hym in peace, wythout spotte and vndefyled.

²⁴ Unto him that is able to kepe you fre from synne, & to present you fautlesse before the presence of his glory wt ioye ²⁵ to God oure sauyour: which onely is wyse be glory, maiestye, dominion, and power, now and euer. Amen.

¹⁹ God is not a man that he shulde lye, nether the sonne of a man that he shulde repent: shulde he saye, and not doo? or shulde he speake, and not make it good?

⁹ Understande therfore, that the Lorde thy God he his God, & that a true God whych kepeth poyntment and mercy vnto them that loue hym & kepe his commaundementes, euen thorowe out a thousande generacyons:

⁴ Perfecte is the worke of the most myghtye God: for all hys wayes are iudgement. He is a God of trueth, without wickednesse: ryghteous, and iust is he.

³³ I wyll vyset theyr offences with the rod and theyr synne wyth scourges. ³⁴ Neuerthelesse, my louynge kyndnesse will I not vtterly take from hym, ner suffre my trueth to fayle. ³⁵ My couenaunt wyll I not breake, nor alter the thinge that is gone out of my lyppes.

⁵ For the Lorde is gracyous, hys mercy is euerlastynge, and his treuth endureth from generacion to generacion.

⁵ Ryghteousnesse shalbe the gyrdle of his loynes, trueth & faythfulnesse, the gyrdynge vp of hys raynes.

¹ Thou arte the Lorde my God, I wyll magnifye the, I wyll geue thankes vnto thy name. For thou hast brought wonderfull thinges to passe, according to thyne olde councels truly & faythfully.

⁷ Moreouer, thus sayth the Lorde the auenger and holy one of Israel: because of the abhorringe and despysinge amonge the Gentiles, concerning the seruaunt of all them that beare rule. Kynges and princes shall se, and aryse and worshyp, because of the Lord that is faythfull: & because of the holy one of Israel, which hath chosen the.

²² Namely, it is of the Lordes mercyes that we are not, vtterly consumed. For trulye hys pytefull compassion hath not ceassed. ²³ Newe mercyes shall the Lorde shewe vpon the, erly, yee in the daye sprynge, (O Lorde) greate is thy faythfulnesse.

³⁵ Heauen & earth shall passe, but my wordes shall not passe.

⁴ Byde in me, and I in you. As the braunche cannot beare frute of it selfe, excepte it byde in the vyne: nomore can ye, except ye abyde in me. ⁵ I am the vyne, ye are the braunches. He that abydeth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth moche frute. For without me can ye do nothing.

²¹ that they al maye be one, as thou father art in me, and I in the, and that they also maye be one in vs: that the worlde maye beleue, that thou hast sent me:

²⁸ We knowe that all thynhes worke for the best vnto them that loue God, which also are called of purpose.

³⁰ Moreouer, whom he appoynted before, them also he called. And whom he hath called, them also he iustyfyed: and whom he iustyfyed, them he also gloryfyed.

²⁴ whom also he called, not of the Iewes onely, but also of the gentyls.

¹⁷ Though some of the braunches be broken of, and thou beynge a wylde olyue tree, wast graft in among them, and made partaker of the rote and fatnes of the olyue tree,

¹³ Ther hath none other temptacyon taken you, but soche as foloweth the nature of man. But God is faythfull whych shall not suffer you to be tempted aboue youre strength: but shall in the myddes of the temptacyon make awaye, that ye maye be able to beare it.

¹⁶ Is not the cupp of blessynge which we blesse, partakynge of the bloude of Christ?

¹⁸ God is faythfull: For oure preachyng to you, was not yee & naye.

¹⁵ But when it pleased God, which seperated me from my mothers wombe, and called me here unto by hys grace,

²⁰ I am crucified wt Christ. Neuertheles I lyue: yet nowe not I, but Christ lyueth in me. The lyfe which I nowe lyue in the flesshe, I lyue by the fayth of the sonne of God which loued me, and gaue hym selfe for me.

²⁰ and are buylt vpon the foundacyon of the Apostles and Prophetes, Iesus Chryst him selfe beynge the heed corner stone, ²¹ in whom what buyldynge soeuer is coupled together, it groweth vnto an holy temple in the Lorde, ²² in whom ye also are buylt together, to be an habitacion of God thorowe the ghost.

⁶ that the Gentyls shulde be inheritours also, and of the same body, and partetakers of hys promes in Christ, by the meanes of the Gospell,

²⁴ Nowe ioye I in my sufferinges for you and fulfyll that which is behynde of the passyons of Christ in my flesshe, for hys bodies sake, which is the congregacyon:

¹² that ye wolde walke worthy of God, whych hath called you vnto his kyngdome and glorye.

¹⁴ wher vnto he called you by oure Gospell, to obtayne the glorye of oure Lord Iesu Christ.

² in the hope of eternall lyfe, which God (that cannot lye) promysed before the worlde beganne:

¹⁷ Wherfore, in all thynges it became hym to be made lyke vnto his brethren, that he myght be mercyfull, and a faythfull hye Preste in thynges concernynge God, for to pourge the peoples synnes.

¹ Therfore holy brethren, partakers of the celestiall callynge consyder the ambassadour and hye preste of oure professyon Christ Iesus,

¹⁴ We are made partetakers of Christ, yf we kepe sure (vnto the ende) the begynnynge of the substance,

¹⁸ that by two immutable thynges (in whych it was vnpossible that God shulde lye) we myght haue a stronge consolacyon, which hitherto haue fled, for to holde fast the hope that is set before vs,

²³ let vs kepe the profession of our hope, wt out waueryng (for he is faithfull that promysed)

¹¹ Thorow fayth Sara also receaued strength to conceaue and be with chylde, and was delyuered of a childe when she was past age, because she iudged him faythful which had promysed.

³ That which we haue sene & herde, declare we vnto you, that ye also maye haue fellowshyppe with vs, and that oure felloushyppe maye be wyth the father and his sonne Iesus Christ.

⁷ But & yf we walke in lyght euen as he is in lyght, then haue we fellishippe wt him, and the bloude of Iesus Christ his sonne clenseth vs from all synne.

¹³ Herby knowe we that we dwell in hym, and he in vs: because he hath geuen vs of hys sprete.

¹¹ And I sawe heauen open, & behold, a whyte horsse: & he that sat vpon him was called faythfull & true, & in rightewesnes he doth iudge & make battayle.

¹ A songe of the stayres of Dauid: Beholde, howe good and ioyfull a thing it is, brethren to dwell together in vnitye. It is lyke the precyous oyntement vpon the heade, that ranne downe vnto the beerd: euen vnto Aarons beerd, and wente downe to the skyrtes of hys clothynge.

³⁹ And I wyll geue them one hert and one waye, that they maye feare me all the daies of their lyfe, that they and their chyldren after them maye prospere.

¹⁶ No man putteth a pece of new cloth in an olde garment. For then taketh he awaye the pece from the garment, and the rent is made worse.

²¹ No man also soweth a pece of new cloth vnto an olde garment, els taketh he awaye the new pece therof from the olde, & so is the rent worse.

⁴³ So was ther dissencion amonge the people because of him.

¹⁶ Therfore sayd some of the pharises: thys man is not of God, because he kepeth not the Saboth daye. Other sayde: howe can a man that is a synner, do such myracles? And ther was a stryfe amonge them.

¹⁹ There was a dissencyon therfore agayne amonge the Iewes for these sayinges,

³⁴ A newe commaundement geue I vnto you, that ye loue together, as I haue loued you, that euen so ye loue one another. ³⁵ By this shall all men knowe that ye are my discyples, yf ye haue loue one to another.

²³ I in them, and thou in me, that they maye be made parfecte in one, & that the worlde maye knowe, that thou hast sent me, and hast loued them as thou hast loued me.

³² And the multitude of them that beleued, were of one hert, & of one soule. Neyther sayde anye of them, that ought of the thynges which he possessed, was hys awne: but they had all thinges commen.

¹ I beseche you therfore brethren, by the mercyfulnes of God, that ye make yor bodies a quycke sacryfice, holy & acceptable vnto God: which is youre resonable seruynge of God

¹⁶ Be of lyke affeccion one towardes another. Be not hye mynded: but make youre selues equall to them of the lower sorte. Be not wyse in youre awne opynyons.

⁵ The God of pacyence and consolacyon, graunt you, to be lyke mynded one towardes another, after the ensample of Chryst Iesu: ⁶ that ye all agreynge together maye wyth one mouth prayse God the father of oure Lorde Iesus Chryst.

³⁰ I beseche you brethren for oure Lord Iesus Christes sake, and for the loue of the sprete, that ye helpe me in my busynes with youre prayers to God for me,

¹⁷ I beseche you brethren, marke them which cause diuisyon & geue occasions of euyll, contrary to the doctrine, which ye haue learned: & auoyde them.

¹⁶ Wherfore, I desyre you to folowe me.

¹⁸ For fyrst of all when ye come together in the congregacion, I heare that there is dyssencyon amonge you: and I partely beleue it.

²⁵ lest there shulde be eny stryfe in the body: but that the membres shuld indifferently care one for another. And yf one member suffer, all suffer with him.

²⁰ Now then are we messengers in the rowme of Christ euen as though God dyd beseche you thorow vs. So praye we you in Christes stede, that ye be reconcyled vnto God:

¹ We also as helpers exhorte you that ye receaue not the grace of God in vayne.

¹ I Paul my selfe beseche you by the mekenesse & softenesse of Christ, which whan I am present amonge you, am of no reputacyon: but am bolde towarde you beynge absent.

¹¹ Finallye brethren, fare ye well, be parfect, be of good conforte, be of one mynde, lyue in peace, and the God of loue and peace shalbe with you.

¹² Brethren, I besech you, be ye as I am: for I am as ye are. Ye haue not hurt me at all.

¹ I therfore (which am a presonner of the Lordes) exhorte you, that ye walke worthy of the vocacyon wherwith ye are called, ² with all lowlynes and mekenesse, with humblenes of mynde, forbearynge one another thorowe loue, ³ and be diligent to kepe the vnitie of the sprete thorowe the bonde of peace, ⁴ beynge one body, and one sprete, euen as ye are called in one hope of your callinge. ⁵ One Lorde, one fayth, one baptyme ⁶ one God and father of all, which is aboue all and thorowe all, and in you all. ⁷ Unto euery one of vs is geuen grace, accordynge to the measure of the gyfte of Chryst.

