¹⁰ He that is faythfull in that which is least, is faythfull also in moch.

²⁰ Gehezi the seruaunt of Elisa the man of God, sayde: beholde, my master hath spared Naaman thys Syrian, that he wolde not receaue of hys hande those thynges that he offered.

And when Naaman sawe him runninge after him, he lyght downe from the charet, to mete him, and sayde: is all well? ²² He answered: All is well. Beholde, my master hath sent me, sayinge: se, there be come to me euen nowe from mount Ephraim two yonge men of the chyldren of the prophetes: geue them I praye the, one talent of syluer and two chaunge of garmentes. ²³ And Naaman sayde: With a good will. Take two talentes: & he compelled him to bynde two talentes of syluer in two bagges, with two chaunge of garmentes, and layed them vpon two of his seruauntes, to beare them before him. ²⁴ And whan he came in to a secrete place, he toke them from their hande, & bestowed it in the house, & the men were let go, ²⁵ and they departed. But he went in, and stode before his master. And Elisa sayde vnto him: whence commest thou Gehezi? He sayde: thy seruaunt went no whether. ²⁶ But he sayde vnto hym: went not myne hert with the, when the man turned agayne from his charet to mete the? Is it nowe a tyme to receaue moneye, to receaue garmentes, olyue trees, vyneyardes, shepe and oxen, men seruauntes & mayde seruauntes? ²⁷ The leprosye therfore of Naaman shall cleaue vnto the, and vnto thy seed for euer. And he went out from his presence a leper, as whyte as snowe.

⁴¹ And they departed from the counsell, I reioysinge, that they were counted worthy, to suffre rebuke for his name.

⁴ Therfore, they that were scatered abrode, went euery where preachyng the worde of God.

¹⁶ For I wyll shewe hym, how greate thinges he must suffre for my names sake.

¹² If other be partakers of thys power ouer you, wherfore are not we rather? Neuerthelesse we haue not vsed this power: but suffre all thinges, lest we shulde hinder the Gospell of Chryst. ¹³ Do ye not knowe, howe that they which minister aboute holy thinges lyue of the sacrifyce? They which wayte of the temple, are partakers of the temple. ¹⁴ Euen so also dyd the Lord ordayne: that they whych preach the Gospell, shulde lyue of the Gospell. ¹⁵ But I haue vsed none of these thinges. Neuertheles I wrote not these thinges, that it shuld be so done vnto me. For it were better for me to dye, then that eny man shuld take this reioysinge from me.

¹⁸ What is my reward then? Uerely that when I preach the Gospell, I make the Gospell of Christ fre, that I misuse not myne auctorite in the Gospell.

⁵ For we preache not our selues, but Christ Iesus to be the Lorde, and oure selues youre seruauntes, for Iesus sake.

⁷ Dyd I therin synne, because I submytted my selfe, that ye might be exalted: & because I preached to you the Gospell of God fre? ⁸ I robbed other congregacyons, & toke wages of them, to do you seruyce. ⁹ And when I was present wt you, & had nede I was chargeable to no man: for that which was lackynge vnto me, the brethren which came from Macedonia, supplied, and in all thinges I kept my selfe so that I shuld not be chargeable to any man, and so wyll I kepe my selfe.

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

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:

³ & hast suffred. And hast pacience: and for my names sake hast labored, and hast not faynted.

¹⁴ And whosoeuer shall not receaue you, nor wyll heare youre preachynge: when ye departe oute of that house or that cytie shake of the duste of youre fete.

⁴⁰ He that receaueth you, receaueth me: & he that receaueth me, receaueth him that sent me.

⁷ and he within answere, and saye: trouble me not, the dore is now shut, and my chyldren are with me in the chamber, I cannot ryse and geue the.

⁵ What is Paul? What thynge is Apollo? Onely ministers are they by whom ye beleued, euen as the Lorde gaue euery man grace. ⁶ I haue planted, Apollo watred: but God gaue the encreace. ⁷ So then, nether is he that planteth eny thyng, nether he that watreth, but God that geueth the encreace. ⁸ He that planteth and he that watreth, are one. Euery man yet shall receaue hys rewarde, accordynge to his laboure. ⁹ For we are Goddes labourers, ye are Goddes husbandrye, ye are Goddes buyldyng:

¹⁰ If Timotheus come, se that he be with out feare with you. For he worketh the worcke of the Lorde, as I do: ¹¹ let no man therfore despyse him. but conuaye hym forth in peace, that he maye come vnto me. For I loke for him with the brethren.

