1 Corinthians 14 Cross References - Great

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. 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. ²⁰ Brethren, be not ye chyldren in wytte. Howbeit, as concernyng maliciousnes, be children: but in witte be perfect. ²¹ In the lawe it is written with sondrie tonges, and with sondrye lyppes will I speake vnto this people, and yet for all that, will they not heare me, sayth the Lorde. 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: 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. ³⁰ If eny reuelacyon be made to another that sytteth by, let the fyrst holde his peace. 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. ³³ For God is not causer of stryfe: but of peace, as in all congregacions of the saynctes. ³⁴ Let youre wemen kepe sylence in the congregacions. For it is not permitted vnto them to speake: but to be vnder obedience, as sayth the lawe. ³⁵ If they wyll learne eny thynge, let them aske their husbandes at home. For it is a shame for wemen, to speake in the congregacion. ³⁶ Spronge the worde of God from you? Ether came it vnto you onely? 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. ³⁸ But and yf eny man be ignoraunt, let him be ignoraunt. ³⁹ Wherfore brethren, couet to prophesye, and forbyd not to speake with tonges. ⁴⁰ let all thynges be done honestly and in order

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.

⁹ The waye of the vngodly is an abhominacyon vnto the Lord: but whoso foloweth ryghteousnesse, hym he loueth.

²¹ Whoso foloweth ryghteousnesse and mercy, fyndeth bothe lyfe, ryghteousnesse, and honoure.

¹ Herken vnto me, ye that holde of righteousnes, & ye that seke the Lorde. Take hede vnto the stone, whereout ye are hewen, & to the graue wherout ye are dygged.

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 Let vs therfore folowe those thinges which make for peace, and thynges wherwith one maye edifye another.

¹ Concernynge spirituall thinges (brethren) I wolde not haue you ignoraunt.

³¹ Couet after the best gyftes. And yet shewe I vnto you a more excellent waye.

¹³ Nowe abydeth fayth, hope, and loue, euen these thre: but the chefe of these is loue.

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.

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.

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.

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

¹⁴ Let all youre busynes be done with loue.

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

⁷ in godlynes brotherly kyndnes, in brotherly kyndnes loue.

²³ They were not aware that Ioseph understode them, for he spake vnto them by an interpreter.

⁴⁹ And the Lord shall brynge a nacyon vpon the from a farre, and from the ende of the worlde, as swifte as an egle flyeth: a nacyon whose tonge thou shalt not vnderstande:

²⁶ And Eliakim the sonne of Helkia & Sobna, & Ioab sayde vnto Rabsake: speake (I praye the) to thy seruauntes in the Syrians language, for we vnderstande it: & talke not wt vs in the Iewes tonge, in the eares of this people that are on the wall.

³ My mouth shall speake of wysdome, and my hert shall muse of vnderstandyng. ⁴ I wyll enclyne myne eare to the parable, and shew my darcke speach vpon the harpe.

² I wyll open my mouth in a parable, I wyll declare hard sentences of olde.

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.

¹¹ And he sayde vnto them. To you is it geuen to knowe the mystery of the kyngdome of God. But vnto them that are with out, all thinges happen by parables:

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

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.

⁴⁶ For they hearde them speake with tonges, & magnify God. Then answered Peter:

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

⁹ And they that were wyth me, sawe verely a lyghte, and were afrayde: but they hearde not the voyce of hym that spake with me.

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,

⁷ but we speake the wysdome of God, whych is in secrete & lyeth hyd, which God ordeyned before the worlde, vnto oure glory:

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.

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.

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?

¹⁸ I thanke my God that I speake with tonges more then ye all. 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. ²⁰ Brethren, be not ye chyldren in wytte. Howbeit, as concernyng maliciousnes, be children: but in witte be perfect. ²¹ In the lawe it is written with sondrie tonges, and with sondrye lyppes will I speake vnto this people, and yet for all that, will they not heare me, sayth the Lorde. 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?

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.

⁵¹ Beholde, I shewe you a mistery. We shall not all slepe: but we shall all be chaunged,

³ For by reuelacion shewed he the mistery vnto me, as I wrote afore in feawe wordes ⁴ wherby when ye reade, ye maye vnderstand my knowledge in the mistery of Christ, 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: 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, ⁷ wherof I am made a mynyster, accordinge to the gyfte of the grace of God which is geuen vnto me after the workynge of hys power. ⁸ Unto me the least of all saynctes is this grace geuen, that I shulde preache amonge the Gentyls the vnsearcheable riches of Christ 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:

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

²⁶ that mistery which hath bene hyd sence the worlde beganne, and sence the begynnynge of generacyons: but nowe is opened to his saynctes, 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,

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,

⁹ but holdynge the mystery of the fayth with a pure conscience.

¹⁶ And without doute great is that mystery of godlynes: God was shewed in the flesshe, was iustifyed in the sprete, was sene amonge the Angels, was preached vnto the gentyls, was beleued on in the worlde, and receaued vp in glory.

⁷ but in the dayes of the voyce of the seuenth Angell, when he shall begyn to blowe: euen the mystery of God shalbe fynysshed, as he preached by his seruauntes the prophetes.

¹⁸ And many other thinges in his exhortacion preached he vnto the people.

³¹ Then had the congregacyons rest thorowout all Iewry, and Galile, and Samary, and were edifyed, and walked in the feare of the Lord, and multyplied by the comfort of the holy ghost.

¹⁵ And after the lecture of the lawe and the prophetes, the rulers of the synagoge sente vnto them, sayinge: Ye men and brethren, yf ye haue eny sermon to exhorte the people, saye on.

²² and strengthed the discyples soules agayne, and exhorted them to contynue in the fayth affirmynge that we must thorowe moche tribulacyon enntre into the kyngdome of God.

³² And Iudas & Sylas being Prophetes, exhorted the brethren with moch preachynge, & strengthed them.

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.

² Let euery man please hys neyghbour vnto hys welth and edifyinge.

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

²³ I maye do all thynges, but all thynges edifye not.

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.

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:

³¹ For ye maye al prophesy one by one, that all maye learne, and that all maye haue comforte.

⁴ whych comforteth vs in all oure tribulacyon, in so moche that we are hable to comforte them whych are in any maner of trouble, with the same comforte, wherwith we oure selues are comforted of God.

⁷ So that now contrary wyse, ye ought rather to forgeue him, and comforte him: lest that same persone shuld be swalowed vp wt ouer moch heuynes.

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 ¹⁴ That we hence forth shulde be nomore chyldren, wauerynge & caryed aboute with euery wynde of doctrine, by the wylynes of men, thorowe craftynes, wherby they laye a wayte for vs to deceaue vs. 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.

²⁹ Let no fylthy communicacion procede out of youre mouth: but that which is good to edifye wt all, as oft as nede is that it maye minister grace vnto the hearers.

²² whom I haue sent vnto you for the same purpose, that ye myght knowe what case we stande in, and that he myght comforte youre hertes.

⁸ whom I haue sent vnto you for the same purpose, that he myght knowe whath ye do, & that he myght comfort youre hertes,

³ For oure exhortacyon was not to brynge you to erroure, nor yet to vnclennes, nether was it wyth gyle:

¹¹ as ye knowe, how that we bare soch affeccyon vnto euery one of you, as a father doth vnto chyldren, exhortynge, confortyng, and besechyng you,

² and sent Timothe oure brother & mynyster of God, and the helper forth of oure laboure in the Gospell of Christ, to stablisshe you: and to conforte you concernyng our fayt

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.