³¹ Let all bitternes & fearsnes & wrath & rorynge & cursyd speakynge, be put awaye from you, with all maliciousnes. ³² Be ye courteouse one to another, mercyfull, forgeuynge one another, euen as God for Christes sake hath forgeuen you.

²⁷ Onely let youre conuersacyon be, as it be commeth the Gospell of Christ: that whether I come & se you, or els be absent, I maye yet heare of youre condicyon, that ye contynue in one sprete, and in one soule, labourynge as we do, to mayntayne the fayth of the Gospell,

¹ If ther be therfore eny consolacyon in Christ, yf ther be eny comforte of loue, yf ther by eny fellishyppe of the sprete, yf ther be eny compassion and mercy: ² full fyll ye my ioye, that ye be lyke mynded, hauinge one loue, beynge of one accorde, and of one mynde, ³ that nothinge be done thorowe stryfe or of vayne glory, but in mekenes of mynde, let euery man esteme another better then hym selfe. ⁴ Loke not ye euery man on hys awne thinges, but euery man on the thinges that are other mens.

¹⁶ Neuerthelesse vnto that which we haue attayned vnto, lett vs proceade by one rule, that we maye be of one accorde.

¹ Furthermore, we beseche you (brethren) and exhorte you by the Lord Iesus, that ye increace more & more euen as ye haue receaued of vs, how ye ought to walcke and to please God. ² For ye knowe, what commaundementes we gaue you by oure Lorde Iesu Christ.

¹³ & geue you exhortacyon, that ye haue them in hye reputacyon thorowe loue, for theyr workes sake, and be at peace with them.

¹ We beseche you (brethren) by the commynge of oure Lorde Iesu Christ, and in that we shall assemble vnto hym,

²¹ I testifye before God and the Lord Iesus Christ & the electe angels, that thou obserue these thynges without hastynesse of iudgement, & do nothinge parcially.

¹ I Testifye therfore before God, & before the Lord Iesu Christ, which shall iudge the quicke and deed at hys apearinge in hys kyngdom,

⁹ yet for loues sake I rather beseche the, though I be as I am, euen olde Paul, & nowe a presoner of Iesu Christ. ¹⁰ I beseche the for my sonne Onesimus whom I haue begotten in my bondes,

¹³ So can no fountayne geue bothe salt water & fresshe also. Yf eny man be wyse & endued wt knowledge amonge you, let hym shewe his workes out of good conuersacion with mekenes of wysdome. ¹⁴ But yf ye haue bytter enuyeng & stryfe in your herte, reioyce not: nether be lyars agaynst the trueth: ¹⁵ For soch wysdome descendeth not from aboue: but is erthy, naturall, & diuelisshe. ¹⁶ For wher enuyeng & strife is, there is vnstablenes, & all manner of euyll workes. ¹⁷ But the wysdome that is from aboue, is first pure, then peasable, gentle, & easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good frutes, without iudging, without simulacion: ¹⁸ yee, & the frute of ryghtewesnes is sowen in peace, of them that mayntene peace.

¹¹ Dearly beloued, I beseche you as straungers and pylgrems, abstayne from fleshly lustes, which fyght against the soule,

⁸ In conclusyon, be ye all of one mynde, of one hart & loue as brethren, be petifull, be courteous ⁹ not rendrynge euyll for euyll, or rebuke for rebuke: but contrarywise, blesse: knowinge that ye are ther vnto called, euen that ye shulde be heyres of the blessynge.

⁴² And these wordes of Esau hyr eldest sonne were tolde to Rebecca. And she sent and called Iacob hyr yongest sonne, and sayde vnto hym: beholde thy brother Esau threatneth to kyll the:

² These are the generacyons of Iacob. when Ioseph was .xvij. yere olde, he kepte shepe wyth hys brethren, and the lad was with the sonnes of Bilha and with the sonnes of Zilpha his fathers wyues. And he brought vnto their father an euyll sayinge of them.

¹⁴ But one of the laddes tolde Abigail Nabals wyfe, saying: Beholde, Dauid sent messengers vnto oure master out of the wildernesse to salute him & he rayled on them. ¹⁵ And yet the men are very good vnto vs, & dyd vs no displeasure, nether missed we any thing, as long as we were conuersant with them, when we were in the feldes. ¹⁶ They were a wall of defence vnto vs both by nyght & daye, all the whyle we were with them keping shepe. ¹⁷ Now therfore, take hede, and se what thou hast to do, for there is an occasion of euell geuen agaynst oure master and all his housholde, seyng: he is as a sonne of beliall vngracious to speake to.

¹⁰ Amonge the proude there is euer stryfe, but amonge those that do all thynges with aduisement, there is wysdome.

⁶ A fooles lyppes are euer brawelynge, and his mouth prouoketh vnto battayll.

³ As longe verely as ther is amonge you enuyinge, & strife & sectes: are ye not carnall, & walke after the maner of men?

¹ Darre one of you hauynge busynes wyth another, go to lawe vnder the wycked, & not rather vnder the saynctes? ² Do ye not knowe, that the saynctes shall iudge the worlde? If the worlde shalbe iudged by you: are ye not good inough to iudge small trifles? ³ knowe ye not, howe that we shall iudge the angels? Howe moche more, maye we iudge thinges that pertayne to the lyfe? ⁴ If ye haue iudgementes of worldely matters, take then whych are despysed in the congregacyon, and make them iudges. ⁵ This I saye to youre shame. Is ther vtterly no wyse man amonge you? What not one at all, that can iudge betwene brother and brother, ⁶ but one brother goeth to lawe wt another: and that vnder the vnbeleuers? ⁷ Nowe therfore, there is vtterly a faute amonge you, because ye go to lawe one wyth another. Why rather suffer ye not wronge? why rather suffre ye not your selues to haue harme?

²⁰ Agayne, thynke you that we excuse our selues vnto you? we spake in Christ in the syght of of God: but we do all thinges (dearly beloued) for youre edifyinge.

¹⁵ If ye byte and deuoure one another: take hede, lest ye be lykewyse consumed one of another.

²⁰ worshypping of ymages, witchcraft, hatred, variaunce, zele, wrathe, stryfe, sedicyons, sectes,

²⁶ Let vs not be desirous of vayne glorye, prouokinge one another, enuying one another.

¹⁴ Do all thynge with out murmuringe, & dysputynge,

⁴ he is pufte vp, and knoweth nothynge: but wasteth hys braynes about questions and stryfe, of wordes, wherof sprynge enuye, stryfe, raylynges, euyll surmisynges,

²³ Folysshe and vnlearned questions put from the, knowinge, that they do but gendre stryfe. ²⁴ The seruaunt of the Lorde must not stryue: but be gentle vnto all men apte to teach, and one that can suffre ²⁵ the euyll with meaknes, and can informe them that resyst yf that God at eny tyme wyll geue them repentaunce, for to knowe the trueth:

¹ From whence commeth warre, and fyghtyng amonge you? come they not here hence? euen of youre lustes, that fight in your membres? ² Ye lust, and haue not. Ye enuye & haue indignacyon, & can not obtayne. Ye fight & warre. Ye haue not because ye aske not.

⁹ And call no man youre father vpon the erth, for one is your father which is in heauen ¹⁰ Nether be ye called masters, for one is youre master, euen Chryst.

⁴² and brought him to Iesus. And Iesus behelde hym, and sayde: thou art Simon the sonne of Ionas, thou shalt be called Cephas: which is by interpretacion a stone.

²⁴ And a certayne Iew named Apollos, borne at Alexandria, came to Ephesus, an eloquent man, and myghty in the scryptures

⁴ For whyle one sayth: I holde of Paul, & another: I am of Apollo, are ye not carnall? ⁵ What is Paul? What thynge is Apollo? Onely ministers are they by whom ye beleued, euen as the Lorde gaue euery man grace. ⁶ I haue planted, Apollo watred: but God gaue the encreace.

²¹ Therfore, let no man reioyce in men. For all thynges are youres, ²² whether it be Paul, ether Apollo, ether Cephas: whether it be the worlde, ether lyfe, ether deeth, whether they be present thynges, or thynges to come: all are youres: ²³ and ye are Chrystes, and Christ is Goddes.

⁶ These thynges (brethren) I haue for an ensample described in myne awne person, & in Apollos, for youre sakes, that ye myght learne by vs, that noman counte of hym selfe beyonde that which is aboue wrytten: that one swell not agaynst another for eny mans cause.

²⁹ This saye I brethren, the tyme is shorte. It remayneth, that they whych haue wyues, be as though they had none:

⁵ Haue we not power to leade about a woman a syster, as well as other Apostles, and as the brethren of the Lorde, and Cephas?

⁵ & that he was sene of Cephas, then of the twelue.

⁵⁰ This saye I brethren the flesshe & bloud cannot inheret the kyngdom of God. Nether doth corrupcyon inheret vncorrupcyon.

¹² To speake of brother Apollo I greatly desyred him, to come vnto you with the brethren, but his mynde was not at all to come at this tyme. Howbeit, he wyll come, when he shall haue conuenient tyme.

⁶ This yet I saye: he which soweth lytell, shal reape lytell: & he that soweth (in geuyng) largelye and frelye, shall reape plenteouslye:

⁹ When they perceaued the grace that was geuen vnto me, then Iames, Cephas and Iohn, which semed to be pyllers, gaue to me and Barnabas the ryght handes of that felowshyppe, that we shulde be Apostles among the Heythen, and they in the circumcisyon:

¹⁷ Thys I saye, that the lawe which beganne afterwarde, beyonge foure hundred and thyrtye yeares, doeth not disanull the testament, that was comfermed afore of God vnto Christ ward, to make the promes of one effecte.

¹⁹ Go ye therfore, & teach all nacions, baptising them in the name of the father, & of the sonne, & of the holy goost:

³⁸ Peter sayde vnto them: repent of youre synnes, and be baptysed euery one of you in the name of Iesus Chryst for the remission of synnes, and ye shall receaue the gyfte of the holy goost.