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

² Understand vs we haue hurte no man: we haue corrupte no man: we haue defrauded no man. ³ I speake not this to condemne you: for I haue shewed you before, that ye are in oure hertes to dye & lyue with you:

²³ The greate confidence which I haue in you, hath caused me thys to do: partelye for Titus sake which is my felowe and helper as concernyng you: partely because of other which are our brethren, and the messengers of the congregacyons, & the glory of Christ.

³ Yee and I beseche the faythfull yockefelowe, helpe the wemen which laboured with me in the Gospell, and with Clement also, and with other my laboure felowes whose names are in the boke of lyfe.

¹¹ and Iesus which is called Iustus, whych are of the circumcisyon. These only are my worke felowes vnto the kyngdome of God, which haue bene vnto my consolacyon.

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

² and to the beloued Appia, and to Aechippus oure felowe soudier and to the congregacyon that is of thy house.

²⁴ Marcus, Aristarcus, Demas, Lucas, my helpers.

¹⁰ Wherfore yf I come, I will declare hys dedes which he doeth, iestinge on vs wt malicious wordes, nether is therewith content. Not onely he him selfe receaueth not the brethren: but also he forbyddeth them that wolde, and thrusteth them out of the congregacion.

⁴⁰ He that receaueth you, receaueth me: & he that receaueth me, receaueth him that sent me. ⁴¹ He that receaueth a prophet in the name of a prophet, shal receaue a prophetes rewarde. And he that receaueth a ryghteous man, in the name of a ryghteous man, shall receaue a righteous mans rewarde: ⁴² And whosoeuer shall geue vnto one of these lytle ones to dryncke, a cuppe of colde water onely (in the name of a disciple) verely I saye vnyou, he shall not lose his rewarde.

²⁰ Then came to him the mother of Zebedes chyldren, wt her sonnes, worshyppyng him & desyryng a certaine thynge of him. ²¹ And he sayeth vnto her, what wilt thou? She sayde vnto him: Graunte, that these my two sonnes may syt, the one on thy ryght hande, and the other on the lefte, in thy kyngdome. ²² But Iesus answered & sayde: Ye wot not what ye aske. Are ye able to dryncke of that cuppe that I shall drynke of: & to be baptised wt the baptyme, that I am baptised wt? ²³ They saye vnto him: we are. He sayde vnto them: ye shall dryncke in dede of my cup: & be baptised wt the baptyme that I am baptised with. But to syt on my ryght hande & on my left, is not myne to geue: but it shall chaunce vnto them, that it is prepared for of my father. ²⁴ And when the ten heard this, they disdayned at the two brethren: ²⁵ But Iesus called them vnto him, & sayde: ye knowe that the princes of the nacions haue dominion ouer them. And they that are great men, exercyse auctorite vpon them. ²⁶ It shall not be so amonge you. But whosoeuer wyll be greate amonge you, let him be youre minister: ²⁷ and whoso will be chefe amonge you, let him be youre seruaunt: ²⁸ euen as the sonne of man cam, not to be ministred vnto, but to minister, & to geue his lyfe a redempcion for many.

⁴ for they saye, and do not. Yee, they bynde together heuy burthens and greuous to be borne, & laye them on mennes shoulders: but they them selues wyll not heaue at them with one of their fyngers. ⁵ All theyr worckes do they for the intent, that they maye be sene of men. They set abroade their philateries, & make large the borders of their garmentes, ⁶ & loue the vppermoste seates at feastes, & to sytt in the chefe place in councels, ⁷ & gretynges in the markett, and to be called of men, Rabbi. ⁸ But be not ye called Rabbi. For one is youre master, euen Chryst, and all ye are brethren.

³⁴ And they helde their peace: for by the waye they had reasoned among them selues, who shuld be the chefest.

³⁷ whosoeuer receaueth eny soche a childe in my name, receaueth me. And whosoeuer receaueth me, receaueth not me, but hym that sent me.

