1 Corinthians 12 Cross References - Great

¹ Concernynge spirituall thinges (brethren) I wolde not haue you ignoraunt. ² Ye knowe that ye were gentyls, & went youre wayes vnto domme ymages, euen as ye were led. ³ Wherfore I declare vnto you, that no man speakyng by the sprete of God, defyeth Iesus. Also no man can saye that Iesus is the Lorde, but by the holy ghost. ⁴ Ther are diuersites of gyftes, yet but one sprete. ⁵ And ther are differences of administracyons, and yet but one Lorde. ⁶ And ther are dyuers maners of operacyons, and yet but one God whych worcketh all in all. ⁷ The gyfte of the sprete is geuen to euery man, to edifye withall, 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. ⁹ To another is geuen fayth, by the same sprete. To another the gyftes of healinge 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: ¹¹ But these all worketh euen the selfe same sprete, diuidynge to euery man a seuerall gyfte, euen as he wyll. ¹² For as the body is one, and hath many membres, and all the membres of one body though they be many, yet are but one bodye, euen so is Christ. ¹³ For by one sprete are we all baptysed to make one body, whether we be Iewes or Gentyls, whether we be bonde or fre, and haue all droncke of one sprete. ¹⁴ For the body is not one member, but many. ¹⁵ If the fote saye: I am not the hande, I am not of the body: is he therfore not of the body? ¹⁶ And yf the eare saye, I am not the eye, I am not of the body: is he therfore not of the body? ¹⁷ If all the body were an eye, where were then the eare? If all were hearynge: where were the smellynge? ¹⁸ But nowe hath God set the membres euery one seuerally in the body as it hath pleased him. ¹⁹ If they were all one member: where were the bodye? ²⁰ Nowe are there many membres, yet but one body. ²¹ And the eye can not saye vnto the hande: I haue no nede of the. Agayne, the heed can not saye to the fete: I haue no nede of you. ²² Yee rather a great deale those membres of the body which seme to be more feble, are necessary. ²³ And vpon those membres of the body which we thinke leest honest, put we more honestye on. And oure vngoodlye partes haue more beautye on. ²⁴ For oure honest membres nede it not: But God hath so disposed the body, & hath geuen the more honoure to that parte whych lacked, 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. ²⁶ yf one member be had in honour, all membres be glad also. ²⁷ Ye are the body of Christ, and membres one of another. ²⁸ And God hath also ordeyned in the congregacyon, fyrst Apostles, secondarely prophetes, thrydly teachers, then them that do myracles: after that, the gyftes of healyng, helpers, gouerners, diuersitye of tonges. ²⁹ Are all Apostles? Are all Prophetes? Are all teachers? Are all doars of miracles? ³⁰ Haue all the gyftes of healinge? Do all speake with tonges? Do all interprete? ³¹ Couet after the best gyftes. And yet shewe I vnto you a more excellent waye.

¹ Brethren, I wolde not that ye shulde be ignoraunt, howe that our fathers were all vnder the cloude, and all passed thorowe the see,

⁴ Ther are diuersites of gyftes, yet but one sprete. ⁵ And ther are differences of administracyons, and yet but one Lorde. ⁶ And ther are dyuers maners of operacyons, and yet but one God whych worcketh all in all. ⁷ The gyfte of the sprete is geuen to euery man, to edifye withall, 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. ⁹ To another is geuen fayth, by the same sprete. To another the gyftes of healinge 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: ¹¹ But these all worketh euen the selfe same sprete, diuidynge to euery man a seuerall gyfte, euen as he wyll.

¹ Labour for loue, and couet spretuall gyftes: but most chefly that ye maye prophesye. ² For he that speaketh with the tonge, speaketh not vnto men, but vnto God. For no man heareth hym: Houbeit in the sprete he speaketh mysteries. ³ But he that prophesieth, speaketh vnto men for their edifyinge, for their exhortacion and for their comforte. ⁴ He that speaketh with the tonge, proffiteth him selfe: he that prophesieth, edifyeth the congregacion 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? ⁷ Moreouer, when thinges without lyfe geue sounde (whether it be a pype or an harpe) except they make a destruccyon in the soundes, how shall it be knowen what is pyped or harped? ⁸ For yf the trompe geue an vncertayne voyce, who shall prepare him selfe to the warre? ⁹ Euen so lykewyse when ye speake with tonges, excepte ye speake wordes that haue significacyon, howe shall it be vnderstande what is spoken? For ye shall but speake in the ayer. ¹⁰ Many kyndes of voyces are in the world, and none of them are without significacion. ¹¹ If I knowe not what the voyce meaneth, I shalbe vnto him that speaketh, an alient: and he that speaketh, shalbe an alient vnto me. ¹² Euen so ye (for as moche as ye couet spretuall gyftes) seke, that ye maye excell, vnto the edifyinge of the congregacyon. ¹³ Wherfore, let him that speaketh with tonge, praye, that he maye interpret also. ¹⁴ For If I praye with tonge, my sprete prayeth, but my vnderstonding doth no good. ¹⁵ What is it then? I will praye with the sprete, and will praye with the vnderstonding. I will synge with the sprete, and will synge with the vnderstonding. ¹⁶ For ells, when thou blessest with the sprete, how shall he that occupieth the rowme of the vnlearned, saye Amen, at thy geuynge of thankes, seynge he vnderstandeth not. what thou sayest? ¹⁷ Thou verely geuest thankes well, but the other is not edified. ¹⁸ I thanke my God that I speake with tonges more then ye all.

³⁷ If eny man thynke him selfe to be a prophet, ether spirituall: let him knowe, what thynges I wryte vnto you. For they are the commaundementes of the Lorde.

⁸ Brethren, I wolde not haue you ignoraunt of oure trouble, which happened vnto vs in Asia. For we were greued out of measure passing strength, so greatly that we despayred euen of lyfe.

¹¹ And the very same made some Apostles, some Prophetes, some Euangelistes, some Shepherdes and Teachers:

¹³ I wolde not brethren that ye shulde be ignoraunt concernynge them whych are fallen aslepe, that ye sorowe not as other do, whych haue no hope.

⁸ Dearly beloued, be not ignoraunt of this one thinge, howe that one daye is with the Lorde as a thousande yeare, & a thousande yeare as one daye.

⁵ They haue mouth, and speake not: eyes haue they, and se not.

⁷ They haue handes and handle not: fete haue they, and walke not, nether speake they thorow their throte.

¹⁶ They haue mouthes, & speake not: eyes haue they, but they se not.

⁷ Yet must he be taken on mennes shoulders & borne, and set in his place, that he maye stande and not moue out of his place. Alas, that men shuld crye crie vnto him which geueth no answere: and delyuereth not the man that calleth vpon him, from hys trouble:

⁵ It standeth as styf as the palme tree, it can nether speake ner go one fote, but must be borne. Be not ye afrayed of soch, for they can do nether good ner euell.

¹⁸ What helpe then will the ymage do, whom the worckman hath fashioned? Or the vayne cast ymage, wherin because the craftesman putteth his trust, therfore maketh he domme Idols? ¹⁹ Wo vnto hym, that sayeth to a pece of wod: aryse, & to a domme stone: stande vp. For what instruccyon maye soch one geue? Beholde it is layed ouer with gold & syluer and there is no breth in it.

¹⁴ Let them alone, they be the blynde leaders of the blynde. If the blynde leade the blynde, both shall fall into the dyche.

⁸ Notwithstandynge, when ye knewe not God, ye dyd seruice vnto them which by nature are no Goddes.

¹¹ Wherfore, remember that ye beynge in tyme passed gentyls in the flesshe, were called vncircumcisyon from that whych is called circumcisyon in the flesshe, which circumcision is made by handes: ¹² remember (I saye) that at that tyme ye were without Chryst, beynge aliauntes from the comen welth of Israel, and straungers from the testamentes of the promes hauynge no hope, and beynge with out God in this worlde.