¹⁶ For as yet he was come on no one of them: but they were baptysed onely in the name of Christ Iesu.

⁴⁸ And he commaunded them to be baptysed in the name of the Lord. Then prayd they him, to tary a few dayes.

⁵ When they hearde thys, they were baptysed in the name of the Lorde Iesu.

⁹ For Christ therfore dyed, and rose agayne, and reuyued, that he myght be Lorde of deed and quycke.

¹⁵ lest eny shuld saye, that I had baptysed in myne awne name.

¹⁹ Ether knowe ye not, how that youre bodyes are the temple of the holy ghost, which dwelleth in you, whom ye haue of God, and how that ye are not youre awne? ²⁰ For ye are dearly bought. Therfore glorifye God in youre bodyes, and in youre spretes, which are Goddes.

² and were all baptysed vnder Moses in the cloude and in the see:

¹⁴ For the loue of Christ constrayneth vs, because we thus iudge, that yf one dyed for all, then were all deed, ¹⁵ and he dyed for all: that they whych lyue, shuld not hence forth lyue vnto them selues, but vnto him whych dyed for them, & rose agayne.

⁴ For yf he that commeth preache another Iesus then hym whom we preached: or yf ye receaue another sprete then that which ye haue receaued, ether another Gospell then that ye haue receaued, ye might right well haue bene content.

⁷ which is nothinge elles, but that there be some which trouble you, & intende to peruerte the Gospell of Christ.

⁵ One Lorde, one fayth, one baptyme

¹⁴ whych gaue him selfe for vs, to redeme vs from all vnryghtewesnes, and to pourge vs a peculyer people vnto hym selfe feruently geuen vnto good workes.

⁸ Howbeit, one Crispus the chefe ruler of the synagoge beleued on the Lorde with all his housholde, and many of the Corinthians whan they gaue audience, beleued, and were baptised.

²³ Gayus myne hoste & the hoste of all the congregacion, saluteth you. Erastus the treasorer of the cytie, saluteth you. And Quartus a brother saluteth you.

⁴ I thanke my God allwayes on youre behalfe, for the grace of God, whych is geuen you by Iesus Christ,

¹⁸ I thanke my God that I speake with tonges more then ye all.

¹⁴ Thankes be vnto God, which alwayes geueth vs the victorie in Christ, and openeth the sauer of his knowledge by vs in euery place.

²⁰ gyuynge thankes allwayes for all thynges, vnto God the father in the name of oure Lorde Iesus Chryst,

¹⁵ And the peace of God rule in youre hertes: to the which peace ye are called in one body. And se that ye be thankfull.

¹⁷ And whatsouer ye do (in worde or dede) do all in the name of the Lord Iesu, geuynge thankes to God the father by hym.

¹⁸ In all thynges geue thankes. For this is the wyll of God thorowe Christ Iesu towarde you.

¹² And I thanke Chryst Iesus oure Lorde, whych hath made me stronge: for he counted me true, and put me in offyce

⁴ I thanke my God, makynge mencyon all wayes of the in my prayers,

¹ The elder vnto the beloued Gayus whom I loue in the trueth. ² Beloued I wisshe in all thynges that thou prosperedest, and faredest well, euen as thy soule prospereth, ³ For I reioysed greatly, when the brethren came, and testifyed of the trueth that is in the, how thou walkest in the trueth. ⁴ I haue no greater ioye, then for to heare, how that my sonnes walke in veritye.

²⁸ Ye youre selues are witnesses how that I sayd: I am not Christ, but am sent before him: ²⁹ He that hath the bryde, is the brydegrome. But the frende of the brydegrome, whych standeth and heareth hym, reioyseth greatly because of the brydegromes voyce. This my ioye therfore is fulfilled.

¹⁸ He that speaketh of him selfe, seketh his awne prayse. But he that seketh hys prayse that sent him, the same is true, & no vnryghtewesnes is in him.

² For I am gelous ouer you wt godly gelousye: For I haue coupled you to one man, that ye shulde make your selues a chaste virgin vnto Christ.

¹⁵ When she was baptised, and her housholde, she besought vs, sayinge: If ye thyncke that I beleue on the Lorde, come into my house, and abyde there. And she constrayned vs.

³³ And he toke them the same houre of the nyght, & wasshed their woundes, and was baptised and all they of hys housholde strayght waye.

¹⁵ Brethren, ye knowe the house of Stephana how that they are the fyrst frutes of Achaia, and that they haue apoynted them selues to minister vnto the sainctes:

¹⁷ I am glad of the commynge of Stephana & Fortunatus and Achaicus: for that whych was lackinge vnto me on youre parte they haue supplied.

² (though that Iesus him selfe baptised not: but his disciples)

¹⁷ delyueringe the from the people, and from the gentyls, vnto whom now I sende the, ¹⁸ to open their eyes, that they maye be turned from darckness to light, and from the power of Satan vnto God, that they maye receaue forgeuenes of synnes, and inheritaunce amonge them whych are sanctified by fayth that is toward me.

¹ And I brethren (when I came to you) came not in gloriousnes of wordes, or of wysdome, shewynge vnto you the testimony of God.

⁴ And my wordes and my preachynge was not wt entysynge wordes of mannes wysdome: but in shewynge of the sprete and of power, ⁵ that your fayth shuld not stande in the wysdome of men, but in the power of God.

¹³ which thynges also we speake (not wt wordes that mannes wysdome teacheth, but wt wordes whych the holy ghost doth teache) makyng spirituall comparisons of spretuall thinges.

² but haue cast from vs the clokes of vnhonestye, and walke not in craftynes, nether handle we the worde of God disceatfully, but open the trueth, & reporte oure selues to euery mannes conscience in the syght of God

³ For though we walke in the flesshe, yet we do not warre flesshly. ⁴ For the weapens of oure warrefare are not carnall thynges, but thynges myghty in God, to cast downe stronge holdes,

¹⁰ For the epistles (sayth he) are sore, and stronge: but hys bodelye presence is weake, and hys speache rude.

⁶ But though I be rude in speakinge, yet I am not so in knowledge. Howbeit amonge you, we haue bene well knowen to the vtmost what we are in all thinges.

¹⁶ For we haue not folowed deceatfull fables, when we opened vnto you the power and commynge of oure Lorde Iesus Christ, but wyth our eyes we sawe his maiestie:

² The Lord shall sende the rodde of thy power out of Sion, be thou ruler euen in the myddest among thyne enemyes. ³ In the daye of thy power shall thy people offre the frewyll offrynges wt an holy worshippe, the dewe of thy byrth is of the wombe of the mornyng.

⁴⁷ praysinge God, and had fauour with all the people. And the Lorde added to the congregacion dayly, soch as shulde be saued.

⁴¹ Behold, ye despysers, and wonder, and peryssh ye: for I do a worke in youre dayes, which ye shall not beleue, though a man declare it you.

¹⁸ Certayne Philosophers of the Epicures and of the Stoyckes, disputed with hym. And some ther were which sayde: what will thys babler saye? Other sayde: he semeth to be a tydynges brynger of newe deuyls, because he preacheth vnto them Iesus & the resurreccion.

³² When they hearde of the resurreccion from deeth, some mocked, and other sayd: we wyll heare the agayne of thys matter.

¹⁶ For I am not asshamed of the Gospell of Chryst, because it is the power of God vnto saluacion to euery one that beleueth, to the Iewe fyrst, & also to the Gentyle.

²¹ Hath not God made the wysdome of this worlde foolishnes? For after that the worlde thorowe wysdome knewe not God, in the wysdome of God, it pleased God thorowe foolyshnes of preachynge, to saue them that beleue.

²³ But we preache Christ crucifyed, vnto the Iewes an occasyon of fallynge, and vnto the Grekes foolysihnes: ²⁴ but vnto them whych are called both of the Iewes & Grekes, we preache Christ the power of God and the wysdome of God. ²⁵ For the foolishnes of God, is wyser then men: and the weakenes of God is stronger then men.

² Nether shewed I my selfe that I knewe eny thynge amonge you, saue Iesus Christ, euen the same that was crucifyed.

¹⁴ The naturall man perceaueth not the thinges that belonge to the sprete of God. For they are but folyshnes vnto him. Nether can he perceaue them, because they are spretually examined.

¹⁹ For the wysdom of thys worlde is folyshnes with God. For it is wrytten: he compaseth the wyse in theyr craftynes.

² by the which also ye are saued: I do you to wit, after what maner I preached vnto you, yf ye kepe it, except ye haue beleued in vayne.

¹⁵ For we are vnto God the swete sauoure of Christ, amonge them that are saued, and amonge them which perysshe. ¹⁶ To the one parte are we the sauour of deeth vnto deeth. And vnto the other part are we the sauour of lyfe vnto lyfe. And who is mete vnto these thinges?

³ If oure Gospell be yet hyd, it is hyd amonge them that are lost,

⁴ For the weapens of oure warrefare are not carnall thynges, but thynges myghty in God, to cast downe stronge holdes,

¹² As many as desire with vtwarde apperaunce to please carnally, the same constrayne you to be circumcised, onely lest they shulde suffre persecutyon for the crosse of Christ. ¹³ For they them selues which are circumcysed, kepe not the lawe, but desyre to haue you circumcysed, that they myght reioyce in youre flesshe. ¹⁴ God forbyd that I shulde reioyce, but in the crosse of oure Lorde Iesu Christ, wherby the worlde is crucifyed vnto me, & I vnto the worlde.

⁵ For oure Gospel came not vnto you by worde onely, but also by power, and by the holy goost, and by moch certayntye, as ye knowe, after what maner we be haued oure selues amonge you, for your sake.

¹⁰ and with all deceauablenes of vnryghtwesnes, amonge them that perysshe: because they receaued not the loue of the trueth, that they myght be saued.

¹² For the worde of God is quycke, and myghty in operacion, and sharper then eny two edged swearde: & entreth through, euen vnto the diuidynge a sonder of the soule and the sprete, and of the ioyntes and the mary: and is a discerner of the thoughtes and of the intentes of the herte:

¹² He destroyeth the deuyces of the sotyll, so that their handes are not able to performe any stedfast thing. ¹³ He compaseth the wyse in their awne craftynes, and ouerthroweth the councell of the wycked.