³⁵ And Iames and Iohn the sonnes of Zebede came vnto him, sayinge: Master: we wolde, that thou shuldest do for vs whatsoeuer we desyre. ³⁶ He sayde vnto them: what wolde ye that I shuld do for you? ³⁷ They sayde vnto hym: graunt vnto vs, that we maye sytte, one on thy ryght hande, and the other on thy lyfte hande, in thy glory. ³⁸ But Iesus sayd vnto them: Ye wote not what ye aske: Can ye dryncke of the cup, that I dryncke of? and be baptysed wyth the baptyme, that I am baptysed with? ³⁹ And they sayde vnto hym: that we can. Iesus sayde vnto them: ye shall in dede dryncke of the cup that I dryncke of: and wyth the baptyme that I am baptysed wyth all, shall ye be baptysed in: ⁴⁰ but to syt on my ryght hande & on my lyfte hande, is not myne to geue, but it shall happen vnto them, for whom it is prepared. ⁴¹ And when the ten hearde it, they began to dysdayne at Iames and Iohn. ⁴² But Iesus whan he had called them to hym, sayd vnto them: ye knowe, that they whych are sene to beare rule amonge the people, raygne as Lordes ouer them. ⁴³ And they that be greate amonge them, exercyse auctoryte vpon them. Neuertheles, so shall it not be amonge you: but whosoeuer of you wylbe greate amonge you, shalbe youre mynister. ⁴⁴ And whosoeuer wylbe chefe, shalbe seruaunt of all. ⁴⁵ For the sonne of man also came not to be mynystred vnto: but to mynister, and to geue hys lyfe for the redempcyon of many.

⁴⁸ & sayd vnto them: Whosoeuer receaueth this child in my name, receaueth me. And whosoeuer receaueth me, receaueth him that sent me. For he that is lest among you all, the same shalbe greate.

²⁴ And ther was a stryfe amonge them, whych of them shuld seme to be the greatest. ²⁵ And he sayde vnto them: the kynges of nacyons raygne ouer them: and they that haue auctoryte vpon them, are called gracious lordes. ²⁶ But ye shall not be so. But he that is greatest amonge you, shalbe as the younger: and he that is chefe, shalbe as he that doth mynister. ²⁷ For whether is greater, he that sytteth at meate, or he that serueth? Is not he that sytteth at meate? But I am amonge you, as he that mynistreth.

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

³ that nothinge be done thorowe stryfe or of vayne glory, but in mekenes of mynde, let euery man esteme another better then hym selfe. ⁴ Loke not ye euery man on hys awne thinges, but euery man on the thinges that are other mens. ⁵ Let the same mynde be in you, that was also in Christ Iesu:

⁷ For a bysshope must be blamesse, as the stewarde of God: not stubborne, not angrye not geuen to moch wyne, no fyghter, not geuen to fylthy lucre: ⁸ but a keper of hospitalite, one that loueth goodnes sobre, ryghteous, godly, temperat, 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. ¹⁰ For ther are many vnruely and talkers of vanite, and disceauers of myndes, specially they that are of the circumcision, ¹¹ whose mouthes must be stopped which peruert whole houses, teachinge thinges which they ought not, because of fylthy lucre. ¹² One of them selues (euen a prophete of their awne) sayde: The Cretyans are all wayes lyars, euyll beastes, slowe belyes. ¹³ Thys wytnes is true: wherfore rebuke thou them sharply, that they maye be sounde in the fayth, ¹⁴ not takynge hede to Iewes fables and commaundementes of men that turne awaye the trueth. ¹⁵ Unto the pure, are all thynges pure: but vnto them that are defyled and vnbeleuynge, is nothynge pure: but euen the mynde and conscience of them is defyled. ¹⁶ They confesse that they knowe God: but with the dedes they denye hym seinge they are abominable and disobedient, & vnapte vnto euery good worcke.

⁸ We therfore ought to receaue such, that we myght be helpers to the trueth.

⁸ A wyse man will receaue warnynge, but a pratinge fole shall be punyshed.

¹⁰ He that wynciteth with his eye, will do some harme: but he that hath a foolyshe mouth, shalbe beaten.

⁵ Heare the worde of God all ye that feare the thynge which he speaketh. Youre brethren that hate you, and cast you out for my names sake, saye: The Lorde is haynouse against vs, but you shall se him in ioye when they shalbe confounded.

²² Blessed shall ye be, when men hate you, & thrust you out of their company, and rayle on you, and abhorre your names as an euyll thing, for the sonne of mannes sake.