¹⁷ This I saye therfore, and testifye thorowe the Lorde, that ye hence forth walke not, as other Gentyls walke, in vanite of theyr minde, ¹⁸ whyle they are blinded in their vnderstandynge, beynge farre from a godly lyfe, by the meanes of the ignorancy that is in them, and because of the blyndnes of their hertes:

⁹ For they them selues shewe of you, what maner of entring in we had vnto you and how ye tourned to God from ymages, for to serue the liuynge and true God,

³ For we oure selues also were somtyme foolyshe dysobedient, deceaued, seruynge diuerse lustes and volupteousnes, lyuynge in maliciousnes and enuye, full of hate, hatynge one another.

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:

³ For it is sufficyent for vs, that we haue spent the tyme that is past of the lyfe, after the wyll of the Gentyls, walkynge in wantannes, lustes, in excesse of wynes, in excesse of eatynge, in excesse of drinkynge and in abomynable ydolatrie.

²³ hys body shall not remayne all nyghte vpon the tree, but thou shalt burye hym the same daye. For the curse of God is on him that is hanged. Defyle not thou thy lande, whych the Lorde thy God geueth the to enheret.

¹⁶ Simon Peter answered & sayde: Thou art Christ the sone of the lyuynge God. ¹⁷ And Iesus answered, & sayde vnto hym: happy art thou Simon the sonne of Ionas, for fleshe & bloud hath not opened that vnto the but my father which is in heuen.

⁴³ He sayde vnto them how then doeth Dauid in sprete, call him Lorde sayinge:

³⁹ But Iesus sayde: forbyd him not. For ther is no man whych (yf he do a myracle in my name) can lyghtely speake euill of me.

¹³ Ye call me master and Lorde, and ye saye well, for so am I.

²⁶ But when the comforter is come, whom I will sende vnto you from the father (euen the sprete of treuth, which proceadeth of the father) he shall testifye of me.

¹⁴ He shal glorify me, for he shall receaue of myne, & shall shewe vnto you. ¹⁵ All thynges that the father hath, are myne. Therfore sayde I vnto you, that he shall take of myne and shewe vnto you.

³ For I haue wysshed my selfe to be cursed from Chryst, for my brethren (my kynsmen as pertaynynge to the flesshe)

⁹ For yf thou knowledge with thy mouth that Iesus is the Lorde, & beleue in thyne hert, that God raysed hym vp from deeth, thou shalt be safe.

⁶ yet vnto vs is there but one God, which is the father, of whom are all thinges, & we for him & one Lord Iesus Christ, by whom are all thinges, and we by him.

²² If eny man loue not the Lord Iesus Christ, the same be Anathema maranatha.

⁵ not that we are sufficient of oure selues to thynke eny thyng, as of our selues: but yf we be able vnto any thinge the same commeth of God,

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.

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,

² Herby shall ye knowe the sprete of God. Euery sprete that confesseth that Iesu Christ is come in the fleshe is of God. ³ And euery sprete which confesseth not that Iesus Christ is come in the flesshe, is not of God. And this is that sprete of Antichrist, of whom ye haue hearde, howe that he shulde come: and euen now alredy is he in the worlde.

¹⁰ I was in the sprete on a sondaye, & herde behynde me a great voyce, as it had bene of a trompe,

⁴ For as we haue many membres in one body, and all members haue not one office: ⁵ so we beynge many, are one body in Chryst, and euery man among oure selues, one anothers members. ⁶ Seynge that we haue diuers gyftes accordynge to the grace that is geuen vnto vs: yf eny man haue the gyft of prophesye, let him haue it that it be agreyng vnto the fayth.

²⁸ And God hath also ordeyned in the congregacyon, fyrst Apostles, secondarely prophetes, thrydly teachers, then them that do myracles: after that, the gyftes of healyng, helpers, gouerners, diuersitye of tonges.

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.

⁴ God bearynge wytnes therto, both with sygnes & wonders also & with diuers myracles, & gyftes of the holy gooste, accordynge to hys awne wyll.

¹⁰ As euery man hath receaued the gyfte, euen so mynister the same one to another, as good mynisters of the manyfolde grace of God.

¹⁰ Nether be ye called masters, for one is youre master, euen Chryst.

³⁶ Ye knowe the preachynge that God sent vnto the children of Israel, preachyng peace by Iesu Christ, which is Lord ouer all thynges.

⁶ Seynge that we haue diuers gyftes accordynge to the grace that is geuen vnto vs: yf eny man haue the gyft of prophesye, let him haue it that it be agreyng vnto the fayth. ⁷ Let hym that hath an office wayte on his office. Let him that teacheth take hede to hys doctryne. ⁸ Let hym that exhorteth, geue attendaunce to his exhortacion. If eny man geue, let hym do it with synglenes. Let hym that ruleth, do it wit diligence. If eny man shewe mercy, let hym do it with cherfulnes.

⁸ For none of vs lyueth for hym selfe, and no man dyeth for hym selfe. For yf we lyue, we lyue vnto the Lorde. And yf we dye, we dye vnto the Lord. Whether we lyue therfore, or dye, we are the Lordes. ⁹ For Christ therfore dyed, and rose agayne, and reuyued, that he myght be Lorde of deed and quycke.

²⁸ And God hath also ordeyned in the congregacyon, fyrst Apostles, secondarely prophetes, thrydly teachers, then them that do myracles: after that, the gyftes of healyng, helpers, gouerners, diuersitye of tonges. ²⁹ Are all Apostles? Are all Prophetes? Are all teachers? Are all doars of miracles?

¹¹ And the very same made some Apostles, some Prophetes, some Euangelistes, some Shepherdes and Teachers: ¹² to the edifyenge of the saynctes, to the worke and ministracyon, euen to the edifyinge of the body of Chryst,

¹¹ and that all tonges shulde confesse, that Iesus Christ is the Lorde, vnto the prayse of God the father.

²⁹ Lo, thus worcketh God allwaye with man,

¹⁷ And Iesus answered them. My father worketh hitherto, and I worke.

⁷ So then, nether is he that planteth eny thyng, nether he that watreth, but God that geueth the encreace.

¹¹ But these all worketh euen the selfe same sprete, diuidynge to euery man a seuerall gyfte, euen as he wyll.

²⁸ When all thynges are subdued vnto him, then shall the sonne also him selfe be subiect vnto him, that put all thynges vnder him, that God maye be all in all.

¹⁹ and what is the excedinge greatnes of his power to vs warde, which beleue accordynge to the workynge of that his mighty power, ²⁰ which he wrought in Christ, when he raysed him from the deed, and set him on his ryght hande in heauenly thinges, ²¹ aboue all rule, & power, & myght and dominion, and aboue euery name that is named, not in this worlde onely, but also in the worlde to come: ²² and hath put all thynges vnder his fete, and hath made him aboue all thinges the heed of the congregacyon, ²³ which is his body and the fulnes of him, that fylleth all in all.

⁶ one God and father of all, which is aboue all and thorowe all, and in you all.

¹³ For it is God, which worketh in you, both the wyll and also the dede, euen of good wyll.

²⁹ Wherin I also laboure and stryue, euen as farforth as his strength worketh in me myghtely.

¹¹ where is nether Gentyle nor Iewe, circumcisyon nor vncircumcisyon, Barbarous or Sythian, bonde or fre: but Christ is all in all thinges.

²¹ make you parfect in all good workes, to do hys wyll, and bryng to passe, that the thyng which ye do, maye be pleasaunt in his syght thorowe Iesus Christ. To whom be prayse for euer whyle the world endureth. Amen.