¹⁸ Wherfore, comforte your selues one another wt these wordes.

¹¹ Wherfore, comforte your selues together, & edifye euery one another, euen as ye do. ¹² We beseche you brethren, that ye knowe them whych laboure amonge you, and haue the ouersyght of you in the Lorde, ¹³ & geue you exhortacyon, that ye haue them in hye reputacyon thorowe loue, for theyr workes sake, and be at peace with them. ¹⁴ We desyre you (brethren) warne them that are vnruly, comforte the feble mynded, lyft vp the weake, be pacient towarde all men.

¹² Them that are soch, we commaunde and exhorte, by oure Lorde Iesu Christ, that they worcke with quietnes, and eate theyr awne breed:

⁴ nether geue hede to fables & endles genealogyes whych brede doubtes more then Godlye edifyinge, which is by fayth

¹³ Tyll I come, geue attendaunce to readynge, to exhortacyon, to doctrine.

² Se that they whych haue beleuynge masters, despyse them not because they are brethren: but rather do seruyce, for as moch as they are beleuynge and beloued, & partakers of the benefyte.

² preache thou the worde, be feruent, in season & oute of season. Improue, rebuke, exhorte wt all longe sufferynge and doctryne.

⁹ and such as cleueth vnto the true worde of doctryne, that he maye be able also to exhorte by wholsome learnynge, & to improue them that saye agaynst it.

⁶ Yonge men lykewyse exhorte, that they be sobre mynded.

⁹ Exhort seruauntes, to be obedient vnto their awne masters, & to please them in all thinges, not answering agayne,

¹⁵ These thynges speake, and exhorte, and rebuke, with all feruentnes of commaundynge. Se that no man despyse the.

¹³ but exhorte ye one another dayly, while it is called to daye: lest eny of you wexe harde harted thorowe the deceytfulnesse of synne.

²⁵ not forsakynge the felishyppe that we haue among our selues, as the maner of some is: but let vs exhorte one another, & so moch the more, because ye se that the daye draweth nye.

²² I beseche you brethren, suffre the worde of exhortation: for we haue wrytten vnto you in feawe wordes.

¹² By Syluanus a faythfull brother vnto you (as I suppose) haue I wrytten brefly, exhortynge and testifyinge, how that thys is the true grace of God, wherin ye stande.

²⁰ But ye derlye beloued, edifye youre selues in your most holy fayth, prayinge in the holy goost,

³ But he that prophesieth, speaketh vnto men for their edifyinge, for their exhortacion and for their comforte.

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.

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. 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.

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:

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.

⁴ Loue suffreth longe, and is curteous. Loue enuyeth not. Loue doth not frowardly, swelleth not, dealeth not dishonestly

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

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

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.

¹⁸ I thanke my God that I speake with tonges more then ye all. 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. ²⁰ Brethren, be not ye chyldren in wytte. Howbeit, as concernyng maliciousnes, be children: but in witte be perfect. ²¹ In the lawe it is written with sondrie tonges, and with sondrye lyppes will I speake vnto this people, and yet for all that, will they not heare me, sayth the Lorde. 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: 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. ³⁰ If eny reuelacyon be made to another that sytteth by, let the fyrst holde his peace. 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. ³³ For God is not causer of stryfe: but of peace, as in all congregacions of the saynctes. ³⁴ Let youre wemen kepe sylence in the congregacions. For it is not permitted vnto them to speake: but to be vnder obedience, as sayth the lawe. ³⁵ If they wyll learne eny thynge, let them aske their husbandes at home. For it is a shame for wemen, to speake in the congregacion. ³⁶ Spronge the worde of God from you? Ether came it vnto you onely? 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. ³⁸ But and yf eny man be ignoraunt, let him be ignoraunt. ³⁹ Wherfore brethren, couet to prophesye, and forbyd not to speake with tonges. ⁴⁰ let all thynges be done honestly and in order

²¹ Nether turne ye after vayne thinges whych are not able to profyt you, for they are but vanitye.

¹⁹ O Lorde, my strength, my power, and refuge in tyme of trouble. The Gentyles shall come vnto the from the endes of the worlde, and saye: Uerely our fathers haue cleaued vnto lyes, their Idols are but vayne & vnprofitable.

³² Beholde, here am I (sayeth the Lorde) agaynst those prophetes, that darre prophecy lyenge dreames, and disceaue my people with their vanyties, and myracles, whom I neuer sent, ner commaunded them. They shall do this people greate harme, sayeth the Lorde.

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,

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.

²⁶ For what doth it proffet a man, yf he wynne all the whole worlde: & lose hys awne soule? Or what shal a man geue to redeme his soule agayne with all?

⁴² And they continued in the Apostles doctrine and felowshyp, & in breakynge of bread, and in prayers.

¹⁷ God be thanked, that though ye were the seruauntes of synne, ye haue yet obeyed with herte vnto the rule of the doctryne, that ye be brought vnto.

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.

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

³³ euen as I please all men in all thynges, not sekynge myne awne profet, but the profet of many, that they myght be saued.

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.

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. ³ And though I bestowe all my goodes to fede the poore, and though I geue my body euen that I burned, and yet haue no loue, it profyteth me nothynge.

⁸ Though that prophesyinges fayle, other tonges cease, or knowledge vanysshe awaye, yet loue falleth neuer awaye. ⁹ For oure knowledge is vnperfect, and oure prophesyinge is vnperfect.

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. ³⁰ If eny reuelacyon be made to another that sytteth by, let the fyrst holde his peace.

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.

¹ (

⁷ For though I wolde boast, I shall not be a foole: for I wolde saye the trueth. Neuerthelesse, I spare you: lest any man shulde thinke of me, aboue that which he seeth me to be, or that he heareth of me.

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,

⁴ wherby when ye reade, ye maye vnderstand my knowledge in the mistery of Christ,

¹⁵ Let vs therfore as many as be perfect, be thus wyse mynded, and yf ye be other wyse mynded, God shall open the same also vnto you.

¹⁴ Of these thinges put them in remembraunce, and testifye before the Lorde, that they folowe no contencyous wordes: which are to no profet, but to the peruertynge of the hearers.

¹⁰ But thou hast sene the experience of my doctryne, fassyon of lyuinge, purpose, fayth, longe sufferynge, loue, pacience,

¹⁶ All scripture geuen by inspiracyon of God, is proffitable to teache, to improue, to amende and to instruct in ryghtewesnes,

⁸ Thys is a true sayinge. Of these thynges I wyll that thou certifye, that they which beleue in God, myght be diligent to go forwarde in good workes. For these thynges are good and profitable vnto men,

⁹ Be not caryed aboute with diuers and straunge learnyng. For it is a good thynge that the herte be stablysshed with grace, and not wt meates, which haue not proffeted them that haue had theyr pastyme in them.

⁵ And herunto geue all diligence: in youre fayth mynyster vertue: in vertue knowledge:

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.

⁹ Whosoeuer transgresseth & bydeth not in the doctryne of Christ, hath not God. He that endureth in the doctrine of Christ, hath both the father & the sonne.