²² Suche wordes spake hys father and mother, because they feared the Iewes. For the Iewes had conspyred all ready, that yf eny man dyd confesse that he was Christ, he shulde be excommunicat out of the synagoge.

³⁴ They answered, and sayd vnto hym: thou art al together borne in synne, and dost thou teach vs? And they cast him out. ³⁵ Iesus heard that they had excommunicate hym: and when he had founde hym, he sayde vnto hym: doest thou beleue on the sonne of God?

¹ There goeth a commen sayinge that ther is fornicacion amonge you, and soch fornicacyon, as is not named amonge the gentyls: that one shuld haue hys fathers wyfe. ² And ye swell, and haue not rather sorowed, that he which hath done thys dede, myght be put from amonge you. ³ For I verely as absent in body, but present in sprete, haue determined allready (as though I were present) concernynge hym that hath done this dede, ⁴ in the name of oure Lord Iesu Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my sprete wt you, with the power of the Lorde Iesus Chryst ⁵ to delyuer hym vnto Satan, for the destruccyon of the flesshe, that the sprete maye be saued in the daye of the Lorde Iesus.

¹ I Paul my selfe beseche you by the mekenesse & softenesse of Christ, which whan I am present amonge you, am of no reputacyon: but am bolde towarde you beynge absent. ² I beseche you, that I nede not to be bolde whan I am presente, with that same boldnesse, wherewith I am supposed to haue bene bolde, agaynst some, which repute vs as though we walked carnally. ³ For though we walke in the flesshe, yet we do not warre flesshly. ⁴ For the weapens of oure warrefare are not carnall thynges, but thynges myghty in God, to cast downe stronge holdes, ⁵ wherewith we ouerthrowe councels and euery hye thynge that exalteth it selfe agaynst the knowledge of God, and brynge into captiuyte all ymaginacion to the obedience of Christ, ⁶ & are ready to take vengeaunce on all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfylled. 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. ⁸ For though I boaste my selfe somwhat more of oure auctorite (which the Lorde hath geuen vs to edifye, and not to destroye you) it shall not be to my shame: ⁹ lest I shulde seme as though I wente aboute to make you afrayede with letters. ¹⁰ For the epistles (sayth he) are sore, and stronge: but hys bodelye presence is weake, and hys speache rude. ¹¹ Lett hym that is soche thynke on thys wyse: that as we are in wordes by letters, when we are absent, soche are we in dedes, when we are present.

² I tolde you before, & tell you before: and as I sayd when I was present with you the seconde tyme, so wryte I nowe beynge absent, to them which in tyme past haue synned, & to all other: that yf I come agayne, I wyll not spare,

⁵ Beloued thou doest faythfully, what soeuer thou doest to the brethren, and to straungers,

² Thou shalt not folowe a multitude to do euell: nether answere in a matter of plee that thou woldest (to folowe many) turne asyde from the trueth,

¹⁴ Eschue euell, & do good. seke peace and ensue it.

²⁷ Fle from euell, and do the thynge that is good, and dwel for euer.

¹¹ He that tylleth his lande, shall haue plenteousnesse of bread: but he that foloweth ydylnes: is a very foole.

¹⁶ Wash you therfore, and make you cleane, put awaye your euell ententes out of my syght, cease from doynge of euell. ¹⁷ Lerne to do ryght, applye your selues to equite, delyuer the oppressed, helpe the fatherles to his ryght, let the widowes complainte come before you.

²⁰ For euery one that euyll doeth, hateth the lyght: nether commeth to the lyght, lest his dedes shuld be reproued.

²⁷ my shepe heare my voyce: and I knowe them, & they folowe me,

²⁶ If eny man mynister vnto me, lett him folowe me: and Where I am, there shall also my minister be. Yf any man mynister vnto me, hym will my father honoure.

¹⁶ Wherfore, I desyre you to folowe me.

¹ Be ye the folowers of me, as I am the folower of Christ.

¹ Be ye therfore folowers of God as deare chyldren,

¹⁷ Brethren, be folowers together of me, and loke on them which walke euen so, as ye haue vs for an ensample.

⁶ And ye became folowers of vs and of the Lorde, receauynge the worde with moch affliccyon, with ioye of the holy goost:

¹⁴ For ye brethren became folowers of the cogregacyons of God whych in Iewry are in Christ Iesu: for ye haue suffred lyke thynges of youre kynsmen, as we oure selues haue suffered of the Iewes.