¹⁴ Lykewise as a certeine man ready to take his iorney to a straunge countre, called his seruauntes, & delyuered vnto them hys goodes. ¹⁵ And vnto one he gaue .v. talentes, to another .ij. & to another one: to euery man after his habilite, & streight waye departed. ¹⁶ Then he that had receaued the fyue talentes, went, & occupied wt the same, & wanne other fyue talentes. ¹⁷ Lykewyse also, he that receaued two, gayned other two. ¹⁸ But he that receaued that one, went & dygged in the erth, and hid his Lordes money. ¹⁹ After a longe season, the Lorde of those seruauntes came, and rekened wyth them. ²⁰ And so he that had receaued fyue talentes came, & brought other fyue talentes, sayinge: Sir, thou delyueredst vnto me fyue talentes: beholde, I haue gayned with them fyue talentes moo: ²¹ His Lord sayde vnto him: well thou good and faythfull seruaunt. Thou hast bene faythfull ouer fewe thinges, I wyll make the ruler ouer many thinges: entre thou into the ioye of thy Lorde. ²² He also that had receaued two talentes, came and sayde: Sir, thou delyueredst vnto me two talentes: beholde, I haue wone two other talentes with them: ²³ his Lord sayd vnto him: well good & faythfull seruaunt. Thou hast bene faythfull ouer fewe thinges. I will make the ruler ouer many thinges: Entre thou into the ioye of thy Lorde. ²⁴ Then he whych had receaued the one talent, came, & sayd: Sir I knewe the that thou art an harde man: reaping where thou hast not sowen, & gathering where thou hast not strawed, ²⁵ and therfore was I afrayde, & went, and hyd thy talent in the erth: lo, there thou hast that thine is. ²⁶ His lord answered & sayd vnto him thou euyll & slowthfull seruaunt, thou knewest, that I reape where I sowed not, & gather, where I haue not strawed: ²⁷ thou oughtest therfore to haue delyuered my money to the exchaungers, & then at my commynge shulde I haue receaued myne awne with vauntage. ²⁸ Take therfore the talent from hym, & geue it vnto hym which hath ten talentes. ²⁹ For vnto euery one that hath shalbe geuen, and he shall haue aboundance: But he that hath not, from hym shalbe taken awaye, euen that which he hath. ³⁰ And cast the vnprofytable seruaunt into vtter dercknes there shalbe wepinge and gnasshinge of teeth.

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.

¹² Euen so ye (for as moche as ye couet spretuall gyftes) seke, that ye maye excell, vnto the edifyinge of the congregacyon.

¹⁷ Thou verely geuest thankes well, but the other is not edified.

¹⁹ Yet had I leuer in the congregacion, to speake fyue wordes with my vnderstonding to the informacion of other rather then ten thousand wordes with the tonge.

²² Wherfore tonges are for a sygne, not to them that beleue: but to them that beleue not. Contrary wyse, prophesyinge serueth not for them that beleue not: but for them which beleue. ²³ If therfore, when all the congregacyon is come together, and all speake with tonges, ther come in they that are vnlearned, or they which beleue not: will they not saye, that ye are out of youre wittes? ²⁴ But and yf all prophesye, and ther come in one that beleueth not, or one vnlearned, he is rebuked of all men, & is iudged of euery man, ²⁵ & so are the secretes of his hert opened, and so falleth he downe on his face, and worshyppeth God, & sayth, that God is in you of a trueth. 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:

⁷ Unto euery one of vs is geuen grace, accordynge to the measure of the gyfte of Chryst. ⁸ Wherfore he sayth: whan he went vp an hye, he ledde captiuitye captyue, and gaue gyftes vnto men. ⁹ That he ascended: what meaneth it? but that he also descended fyrst into the lowest partes of the erth? ¹⁰ He that descended, is euen the same also that ascended vp, aboue all heauens, to fulfyll all thynges.

¹⁰ As euery man hath receaued the gyfte, euen so mynister the same one to another, as good mynisters of the manyfolde grace of God. ¹¹ If eny man speake, let him talke as the wordes of God. If eny man mynister, let him do it as of the abylite, whych God mynystreth vnto hym. That God in all thynges maye be glorifyed thorow Iesus Christ, to whom be prayse and dominion for euer and euer. Amen.

³⁸ Then sayde Pharao vnto hys seruauntes: where shall we fynde soch a man as thys is, in whom is the sprete of God? ³⁹ And Pharao sayde vnto Ioseph: for as moche as God hath shewed the all thys, there is no man of vnderstondynge or of wysdome lyke vnto the.

³ And I haue fylled hym wt sprete of God, in wysdome, & vnderstandynge, in knowledge & in all maner worke,

⁵ and in Gibeon the Lorde apeared to Salomon in a dreame by nyght. And God sayde: aske what thou wylt, that I maye geue it the. ⁶ And Salomon sayde: thou haste shewed vnto thy seruaunt Dauid my father great mercy, when he walked before the in trueth, in ryghtewesnes, & in playnesse of hert with the. And thou hast kepte for hym this greate mercy, that thou hast geuen hym a sonne, to sytt on hys seate: as it is come to passe thys daye. ⁷ And nowe, O Lord my God, it is thou that hast made thy seruaunt kynge in steade of Dauid my father, And I am but yonge, and wote not howe to go out and in. ⁸ And thy seruaunt is in the myddes of thy people, which thou haste chosen. And verely, the people are so manye, that they cannot be tolde nor nombred for multitude. ⁹ Geue therfore vnto thy seruaunt an vnderstandynge hert, to iudge thy people, that I maye decerne betwene good and bad. For who is able to iudge thys, thy so myghtye a people? ¹⁰ And thys pleased the Lorde well, that Salomon had desyred thys thynge. ¹¹ And God sayde vnto him: because thou hast asked this thynge, and hast not asked longe lyfe, nether hast asked ryches, nor the soule of thyne enemyes, but hast asked vnderstandynge and discrecyon in iudgement. ¹² Beholde, I haue done accordynge to thy peticyon. For I haue geuen the a wyse and an vnderstandynge herte, so that there was none like the before the, nether after the shal eny aryse lyke vnto the.

²⁰ And thou gauest them thy good sprete, to enfourme them, and withheldest not thy Manna from theyr mouth, and gauest them water when they were thyrstye.

⁸ Euery man (no doute) hath a mynde, but it is the inspiracion of the Almyghty that geueth vnderstandinge.

¹⁰ Teach me to do the thynge that pleaseth the, for thou art my God, let thy louinge sprete leade me forthe vnto the lande of ryghteousnes.

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

² The sprete of the Lord shall lyght vpon hym: the sprete of wysdome, and vnderstandynge: the sprete of councell, & strength the sprete of knowledge, and of the feare of the Lorde: ³ and shall make hym feruent in the feare of God. For he shall not geue sentence, after the thyng that shal be brought before his eyes, nether reproue a matter at the fyrst hearing:

⁴ The Lorde God hath geuen me a well lerned tonge, so that I can confort them which are troubled: yee, and that in due ceason. He wakeneth myne eare vp by tymes in the mornynge: by tymes in the morninge, I saye, he will waken myne eare, that I myght herken as to the scole masters.

²¹ I wyll make thys couenaunt wyth them (sayth the Lorde:) My sprete that is vpon the, and the wordes which I haue put in thy mouth, shall neuer go out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy chylders chyldren, from thys tyme forth for euermore worlde wythout ende sayth the Lorde.

²¹ he chaungeth the tymes and ages he putteth downe kynges, he setteth vp kynges: he geueth wysdome vnto the wyse, & vnderstandinge to those that vnderstande,

¹¹ He answered and sayde vnto them: it is geuen vnto you to knowe the secretes of the kyngdome of heauen, but to them it is not geuen.

³ Wherfore brethren, loke ye out amonge you seuen men of honeste report, and full of the holy ghost and wisdom, to whom we maye committe this busynes.

⁵ that in all thynges ye are made ryche by hym, in all vtteraunce & in all knowlegde,

³⁰ And of hym are ye, in Chryst Iesu, whych of God is made vnto vs, wysdome, & rightwesnes, and sanctifyinge, and redempcyon.

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) ⁷ but we speake the wysdome of God, whych is in secrete & lyeth hyd, which God ordeyned before the worlde, vnto oure glory: 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. ⁹ But as it is written. The eye hath not sene, and the eare hath not heard, nether haue entred into the hert of man, the thynges which God hath prepared for them that loue hym. ¹⁰ But God hath opened them vnto vs by his sprete. For the sprete searcheth all thinges, ye the botome of Goddes secretes.

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.

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.