³ The mynde also of Egipte shalbe cleane without councell within it selfe, & the deuyce that they take, wyll I destroye, so that they shall seke councell at ydols & at sorcerers, at workers with spretes & at sothsayers.

¹¹ But ye foolish prynces of Zoan, ye wyse councelours of Pharao, whose wit is turned to foolyshnes, how saye ye vnto Pharao: I am come of wyse men & of auncient kynges?

¹⁴ Therfore wyll I do maruayls amonge this people, euen maruelous thinges (I saye) & a wonder. For the wysdome of their wise men shall perysh, & the vnderstanding of their wittye men shall hyd it selfe.

⁹ therfore shall the wyse be confounded, they shalbe afrayed & taken: for lo, they haue cast out the worde of the Lorde: what wysdome can then be amonge them?

³¹ And one tolde Dauid sayenge: Ahithophel is one of them that haue conspired wyth Absalom. And Dauid sayde. O Lorde, turne the councell of Ahithophel into folyshenes.

²³ And the councell of Ahithophel which he counceled in those dayes, was as a man had asked councell of God: euen so was all the councell of Ahithophel, both wyth Dauid and wyth Absalom.

¹⁴ And Absalom and all the men of Israel sayde: the councell of Husai the Arachite is better, then the councell of Ahithophell. For it was euen the Lordes determinaycon to destroye the good councell of Ahithophel: that the Lorde myght brynge euell vpon Absalom.

²³ And when Ahithophel sawe, that his councell was not folowed, he sadelled his Asse, & arose, & gate hym home to hys awne house, and to hys awne cytie, and put hys housholde in order, and hanged him selfe, and dyed, and was buryed in the sepulchre of hys father.

¹⁷ He carieth awaye the wyse men, as it were a spoyle, and bryngeth the iudges oute of theyr wittes.

²⁰ He taketh the veryte from out of the mouth, and disapointeth the aged of theyr reason.

²⁴ He chaungeth the herte of them that rule the people of the earthe, and disapoynteth them: so that they go wandrynge out of the waye,

¹¹ But ye foolish prynces of Zoan, ye wyse councelours of Pharao, whose wit is turned to foolyshnes, how saye ye vnto Pharao: I am come of wyse men & of auncient kynges? ¹² Wher ar they? where are (I saye) thy wyse men? Let them tell the (yf they can) what the lord of hoostes hath deuysed vpon Egypte.

¹⁸ thine herte studied for feare thinkinge thus. What shall then become of the scribe? of the receyuer of our money? what of him that taxed our fairest houses?

²⁵ I destroye the tokens of witches, and make the Sothsaiers fooles. As for the wyse, I turne them backwarde, and make theyr connyng folyshnesse.

¹ But who hath geuen credence vnto the thynge we haue hearde? Or to whom is the arme of the Lord knowne?

²² When they counted them selues wyse, they became fooles

¹⁹ For it is wrytten: I will destroye the wysdome of the wyse, and wyll cast awaye the vnderstandynge of the prudent.

⁶ We speake of wysdome amonge them that are perfecte: not the wysdome of this world, nether of the rulars of this worlde (whych go to nought)

²⁰ Daniel also cried loude, & sayde: O that the name of God myght be praysed for euer and euer, for wysdome and strength are hys awne:

²⁵ At that tyme Iesus answered and sayde: I thanke the O father, Lord of heauen & erth, because thou hast hid these thinges from the wyse and prudent, and hast shewed them vnto babes,

²¹ That same houre reioysed Iesus in ghost, and sayd: I thanke the, O father. Lorde of heauen and earth, that thou hast hyd these thinges from the wyse and prudent, and hast opened them vnto babes. Euen so father, for so pleased it the.

²⁰ For hys inuisyble thinges (that is to saye hys eternall power ad godhed) are sene, for as moch as they are vnderstande by the workes from the creacyon of the worlde: So that they are wythout excuse ²¹ because that when they knewe God, they glorifyed hym not as God, nether were thankfull but wexed full of vanities in theyr imaginacions, and theyr folysh hert was blynded. ²² When they counted them selues wyse, they became fooles

²⁸ And as they regarded not to knowe God euen so God delyuered them vp vnto a lewde mynde, that they shulde do those thynges whych were not comly,

³³ O the depnes of the ryches both of the wysdome and knowledge of God: how vnsercheable are his iudgementes, & his wayes past fyndynge out;

²⁴ but vnto them whych are called both of the Iewes & Grekes, we preache Christ the power of God and the wysdome of God.

¹⁰ to the intent, that nowe vnto the rulers and powers in heauenly thinges, myght be knowen by the congregacion, the manyfolde wysdome of God,

³⁸ Then certayne of the Scribes and of the Pharises asked him saying. Master, we wyll se a sygne of the. ³⁹ But he answered and sayde to them. The euyll and aduouterous generacion seketh a signe and ther shall no sygne be geuen to them, but the signe of the Prophet Ionas.

¹ The Pharises also wt the Saduces, came and tempted him & desyred him that he wolde shewe them a sygne from heuen. ² He answered and sayde vnto them: whan it begynneth to drawe toward euen, ye saye, it wylbe fayre wether, for the skye is reed? ³ And in the mornynge: It wylbe foule wether to daye, for the skye is glowmyng reed. O ye ypocrites, ye can discerne the outward appearaunce of the skye: but can ye not discerne the sygnes of the tymes? ⁴ The frowarde & aduoutrous nacyon requyreth a sygne, and there shall no sygne be geuen vnto it, but the sygne of the Prophet Ionas. And he lefte them, and departed.

¹¹ And the Pharyses came forth, and beganne to dispute with hym, sekynge of hym a sygne from heauen, temptynge hym.

¹⁶ And other tempted him and requyred of him a signe from heauen.

²⁰ But yf I, with the fynger of God cast out deuyls, no doute the kyngdome of God is come vpon you.

¹⁸ Then answered the Iewes and sayde vnto him: what token shewest thou vnto vs, seinge that thou dost these thynges?

²⁸ The woman then lefte her waterpot, and went her waye into the cytie, & sayeth to the men:

¹⁸ Certayne Philosophers of the Epicures and of the Stoyckes, disputed with hym. And some ther were which sayde: what will thys babler saye? Other sayde: he semeth to be a tydynges brynger of newe deuyls, because he preacheth vnto them Iesus & the resurreccion. ¹⁹ And they toke him, & brought him into Marce strete, saying: maye we not knowe what thys newe doctryne wherof thou speakest, is? ²⁰ For thou bryngest straunge tydynges to oure eares. We wold knowe therfore, what these thinges meane. ²¹ For all the Athenians and straugers which were there, gaue them selues to nothing els, but ether to tell, or to heare some newe thynge.

¹⁴ For he shall be the holy place to flye to, and stone to stomble at: the rock to fall vpon: a snare and net to both the houses of Israel, and the inhabitours of Ierusalem. ¹⁵ And many shall stomble, fall, and be broken vpon hym: yee, they shalbe snared & taken.

⁶ And happy is he, that is not offended by me.

⁵⁷ And they were offended at hym. Iesus sayde vnto them: A prophete is not without honoure, saue in his awne countre, and in hys awne house.

³⁴ And Simeon blessed them, and sayde vnto Mary his mother: beholde, this chyld is sett to be the fall and vprising agayne of many in Israel, & for a sygne which is spoken agaynst.

⁴⁶ and sayde vnto them: Thus is it wrytten, and thus it behoued Christ to suffre, and to ryse agayne from deeth the thyrde daye, ⁴⁷ & that repentaunce and remyssyon of synnes shulde be preached in hys name amonge all nacyons, and must begynne at Ierusalem.

⁵³ Then Iesus sayde vnto them: Uerely, verely, I saye vnto you, except ye eate the flesshe of the sonne of man, and drinke his bloude: ye haue no lyfe in you. ⁵⁴ Whoso eateth my flesshe & dryncketh my bloude, hath eternall lyfe, & I wyll rayse him vp at the last daye. ⁵⁵ For my fleshe is meate in dede: and my bloude is drincke in dede. ⁵⁶ He that eateth my flesshe & drinketh my bloude, dwelleth in me and I in him. ⁵⁷ As the lyuinge father hath sent me, and I liue for the father: Euen so he that eateth me, shall lyue by the meanes of me. ⁵⁸ This is the breed, which cam downe from heauen: not as youre fathers dyd eate Manna, & are deed: He that eateth of this breed, shall lyue euer. ⁵⁹ These thinges sayd he in the synagoge, as he taught in Capernaum. ⁶⁰ Many therfore of his disciples (when they had herde this) sayde: this is an harde sayinge: who can abyde the bearinge of it? ⁶¹ Iesus knewe in him selfe, that his disciples murmured at it, & he sayd vnto them: Doth this offende you? ⁶² What and yf ye shall se the sonne of man ascende vp thither where he was before? ⁶³ It is the sprete that quyckeneth, the flesh proffyteth nothinge. The wordes that I speake vnto you, are sprete and lyfe. ⁶⁴ But there are some of you that beleue not. For Iesus knewe from the begynninge, which they were, that beleued not, & who shulde betraye him: ⁶⁵ And he sayd: therfore sayde I vnto you: that noman can come vnto me, except it were geuen vnto hym of my father. ⁶⁶ From that tyme many of his disciples went backe, and forsoke him, and walked nomore with hym.

³² I am the God of thy fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Iacob. Moses trembled, and durst not beholde. ³³ Then sayd the Lorde to him: Put of thy shoes from thy fete, for the place where thou standest, is holy grounde. ³⁴ I haue perfectlye sene the affliccyon of my people, which is in Egypte, and I haue heard theyr gronyng, and am come downe to delyuer them. And nowe come, and I wyll sende the into Egypte. ³⁵ This Moses whom they forsoke (saying: who made the a ruler and a iudge?) the same dyd God sende to be a ruler and a delyuerer, by the handes of the aungell which appeared to hym in the busshe.

³⁹ And we are witnes of all thinges which he dyd in the lande of the Iewes and at Ierusalem: whom they slewe, and hanged on tre. ⁴⁰ Him God raysed vp the thyrd daye, & shewed him openly, ⁴¹ not to all the people, but vnto vs witnesses (chosen before of God for the same intent) which dyd eate & dryncke wt him, after he arose from deeth. ⁴² And he commaunded vs to preach vnto the people, and to testify that it is he, which was ordened of God to be the iudge of quycke and deed. ⁴³ To hym geue all the prophetes witnes, that thorowe hys name whosoeuer beleueth in him, shall receaue remissyon of synnes.