² Make the two trompettes of syluer: of an whole pece shalt thou make them, that thou mayst vse them to call the congregacyon together, and when the hoost shall iorneye. ³ Therfore shall they blowe with them, that all the multitude maye resorte to the before the dore of the tabernacle of witnes. ⁴ And yf they blowe but one trompet, then the princes which are heedes ouer the thousandes of Israel shall come vnto the. ⁵ But yf ye trompe, the hostes that lye on the east partes shall go forward. ⁶ And ye trompe the second tyme, the hoost that lyeth on the south syde shall take their iorneye: for they shall trompe when they take their iorneyes. ⁷ But when the congregacion is to be gathred together they shall blowe only, and not trompe. ⁸ And the sonnes of Aaron the preast shal blowe wt their trompettes, & ye shall haue them as a lawe for euer in your generacions. ⁹ And yf ye go to warre in your lande against your enemyes that vexe you, ye shall blowe with the trompettes: and ye shalbe remembred before the Lorde your God, to be saued from your enemies. ¹⁰ Also in the daye of your gladnes, and in your feaste dayes, and in the begynning of your monethes, ye shall blow the trompettes ouer your burntsacrifyces & peaceoffringes, that they maye be a remembraunce for you before youre God. I am the Lorde youre God.

¹⁷ and saye: we haue pyped vnto you, and ye haue not daunsed: We haue mourned vnto you & ye haue not sorowed.

³² They are like vnto children sytting in the market place, & cryeng one to another, and saying: We haue pyped vnto you, & ye haue not daunsed: we haue mourned to you, and ye haue not wepte.

⁸ For yf the trompe geue an vncertayne voyce, who shall prepare him selfe to the warre?

⁹ And yf ye go to warre in your lande against your enemyes that vexe you, ye shall blowe with the trompettes: and ye shalbe remembred before the Lorde your God, to be saued from your enemies.

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. ⁶ And Iosua the sonne of Nun, called the preastes, and sayde vnto them: take vp the arcke of the appointement, & lett seuen preastes beare seuen trompettes of rammes hornes before the arcke of the Lorde, ⁷ And he sayde vnto the people, go and compasse the cytie: and lett him that is harnessed, go before the arcke of the Lorde. ⁸ And when Iosua had spoken vnto the people, the seuen preastes bare the seuen trompettes of rammes hornes, and went forth before the arcke of the Lorde, & blewe with the trompettes, and the arcke of the couenaunt of the Lorde folowed them. ⁹ And all the men of armes went before the Preastes, that blewe with the trompettes, and the commen people came after the arke: and the prestes that went blewe with trompettes. ¹⁰ And Iosua commaunded the people sayinge: Ye shall not showte, ner make any noyse wt youre voyce, neither shal any worde procede out of youre mouthe, vntill the daye I bid you showte, then shall ye showte. ¹¹ And so the arcke of the Lord compased the cytie, and went aboute it once: and they retourned into the hoste, and lodged there. ¹² And Iosua rose erly in the mornyng, and the Preastes toke vp the arcke of the Lorde, ¹³ and seuen Preastes bare seuen trompettes of rammes hornes, & went before the arcke of the Lorde, and blew with the trompettes. And all the men of armes went before them, but the comen people came after the arcke of the Lorde, which went before with the blowing of the trompettes. ¹⁴ And the seconde daye they compased the cytie once, & retourned agayne into the hoste, & so they dyd sixe dayes. ¹⁵ And when the seuenth daye came, they rose erlye: euen with the dawninge of the daye, and compased the cytie after the same maner seuen tymes: only that daye they compased the cytie seuen tymes. ¹⁶ And at the seuenth tyme, whan the preastes blewe wt the trompettes, Iosua sayd vnto the people: showt, for the Lorde hath geuen you the cytie. ¹⁷ And the cytie shalbe damned bothe it and all that are therin, vnto the Lorde: onlye Rahab the harlot shall lyue, and all that are with her in the house, because she hidd the messengers that we sent. ¹⁸ And in anywise be ye ware of the excommunicate thinges, lest ye make youre selues excommunicate, & take of the excommunicate thinges, and make the hoste of Israel excommunicate and trouble it. ¹⁹ But all the siluer, golde, vesselles of brasse, & yron shalbe consecrate vnto the Lorde, & shal come into his treasurie. ²⁰ And the people showted, and blewe wyth trompettes. And when the people heard the sounde of the trompe, they showted wt a great showt: & the wall fell downe, so that the people went vp into the cytie, euery man streyght before him,

¹⁶ And he deuyded the thre hundred men into thre companies, & gaue euery man a trompet in his hande, wyth an emptye pytcher, and lampes theri, ¹⁷ and sayde vnto them: loke on me, and do lykewyse: that when I come to the syde of the hoste, euen as I do, so do you: ¹⁸ When I blowe wyth a trompet and all that are wyth me, blowe ye with trompettes also on euery syde of the hoste, & saye: here is the swerde of the Lorde and of Gedeon.

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.

²⁴ yet russheth he in fearsely, and beateth vpon the grounde. He feareth not the noyse of the trompettes, ²⁵ but as soone as he heareth the shawmes blowe, tush (sayeth he) for he smelleth the battel a farre of, the noyse, the captaynes and the shoutinge.

¹³ In that daye shall the great trompe be blowne, so that they which were lost in the lande of Assiria: & they that were banisshed into the lande of Egipt, shall come and worshyp the Lorde in the holy mount at Ierusalem:

¹⁹ Ah my bely, ah my bely, (shalt thou cry) how is my hert so sore? my hert panteth within me: I cannot be styll, for I haue herde the crying of the trompettes, and peales of warre.

³ the same man (whan he seyth the swearde come vpon the lande) shall blowe the trompet, and warne the people. ⁴ If a man now heare the noyse of the trompet & wyll not be warned, and the swearde come: and take him awaye: his bloude shall be vpon his awne head: ⁵ for he herde the sound of the trompet, & wolde not take hede, therfore his bloude be vpon him. But yf he will receaue warninge, he shall saue his lyfe. ⁶ Agayne, yf the watch man se the swearde come, and shewe it not with the trompet, so that the people is not warned: yf the swearde come then, & take eny man from among them: the same shall be taken awaye in his awne synne, but his bloude wyll I require of the watchmans hande.

¹ Blowe out the trompette in Syon, and crye vpon my holy hyll, that all soche as dwell in the lande, maye tremble at it: for the daye of the Lorde commeth, and is harde at hande:

⁶ Crye they out Alarum with the trompet in the cytie, and the people not afrayed? Commeth there eny plage in a cytie without it be the Lordes doynge?

¹¹ Put on all the armoure of God, that ye maye stande agaynst the assautes of the deuyll. ¹² For we wrestle not agaynst bloude and flesshe: but agaynst rule, agaynst power, agaynst worldy rulers, euen gouerners of the darcknes of thys worlde, agaynst spretuall craftynes in heauenly thynges. ¹³ Wherfore take vnto you the whole armoure of God, that ye maye be able to resyste in the euyll daye, and stande perfecte in all thinges. ¹⁴ Stande therfore, and youre loynes gyrd with the trueth, hauynge on the brest plate of ryghtewesnes, ¹⁵ & hauynge shoes on youre fete, that ye maye be prepared for the Gospell of peace. ¹⁶ Aboue all, take to you the shylde of fayth, wherwith ye maye quenche all the fyrie dartes of the wycked. ¹⁷ And take the helmet of saluacyon, and the swearde of the sprete, which is the worde of God. ¹⁸ And praye all wayes with all maner of prayer and supplicacyon in the sprete: and watch ther vnto with all instance and supplycacyon for all saynctes

²⁶ I therfore so runne, not as at an vncertayne thyng. So fyght I, not as one that beateth the ayer:

² And the straungers shewed vs no lytell kyndnes: for they kyndled a fyre, and receaued vs euery one, because of the present rayne, & because of the colde.