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,

⁸ Heale the sycke, clense the lepers, rayse the deed, cast out deuyls. Frely ye haue receaued: geue frely.

¹⁹ Then came the disciples to Iesus secretly & sayde: Why could not we cast hym out? ²⁰ Iesus sayd vnto them: Because of youre vnbelefe. For verely I saye vnto you: yf ye haue fayth as a grayne of musterd seed, ye shall saye vnto this mountayne: remoue hence to yonder place, and it shall remoue: nether shal eny thinge be vnpossible vnto you.

²¹ Iesus answered, and sayd vnto them: Uerely I saye vnto you yf ye haue fayth & dout not, ye shal not onely do this that is happened vnto the fygge tree: but also yf ye shall saye vnto this mountayne, remoue, & cast thy selfe into the see, it shalbe done.

¹³ & they cast out many deuyls: & annoynted many that were sycke wyth oyle, and healed them.

²² And Iesus answered and sayde vnto them: haue confydens in God. ²³ Uerely I saye vnto you, that whosoeuer shall saye vnto thys mountayne: remoue, and cast thy selfe into the see, and shall not doute in hys herte, but shall beleue that those thinges which he sayeth shal come to passe, whatsoeuer he sayeth he shall haue.

¹⁸ they shall dryue awaye serpentes. And yf they drynke any deadly thynge, it shall not hurte them. They shall laye their handes on the sycke, & they shall recouer.

² And he sent them to preache the kyngdome of God, and to heale the syck.

⁹ and heale the sicke that are therin, and saye vnto them: the kingdome of God is come nye vpon yo

⁵ And the Apostles sayde vnto the Lorde: increase oure fayth. ⁶ And the Lorde sayde: yf ye had fayth lyke a grayne of mustarde sede, & shuld saye vnto this Sycamyne tree, plucke thy selfe vp by the rootes, and plant thy selfe in the see: it shulde obey you.

⁶ Then sayde Peter: Syluer and golde haue I none such as I haue, geue I the. In the name of Iesus Chryst of Nazareth, ryse vp and walke. ⁷ And he toke hym by the ryght hand, and lyfte hym vp. And immediatly hys fete and anclebones receaued strength. ⁸ And he sprange, stode, and walked, and entred with them into the temple, walkynge, and leapynge, and praysynge God.

²⁹ And now Lorde, beholde their threatenynges, and graunte vnto thy seruauntes, that with all confydence they maye speake thy worde. ³⁰ So that thou stretche forth thyne hande, that healynge and sygnes and wonders be done by the name of thy holy chylde Iesus. ³¹ And assone as they had prayed the place moued where they were assembled together and they were all fylled with the holy Goost, and they spake the worde of God boldely.

¹⁵ in so moch that they brought the sycke into the stretes, and layde them on beddes and couches, that at the least waye the shadowe of Peter when he came by, myght shadowe some of them,

³⁸ how God anoynted Iesus of Nazareth wt the holy ghost, and with power. Which Iesus went about doynge good, and healynge all that were oppressed of the deuyll, for God was with him.

¹¹ And God wrought speciall myracles by the handes of Paul: ¹² so that from his body, were brought vnto the sicke, napkins & partelettes, & the diseases departed from them, and the euyll spretes went out of them.

³⁰ Haue all the gyftes of healinge? Do all speake with tonges? Do all interprete?

¹³ But seynge that we haue the same sprete of fayth (accordynge as it is wrytten: I beleued, and therfore haue I spoken.) We also beleue, and therfore speake

⁸ For by grace are ye made safe thorow fayth, and that not of youre selues. It is the gyfte of God,

³³ Which thorow faith subdued kingdomes wrought righteousnes: obteyned the promyses: stopped the mouthes of lyons:

¹⁴ If eny be diseased amonge you, let hym call for the elders of the congregacyon, and let them praye ouer him, & anoynte him with oyle in the name of the Lorde, ¹⁵ and the prayer of fayth shall saue the sycke, and the Lord shal rayse him vp: and yf he haue commytted synnes, they shalbe forgeuen hym.

²⁵ And the Lorde came downe in a cloud, and spake vnto hym, and toke of the sprete that was vpon hym, and gaue it vnto the .lxx. elders. And it fortuned that when the sprete rested vpon them, they prophecied, & did not ceasse. ²⁶ But there remayned two of the men in the hoost: the name of the one was Eldad, and the name of the other Medad. And the sprete rested vpon them, and they were of them that were wrytten, and went not out vnto the tabernacle, but prophecied in the hoost. ²⁷ And there ran a yong man, and tolde Moses and sayd: Eldad and Medad do prophecye in the hooste. ²⁸ And Iosua the sonne of Nun the seruaunt of Moses one of hys yonge men, answered & sayde: master Moses, forbyd them. ²⁹ And Moses sayde vnto hym: enuyest thou for my sake? wolde God that all the Lordes people coulde prophecye, and that the Lorde wold put hys sprete vpon them.

¹⁰ And when they came to the hill: beholde, the companye of prophetes met hym, and the sprete of God cam vpon hym also, & he prophesyed among them. ¹¹ And all that knewe hym before, when they sawe that he prophesyed amonge the prophetes, they sayd eche to other: what is this that is happened vnto the sonne of Cis? Is Saul also amonge the prophetes? ¹² And one of the same place answered & sayde: who is their father? And therof came the prouerbe: what, is Saul also amonge the prophetes? ¹³ And when he had made an ende of prophesyeng, he cam to the hill.

²⁰ And Saul sent messengers to fett Dauid. And when they sawe a companye of prophetes prophesyenge, & Samuel standynge fast by them, the sprete of God fell vpon the messengers of Saul, and they prophesyed to. ²¹ And when it was tolde Saul, he sent other messengers, & they prophesyed lykewyse. And Saul sent messengers yet agayne the thyrde tyme, and they prophesyed also. ²² Then went he hym selfe to Rama, & came to a great well that is in Sechu, & he asked and sayde: where are Samuel and Dauid? And one sayde: Beholde, they be at Naioth in Rama, ²³ & he went thyther, euen to Naioth in Rama, and the sprete of God came vpon him also, & he went prophesyinge, vntyll he came to Naioth in Rama. ²⁴ And he stripte of his clothes, & prophesyed before Samuel in lyke maner, and fell naked all that daye & all that nyght. And therof it is, that they saye: is Saul also amonge the prophetes?

¹ These be the last sayinges of Dauid. Dauid the sonne of Isay sayde. And the man (which was made, the anoynted of the God of Iacob, and the noble Psalmist of Israel) sayde: ² the sprete of the Lorde spake by me, & his worde was in my tonge.

²⁸ After this, will I poure out my sprete vpon all flesh: and your sonnes and your daughters shall prophecy: your olde men shall dreame dreames, and youre yonge men shall se visyons,

¹⁷ And these tokens shall folowe them that beleue. In my name they shall cast out deuyls, they shall speake with newe tonges,

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

⁴⁹ And beholde, I will sende the promes of my father vpon you. But tary ye in the cytie of Ierusalem, vntyll ye be endewed wyth power from an hye.

¹² Uerely verely, I saye vnto you: he that beleueth on me, the worckes that I do, the same shal he do also, & greater worckes then these shall he do, because I go vnto my father.

¹³ Howbeit when he is come (which is the sprete of treuth) he will leade you into all treuthe. He shall not speake of hym selfe: but whatsoeuer he shall heare, that shall he speake, and he will shewe you thinges to come.

⁸ but ye shal receaue power after that the holy goost is come vpon you. And ye shalbe witnesses vnto me not onely in Ierusalem, but also in all Iewry and in Samary, and euen vnto the worldes ende.