³² Wherfore? euen because they sought it not by fayth: but as it were by the workes of the lawe. For they haue stombled at the stombylynge stone. ³³ As it is wrytten: Behold, I put in Syon a stomblynge stone, & a rocke that men shalbe offended at. And whosoeuer beleueth on hym, shall not be confounded.

¹⁸ For the preaching of the crosse, is to them that perisshe, foolishnes: but vnto vs which are saued it is the power of God.

²⁸ And vyle thynges of the worlde, & thinges which are despised, hath God chosen, yee and thinges of no reputacyon, for to brynge to nought thynges of reputacyon,

¹ O ye folysshe Galathyans: who hath bewitched you, that ye shulde not beleue the trueth? To whom Iesus Christ was described before the eyes and amonge you crucifyed.

¹¹ Brethren, yf I yet preach circumcisyon, why do I then yet suffre persecucyon? Then is the slaunder of the crosse ceased.

¹⁴ God forbyd that I shulde reioyce, but in the crosse of oure Lorde Iesu Christ, wherby the worlde is crucifyed vnto me, & I vnto the worlde.

⁸ and a stone that men stomble at, and a rocke wherat they be offended whych stomble at the worde, and beleue not that, wheron they were set.

¹ Doth not wysdome crye? doth not vnderstandynge put forth her voyce?

²² The Lorde him selfe had me in possessyon in the begynnynge of his wayes, or euer he beganne his worckes a fore tyme. ²³ I haue bene ordened from euerlastynge, and from the begynnynge or euer the earth was made. ²⁴ When I was borne, there were nether depthes nor sprynges of water. ²⁵ Before the foundacyons of the mountaynes were layed, yee before all hylles was I borne. ²⁶ The earth and all that is vpon the earth was not yet made, no not the grounde it selfe. ²⁷ For when he made the heauens, I was present: when he sett vp the depthes in ordre, ²⁸ when he hanged the cloudes aboue: when he fastened the sprynges of the depe: ²⁹ When he shut the see within certayne bowndes, that the waters shulde not go ouer their marckes that he commaunded. When he layed the foundacyons of the earth ³⁰ I was with him, ordrynge all thynges: delytinge dayly, and reioysynge all waye before him.

³⁵ And wysdom is iustifyed of all her children.

⁴⁹ Therfore sayde the wisdome of God, I will send them Prophetes and Apostles and some of them they shall slaye and persecute:

⁴ and hath bene declared to be the sonne of God wt power, after the sprete that sanctifyeth, sence the tyme that Iesus Chryst oure Lorde rose agayne from deeth

²⁸ We knowe that all thynhes worke for the best vnto them that loue God, which also are called of purpose. ²⁹ For those which he knewe before, he also ordeyned before, that they shulde be lyke fassyoned vnto the shape of hys sonne, that he myght be the fyrst begotten sonne amonge many brethren. ³⁰ Moreouer, whom he appoynted before, them also he called. And whom he hath called, them also he iustyfyed: and whom he iustyfyed, them he also gloryfyed.

² Unto the congregacyon of God whych is at Corynthum. To them that are sanctifyed by Christ Iesu, called saynctes, with all that call on the name of oure Lorde Iesus Chryst in euery place, ether of theirs or of oures.

⁹ God is faythfull, by whom ye are called vnto the fellyshyppe of hys sonne Iesus Christ our Lord.

¹⁷ It came to passe, that whan Pharao had lett the people go, God caryed them not thorowe the waye and lande of the Philistines, which was the more nye waye. But God sayde: lest the people happly repent whan they se warre: & so turne agayne to Egipte.

² Speake to the children of Israel, that they turne and remayne before Pi Hiroth betwene Migdol and the see, oueragaynst Baalzephon: and before that shall they pitch by the see. ³ For Pharao wyll saye of the children of Israel: they are tangled in the lande, the wildernes hath shut them in. ⁴ And I will harden Pharaos hert, that he shall folowe after you: and I will get me honoure vpon Pharao and vpon all his hoost, the Egipcians also shall knowe that I am the Lorde. And they dyd euen so.

² And the Lord sayd vnto Iosua: beholde, I haue geuen into thyne hand Iericho and her kynge and the strong men of warre. ³ And ye shall compasse the cytie, all ye that be men of warre, & go rounde aboute it once and so shall you do syxe dayes. ⁴ And seuen preastes shall beare before the Arke, seuen trompettes of rammes hornes. And the seuenth daye, ye shal compasse the cytie seuen tymes, and the preastes shall blowe with the trompettes. ⁵ And when they make a longe blaste wyth the rammes horne, & ye heare the sounde of the horne, all the people shal showte wt a great showte. And then shall the wall of the citie fall doune, and the people shall ascende vp, euery man streight before him.

² And the Lorde sayde vnto Gedeon: the people that are with the, are to many for me to geue the Madianites into their handes, lest Israel make their vaunte agaynst me and saye: myne awne hande hathe saued me. ³ Now therfore make a proclamacyon in the eares of the people, & saye: yf any man dreade or be aferde, let him returne. And the people arose erlye. And there departed & returned of the people which weare at mount Gilead .xxii. thousand, and there abode ten thousande. ⁴ And the Lord sayde vnto Gedeon: the people are yet to many, bryng them downe vnto the water, and I wyll trye them vnto the there. And of whom I saye vnto the, thys shall go with the, the same shall go with the. And of whomsoeuer I saye vnto the, this shall not go wyth the, the same shall not go. ⁵ So he brought downe the people vnto the water, and the Lord sayde vnto Gedeon: as many as lappe the water wyth theyr tonges, as a dogge doth, them put by them selues, & so do them that knele downe vpon their knees to drincke. ⁶ And the nombre of them that put there handes to their mouthes and lapped, were .iii. hundred men. But all the remnaunt of the people kneled downe vpon their knees to dryncke water. ⁷ And the Lorde sayde vnto Gedeon: By these thre hundred men that lapped water, wyll I saue you: and delyuer the Madianites into thyne hande. And let all the other people go euery man vnto his place. ⁸ They therfore of the people toke vitailes with them, & their trompettes. And he sent all the rest of Israel, euery man vnto his tent, and conforted those thre hundred with him. And the host of Madian was benethe hym in a valeye.

¹⁵ And he founde a rotten Iawe bone of an asse, and put forth hys hande, and caught it, and slue a thousande men therwith. ¹⁶ And Samson sayde: with the Iawe of an asse, haue I made heapes of them: with the Iawe of an asse haue I slaine a thousand men.

⁴⁰ and toke hys staffe in hys hande, and chose him fyue smoth stones oute of a broke, and put them in a sheperdes bagge which he had, & in a slynge poke: & his slynge was in his hande, & he went to the Philistine. ⁴¹ And the Philistine came and drue nere agaynst Dauid, and the man that bare the shilde went before hym. ⁴² And when the Philistine loked aboute, and sawe Dauid, he disdayned him, for he was but yonge, and well coloured, and goodlye to loke vpon. ⁴³ And the Philistine said vnto Dauid: am I a dogge, that thou comest to me with a staffe? and the Philistine cursed Dauid in the name of his goddes. ⁴⁴ And the Philistine sayde to Dauid: come to me, & I wyll geue thy fleshe vnto the foules of the ayre, & to the beastes of the felde. ⁴⁵ Then sayde Dauid to the Philistine: thou comest to me wyth a swerde, a speare and a shylde: But I come to the in the name of the Lord of hostes, the God of the hoste of Israel, whom thou hast rayled vpon. ⁴⁶ This daye shall the Lorde delyuer the into my hande, and I shall smyte the, & take thine heed from the, and wyll geue the karcases of the hoste of the Philistines thys daye vnto the foules of the ayre, and to the beastes of the erth, that all they whych be in the worlde, maye knowe, that there is a God in Israel. ⁴⁷ And all thys congregacyon shall knowe, that the Lord saueth not with swerd and speare. For the battell is the Lordes, and he shall geue you into oure handes. ⁴⁸ And when the Philistine arose to come and drawe nie vnto Dauid, Dauid hasted, & ranne into the battayll euen agaynst the Philistine. ⁴⁹ And Dauid put his hande in hys bagge, and toke out a stone, and slange it, & smote the Philistine in his forheed, that the stone souncke into his forheed and he felle grouelynge to the erth. ⁵⁰ And so Dauid ouercame the Philistine with a slyng and a stone, and smote the Philistine, and slue hym, euen whan Dauid had no swerde in hys hande. ⁵¹ But Dauid ranne, and stode vpon the Philistine, & toke hys swerde, and drue it out of hys sheth, and slue hym, & cutte of hys heed therwith. And when the Philistines sawe, that theyr champyon was deed they fled.

¹⁴ And Ahab sayd: By whom? he sayde: thus sayth the Lorde: euen by the seruauntes of the gouernoures of the sheres. He sayde agayne: Who shall ordre the batayll? And he answered: thou. ¹⁵ Then he nombred the seruauntes of the gouerners of the shyres: and they were two hundred and .xxxij. And after them also, he nombred all the people, all the chyldren of Israel, euen seuen thousande. ¹⁶ And they went out at none. but Benhadad dyd dryncke tyll he was droncken in the pauyllyons both he and the kynges: euen .xxxij. kynges, that holpe hym. ¹⁷ And the seruauntes of the gouernours of the shyres went out fyrst. And Benhadad sent out, and they shewed hym, sayeng: there are men come out of Samaria. ¹⁸ He sayde. Whether they be come out for peace, take them a lyue: or whether they be come out to fyght, take them yet a lyue. ¹⁹ And so those younge men of the gouernours of the shyres came out of the cytie, and the Host after them, and they slue euery one hys enemye that came in his waye. ²⁰ And the Siriens fled, and they of Israel folowed after them. And Benhadad the kynge of Syria scaped on a horsse, wyth his horsemen. ²¹ And the kynge of Israel went out, and smote the horsses & charettes, & wyth a great slaughter slue he the Sirians. ²² And there came a Prophete to the kynge of Israel, and sayde vnto hym: go forth and playe the man, be wyse and take hede what thou doest: for when the yere is gone about, the kynge of Siria wyll come vp agaynst the.