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

¹² that ye faynt not, but be folowers of them, which thorowe fayth and pacience receaue the enheritaunce of the promyse.

¹¹ Let him eschue euyll, & do good: let him seke peace, and ensue it.

¹³ Morouer, who is it that wyll harme you, yf ye folowe that whych is good?

²⁹ If ye knowe that he his righteous, knowe also that euery one which doth rightewesnes, is borne of hym.

⁶ As many as byde in hym, synne not: whosoeuer synneth, hath not sene hym, nether knowne hym. ⁷ Babes, let no man deceaue you. He that doeth ryghteousnes, is ryghteous, euen as he is ryghteous. ⁸ He that committeth synne, is of the deuyll: for the deuyll synneth sence the beginnynge. For this purpose appeared the sonne of God, to lowse the worckes of the deuyl. ⁹ Whosoeuer is borne of God, synneth not: for his seed remayneth in him, and he cannot synne, because he is borne of God.

³⁵ And he that sawe it, bare recorde, & hys record is true. And he knoweth that he sayth true, that ye might beleue also.

²⁴ The same dyscyple is he, which testifieth of these thynges, and wrote these thynges. And we knowe, that hys testimony is true.

²² They sayd: Cornelius the captayne a iust man, and one that feareth God, & of good reporte amonge all the people of the Iewes, was warned by an holy angell to sende for the into his house, & to heare wordes of the.

¹² And one Ananias a parfecte man, (and as pertaynynge to the lawe hauynge good reporte of all the Iewes, whych there dwelt)

¹² that ye maye behaue youre selues honestly towarde them that are wythout, and that nothynge be lackynge vnto you.

⁷ He must also haue a good reporte of them whych are without, lest he fall into rebuke, and snare of the euyll speaker.

¹² I had many thynges to wryte vnto you, neuerthelesse I wolde not wryte wt paper and ynke: but I trust to come vnto you, & speake wt you mouth to mouth, that oure ioye maye be full:

²³ And he sayde: peace be vnto you, feare not: youre God and the God of youre father hath geuen you that treasure in youre sackes, I had youre money. And he brought Simeon out to them,

¹ Nabuchodonosor kynge vnto all people, kynreddes and tunges that dwell vpon the whole earth: peace be multiplied among you.

¹ I commende vnto you Phebe, oure syster (which is a minyster of the congregacion of Cenchrea) ² that ye receaue her in Christ, as it becommeth sainctes, and that ye assyst her in what soeuer busynes she neadeth of youre ayde. For she hath suckered many, and myne awne selfe also. ³ Grete Prisca and Aquila my helpers in Christ Iesu, ⁴ whych haue for my lyfe layde downe their awne neckes. Unto whom not I onely geue thankes, but also all the congregacions of the Gentyls. ⁵ Lyke wyse, grete the congregacion that is in their house. Salute my welbeloued Ephenetes, which is the fyrst frute of Achaia in Christ. ⁶ Grete Mary which bestowed moch labour on vs. ⁷ Salute Andronicus and Iunia my cosyns, and presoners with me also: which are well taken amonge the Apostles, & were in Christ before me. ⁸ Grete Amplias my beloued in the Lorde. ⁹ Salute Urban oure helper in Christ, & Stachys my beloued. ¹⁰ Salute Appelles approued in Christ. Salute them, which are of Aristobolus housholde. ¹¹ Salute Herodion my kynsman. Grete them that be of the housholde of Narcissus, whych are in the Lorde. ¹² Salute Triphena and Triphosa, whych labour in the Lorde. Salute the beloued Persis, which laboured moch in the Lorde. ¹³ Salute Rufus chosen in the Lorde, and his mother and myne. ¹⁴ Grete Asyncritus, Phlegon, Herman, Patrobas, Mercurius, and the brethren which are wyth them. ¹⁵ Salute Philologus and Iulia, Nereus and his syster, and Olympha, & all the saynctes which are with them. ¹⁶ Salute one another wyth an holy kysse. The congregacions of Christ salute you.

¹⁶ I saye: walke in the sprete, and fulfyll not the lust of the flesshe.

²³ Peace be vnto the brethren and loue with fayth, from God the father and from the Lorde Iesus Chryst.

¹⁴ Grete ye one another wyth the kysse of loue. Peace be wt you all, which are in Christ Iesu. Amen.