⁴ and they were all fylled with the holy goost, and beganne to speake with other tonges, euen as the same sprete gaue them vtteraunce. ⁵ Ther were dwellyng at Ierusalem, Iewes, deuoute men, out of euery nacyon of them that are vnder heauen. ⁶ When thys was noysed aboute, the multitude came together, & were astonnyed, because that euery man hearde them speake with his awne langage. ⁷ They wondred all, and marueyled, sayinge among them selues: beholde, are not all these which speake, of Galile? ⁸ And how heare we euery man his awne tong, wherin we were borne? ⁹ Parthians, and Medes and Elamytes, and the inhabiters of Mesopotamia, and of Iury, and of Capadocia, of Ponthus and Asia, ¹⁰ Phrygia, and Pamphilia, of Egypte, and of the partyes of Lybia which is besyd? Syren, and straungers of Rome, Iewes & Proselites. ¹¹ Grekes and Arabians: we haue herd them speake in oure awne tonges the greate worckes of God. ¹² They were all amased, and wondred sayinge one to another: what meaneth this?

¹⁷ And it shalbe in the last dayes, sayth God: of my sprete I wyll poore out vpon all flesshe. And youre sonnes & youre daughters shall prophesy, and youre yonge men shall se vysyons, and youre olde men shall dreame dreames. ¹⁸ And on my seruauntes, & on my hande maydens I wyll poore out of my sprete in those dayes, and they shall prophesye.

²⁹ Ye men and brethren, let me frely speake vnto you of the patriarke Dauid: For he is both deed and buryed, and hys sepulchre remayneth with vs vnto this daye. ³⁰ Therfore, seinge he was a Prophet, and knewe that God had sworne with an othe to him, that Christ (as concerninge the flessh) shulde come of the frute of his loynes, and on hys seat,

³ But Peter sayde: Ananias, how is it, that Sathan hath fylled thyne hert, that thou shuldest lye vnto the holy goost, and kepe awaye parte of the pryce of the lande?

⁴⁶ For they hearde them speake with tonges, & magnify God. Then answered Peter: ⁴⁷ can eny man forbyd water, that these shuld not be baptysed, which haue receaued the holy ghost as well as we?

²⁸ And there stode vp one of them named Agabus, and sygnifyed by the sprete, that there shuld be greate derth thorow out all the world, which came to passe in the Emperoure Claudius dayes.

⁶ And whan Paul layde hys handes vpon them. the holy ghost came on them, and they spake with tonges, and prophesyed,

⁹ The same man had fower daughters virgens, which dyd prophesy. ¹⁰ And as we taryed there a good mayny of dayes, there cam a certaine prophet from Iurie, named Agabus.

⁶ Seynge that we haue diuers gyftes accordynge to the grace that is geuen vnto vs: yf eny man haue the gyft of prophesye, let him haue it that it be agreyng vnto the fayth.

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.

²⁸ And God hath also ordeyned in the congregacyon, fyrst Apostles, secondarely prophetes, thrydly teachers, then them that do myracles: after that, the gyftes of healyng, helpers, gouerners, diuersitye of tonges. ²⁹ Are all Apostles? Are all Prophetes? Are all teachers? Are all doars of miracles? ³⁰ Haue all the gyftes of healinge? Do all speake with tonges? Do all interprete?

¹ Though I spake with the tonges of men and of angels, and haue no loue. I am euen as sounding brasse, or as a tynklinge cymball. 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.

¹ Labour for loue, and couet spretuall gyftes: but most chefly that ye maye prophesye. ² For he that speaketh with the tonge, speaketh not vnto men, but vnto God. For no man heareth hym: Houbeit in the sprete he speaketh mysteries. ³ But he that prophesieth, speaketh vnto men for their edifyinge, for their exhortacion and for their comforte. ⁴ He that speaketh with the tonge, proffiteth him selfe: he that prophesieth, edifyeth the congregacion 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.

²³ If therfore, when all the congregacyon is come together, and all speake with tonges, ther come in they that are vnlearned, or they which beleue not: will they not saye, that ye are out of youre wittes? ²⁴ But and yf all prophesye, and ther come in one that beleueth not, or one vnlearned, he is rebuked of all men, & is iudged of euery man,

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: ²⁷ If eny man speake with tonge, let it be by two or at the most by thre, and that by course, and let another interprete it. ²⁸ But yf ther be no interpreter, let him kepe sylence in the congregacyon, and let him speake to him selfe and to God. ²⁹ Let the prophetes speake two, or thre, & let the other iudge.

³¹ For ye maye al prophesy one by one, that all maye learne, and that all maye haue comforte. ³² And the spretes of the prophetes are in the power of the Prophetes.

³⁹ Wherfore brethren, couet to prophesye, and forbyd not to speake with tonges.

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?

²⁰ Despyse not prophesyinges.

²⁰ So that ye fyrst know thys: that no prophecye in the scripture hath eny pryuate interpretacyon: ²¹ For the scripture came neuer by the wyll of man: but holy men of God spake, as they were moued by the holy goost.

¹ Dearly beloued beleue not euery sprete: but proue the spretes, whether they are of god or not, for many false prophetes are gone out into the worlde.

² I knowe thy workes, and thy labour, & thy pacience, and how thou cannest not forbeare them whych are euyll: and hast examined them whych saye they are Apostles, and are not: & hast founde them lyars,

³⁵ in comparyson of whom all they that dwell vpon the earth, are to be reputed as nothynge. He handleth according to his will, among the powers of heauen & amonge the inhabitours of the earth: and there is none that maye resyste his hande, or saye: what doest thou?

²⁶ verely father, euen so was it thy good pleasure.

¹⁵ Is it not lawfull for me to do as me lysteth wt myne awne goodes? Is thyne eye euyll, because I am good?

⁸ The wynde bloweth where it lysteth, & thou hearest the sounde therof but canst not tell whence it commeth & whether it goeth. So is euery one that is borne of the sprete.

²⁷ Iohn answered, & sayde: a man can receaue nothinge, except it be geuen him from heauen.

²¹ For lykewyse as the father rayseth vp the deed, and quyckeneth them, euen so the sonne quyckeneth whom he wyll

¹⁸ So hath he mercye on whom he wyll, and whom he wyll, he maketh harde herted.

⁷ For I wolde that all men were as I my selfe am: but euery man hath his proper gyfte of God, one after this manner, another after that.

¹⁷ but euen as God hath distributed to euery man. As the Lorde hath called euery man, so let hym walke: and so ordeyn I in all congregacyons.

⁴ Ther are diuersites of gyftes, yet but one sprete.

⁶ And ther are dyuers maners of operacyons, and yet but one God whych worcketh all in all.

¹³ But we will not reioyce aboue measure: but accordynge to the measure of the rule, which God hath distributed vnto vs, a measure to reache euen vnto you.

¹¹ euen by hym by whom we are made heyres, and were therto predestinate accordynge to the purpose of hym by whose power all thynges are wrought accordinge to the purpose of hys awne wyll:

⁷ Unto euery one of vs is geuen grace, accordynge to the measure of the gyfte of Chryst.

¹⁸ Of hys awne wyll begat he vs with the worde of trueth, that we shulde be the fyrst frutes of hys creatures.

⁴ For as we haue many membres in one body, and all members haue not one office: ⁵ so we beynge many, are one body in Chryst, and euery man among oure selues, one anothers members.

¹⁷ is not the breed whych we breake, partetakynge of the body of Chryst? because that we (though we be many) yet are one breed & one bodye, in as moche as we all are partakers of one bred.

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

¹⁶ To Abraham and hys seede were the promyses made. He sayth not in the seedes, as many: but in thy seede, as of one, which is Christ.

²³ which is his body and the fulnes of him, that fylleth all in all.

⁴ beynge one body, and one sprete, euen as ye are called in one hope of your callinge.

¹² to the edifyenge of the saynctes, to the worke and ministracyon, euen to the edifyinge of the body of Chryst,

¹⁵ But let vs folowe the trueth in loue, and in all thynges growe in hym, which is the heed, euen Christ, ¹⁶ in whom yf all the body be coupled and knet together thorow out euery ioynt wherwith one ministreth to another (accordynge to the operacyon as euery parte hath hys measure) he increaseth the body, vnto the edifyinge of it selfe thorowe loue.

²³ For the husbande is the wyues heed, euen as Chryst is the heed of the congregacyon, and the same is he that ministreth saluacion vnto the body.