⁶ He answered & sayde vnto me: This is the worde of the Lorde vnto Zorobabel, sayinge: Nether thorow an hooste of men nor thorowe strengthe, but thorowe my sprete, sayeth the Lorde of hoostes. ⁷ What art thou thou great mountayne, before Zorobabel? thou must be made euen. And he shal brynge vp the fyrste stone, so that men shal crye vnto him good lucke good lucke.

⁷ The Lorde shall preserue the tentes of Iuda lyke as a fore tyme: so that the glory of the house of Dauid: & the glory of the cytesyns of Ierusalem, shalbe but lytle regarded, in comparison of the glory of Iuda. ⁸ In that daye shall the Lorde defende the cytesyns of Ierusalem: so that the weakest then amonge them shalbe as Dauid: and the house of Dauid shalbe lyke as Gods house, and as the Aungell of the Lorde before them.

³³ O the depnes of the ryches both of the wysdome and knowledge of God: how vnsercheable are his iudgementes, & his wayes past fyndynge out; ³⁴ For who hath knowen the mynde of the Lorde? Or who hath bene hys counseller? ³⁵ other who hath geuen vnto hym fyrst, and he shalbe recompensed agayne? ³⁶ For of hym, and thorow hym, and for hym are all thynges: To hym be glorye for euer. Amen.

²⁷ But God hath chosen the folisshe thynges of the worlde, to confounde the wyse. And God hath chosen the weake thynges, of the worlde, to confounde thynges whych are myghtye. ²⁸ And vyle thynges of the worlde, & thinges which are despised, hath God chosen, yee and thinges of no reputacyon, for to brynge to nought thynges of reputacyon, ²⁹ that no flesshe shulde reioyce in hys presence.

⁴ For though he was crucifyed in weaknes, yet liueth he thorowe the power of God. And we (no doute) are weake in hym: but we shall lyue with hym: by the myght of God amonge you.

¹² In the also wyll I leaue a small poore simple people, which shall trust in the name of the Lord.

²⁵ At that tyme Iesus answered and sayde: I thanke the O father, Lord of heauen & erth, because thou hast hid these thinges from the wyse and prudent, and hast shewed them vnto babes, ²⁶ verely father, euen so was it thy good pleasure.

³ I determyned also (as sone as I had searched out dyligently all thinges from the begynnyng) that then I wolde wryte vnto the, good Theophilus:

²⁴ When Iesus sawe that he was sory, he sayde wyth what difficulte shall they that haue mony, enter into the kingdome of God? ²⁵ it is easyer for a camell to go thorow a nedles eye, then for a ryche man to enter into the kyngdome of God.

⁴⁶ So Iesus cam agayne into Cana of Galile wher he turned the water into wyne. And ther was a certayne ruler, whose sonne was sycke at Capernaum. ⁴⁷ As sone as the same herde that Iesus was come out of Iewry into Galile, he went vnto him, & besought him, that he wolde come downe, and heale his sonne. For he was euen at the poynt of death. ⁴⁸ Then sayde Iesus vnto him: excepte ye se signes & wondres, ye wyll not beleue. ⁴⁹ The ruler sayeth vnto him: Syr, come downe, or euer that my sonne dye. ⁵⁰ Iesus sayeth vnto hym: Go thy waye, thy sonne lyueth. The man beleued the worde that Iesus had spoken vnto him. And he went his waye. ⁵¹ And as he was now going downe, the seruauntes mett him, & tolde him, sayinge: thy sonne lyueth. ⁵² Then enquyred he of them the houre, when he beganne to amende. And they sayd vnto him: Yester daye at the seuenth houre, the feuer lefte him. ⁵³ So the father knewe, that it was the same houre, in the which Iesus sayde vnto him: Thy sonne lyueth. And he beleued, and all his housholde.

⁴⁷ Then answered them the Pharises: are ye also disceaued? ⁴⁸ Doth eny of the rulers or of the Pharises beleue on him? ⁴⁹ But this comen people whych knowe not the lawe, are cursed,

³⁸ After this, Ioseph of Aramathia (which was a disciple of Iesus: but secretly for feare of the Iewes) besought Pilate, that he might take downe the body of Iesus. And Pilate gaue him licence. ³⁹ And ther cam also Nicodemus (which at the begynnynge came to Iesus by night) & brought of myrre and aloes mingled together, aboute an hundred pounde wayght.

⁷ which was with the ruler of the countre one Sergius Paulus a prudent man. The same ruler called vnto hym Barnabas and Saul, and desyred to heare the worde of God.

¹² Then the rular when he sawe what had happened beleued, & wondred at the doctryne of the Lorde.

³⁴ Howbeit certayne men claue vnto hym and beleued: amonge the which was Dyonysyus a senatour, and a woman named Damaris, and other with them.

²⁰ Where is the wyse? Where is the scrybe? Where is the disputer of this worlde?

³ And I was among you in weaknes, and in feare, and in moche tremblynge. ⁴ And my wordes and my preachynge was not wt entysynge wordes of mannes wysdome: but in shewynge of the sprete and of power, ⁵ that your fayth shuld not stande in the wysdome of men, but in the power of God. ⁶ We speake of wysdome amonge them that are perfecte: not the wysdome of this world, nether of the rulars of this worlde (whych go to nought)

⁸ which wysdome none of the rulars of this worlde knewe. For had they had knowlege, they wold not haue crucifyed the Lorde of glory.

¹⁸ Let no man deceaue him selfe. If eny man seme wyse to hym selfe amonge you, let hym become a foole in this worlde, that he maye be wyse. ¹⁹ For the wysdom of thys worlde is folyshnes with God. For it is wrytten: he compaseth the wyse in theyr craftynes. ²⁰ And agayne: God knoweth the thoughtes of the wyse, that they be vayne.

²² All the saynctes salute you, most of all they which are of the emperours housholde.

⁹ Let the brother which is of lowe degre reioyce whan he is exalted. ¹⁰ Agayne: let hym that is riche, reioyce whan he is made lowe. For euen as the flower of the grasse, shall he passe awaye. ¹¹ For as the sonne ryseth with heat, & the grasse wydereth, & hys flower falleth awaye, and the beautie of the fassyon of it perissheth: euen so shall the rich man perisshe in his wayes.

⁵ Harken my deare beloued brethren. Hath not God chosen the poore of thys worlde, soch as are ryche in faythe, & heyres of the kyngdome, whych he promysed to them that loue hym?

¹³ So can no fountayne geue bothe salt water & fresshe also. Yf eny man be wyse & endued wt knowledge amonge you, let hym shewe his workes out of good conuersacion with mekenes of wysdome. ¹⁴ But yf ye haue bytter enuyeng & stryfe in your herte, reioyce not: nether be lyars agaynst the trueth: ¹⁵ For soch wysdome descendeth not from aboue: but is erthy, naturall, & diuelisshe. ¹⁶ For wher enuyeng & strife is, there is vnstablenes, & all manner of euyll workes. ¹⁷ But the wysdome that is from aboue, is first pure, then peasable, gentle, & easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good frutes, without iudging, without simulacion:

¹ The elder to the electe lady and her children, whom I loue in the trueth: and not I onely, but also all that haue knowen the trueth

² Out of the mouth of very babes and sucklynges hast thou ordeyned strength because of thyne enemyes, that thou myghtest styll the enemye and the auenger.

⁵ For he hath brought downe hye mynded citesens. As for the proude citye, he hath brought it lowe: euen vnto the grounde shall he cast it downe, & bring it vnto dust. ⁶ The fote euen the fote of the poore: and the steppes of such as be in necessitie shall treade it downe.

¹⁹ The meke spreted also shalbe mery in the Lorde, and the poore amonge them that be lowly, shall reioyce in the holy one of Israel.

¹⁸ As Iesus walked by the see of Galile he sawe two brethren: Symon, which was called Peter, & Andrew his brother, castyng a neet into the see (for they were fisshers) ¹⁹ and he sayth vnto them: folowe me, and I wyll make you fisshers of men. ²⁰ And they streyght waye lefte the nettes, and folowed hym. ²¹ And whan he was gone forth fro thence, he sawe other two brethren, Iames the sonne of Zebede, & Iohn his brother, in the shyp wt Zebede their father, mending their nettes, & he called them. ²² And they immediatly lefte the shyp and theyr father, and folowed hym.

⁹ And as Iesus passed forth from thence, he sawe a man (named Mathew) syttynge at the receate of custome, and he sayeth vnto him: folow me.

¹⁶ and sayd vnto him: hearest thou what these saye? But Iesus saieth vnto them why not? haue ye neuer redde. Out of the mouth of babes & suckelynges thou haste ordeyned prayse?

³⁹ And some of the Pharyses of the company sayd vnto hym: Master, rebuke the disciples. ⁴⁰ He sayd vnto them: I tell you, that yf these holde theyr peace, then shall the stones crye.

¹⁵ for I wyll geue you a mouth & wysdome, where agaynste, all your aduersaries shall not be able to speake nor resist.

¹¹ This is the stone which was cast asyde of you buylders, which is become the chefe of the corner. ¹² Nether is there saluacyon in eny other. For amonge men vnder heauen there is geuen none other name, wherin we must be saued. ¹³ When they sawe the boldnes of Peter and Iohn, and vnderstode that they were vnlerned and laye men, they marueyled, and they knewe them, that they had bene with Iesu: ¹⁴ and beholdynge also the man (which was healed) standynge with them, they coulde not saye agaynst it: ¹⁵ but commaunded them to go asyde out of the counsell, and counceled amonge them selues, ¹⁶ sayinge: what shall we do to these men? For a manifest sygne is done by them, and is openly knowen to all them that dwell in Ierusalem, and we cannot denye it. ¹⁷ But that it be noysed no farther amonge the people, let vs threaten and charge them, that they speake hence forth to no man in thys name. ¹⁸ And they called them, and commaunded them, that in no wyse they shulde speake ner teach in the name of Iesu. ¹⁹ But Peter & Iohn answered and sayde vnto them: whether it be ryght in the sight of God, to herken vnto you more then to God, iudge ye. ²⁰ For we cannot but speake, that which we haue sene & heard. ²¹ So threatened they them, and let them go, and founde nothynge howe to punysshe them, because of the people. For all men praysed God because of that which was done:

⁹ Then ther arose certen of the Synagoges, which is called the Synagoge of the Libertynes and Sirenytes, and of Alexandria, and of Celicia, and of Asia, disputynge with Steuen. ¹⁰ And they coulde not resyste the wisdome, & the sprete, which spake.