⁴ When the straungers sawe the beast hange on hys hande, they sayde amonge them selues: no doute thys man is a mortherer: Whom (though he haue escaped the see) yet vengeaunce suffreth not to lyue.

¹⁴ I am detter both to the Grekes and to the vngrekes, to the learned and to the vnlearned.

²¹ In the lawe it is written with sondrie tonges, and with sondrye lyppes will I speake vnto this people, and yet for all that, will they not heare me, sayth the Lorde.

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

⁷ The gyfte of the sprete is geuen to euery man, to edifye withall,

³¹ Couet after the best gyftes. And yet shewe I vnto you a more excellent waye.

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.

²⁴ Therfore I saye vnto you, what thinges soeuer ye desyre when ye praye, beleue that ye receaue them, and ye shall haue them.

¹³ And whatsoeuer ye aske in my name, that will I do, that the father maye be glorifyed by the sonne. ¹⁴ If ye shall aske any thynge in my name. I will do it.

¹⁴ These all contynued with one accorde in prayer and supplicacyon with the wemen & Mary the mother of Iesu, and with hys brethren.

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 Which whan they were come downe, prayed for them, that they might receaue the holy ghost.

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

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.

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?

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.

⁷ For God is kyng of all the earth synge ye prayses wt vnderstandyng.

²³ But the houre commeth & now is, when the true worshyppers shall worshyppe the father in sprete, & in the treuth. For such the father also requyreth to worshyppe hym. ²⁴ God is a sprete: and they that worshyppe hym, must worshyppe hym in sprete and in the treuth.

⁹ For God is my wytnes (whom I serue. Wyth my sprete in the Gospell of hys sonne) that wythout ceasynge I make mencyon of you prayinge allwayes in my prayers,

⁵ But yf oure vnryghtewesnes make the ryghtewesnes of God more excellent: what shall we saye? Is God vnryghteous, which taketh vngeaunce? I speake after the maner of men:

³¹ What shall we then saye to these thinges? yf God be on oure syde, who can be agaynst vs?

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 ² & fassyon not youre selues lyke vnto this worlde: but be ye chaunged in youre shape, by the renuyng of your mynde, that ye maye proue what thynge that good, and acceptable, and perfaycte wyll of God is.

¹⁹ What saye I then? that the ymage is eny thynge? or that it whych is offered to ymages, is eny thynge?

¹⁷ Wherfore, be ye not vnwyse, but vnderstande what the wyll of the Lorde is, ¹⁸ and be not droncke with wyne wherin is excesse: but be fylled with the sprete, ¹⁹ speakynge vnto youre selues in psalmes and hymnes, and spretuall songes, synginge and makyng melodie to the Lorde in youre hertes, ²⁰ gyuynge thankes allwayes for all thynges, vnto God the father in the name of oure Lorde Iesus Chryst,

¹⁸ And praye all wayes with all maner of prayer and supplicacyon in the sprete: and watch ther vnto with all instance and supplycacyon for all saynctes

¹⁸ What then? So that Chryst be preached anye maner of waye, whether it be by occasyon, or of true meaninge, I am glad therof, ye and wyll be glad.

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

²² These cursyd waters goo into the bowels of the that they maye make thy bely swell, & thy thye rotte, and let the woman saye, Amen Amen.

¹⁵ Cursed be the man that maketh any carued or molten ymage (an abhominacyon vnto the Lorde, the worke of the handes of the craftesman) and putteth it in a secret place: and all the people shall answere and saye Amen. ¹⁶ Cursed be he that curseth hys father, & hys mother, and all the people shall saye Amen. ¹⁷ Cursed be he that remoueth his neyghbours marke, & all the people shall saye Amen. ¹⁸ Cursed he be that maketh the blynde go out of his waye, & all the people shall saye Amen. ¹⁹ Cursed be he that hyndreth the ryght of the straunger, fatherlesse and wedowe, and all the people shall saye Amen. ²⁰ Cursed be he that lyeth wyth hys fathers wyfe and vnhealeth his fathers couerynge, and all the people shall saye, Amen. ²¹ Cursed be he that lyeth with any maner of beast, & all the people shall saye, Amen. ²² Cursed be he that lyeth with hys syster the daughter of hys father, or the daughter of his mother, & all the people shall saye, Amen. ²³ Cursed be he, that lyeth with hys mother in lawe, and all the people shall saye, Amen. ²⁴ Cursed be he that smyteth his neyghboure secretly, and all the people shall saye, Amen. ²⁵ Cursed be he that taketh a rewarde to slaye the soule of innocent bloude, and all the people shall saye, Amen. ²⁶ Cursed be he that contynueth not in all the wordes of thys lawe to do them, and all the people shall saye, Amen.

³⁶ And Banaiahu the sonne of Iehoiada answered the kynge, & sayde, Amen. I praye God that the Lorde God of my Lorde the kynge saye so to.

³⁶ Blessed be the Lord God of Israel for euer & euer, and let all people saye Amen, and prayse the Lorde.

¹³ And I shoke my lappe, & sayde. God shake out euery man after the same maner from hys house & laboure, that maynteyneth not this word: euen thus be he shaken oute, and voyde. And all the congregacyon sayde: Amen, and praysed the Lord. And the people dyd so.

⁶ And Esdras praysed the Lorde the greate God. And all the people answered Amen, Amen, with their handes vp, & bowed them selues, and worshypped the Lorde, fallynge downe vpon their faces to the grounde.

¹³ Blessed be the Lorde God of Israel, worlde wythout ende, Amen, and Amen.

¹⁹ And blessed be the name of hys maiesty for euer, and all the erth shalbe filled with his maiestye. Amen, Amen.

⁵² Wher with thyne enemies haue blasphemed the, and sclaunder the fotesteppes of thyne anoynted. Praysed be the Lord for euermore: Amen: Amen.

⁴⁸ Blessed be the Lorde God of Israel from euerlastyng and worlde without ende, & let all people saye: Amen, Amen. Prayse the Lord

¹¹ And the visyon of all the prophetes is become vnto you, as the wordes of a boke that is sealed vp, which men deliuer to one that is learned, saying: Reade thou in it. And he sayth: I cannot, for it is sealed. ¹² And the boke is geuen vnto him that is not learned, saying: Reade thou in it, and he sayth: I am not learned.

⁵ and wyll kepe my promyse, that I haue sworne vnto youre fathers. Namely, that I wolde geue them a lande which floweth wt mylck & hony: as ye se, it is come to passe vnto this day. Then answered I, and sayd: Amen. Let it be euen so Lorde, as thou sayest.

⁶ Then the prophet Ieremy gaue answere vnto the prophet Hananiah, before the prestes and before all the people that were present in the house of the Lord.

¹³ And leade vs not into temptacyon: but delyuer vs from euyll. For thyne is the kyngdome and the power, and the glorye for euer. Amen.

²⁰ Teachinge them to obserue all thinges, whatsoeuer I haue commaunded you. And lo I am wyth you allwaye, euen vntyll the ende of the worlde.

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

¹⁵ And the Iewes marueyled, saying: How knoweth he the scriptures, seynge that he neuer learned?

²⁵ There are also many other thynges which Iesus dyd, the which yf they shulde be wrytten euery one, I suppose the worlde coulde not contayne the bokes that shulde be wrytten.