³⁰ For we are members of his body, of his flesshe, and of hys bones.

¹⁸ And he is the heed of the body, euen of the congregacyon: he is the begynnynge and fyrst begotten of the deed, that in all thynges he myght haue the preeminence.

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:

¹⁹ & holdeth not the heed, wherof all the body by ioyntes and couples receaueth norisshment & is knet together, and encreaseth with the increasynge that commeth of God.

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.

¹ I Am come into my garden, O my sister, my spouse: I haue gathered my Myrre with my spyce. I haue eaten hony with my hony combe, I haue dronke my wyne with my mylke. Eate, O ye frendes, dryncke and be mery, O ye beloued.

¹⁷ When the thyrsty and poore seke water & fynde none, and when theyr tonge is drye of thyrst. I geue it them sayth the Lorde. I the God of Israel forsake them not. ¹⁸ I brynge forth floudes in the hylles, and welles in the playne feldes. I turne the wyldernes to ryuers, and the drye lande to condyttes of water.

³ For I shall powre water vpon the drye grounde, & ryuers vpon the thurstye. I shall poure my sprete vpon thy sede, and myne encrease vpon thy stock. ⁴ They shall growe together, lyke as the grasse, and as the wyllowes by the waters syde. ⁵ One shall saye: I am the Lordes. Another shall call hym selfe after the name of Iacob. The thyrde shall subscribe with hys hande vnto the Lorde, and geue him self vnder the name of Israel.

¹ Come to the waters all ye, that be thursty, and ye that haue no money. Come, bye, that ye maye haue to eate. Come, bye wyne and mylck, wythout any money, or money worth.

²⁵ Then will I poure cleare water vpon you, and ye shalbe clene: yee, from all your vnclennesse and from all your Idols shall I clense you. ²⁶ A new herte also will I geue you, and a new sprete will I put into you. As for that stony herte, I will take it out of youre body, & geue you a fleshly herte. ²⁷ I will geue my sprete amonge you & cause you to walcke in my commaundementes to kepe my lawes, and to fulfill them.

¹⁵ The Lord of hoostes shall defende them, they shal consume & deuoure, & subdue them with slynge stones. They shall dryncke & rage, as it were thorow wyne. They shalbe fylled lyke the basens, & as the hornes of the aulter. ¹⁶ The Lord their God shal delyuer them in the daye, as the flock of his people: ffor as precyous stones of a dyademe they shall be sett vp ouer his lande. ¹⁷ O how prosperous and goodly a thynge shal that be? The corne shall make the yonge men chearefull, and the new wyne the maydens.

¹¹ I baptyse you in water vnto repentaunce: but he that shall come after me is myghtyer then I, whose shoes I am not worthy to beare. He shall baptise you with the holy ghost and with fyre:

¹⁶ Iohn answered & sayde vn them all: I baptise you wyth water, but one stronger then I shall come after me, whose shoo latchet I am not worthy to vnlowse: he shall baptyse you with the holy goost, & wt fyre:

¹⁶ And of hys fulnes haue all we receaued, euen grace for grace.

³³ and I knewe hym not. But he that sent me to baptise in water, the same sayde vnto me: vpon whom thou shalt se the sprete descende, and tary styll on hym, the same is he whych baptiseth wyth the holy goost.

⁵ Iesus answered verely, verely, I saye vnto the: except a man be borne of water & of the sprete, he cannot enter into the kyngdom of God,

¹⁰ Iesus answered and sayde vnto hyr: yf thou knewest the gyfte of God, and who it is that sayeth to the geue me drincke, thou woldest haue asked of him, & he wolde haue geuen the water of lyfe.

¹⁴ But whosoeuer drincketh of the water that I shall geue him, shall neuer bemore a thyrst: but the water that I shall geue him, shalbe in him a well of water, spryngynge vp into euerlastinge lyfe.

⁶³ It is the sprete that quyckeneth, the flesh proffyteth nothinge. The wordes that I speake vnto you, are sprete and lyfe.

³⁷ In the last daye, that great daye of the feast Iesus stode, and cryed, sayinge: If eny man thyrst, lett him come vnto me, & drincke. ³⁸ He that beleueth on me (as sayeth the scripture) out of his belly shall flowe ryuers of water of lyfe. ³⁹ But this spake he of the sprete, whych they that beleue on him, shulde receaue. For the holy goost was not yet there, because Iesus was not yet glorifyed.

⁵ For Iohn truly baptysed with water, but ye shalbe baptysed with the holy goost after these feawe dayes.

²⁹ Is he the God of the Iewes onely? Is he not also the God of the Gentyls? Yes, euen of the Gentyls also.

¹¹ And he receaued the sygne of circumcisyon, as a seale of the ryghtewesnes of fayth, whych he had yet beynge vncircumcysed, that he shulde be the father of all them that beleue, though they be not circumcised, that ryghtewesnes myght be imputed to them also:

³ Knowe ye not that all we whych are baptysed into Iesu Christe are baptysed to dye wyth him? ⁴ We are buryed then with him by baptyme, for to dye: that lyke wyse as Christ was raysed vp from deeth by the glorye of the father, euen so we also shulde walke in a newe lyfe. ⁵ For yf we be graft in deeth lyke vnto hym: euen so shall we be partakers of the resurreccyon: ⁶ knowyng thys, that oure olde man is crucifyed with hym also, that the body of sinne myght vtterly be destroyed, that hence forth we shuld not be seruauntes vnto synne.

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. ¹⁰ If Chryst be in you, the body is deed because of synne: but the spryte is lyfe for ryghtewesnes sake. ¹¹ Wherfore, yf the spryte of hym that raysed vp Iesus from deeth, dwell in you: euen he that raysed vp Chryst from deeth, shall quycken youre mortall bodyes, because of hys sprete that dwelleth in you.

²¹ Art thou called a seruaunt? care not for it. Neuerthelesse yf thou mayst be fre, vse it rather. ²² For he that is called in the Lorde, beynge a seruaunt, is the Lordes freman. Lykewyse he that is called beynge fre, is Christes seruaunt.

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

²³ But before that fayth came, we were kepte vnder the lawe, and were shut vp vnto the fayth which shulde afterwarde be declared.

²⁸ There is no Iewe, nether Gentyll: there is nether bonde, ner fre: there is nether man, ner woman. For ye are all one in Christ Iesu.

¹¹ Wherfore, remember that ye beynge in tyme passed gentyls in the flesshe, were called vncircumcisyon from that whych is called circumcisyon in the flesshe, which circumcision is made by handes: ¹² remember (I saye) that at that tyme ye were without Chryst, beynge aliauntes from the comen welth of Israel, and straungers from the testamentes of the promes hauynge no hope, and beynge with out God in this worlde. ¹³ But nowe by the meanes of Christ Iesu, ye which somtyme were farre of, are made nye by the bloude of Chryst. ¹⁴ For he is oure peace, which hath made of both one, and hath broken downe the wall that was a stoppe betwene vs, ¹⁵ and hath also put awaye thorowe his flesshe, the cause of hatred, euen the lawe of commaundementes contayned in the lawe wrytten, for to make of twayne one newe man in hym selfe, so makynge peace, ¹⁶ and to reconcyle both vnto God in one body thorowe the crosse, & slewe hatred therby: ¹⁷ and came, and preached peace to you which were a farre of, and to them that were nye. ¹⁸ For thorowe hym we both haue an intraunce, in one sprete vnto the father. ¹⁹ Now therfore, ye are not straungers, and foreyners: but citesyns with the sayntes & of the housholde of God: 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,

⁵ One Lorde, one fayth, one baptyme

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

⁸ Knowynge thys, that whatsoeuer good thynge eny man doeth, the same shall he receaue agayne of God, whether he be bonde or fre.

²⁷ to whom God wolde make knowen what the gloryous ryches of thys mystery is amonge the Gentyls, which ryches is Chryst in you, the hope of glory,

¹¹ by whom also ye are circumcised with circumcisyon which is done with out handes, for asmoche as ye haue put of the synfull body of the flesshe thorowe the circumcisyon that is in Christ, ¹² in that ye are buried with hym thorowe bapti me, in whom ye are also rysen agayne thorowe fayth, that is wrought by the operacyon of God which raysed him from deeth.