³⁵ This Moses whom they forsoke (saying: who made the a ruler and a iudge?) the same dyd God sende to be a ruler and a delyuerer, by the handes of the aungell which appeared to hym in the busshe.

⁵⁴ When they heard these thinges, theyr hertes claue asunder, and they gnasshed on him with theyr teth.

²⁴ And after a certayne dayes, whan Felix came with his wyfe Drusilla (which was a Iewesse) he called forth Paul, and hearde hym of the fayth, which is towarde Chris ²⁵ And as he preached of ryghtewesnes temperaunce, and iudgement to come, Felix trembled, and answered: Go thy waye for thys tyme: whan I haue a conuenient season, I wyll sende for the.

⁷ But we haue this treasure in erthen vessels, that the excellency of the power myght be Gods, and not oures.

⁴ For the weapens of oure warrefare are not carnall thynges, but thynges myghty in God, to cast downe stronge holdes, ⁵ wherewith we ouerthrowe councels and euery hye thynge that exalteth it selfe agaynst the knowledge of God, and brynge into captiuyte all ymaginacion to the obedience of Christ,

⁶³ And it shall come to passe, that as the Lord reioysed ouer you, to do you good, & to multiplye you: euen so he wyll reioyse ouer you, to destroye you, & to brynge you to nought. And ye shalbe wasted from of the land, whether thou goest to enioye it.

¹⁹ He hath no respecte vnto the personnes, of the lordly, and regardeth not the rych more then the poore. For they be all the worcke of hys handes. ²⁰ In the twyncklinge of an eye shall they dye: and at mydnight, when the people and the tyrauntes rage, then shall they perish, and be taken awaye without handes.

²⁴ Many one: yee innumerable doth he punyshe, & setteth other in their steades.

¹⁰ Be not ye lyke horse and mule, which haue no vnderstandynge. Whose mouthes must be holden with byt & brydle, lest they fall vpon the.

³⁵ Hope thou in the Lord, and kepe his waye, & he shal promote the, that thou shalt possesse the lande: when the vngodly shal perishe, thou shalt se it. ³⁶ I my selfe haue sene the vngodly in great power, & florishinge lyke a grene baye tree:

¹¹ Which casteth downe the high lookes of presumptuous personnes, and bringeth lowe the pryde of man, and the Lorde only shall be exalted in that daye.

¹⁷ And it shall brynge downe the pryde of man, and laye mans presumptuousnesse full lowe, and the Lorde shall only haue the vyctory in that daye.

¹³ Euen lyke many waters shall the people rage. God shall rebuke him, and he shal flye farre of. He shalbe chaced awaye lyke as drye strawe vpon the mountaynes before the wynde, and lyke a thing that turneth before the storme. ¹⁴ At euen beholde, there is trouble: & or euer it be mornyng, lo, he is gone. This is the porcyon of them that oppresse vs, and the lott of them that robbe vs.

³⁶ Thus the angel went forth, and slewe of the Assyrians hoost, an hundred fourescore and fyue thousande. And when men arose vp early in the mornynge. Beholde, they were slayne, and all laye full of deed bodyes.

¹² So that whoso seketh after them, shall not fynde them. Thy destroyers shall perysh, and so shall they that vndertake to make batayll agaynst the be as that is not, & as a thinge of naught.

³⁴ This thou sawest tyll, the tyme that, without eny handes, there was hewen of, a stone which smote the Image vpon the fete, that were both of yron and earth, and brake them to poulder: ³⁵ then was the yron, the earth, the copper, the syluer and golde broken altogether in peces: and became lyke the chaffe of corne, that the wynde bloweth awaye from the somer floores, that they can no more be founde. But the stone that smote the ymage, became a greate mountayne, which fulfylleth the whole earth:

⁴⁴ In the dayes of these kynges, shall the God of heauen set vp an euerlasting kyngdome whych shall not perish, & his kyngdome shal not be geuen ouer to another people: yee, the same shall breake & destroye all these kyngdomes, but it shall endure for euer. ⁴⁵ And where as thou sawest, that wythout eny handes there was cut out of the mounte a stone, which brake the yron, the copper, the earth, the syluer and golde in peces: by that hath the greate God shewed the kyng, what wyll come after this. This is a true dreame, and the interpretacyon of it is sure.

¹⁷ (As it is wrytten: I haue made the a father of many nacyons) euen before God, whom he beleued, whych restoreth the deed vnto lyfe: and calleth those thynges whych be not, as though they were.

¹¹ Therfore, haue I delectacion in infirmityes, in rebukes, in necessities, in persecucyons, in anguysshes for Chrystes sake. For when I am weake, then am I stronge.

¹⁷ for at one houre so great ryches is come to nought. And euery shyppe gouerner, and all they that occupied shyppes, and shypmen which worke in the see, stode a farre of,

⁶ There be some that put theyr in trust their goodes, & boast them selues in the multitude of theyr ryches.

¹⁵ Shall the axe boast it selfe, agaynst him that heweth therwith? or doth the sawe make eny bragging agaynst him that ruleth it? That were euen lyke, as yf the rod dyd exalte it selfe agaynst him that beareth it: or as though the staff shulde magnifye it selfe, as who saye: it were no wood.

²³ Thus sayeth the Lorde. Let not the wyse man reioyse in his wysdome, ner the strong man in his strength, nether the ryche man in his rychesse.

¹⁹ We knowe that what thynges soeuer the lawe sayth, it sayth it to them which are vnder the lawe. That all mouthes maye be stopped, & that all the worlde maye be subdued to God,

²⁷ Where is then thy reioysynge? It is excluded. By what lawe? of workes? Naye: but by the lawe of fayth.

² If Abraham were iustyfyed by dedes, then hath he wherin to reioyce: but not wt God.

¹⁷ I haue therfore wherof I maye reioyse thorow Chryst Iesu, in those thinges which pertayne to God.

³¹ That accordynge as it is written: he which reioyseth, shulde reioyce in the Lorde.

⁷ For who preferreth the? What hast thou, that thou hast not receaued? If thou haue receaued it, why reioysest thou, as though thou haddest not receaued it?

⁶ Youre reioysynge is not good: knowe ye not, that a lytle leuen sowreth the whole lompe of dowe?

⁹ and commeth not of workes, lest eny man shulde boast him selfe

¹⁵ Thou, O God, hast taught me fro my youth vp vntill now, therfore will I tell of thy wonderous worckes. ¹⁶ Forsake me not, O God, in myne olde age, when I am gray headed: vntyll I haue shewed thy strength vnto this generacion, and thy power to all them that are yet for to come.

²⁰ Wisdome cryeth wtout, & putteth forth her voyce in the stretes.

⁶ For it is the Lorde that geueth wisdome, out of his mouth commeth knowledge and vnderstandynge.

⁵ Take hede vnto knowledge O ye ignoraunt be wyse in herte, O ye foles.

¹⁷ But Israel shalbe saued in the Lorde, which is the euerlastinge saluacyon. Ye shall not come to shame ner confusyon, worlde without ende.

²⁴ saying. Uerely, in the Lord is my ryghteousnes and strength. To him shal men come: but all they that thincke scorne of him, shalbe confounded. ²⁵ And the whole sede of Israel shalbe iustified and make their boast in the Lorde.

¹⁷ but all the weapens that are made agaynst the, shall not prospere. And as for all tunges, that shall resyste the in iudgement, thou shalt ouercome them, & condemne them. Thys is the heritage of the Lordes seruauntes, and their ryghteousnes commeth of me, sayeth the Lorde.

⁵ Beholde, the tyme commeth, sayeth the Lorde, that I wyll rayse vp the ryghteous braunche of Dauid, which kynge shall beare rule, and he shall prosper with wysedome, & shall set vp equite & righteousnes agayne in the erth. ⁶ In this tyme shall Iuda be saued, and Israell shall dwell without feare. And this is the name that they shal call him: euen the Lorde oure ryghteousnesse.

¹⁶ In those dayes shall Iuda be helped and Ierusalem shall dwell safe, and he that shall call her is euen God oure ryghteousnesse.

²⁴ .Lxx. wekes are determed ouer thy people, and ouer the holy cytie: that the wyckednes maye be consumed, that the synne may haue an ende, that the offence maye be reconciled, and to brynge in euerlastinge ryghteousnesse, to fulfyll the visyons and the prophetes, and to anoynte the moost holy one.

¹⁴ had not I defended hym from the graue, and delyuered hym from death. O death, I will be thy death: O hell, I wyll be thy kynge.

²¹ She shall brynge forth a sonne, and thou shalt cal hys name Iesus. For he shall saue his people from theyr synnes.

¹⁸ No man hath sene God at eny tyme. The onely begotten sonne, whych is in the bosome of the father, he hath declared hym.

¹² Then spake Iesus agayne vnto them, saying: I am the lyght of the worlde. He that foloweth me, doth not walke in darcknes but shall haue the light of lyfe.

⁶ Iesus sayeth vnto hym: I am the waye and the treuth, and the lyfe. No man cometh vnto the father, but by me.

¹ I am the true vyne, and my father is the husbandman. ² Euery braunche that beareth not frute in me, he will take awaye. And euery braunche that beareth frute, will he pourge, that it maye bring forth more frute. ³ Nowe are ye cleane thorow the wordes which I haue spoken vnto you. ⁴ Byde in me, and I in you. As the braunche cannot beare frute of it selfe, excepte it byde in the vyne: nomore can ye, except ye abyde in me. ⁵ I am the vyne, ye are the braunches. He that abydeth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth moche frute. For without me can ye do nothing. ⁶ If a man byde not in me, he is cast forth as a braunche, & is wythered: and men gather them: and cast them into the fyre, and they burne.