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:

⁴ I thanke my God allwayes on youre behalfe, for the grace of God, whych is geuen you by Iesus Christ, ⁵ that in all thynges ye are made ryche by hym, in all vtteraunce & in all knowlegde, ⁶ by the which thinges the testimony of Iesus Christ was confermed in you, ⁷ so that ye are behynde in no gyfte, waytinge for the appearyng of oure Lord Iesus Christ, ⁸ which shall also strenght you vnto the ende, that ye maye be blamelesse in the daye of oure Lorde Iesus Christ.

²⁴ and whan he had geuen thankes, he brake it and sayde: Take ye, and eate: this is my body, whych is broken for you. This do ye in the remembraunce of me.

¹⁴ For If I praye with tonge, my sprete prayeth, but my vnderstonding doth no good.

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,

²⁴ My loue be with you all in Christ Iesu. Amen.

¹⁴ And the foure beastes sayd: Amen. And the .xxiiii. elders fell vpon their faces, and worshypped hym that lyueth for euermore.

¹² sayinge, Amen: Blessinge & glory & wysdome & thankes, and honour, & power, & myght, be vnto oure God for euermore. Amen.

²⁰ He whych testifyeth these thynges, sayeth: be it. I come quyckly. Amen. Euen so come Lorde Iesu.

⁴ He that speaketh with the tonge, proffiteth him selfe: he that prophesieth, edifyeth the congregacion

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?

⁴ I thanke my God allwayes on youre behalfe, for the grace of God, whych is geuen you by Iesus Christ, ⁵ that in all thynges ye are made ryche by hym, in all vtteraunce & in all knowlegde, ⁶ by the which thinges the testimony of Iesus Christ was confermed in you,

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?

²¹ In the lawe it is written with sondrie tonges, and with sondrye lyppes will I speake vnto this people, and yet for all that, will they not heare me, sayth the Lorde. 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.

⁹⁹ I haue more vnderstandynge than my teachers, for thy testimonies are my studie.

¹ Dauids songe of the stayres. Lorde, I am not hye mynded, I haue no proude lookes. ² I do not exercyse my selfe in greate matters, which are to hye for me.

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:

³ & sayd: Uerely I saye vnto you except ye turne, & become as chyldren, ye shall not enter into the kyngdom of heauen.

⁴ He answered & sayd vnto them: Haue ye not red, how that he which made man at the begynnynge made them man & woman:

¹⁵ Uerely I saye vnto you, whosoeuer doth not receaue the kyngdome of God as a childe, he shal not entre therin.

¹⁹ For your obedience is gone abroade vnto all men. I am glad therfore no dout, of you. But yet I wolde haue you wyse vnto that which is good, & to be innocente as concernynge euyll.

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)

¹ And I coulde not speake (vnto you brethren) as vnto spretuall: but as vnto carnall, euen as vnto babes in Christ. ² I gaue you mylke to drynke, and not meate. For ye then were not stronge, nether are ye as yet. For ye are yet carnall.

¹¹ When I was a chylde, I spake as a chylde, I vnderstode as a chylde, I ymagined as a chylde. But assone as I was a man, I put awaye chyldeshnes.

¹⁴ That we hence forth shulde be nomore chyldren, wauerynge & caryed aboute with euery wynde of doctrine, by the wylynes of men, thorowe craftynes, wherby they laye a wayte for vs to deceaue vs. ¹⁵ But let vs folowe the trueth in loue, and in all thynges growe in hym, which is the heed, euen Christ,

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

¹² For when as concerninge the tyme, ye ought to be teachers, yet haue ye nede agayne, that we teache you the fyrst principles of the worde of God: and are become soch as haue nede of mylke: and not of stronge meate: ¹³ for euery man that is fed with mylke, is inexperte in the worde of ryghteousnes. For he is but a babe.

¹ Therfore leauynge the doctryne that pertayneth to the begynnynge of Christen men, let vs go forth vnto perfeccion, not layenge agayne the foundacyon of repentaunce from deed workes and of fayth towarde God, ² of baptysynges, of doctryne, and of layinge on of handes, and of resurreccyon from deeth, and of eternall iudgement. ³ And so wyll we do If God permytte.

² & as new borne babes, desyre ye that mylke (not of the body but of the soule) which is wt out disceate that ye maye growe ther by

¹¹ For he that speaketh vnto this people is euen as one that vseth rudenes of spech, and a straunge language. Yf any man saye vnto them: ¹² lo, this is the rest wherwith ye maye ease hym that is weerye, thys is the refresshinge, they wyll not herken.

¹⁵ Lo, I wyll bryng a people vpon you from farre, O house of Israel (sayeth the Lorde) a myghty people, an old people, a people whose speach thou knowest not, neyther vnderstandest what they saye.

³⁴ Iesus answered them: Is it not wrytten in youre lawe I sayde, ye are goddes?

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,

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?

³² This Iesus hath God raysed vp, wherof we all are witnesses. ³³ Sence now that he by the ryght hande of God exalted is, and hath receaued of the father the promyse of the holy Goost, he hath sheed forth thys which ye now se and heare. ³⁴ For Dauid is not ascendyd into heuen: but he sayeth: The Lord sayde to my Lorde: syt thou on my ryght hand, ³⁵ vntyll I make thy fooes thy fote stole. ³⁶ So therfore, let all the house of Israel knowe for a suerty, that God hath made that same Iesus (whom ye haue crucified) Lorde and Chryst.

⁹ knowynge thys, howe that the lawe is not geuen vnto a ryghteous man, but vnto the vnryghteous and disobedyent, to the vngodly and to synners, to vnholy and vncleane: to murtherers of fathers and murtherers of mothers, to manstears,

⁷ Be ye sure (O Israel) the tyme of visitacyon is come, the dayes of recompensynge are at hande. And then shall Israell knowe that they were deceyued by a prophete folyshe mad, and in a fransey: for the multitude of thyne iniquitye God shall multiplye enemyes agaynst the.

²⁰ and many of them sayd: He hath the deuel, and is madd: why heare ye him?

¹³ Other mocked, sayinge: these men are full of new wyne.

²⁴ As he thus spake for hym selfe: Festus sayde with a loude voyce: Paul, thou art besyde thy selfe. Moch learnynge doth make the madd.

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.

⁴⁷ Iesus sawe Nathanael comynge to him, & sayeth of him: Beholde a ryght Israelyte, in whom is no gyle. ⁴⁸ Nathanael sayeth vnto him: whence knowest thou me? Iesus answered, and sayde vnto him. Before that Philip called the, when thou wast vnder the fygge tree, I sawe the. ⁴⁹ Nathanael answered and sayd vnto him: Rabbi, thou art euen the very sonne of God, thou art the kyng of Israel.

²⁹ Come, se a man whych tolde me all thynges that euer I dyd. Is not he Christ?

³⁷ When they hearde this, they were pricked in their hertes, and sayd vnto Peter, & vnto the other Apostles: Ye men & brethren what shall we do?

¹⁵ But he that is spretual, discusseth all thynges: yet he him selfe is iudged of no man.

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: ¹³ nether is ther eny creature that is not manifest in the syght of him: But all thinges are naked and open vnto the eyes of him, of whom we speake.

¹⁴ And Iuda and hys brethren came to Iosephs house for he was yet there, and they fell before him on the grounde.

¹⁸ And I fell downe flat before the Lorde: euen as at the fyrst tyme, and .xl. dayes & .xl. nyghtes I dyd nether eate bread nor drincke water, because of all youre synnes, whych ye synned, in doynge wyckedly in the syght of the Lord in that ye prouoked hym vnto wrath.

¹¹ All kinges shal fall downe before him: all nacions shall do him seruice.

¹⁴ Thus sayeth the Lord. The occupiers of Egypt, the marchauntes of the Morians and Sabees, shall come vnto the with tribute, they shalbe thyne, they shall folowe the, and go with cheynes vpon their fete. They shall fall downe before the, and make supplicacyon vnto the. For God (without whom there is none other God) shalbe with the.

¹⁴ Moreouer, those shall come knelyng vnto the, that haue vexed the: and all they that despysed the, shall fall downe at thy fote. Thou shalt be called the cytie of the Lorde, Sion the cytie of the holy one of Israel.

²³ Thus sayeth the Lord of hoostes. In that tyme shall ten men (out of all maner of languages of the Gentyles) take one Iewe by the hemme of hys garment, & saye: we wyll go wt you, for we haue herde, that God is amonge you.

⁸ When Simon Peter sawe thys, he fell downe at Iesus knees, saying: Lord, go from me, for I am a sinful man.

²⁸ When he sawe Iesus & had cryed, he fell downe before him, & wt a loude voyce sayde. What haue I to do with the Iesus, thou sonne of the God moost hyest? I beseche the torment me not:

¹⁶ and fell doune on hys face at hys fete, and gaue hym thankes. And the same was a Samaritane.

⁸ And when he had taken the boke, the foure beastes and .xxiiii. elders fell downe before the lambe, hauyng (euery one of them) harpes & golden vialles full of odoures, which are the prayers of saynctes,

⁴ And the .xxiiii. elders, & the .iiii. bestes fell downe, & worshipped God that sate on the seate, saying: Amen, Alleluia.

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:

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?

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.

⁴⁰ let all thynges be done honestly and in order

¹⁹ I desyred Titus, & with hym I sent a brother. Dyd Titus defraude you of any thyng? walked we not in one sprete? Walked we not in lyke steppes?

¹⁰ Therfore wryte I these thinges beynge absent, lest whan I am present, I shulde vse sharpenesse, accordynge to to the power which the Lorde hath geuen me to edifye, and not to destroye.

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

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.

¹⁹ speakynge vnto youre selues in psalmes and hymnes, and spretuall songes, synginge and makyng melodie to the Lorde in youre hertes,

¹¹ Wherfore, comforte your selues together, & edifye euery one another, euen as ye do.

¹⁹ Quenche not the sprete. ²⁰ Despyse not prophesyinges. ²¹ Examen all thynges, kepe that which is good.

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 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.

¹¹ For when I had wayted tyll ye made an ende of youre talkynge, and hearde youre wysdome, what argumentes ye made in youre communicacyon:

¹⁵ (for they were so abasshed, that they coulde not make answere, nor speake one worde) ¹⁶ but in so moche as ye wyll not speake, standynge styll lyke domme men, and makynge no answere: ¹⁷ I haue a good hope for my parte to shape hym an answere, and to shewe him my meanynge: ¹⁸ For I am full of wordes, and the sprete that is within me, compelleth me. ¹⁹ Beholde, my belly is as the wyne, which hath no vente, and bursteth the new vessels in sunder. ²⁰ Therfore will I speake that I may haue a vente: I will open my lyppes, & make answere.

³¹ Marcke well (O Iob) and heare me: holde the styll, and I will speake. ³² But yf thou hast any thynge to saye, then answere me, and speake, for thy answere pleaseth me. ³³ If thou hast nothinge, then heare me, and holde thy tonge, so shall I teach the wisdome.

¹⁹ Quenche not the sprete. ²⁰ Despyse not prophesyinges.

⁵ By hearing the wise man shall come by more wysedome: and he that is endewed wt vnderstanding

⁹ Geue a discrete man but an occasyon, and he wylbe the wyser: teache a ryghteous man, and he wyll increase in knowledge.

¹² that is, that I myght haue consolacyon together wyth you, through the commen fayth whych both ye and I haue.

³⁵ If they wyll learne eny thynge, let them aske their husbandes at home. For it is a shame for wemen, to speake in the congregacion.

⁶ Neuerthelesse God that conforteth the abiecte, conforted vs by the commynge of Titus. ⁷ And not by his commynge onely: but also by the consolacyon which we receaued of you: when he tolde vs youre desyre, youre feruent mynde for me: so that I reioyced the more.

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,

¹⁴ We desyre you (brethren) warne them that are vnruly, comforte the feble mynded, lyft vp the weake, be pacient towarde all men.

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.

¹⁹ And one tolde Saul, sayinge: Beholde, Dauid is at Naioth in Rama. 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?

³ And the chyldren of the Prophetes that were at Bethel, came out to Elisa, & sayde vnto him: knowest thou not, howe that the Lorde will take a waye thy master from thy head this daye? He sayde: I knowe it also holde ye youre peace.

⁵ And the chyldren of the prophetes that were at Iericho came to Elisa and sayde vnto him: knowest thou not, that the Lord will take a waye thy master from thy head thys daye? He answered: I knowe it also, holde ye your peace.

⁸ Euery man (no doute) hath a mynde, but it is the inspiracion of the Almyghty that geueth vnderstandinge. ⁹ Great men are not all waye wyse, nether doth euery aged man vnderstande the thynge that is lawfull. ¹⁰ Therfore will I speake also (heare me) and I wyll shew you also myne vnderstandinge. ¹¹ For when I had wayted tyll ye made an ende of youre talkynge, and hearde youre wysdome, what argumentes ye made in youre communicacyon:

⁹ Wherfore, I thought from hence forth, not to speake of him, ner to preache eny more in his name. But the worde of the Lorde was a very burnynge fyre in my hert and in my bones, whiche when I wolde haue stopped, I myght not.

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.

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.

¹⁴ Glory to God on hye, and peace on the erth, & vnto men a good wyll.

¹³ Then Ananias answered: Lorde, I haue heard by many of this man how moch euyll he hath done to thy sayntes at Ierusalem:

³³ The God of peace be wyth you all. Amen.

¹⁷ For thys cause haue I sent vnto you Tymotheus, which is my deare sonne, and faythfull in the Lorde, whych shall put you in remembraunce of my wayes, that I haue in Chryst, euen as I teach euery where in all congregacions.

¹⁵ But & yf the vnbeleuynge departe, let him departe. A brother or a syster is not in subieccyon to soche. But God hath called vs in peace.

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.

¹⁶ If any man luste to stryue, we haue no soch custome, nether the congregacyons of God.

²² Contrarely, the frute of the sprete is, loue, ioye, peace, longe sufferinge, gentylnes, goodnes, faythfulnes,

¹⁶ The very Lorde of peace geue you peace allwayes, by all meanes. The Lord be with you all.

²⁰ The God of peace that brought agayne from deeth our Lorde Iesus the gret shepperde of the shepe, thorow the bloud of the euerlastyng testament,

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.

¹⁶ But vnto the woman he sayde: In multiplienge wyll I multiplye thy sorowe & thy conceyuynge: In sorowe shalt thou brynge furth chyldren, & thy lust shall pertayne to thy husbande, & he shall haue the rule of the.

³ If a woman also vowe a vowe vnto the Lorde, and bynde her selfe beynge in her fathers house in the tyme of her youth, ⁴ and her father heare her vowe and bonde which she hath made vpon her soule, and holde his peace therto: then all her vowes & bondes which she hath made vpon her soule shall stande in effect. ⁵ But and yf her father forbyd her the same daie that he heareth it, none of her vowes nor bondes which she hath made vpon her soule shalbe of value: and the Lorde shall forgeue her, because her father forbade her. ⁶ If she had an husbande when she vowed or pronounced ought out of her lippes, wherwith she bonde her soule, ⁷ and her husbande hearde it and helde his peace there at the same daye he heard it, then her vowes and her bondes wherwith she bounde her soule, shall stande in effecte. ⁸ And yf her husbande forbade her the same daye that he hearde it: and made her vowe which she hath vpon her of none effecte, and released the openyng of her lyppes, wherwith she bounde her soule, the Lorde shall forgeue her. ⁹ But euery vowe of a wedowe and of her that is deuorced (that they haue bounde their soule withall) shall stande in effect wt them. ¹⁰ If she vowed in her husbandes house, or bounde her soule with an oth, ¹¹ and her husbande hearde it, and helde his peace, and forbad her not, then all her vowes and bondes wherwith she bounde her soule, shall stande. ¹² But yf her husbande disannulled them the same daye that he heard them, then nothing that proceadeth out of her lippes in vowes and bondes (wherwith she bounde her soule) shall stande in effecte: for her husbande hath lowsed them. And the Lorde shall forgeue her. ¹³ All vowes and othes that binde to humble the soule, maye her husbande stablysh or breake.

¹⁷ for this dede of the quene shall come abrode vnto all wemen, so that they shall despised their husbandes before their eyes, and shal saye: the kyng Ahasuerus commaunded Uasthi the quene to be brought in before hym, but she wold not come. ¹⁸ And so shall the princesses in Persia and Media saye likewyse vnto all the kynges princes, when they heare of this dede of the quene, thus shall there aryse to moch despitefulnes & wrath. ¹⁹ If it please the kyng therfore, let there go a commaundment from him, & let it be written according to the lawes of the Persians and Medians (and not to be transgressed) that Uasthi come nomore before kyng Ahasuerus, & let the king geue her kingdome vnto another, that is better then she. ²⁰ And when this commaundement of the kyng (which shalbe made) is published thorow out all his empire (whych is greate) all wemen shall hold their husbandes in honoure both among great and small.

³ But I wolde haue you to knowe, that Christ is the heed of euery man. And the man is the womans heed. And God is Christes heed.

⁵ Euery woman that prayeth or prophesyeth bare headed, dishonesteth hyr head. For that is euen all one, as yf she were shauen.

⁷ A man ought not to couer his heed, for as moch as he is the ymage and glory of God. But the woman is the glory of the man. ⁸ For the man is not of the woman: but the woman of the man. ⁹ Nether was the man created for the womans sake: but the woman for the mannes sake. ¹⁰ For this cause ought the woman to haue power on her heed, for the angels sakes:

²² Ye wemen, submit youre selues vnto youre awne husbandes, as vnto the Lorde. 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. ²⁴ Therfore, as the congregacyon is in subieccyon to Chryst, lykewyse let the wyues also be in subieccyon to theyr husbandes in all thinges.

³³ Neuerthelesse, do ye so, that euery one loue hys wyfe euen as hym selfe, and let the wyfe reuerence her husbande.

¹⁸ Ye wyues, submyt youre selues vnto youre awne husbandes, as it is comly in the Lorde:

¹¹ Let the woman learne in sylence wyth all subieccyon. ¹² But I suffre not a woman to teach, nether to vsurpe auctoryte ouer the man: but to be in sylence.

⁵ to be discrete, chast, huswyfly good, obedient vnto their husbandes, that the worde of God be not euyll spoken of.

¹ Likewyse ye wyues be in subieccyon to youre husbandes, that euen they whych obeye not the worde, maye without the worde be wonne by the conuersacyon of the wyues, ² whyll they beholde youre chast conuersacyon coupled wyth feare. ³ Whose apparell shall not be outward wt broyded heare, & hangyng on of golde, ether in puttynge on of gorgyous apparell: ⁴ but let the hyd man which is in the herte, be without all corrupcyon, so that the sprete be at rest and quyete: whych sprete is before God a thynge moch set by. ⁵ For after this maner in the olde tyme dyd the holy wemen which trusted in God, tyer them selues, and were obedient to their husbandes, ⁶ euen as Sara obeyed Abraham, and called hym Lorde: whose daughters ye are, as longe as ye do well, & are not afrayde for anye terrour.

⁶ If the woman be not couered, let her also be shoren. If it be shame for a woman to be shorne or shauen, let her couer her heed.

¹⁴ Doth not nature it selfe teach you, that it is a shame for a man,

³⁴ Let youre wemen kepe sylence in the congregacions. For it is not permitted vnto them to speake: but to be vnder obedience, as sayth the lawe.

¹² For it is shame euen to name those thynges which are done of them in secrete:

²⁵ Ye husbandes, loue youre wyues, euen as Chryst also loued the congregacyon, and gaue hym selfe for it, ²⁶ to sanctifye it, and clensed it in the fountayne of water thorow the worde, 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.

⁷ Lykewyse, ye men, dwell with them accordynge to knowledge: geuyng honoure vnto the wife, as vnto the weaker vessell, & as vnto them that are heyres also of the grace of lyfe that youre prayers be not hyndred.

³ speaking thus one to another: vp, let vs go to the hyll of the Lord, & to the house of the God of Iacob: that he maye shewe vs his waye, and that we maye walcke in his pathes. For the lawe shall come out of Sion, and the word of the Lorde from Ierusalem,

¹ But in the latter dayes it will come to passe, that the hyll of the Lordes house shalbe sett vp hyer then eny mountaynes or hylles: Yee, the people shall prease vnto it, ² and the multitude of the Gentiles shall haste them thyther, sayeng: Come, let vs go vp to the hyll of the Lorde, and to the house of the God of Iacob: that he maye teach vs hys waye, and that we maye walcke in his pathes. For the lawe shall come out of Sion, & the worde of God from Ierusalem,

⁸ In that tyme shall there waters of lyfe runne out from Ierusalem: the halfe potte of them towarde the east see, and the other halfe towarde the vttermost see, and shall continue both somer and wynter.

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.

³⁵ Paul and Barnabas continued in Antioche, teachynge & preachynge the worde of the Lorde with other many. ³⁶ But after a certayne space, Paul sayd vnto Barnabas: Let vs go agayne, and visite oure brethren in euery cytie where we haue shewed the word of the Lord, & se how they do.

⁹ And a visyon appered to Paul in the nyght. There stode a man of Macedonia and prayed him, saying: come into Macedonia, and helpe vs. ¹⁰ After he had sene the vision, immediatly we prepared to go into Macedonia, beinge certifyed that the Lorde had called vs, for to preach the gospell vnto them.

¹ As they made their iourney thorowe Amphipolis: and Appolonia, they cam to Thessalonica, where was a Synagoge of the Iewes.

¹⁰ And the brethren immediatly sent awaye Paul and Sylas by nyghte vnto Berrea. Which when they were come thyther, they entred into the Synagoge of the Iewes. ¹¹ These were the noblest of byrth amonge them of Thessalonia, which receaued the word with all dilygence of mynde, and searched the scryptures dayly, whether those thynges were euen so.

¹⁵ And they that gyded Paul, brought him vnto Athens, & receaued a commaundement vnto Sylas & Timotheus, for to come to hym wt spede, & came their waye.

¹ After thys, Paul departed from Athens, and came to Corynthum, ² and founde a certayne Iewe named Aquila, borne in Ponthus, lately come from Italie with his wyfe Priscilla (because that the Emperour Claudius had commaunded all Iewes to departe from Rome) and he drew vnto them, ³ because he was of the same crafte, he abode with them, & wrought: theyr crafte was to make tentes. ⁴ And he preached in the synagoge euery Sabboth daye and exhorted the Iewes and the gentyls. 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. ⁶ And when they sayde contrary & blasphemed he shoke hys rayment and sayde vnto them: youre bloude be vpon youre awne heedes: from hence forth wyll I go blamelesse vnto the gentyls. ⁷ And he departed thence, and entred into a certayne mannes house, named Iustus, a worshypper of God, whose house ioyned hard to the synagoge. 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. ⁹ Then spake the Lorde to Paul in the nyght by a visyon: be not afrayde, but speake, and holde not thy peace: ¹⁰ for I am with the, & noman shall inuade the that shall hurte the. For I haue moch people in this cytie. ¹¹ And he continued there a yeare and syxe monethes, and taught them the worde of God. ¹² When Gallio was ruler of the countre of Acaia, the Iewes made insurreccyon with one accorde agaynst Paul, and brought hym to the iudgement seate, ¹³ sayinge: this felowe counceleth men to worship God contrary to the lawe. ¹⁴ And whan Paul nowe was about to open his mouth, Gallio sayd vnto the Iewes: yf it were a matter of wronge, or an euyll dede (O ye Iewes) reason wolde that I shulde heare you: ¹⁵ but yf it be a question of wordes or of names, or of youre lawe, loke ye to it youre selues, For I will be no iudge of soche matters, ¹⁶ and he draue them from the seate. ¹⁷ Then all the Grekes toke Softenes the chefe ruler of the Synagoge, and smote hym before the iudges seate, And Gallio cared for none of those thynges.

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. ¹⁴ For we stretch not out our selues beyonde measure, as though we reached nott vnto you. For euen to you also haue we come wt the gospell of Christ, ¹⁵ and we boast not our selues out of measure of other mennes labours: Yee, and we hope it wyll come to passe, that when your faith is increased amonge you, we shalbe magnifyed accordynge to oure measure, more largely, ¹⁶ and that I shall preache the Gospell in those regions which are beyonde you: & not to boast of those thynges, which by another mans measure are prepared allready.

⁸ For from you sounded out the worde of the Lorde, not in Macedonia and in Achaia onely: but youre fayth also which ye haue vnto God, spred her selfe abroade in all quartars, so that it nedeth not vs to speake eny thynge at al.

³ And he toke vp hys parable and sayde: Balaam the sonne of Beor hath sayde & the man whose eye is open hath sayd: ⁴ he hath sayde, whyche heareth the wordes of God and seyth the visyons of the almyghtie, and falleth doune with open eyes.

¹⁶ He hath sayde that heareth the wordes of God, and hath the knowledge of the most hye, and beholdeth the visyon of the almyghtie, and that falleth with open eyes:

¹⁶ He that heareth you, heareth me: and he that despyseth you, despyseth me: and he that despyseth me; despyseth him that sent me.

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.

²⁵ As concernynge virgins, I haue no commaundement of the Lorde: yet geue I counsell, as one that hath obtayned mercye of the Lord, to be faythfull.

⁴⁰ But she is happier, yf she so abyde, after my iudgement. And I thinke verely, that I haue the sprete of God.

² If eny man thynke that he knoweth eny thing, he knoweth nothyng yet as he ought to knowe.

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.

⁷ Loke ye on thinges after the vtter appearaunce? If any man trust in hym selfe, that he is Christes, lett hym consyder thys agayne of him selfe, that as he is Christes, euen so, are we Christes.

¹² For we cannot fynde in our hertes to make oure selnes of the nomber of them, or to compare oure selues to them, which prayse them selues. Neuerthelesse, whyle they measure them selues wt them selues, and compare them selues with them selues, they vnderstande nought.

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.

¹² Neuertheles, what I do, that wyll I do, to cut awaye occasyon from them which desyre occasion: that they might be founde lyke vnto vs, in that wherin they reioyce. ¹³ For soch fals apostles are disceatfull workers, and fassy on them selues lyke vnto the apostles of Christ. ¹⁴ And no maruayle: for Satan him selfe is chaunged into the fassyon of an angell of light. ¹⁵ Therfore it is no great thynge though hys mynisters fassyon them selues, as though they were the ministers of ryghtewesnes: whose ende shalbe accordyng to theyr dedes.

⁸ For he that soweth in his flesshe, shall of the flesshe reape corrupcyon. But he that soweth in the sprete, shall of the sprete reape lyfe euerlastynge.

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. ³ For this is the wyll of God euen youre holynes, that ye shuld abstayne from fornicacyon, ⁴ & that euery one of you shuld knowe how to kepe his vessell in holynes and honoure, ⁵ and not in the lust of concupiscence as do the hethen which know not God, ⁶ that noman oppresse and defraude his brother in bargaynyng: because that the Lord is the auenger of all soch thinges, as we tolde you before, and testifyed. ⁷ For God hath not called vs vnto vnclennes but vnto holynes. ⁸ He therfore that despyseth, despyseth not man, but God, whych hath sent his holy sprete amonge you.

² that ye maye be myndefull of the wordes (whych were tolde before of the holy Prophetes) and also the commaundement of vs whych be Apostles of the Lorde and sauyour

⁶ We are of God. He that knoweth God, heareth vs: he that is not of God, heareth vs not. Herby knowe we the sprete of veritie, and the sprete of erroure.

¹⁷ But ye beloued, remember the wordes which were spoken before of the Apostles of oure Lord Iesu Christ,

¹⁷ And where as Ephraim is become partaker of Idols, wel, let him go.

⁶ Geue not ye that whych hys holy vnto dogges, nether cast ye youre pearles before swyne, lest they treade them vnder their fete & the other turne against you, & al to rent you.

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

³ These thynges teach & exhorte. If eny man folowe other doctrine, and enclyne not vnto the wholsome wordes of oure Lorde Iesu Christ, and to the doctrine which is accordynge to Godlynes, 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, ⁵ vayne disputacyon of men that haue corrupte myndes, & that are robbed of the trueth: which thynke, that lucre is godlynes. From them that are soch separate thy selfe.

³ For the tyme will come, when they shall not suffer wholsome doctryne: but after their awne lustes shall they (whose eares ytche) gett them an heepe of teachers, ⁴ and shall withdrawe their eares from the trueth, and shalbe turned vnto fables.

¹¹ He that doeth euyll, let him do euyll styll: and he which is filthy, let him be fylthy styll: and he that is ryghteous, let hym be more ryghteous: & he that is holy, let hym be more holy. ¹² And beholde, I come shortly, and my rewarde is wyth me, to geue euery man accordynge as his dedes shalbe.

¹³ Let vs walke honestly as it were in the daye lyght: not in eatynge & drynckynge, nether in chamburyng and wantannes, nether in stryfe & enuyinge:

³⁴ If any man honger, let him eate at home, that ye come not together vnto condemnacyon. Other thynges will I set in order, when I come.

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. ³⁰ If eny reuelacyon be made to another that sytteth by, let the fyrst holde his peace. 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. ³³ For God is not causer of stryfe: but of peace, as in all congregacions of the saynctes.

⁵ For though I be absent in the flesshe, yet am I with you in the sprete, ioyinge and beholdynge youre order, and youre sted fast fayth in Chryst

⁵ For this cause left I the in Creta, that thou shuldest refourme the thynges that are vnperfect, & shuldest ordeyne elders in euery cytie, as I had appoynted the.