⁴ But after that the kyndnes and loue of oure saueoure God to man warde appeared, ⁵ not by the dedes of rightewesnes which we wrought, but accordynge to hys mercye he saued vs by the fountayne of the newe byrth, and renuynge of the holy goost, ⁶ which he shedd on vs abountdantly, thorowe Iesus Christ oure saueoure,

²¹ like as baptyme also now saueth vs, not the puttynge awaye of the fylth of the flesshe, but in that a good conseyence consenteth to God, by the resurreccyon of Iesus Christ,

¹² For as the body is one, and hath many membres, and all the membres of one body though they be many, yet are but one bodye, euen so is Christ.

¹⁹ If they were all one member: where were the bodye?

²⁷ Ye are the body of Christ, and membres one of another. ²⁸ And God hath also ordeyned in the congregacyon, fyrst Apostles, secondarely prophetes, thrydly teachers, then them that do myracles: after that, the gyftes of healyng, helpers, gouerners, diuersitye of tonges.

²⁵ Wherfore, put awaye lyinge, & speake euery man truth vnto his neyghboure, for as moche as we are members one of another.

⁸ The trees went forth to anoynt a king ouer them, and sayde vnto the olyue tree: raygne thou ouer vs. ⁹ But the olyue tree sayd vnto them: shulde I leaue my fattenesse, whych both goddes and men prayse in me, and go to be promoted ouer the trees? ¹⁰ And the trees sayde to the fygge tree: come thou, and be king ouer vs. ¹¹ The figge tree answered them: shuld I forsake my swetnes, and my good frute, and go to be promoted ouer the trees? ¹² Then sayde the trees vnto the vyne: come thou and be kyng ouer vs. ¹³ The vyne sayde vnto them: shuld I leaue my wyne wherby I cheare bothe goddes and men, and go to be promoted ouer the trees? ¹⁴ Then sayde all the trees vnto the fyrre bushe: come thou, & raygne ouer vs. ¹⁵ And the fyrre bushe sayde vnto the trees: yf it be true that ye will anoynt me kynge ouer you, then come, & put youre trust vnder my shadowe. Yf no, the fyre come out of the firre busshe, and waste the Cedre trees of Libanon.

⁹ And Iehoas the kynge of Israel sent to Amaziahu kynge of Iuda, sayinge: dyd not a thystle that is in libanon, sende to a Cedre tre that is in Libanon, sayinge: geue thy daughter to my sonne to wyfe: And the wylde beaste that was in Libanon, went and troade downe the thistell.

³ For I saye (thorowe the grace that vnto me geuen is) to euery man amonge you, that noman stonde hye in his owne conceate, more then it becommeth hym to esteme of him selfe: but so iudge of hym selfe, that he be gentle and sober, accordynge, as God hath dealte to euery man the measure of fayth.

¹⁰ Be kynd one to another wich brotherly loue. In geuynge honoure, go one before another.

²² Yee rather a great deale those membres of the body which seme to be more feble, are necessary.

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.

⁹ Before tyme in Israel when a man went to seke an answere of God, thus wise he spake, come, and let vs go to the sear. For he that is now called a prophet, was in the olde tyme called a sear.

⁹ He that planted the eare, shall he not heare? Or he that made the eye, shall not he se?

¹³ For my reynes are thyne, thou hast couered me in my mothers wombe. ¹⁴ I will geue thankes vnto the: for I am fearfully & wonderously made: maruelous are thy workes, & that my soule knoweth right well. ¹⁵ My bones are not hyd from the, though I be made secretly and fasshioned beneth in the earth. ¹⁶ Thyne eyes dyd se my substaunce, yet being vnparfect: & in thy boke were all my membres written. Which daye by daye were fashyoned, when as yet there was none of them.

¹² The eare to heare, the eye to se: the Lorde hath made them both.

²¹ And the eye can not saye vnto the hande: I haue no nede of the. Agayne, the heed can not saye to the fete: I haue no nede of you.

²⁹ Are all Apostles? Are all Prophetes? Are all teachers? Are all doars of miracles?

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.

⁶ Whatsoeuer the Lorde pleased, that dyd he in heauen and in earth, in the see, & in all deape places:

¹⁰ In the begynnynge of a thynge. I shewe the ende therof: & I tell before, thinges that are not yet come to passe. My deuice stondeth, stedfastly stablyshed, & I fulfyll all my pleasure.

¹⁴ Wherfore they cryed vnto the Lord, & sayde: O Lord let vs not perysh for thys mans death, nether laye thou innocent bloude vnto our charge: for thou, O Lord, hast done, euen as thy pleasure was.

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.

³² Feare not lytell flocke, for it is youre fathers pleasure, to geue you the kyngdome.

⁵ What is Paul? What thynge is Apollo? Onely ministers are they by whom ye beleued, euen as the Lorde gaue euery man grace.

²⁴ For oure honest membres nede it not: But God hath so disposed the body, & hath geuen the more honoure to that parte whych lacked,

³⁸ but God geueth it a body at his pleasure, to euery seed his awne body.

⁵ Which ordeyned vs before thorowe Iesus Christ to be heyres vnto hym selfe, accordinge to the good pleasure of hys wyll,

⁹ And hath opened vnto vs the mystery of hys wyll, accordynge to hys good pleasure, which he had purposed in hym selfe,

¹¹ thou arte worthy o Lord to receaue glory, & honoure, and power, for thou hast created all thynges, & for thy willes sake they are, & were created.

¹⁴ For the body is not one member, but many.

³¹ He sayde: Oh naye, leaue vs not: for thou knowest oure mansyons in the wyldernesse: and thou hast bene to vs in steade of eyes. ³² And yf thou go with vs loke what goodnesse the Lorde sheweth vnto vs, the same wyll we shewe vnto the.

³² And Dauid sayd to Abigail: blessed be the Lorde God of Israel, which sent the this daye to mete me.

¹ And when Esdras prayed after this maner, & knowleged, wepte, & laye before the house of God, there resorted vnto him out of Israell a very greate congregacyon of men and wemen, and chyldren: & the people wepte very sore. ² And Sechania the sonne of Iehiel one of the children of Elam, answered, and sayde vnto Esdras. We haue trespaced agaynst oure God, and haue taken straunge wyues of the people of the land. Now there is hope yet in Israel concerning this thyng: ³ For now we wyll make a couenaunt with oure God, and put awaye all the wyues (and soch as are borne of them) accordinge to the councell of the Lord, and we wylbe in the feare of the commaundementes of oure God, that we maye do accordyng to the lawe. ⁴ Get the vp, for thys matter belongeth vnto the. We also wyll be wyth the, be of good conforte therfore, and do it. ⁵ Then rose Esdras, and toke an oth of the chefe preastes and Leuites, and of all Israell, that they shulde do accordynge to thys worde: & they sware.

¹⁶ And from that time forth it came to passe that the half parte of the yong men did the laboure, & the other half parte of them helde the speares, shyldes, bowes, and brestplates: & the rulers stode behynde all the house of Iuda, ¹⁷ which buylded on the wall, and bare burthens from those that laded them. With one hande dyd euery one worcke, & wt the other helde he hys weapen. ¹⁸ And euery one that buylded, had his swerd, gyrde by hys thygh, and so buylded they. And the trompet blewe besyde me. ¹⁹ And I sayd vnto the principal men, to the rulers, and to the other people: the worke is great and large, & we are separated vpon the wall one farre from another. ²⁰ Loke in what place therfore ye heare the noyse of the trompet, resorte ye thyther vnto vs, & our God shal fight for vs, ²¹ & we will be labouryng in the worcke. And the halfe part of them helde the speares from the mornyng spryng, tyll the starres came forth.

¹¹ When all they that herde me, called me happye: and when all they that sawe me, spake good of me.

²⁸ The increase and prosperite of the comens is the kynges honoure, but the decaye of the people is the confusyon of the Prynce.

⁹ Therfore, two are better then one, for they maye well enioye the profyt of theyr laboure. ¹⁰ For If one of them fall, his companyon helpeth him vp agayne: But wo is him that is alone, for yf he fall, he hath not another to helpe him vp. ¹¹ Agayne, when two slepe together, they are warme: but how can a body be warme alone? ¹² One maye be ouercome, but two maye make resistaunce: A threfold cable is not lyghtly broken.

⁹ The encrease of the erth vpholdeth all thinge, yea the kynge himselfe is mayntened by husbandrye.

¹⁴ There was a lytle citie, & a fewe men within it: so there came a greate kyng and beseged it, and made greate bulwarkes agaynst it. ¹⁵ And in the citie there was founde a poore man, (but he was wyse) which with hys wysdome delyuered the citye: yet was there no body, that had eny respect vnto soch a simple man.

¹¹ by the helpe of youre prayer for vs, that by the meanes of many persones, thankes maye be geuen of many on oure behalfe, for the gyfte geuen vnto vs.

⁹ Exhort seruauntes, to be obedient vnto their awne masters, & to please them in all thinges, not answering agayne, ¹⁰ nether to be pickers, but that they shewe all good faythfulnes, that they maye do worshippe to the doctrine of God oure saueoure in all thynges.

⁷ And the eyes of them both were opened: and they knewe that they were naked, & they sowed fygge leaues together, and made them selues aperns.

²¹ Unto the same Adam also & to hys wyfe dyd the Lorde God make lethren garmentes, & clothed them.

²⁵ and they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.

¹¹ And he sayde: Who tolde the, that thou wast naked? hast thou not eaten of the same tre, concernynge the which I commaunded the, that thou shuldest not eate of it?

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. ²⁴ Father, I will that they which thou hast geuen me be with me where I am, that they maye se my glory, which thou hast geuen me. For thou louedest me before the makyng of the worlde. ²⁵ O righteous father, the worlde also hath not knowen the: but I haue knowen the: and these haue knowen, that thou hast sent 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.

¹⁰ I beseche you brethren by the name of oure Lord Iesus Christ, that ye all speake one thinge, and that there be no dissencion amonge you: but that ye maye be a whole body: of one mynde and of one meanynge. ¹¹ For it is shewed vnto me (my brethren) of you, by them which are of the house of Cloe, that ther is stryfes amonge you. ¹² I speake of the same that euery one of you sayeth: I holde of Paul: I holde of Apollo: I holde of Cephas: I holde of Christ.

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

¹² Wherfore, though I wrote vnto you, I dyd it not for his cause that had done the hurt, nether for his cause that was hurte: but that youre good mynde for vs might appeare amonge you in the syght of God.

¹⁶ Thankes be vnto God, which put the same good mynde for you in the herte of Titus,

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.

¹⁵ Be mery with them that are mery. Wepe also with them that wepe.

²⁸ besyde the thinges which outwardly happen vnto me. I am combred daylye, and do care for all congregacyons. ²⁹ Who is weake, and I am not weake? who is offended, & I burne not?

² Beare ye one anothers burthen, and so fulfyll the lawe of Christ.

³ Remember them that are in bondes, euen as though ye were bounde wt them your selues. Be myndfull of them which are in aduersyte, as ye which are yet in the bodye.

⁸ In conclusyon, be ye all of one mynde, of one hart & loue as brethren, be petifull, be courteous

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

¹⁴ For the body is not one member, but many. ¹⁵ If the fote saye: I am not the hande, I am not of the body: is he therfore not of the body? ¹⁶ And yf the eare saye, I am not the eye, I am not of the body: is he therfore not of the body? ¹⁷ If all the body were an eye, where were then the eare? If all were hearynge: where were the smellynge? ¹⁸ But nowe hath God set the membres euery one seuerally in the body as it hath pleased him. ¹⁹ If they were all one member: where were the bodye? ²⁰ Nowe are there many membres, yet but one body.

¹⁷ And I will come downe, and talke with the there, and take of the sprete which is vpon the, and put vpon them, and they shall beare the burthen of the people with the, lest thou be constrayned to beare it alone.

¹⁴ Symon whom he also named Peter, & Andrew hys brother, Iames and Iohn, Philip & Bartholomew,

⁸ And how heare we euery man his awne tong, wherin we were borne? ⁹ Parthians, and Medes and Elamytes, and the inhabiters of Mesopotamia, and of Iury, and of Capadocia, of Ponthus and Asia, ¹⁰ Phrygia, and Pamphilia, of Egypte, and of the partyes of Lybia which is besyd? Syren, and straungers of Rome, Iewes & Proselites. ¹¹ Grekes and Arabians: we haue herd them speake in oure awne tonges the greate worckes of God.

¹ There were in the congregacyon that is at Antioche, certayn prophtes, and teachers: as Barnabas and Simon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cerene and Manahen, Herode the Tetrarkes norsfelow, and Saul. ² As they ministred to the Lorde and fasted, the holy ghost saide: separate me Barnabas and Saul, for the worcke wherunto I haue called them. ³ And whan they had fasted and prayed, and layde their handes on them, they let them go.

²⁸ Take hede therfore vnto youre selues & to all the flocke amonge whom the holy ghost hath made you ouersears, to rule the congregacyon of God which he hath purchased with his bloude.

³² Se that ye geue none occasyon of euyll, nether to the Iewes, nor yet to the gentyls, nether to the congregacyon of God:

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

²⁰ and are buylt vpon the foundacyon of the Apostles and Prophetes, Iesus Chryst him selfe beynge the heed corner stone,

⁵ which mistery in tymes passed was not opened vnto the sonnes of men, as it is nowe declared vnto hys holy Apostles and Prophetes by the sprete:

¹¹ And the very same made some Apostles, some Prophetes, some Euangelistes, some Shepherdes and Teachers: ¹² to the edifyenge of the saynctes, to the worke and ministracyon, euen to the edifyinge of the body of Chryst, ¹³ tyll we all come to the vnitye of fayth, and knowledge of the sonne of God, vnto a perfecte man, vnto the measure of the full perfecte age of Chryst

¹⁷ The elders that rule well, are worthy of double honoure, most specially they whych laboure in the worde & teachynge.

¹⁷ Obeye them that haue the ouer syght of you, & submyt your selues vnto them, for they watch for your soules, euen as they that must geue acomptes: that they maye do it with ioye, & not with grefe. For that is an vnproffitable thyng for you.

²⁴ Salute them that haue the ouersyght of you, and all the saynctes. They of Italy salute you.

¹ The elders which are amonge you, I exhorte, which am also an elder, and a wytnes of the affliccyons of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shalbe opened: ² Fede ye Christes flocke, asmoch as lyeth in you, takynge the ouersyght of them, not as compelled therto, but wyllyngly: not for the desyre of fylthy lucre: but of a good mynde, ³ not as though ye were lordes ouer the parisshes: but that ye be an ensample to the flock ⁴ And when the chefe sheperd shall appeare; yee shal receaue, an incorruptibile crowne of glorie.

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:

⁶ Blessed are they which honger and thyrst after ryghteousnes: for they shalbe satisfyed.

⁴² verely one is nedefull. Mary hath chosen the good parte, which shall not be taken awaye from her.

¹ As touchyng thinges offred vnto ymages, we are sure that we all haue knowledge. Knowledge maketh a man swell: but loue edifyeth.

¹ Though I spake with the tonges of men and of angels, and haue no loue. I am euen as sounding brasse, or as a tynklinge cymball.

¹ Labour for loue, and couet spretuall gyftes: but most chefly that ye maye prophesye.

⁸ ye I thynke all thynges but losse for the excellencye of the knowledge of Chryst Iesu my Lorde. For whom I haue counted all thynge losse, and do iudge them but vyle, that I maye wynne Chryst,

⁴ By fayth Abel offered vnto God a more plenteous sacryfyce then Cayn: by whych he obteyned witnes that he was ryghteous, God testyfyinge of his gyftes: by whych also he beyng deed, yet speaketh.