⁸ For I haue geuen vnto them the wordes which thou gauest me, and they haue receaued them, and haue knowen surely, that I came out from the: and they haue beleued, that thou diddest send me.

²¹ that they al maye be one, as thou father art in me, and I in the, and 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, I haue geuen them, that they maye be one, as we also are one. ²³ I in them, and thou in me, that they maye be made parfecte in one, & that the worlde maye knowe, that thou hast sent me, and hast loued them as thou hast loued me.

²⁶ And I haue declared vnto them thy name, and will declare it, that the loue wherwith thou hast loued me, maye be in them, & I in them.

¹⁷ For by it is the ryghtewesnes of God opened from fayth to fayth.

²¹ But now is the ryghtewesnes of God declared wythout the lawe, for asmoch as it is alowed by the testimonye of the lawe and of the Prophetes. ²² The ryghtewesnes of God, commeth by the fayth of Iesus Christ, vnto all and vpon all them that beleue. Ther is no dyfference: ²³ for all haue synned, and are destitute of the glorye of God: ²⁴ but are iustifyed frely by his grace, through the redempcyon that is in Christ Iesu,

⁶ Euen as Dauid describeth the blessedfulnes of that man, vnto whom God imputeth ryghtewesnes wythout dedes.

²⁵ whych was delyuered for oure synnes, and was raysed agayne for oure iustificacyon.

¹⁹ For as by one mannes disobedience many became synners: so by the obedience of one, shall many be made ryghteous.

²¹ That as synne had raygned vnto deeth, euen so myght grace raygne thorow ryghtewesnes, vnto eternall lyfe, by the helpe of Iesu Christ.

¹ Ther is then no damnacyon to them whych are in Chryst Iesu, whych walke not after the flesshe, but after the sprete.

⁹ But ye are not in the flesshe, but in the sprete: yf so be that the sprete of God dwell in you. If eny man haue not the spryte of Chryst, the same is none of hys.

²³ Not onely it, but we also which haue the fyrst frutes of the spryte, morne in oure selues also, and wayte for the adopcyon euen the delyueraunce of oure bodye.

³⁶ For of hym, and thorow hym, and for hym are all thynges: To hym be glorye for euer. Amen.

⁵ so we beynge many, are one body in Chryst, and euery man among oure selues, one anothers members.

⁷ Salute Andronicus and Iunia my cosyns, and presoners with me also: which are well taken amonge the Apostles, & were in Christ before me.

¹¹ Salute Herodion my kynsman. Grete them that be of the housholde of Narcissus, whych are in the Lorde.

¹¹ And soch were some of you, but ye are wasshed: but ye are sanctifyed: but ye are iustifyed by the name of the Lorde Iesus, & by the sprete of oure God.

¹⁸ But nowe hath God set the membres euery one seuerally in the body as it hath pleased him.

²⁷ Ye are the body of Christ, and membres one of another.

⁵⁴ When this corruptible hath put on incorruption, and this mortall hath put on immortalite: then shalbe brought to passe the saying that is written: ⁵⁵ Deeth is swalowed vp in victory: Deeth where is thy stynge? Hell where is thy victory? ⁵⁶ The stynge of deeth is synne: and the strength of synne is the lawe. ⁵⁷ But thankes be vnto God which hath geuen vs victory, thorowe oure Lord Iesus Christ.

¹⁷ Therfore yf eny man be in Christ, he is a newe creature Olde thynges are passed awaye, beholde, all thinges are become new. ¹⁸ Neuerthelesse, all thynges are of God, whych hath reconcyled vs vnto him selfe by Iesus Christ, and hath geuen to vs the offyce to preache the attonement. ¹⁹ For God was in Christ, and made agrement betwene the worlde and him selfe, & imputed not their synnes vnto them, and hath commytted to vs the preachynge of the attonement. ²⁰ Now then are we messengers in the rowme of Christ euen as though God dyd beseche you thorow vs. So praye we you in Christes stede, that ye be reconcyled vnto God: ²¹ for he made him to be synne for vs, which knewe no synne, that we by his meanes shulde be that ryghtewesnes, which before God is alowed.

² d) Doutles, it is not expedient for me to boast, I wyll come to visyons and reuelacions of the Lord,

⁴ which gaue hym selfe for our synnes to delyuer vs from thys present euyll worlde, accordynge to the wyll of God oure father,

¹³ Christ hath deliuered vs from the curse of the lawe, in as moche as he was made accursed for vs: For it is written: cursed is euery one, that hangeth on tree,

²² Contrarely, the frute of the sprete is, loue, ioye, peace, longe sufferinge, gentylnes, goodnes, faythfulnes, ²³ mekenes, temperauncye. Agaynst suche there is no lawe. ²⁴ They trulye that are Christes, haue crucifyed the flesshe with the affeccions and lustes.

³ Blessed be God the father of oure Lorde Iesus Christ, which hath blessed vs with all maner of spirituall blessyng in heuenly thinges by Christ ⁴ accordinge as he had chosen vs in hym, before the foundacions of the worlde were layde, that we shulde be holy, and without blame before hym, thorowe loue.

⁷ By whome we haue redempcyon thorowe his bloude, euen the forgeuenes of synnes, accordinge to the ryches of grace:

¹⁰ to haue it declared whan the tyme was full come, that he myght set vp all thynges perfectly by Christ (both the thynges which are in heuen, and the thynges which are in earth)

¹⁴ which is the ernest of oure inheritaunce, for the recouerynge of the purchassed possessyon, vnto the prayse of hys glory.

¹⁷ that the God of oure Lorde Iesus Chryst, the father of glory, maye geue vnto you the sprete of wysdome and reuelacyon, by the knowledge of him selfe, ¹⁸ and lyghten the eyes of youre myndes, that ye maye knowe what the hope is, where vnto he hath called you, and howe riche the glorye is of his inheritaunce vpon the saynctes,

¹⁰ For we are his worckmanshyppe, created in Chryst Iesu vnto good workes, whiche God ordeyned, that we shulde walke in them.

⁹ and to make all men se, what the felyshyppe of the mystery is, which from the begynnynge of the worlde hath bene hyd in God which made all thinges thorow Iesus Christ: ¹⁰ to the intent, that nowe vnto the rulers and powers in heauenly thinges, myght be knowen by the congregacion, the manyfolde wysdome of God,

³⁰ And greue not ye the holy sprete of God by whom ye are sealed vnto the daye of redempcyon.

⁹ and be founde in him not hauynge myne awne ryghtewesnes of the lawe: but that which is thorow the fayth of Chryst: euen the ryghtewesnes which commeth of God thorowe fayth:

¹⁴ by whom we haue redempcion thorowe his bloude euen the forgeuenes of sinnes

² that theyr hertes myght be comforted whan they are knet together in loue, and in all ryches of full vnderstandynge, for to knowe the mistery of God the father, and of Chryst, ³ in whom are hyd all the treasures of wysdome and knowledge.

¹⁶ Let the worde of Chryst dwell in you plenteously with all wysdome. Teache and exhorte youre awne selues, in Psalmes, and hymnes, and spirituall songes syngynge with grace in youre hertes to the Lorde

¹⁵ and for as moch also as of a chylde thou hast knowen the holy scriptures which are able to make the lerned vnto saluacyon thorow the fayth which is in Christ Iesu. ¹⁶ All scripture geuen by inspiracyon of God, is proffitable to teache, to improue, to amende and to instruct in ryghtewesnes, ¹⁷ that the man of God maye be perfecte & prepared vnto all good workes.

¹² nether by the bloude of goates & calues: but by hys awne bloude he entred in once into the holy place, and founde eternall redempcyon.

⁵ If eny of you lacke wysdome, let hym aske of him that geueth it: euen God, which geueth to all men indifferentlye, and casteth no man in the teeth: and it shalbe geuen him.

¹⁸ For as moch as ye knowe, how that ye were not redemed wyth corruptible thynges (as syluer & golde) from youre vayne conuersacion, whych ye receaued by the tradicion of the fathers: ¹⁹ but wt the precious bloude of Chryst, as of a lambe vndefyled, and wythout spot,

¹ Simon Peter a seruaunt, and an Apostle of Iesus Christ, to them whych haue obtayned lyke precyous fayth wt vs thorow the ryghtewesnes of oure God and sauioure Iesus Christ.

⁶ This Iesus Christ is he that cam by water & bloud, not by water onely: but by water and bloud. And it is the sprete that beareth wytnes, because the sprete is trueth.

⁹ & they songe a new songe, saying: thou art worthy to take the boke, & to open the seales therof: for thou wast kylled, & hast redemed vs by thy bloud out of all kynredes, & tonges, & people, & nacyons,

⁴ These are they, which were not defyled wt wemen, for they are virgyns. These folowe the lambe whythersoeuer he goeth. These were redemed from men, beynge the fyrste frutes vnto God and to the lambe,

¹⁰ Reioyce in hys holy name: let the hertes of them that seke the Lorde, be glad.

³⁵ and saye ye: saue vs (o God) of oure saluacion, geather vs to gether, and delyuer vs from amonge the hethen, that we maye geue thankes to thy holy name, & triumphe in the prayse of the.

³ Reioyse in his holy name, let the hert of them reioyse, that seke the Lorde.

¹⁶ Thou shalt fanne them and the wynde shall carye them awaye, and the whirlwynde shall scater them. But thou shalt reioyse in the Lorde, and shalt delyte in praysinge the holy one of Israel.

²⁵ And the whole sede of Israel shalbe iustified and make their boast in the Lorde.

² And shalt sweare: The Lord lyueth: in trueth, in equyte and ryghteousnesse: and all people shall be fortunable & ioyfull in him.

²³ Thus sayeth the Lorde. Let not the wyse man reioyse in his wysdome, ner the strong man in his strength, nether the ryche man in his rychesse. ²⁴ But who so will reioyse, let hym reioyse in this, that he vnderstandeth, & knoweth me: for I am the Lorde, which do mercy, equyte and ryghteousnesse vpon the earth. Therfore, haue I pleasure in soch thynges, sayeth the Lorde.

¹⁷ But let him that reioyseth, reioyse in the Lorde.

³ For we are circumcisyon, which serue God in the sprete, and reioyce in Chryst Iesu, and haue no confydence in the flesshe:
