Romans 5 Cross References - Great

¹ Because therfore that we are iustifyed by fayth, we are at peace with God, thorow oure Lorde Iesus Christ: ² by whom also it chaunsed vnto vs to be brought in thorow fayth, vnto thys grace, wherin we stande, and reioyce in hope of the glory of God. ³ Not that onely: but also we reioyce in tribulacyons: knowyng that tribulacyon bryngeth pacience, ⁴ pacience bryngeth experience, experience bryngeth hope. ⁵ And hope maketh not ashamed: because the loue of God is sheed abroad in oure hertes, by the holy ghost whych is geuen vnto vs. ⁶ For when we were yet weake, accordyng to the tyme, Christ dyed for vs whych were vngodly: ⁷ Yet scace wyll eny man dye for a ryghtewes man. Parauenture for a good man durst a man dye. ⁸ But God setteth out his loue toward vs, seynge that whyll we were yet synners Christ dyed for vs. ⁹ Moch more then now (we that are iustifyed by hys bloud) shall be saued from wrath thorow hym. ¹⁰ For yf when we were enemyes, we were reconcyled to God by the deeth of hys sonne: moch more, seynge we are reconcyled, we shalbe preserued by hys lyfe. ¹¹ Not onely this, but we also ioye in God by the meanes of oure Lorde Iesus Christ, by whom we haue now optayned the attonment. ¹² Wherfore, as by one man, synne entred into the worlde, and deeth by the meanes of synne. ¹³ Euen so deeth also went ouer all men, in so moch as all we haue synned. For euen vnto the lawe was synne in the worlde, but synne is not imputed, whan ther is no lawe: ¹⁴ neuerthelesse deeth raygned from Adam to Moses, euen ouer them also that had not synned wyth lyke transgression as dyd Adam: which beareth the similitude of him that was to come. ¹⁵ But the gyfte is not lyke as the synne. For yf thorow the synne of one, many be deed: moche more plenteous vpon many was the grace of God & gyfte by grace; whych was of one man Iesus Christ. ¹⁶ And the gyfte is not ouer one synne: as deeth cam thorow one synne of one that synned. For damnacyon came of one synne vnto condemnacyon: but the gyft came to iustify from many synnes. ¹⁷ For yf by the synne of one, deeth raygned by the meanes of one: moch more they (whych receaue aboundance of grace and of the gyfte of ryghtewesnes) shall raygne in lyfe by the meanes of one (that is to saye) Iesus Christ. ¹⁸ Lyke wyse then as by the synne of one there sprang vp euell on all men to condemnacyon: euen so by the ryghteousnes of one, spryngeth good vpon all men to the ryghteousnes of lyfe. ¹⁹ For as by one mannes disobedience many became synners: so by the obedience of one, shall many be made ryghteous. ²⁰ But the lawe in the meane tyme entred in, the synne shulde encreace. Neuerthelater where aboundance of synne was, there was more plenteousnes of grace. ²¹ That as synne had raygned vnto deeth, euen so myght grace raygne thorow ryghtewesnes, vnto eternall lyfe, by the helpe of Iesu Christ.

²¹ For what careth he what become of his housholde after hys death, whan the nombre of his monethes is cut short?

⁸ I wyll herken what the Lorde God will saye: for he shall speake peace vnto his people and to hys saynctes, that they turne not agayne. ⁹ For his saluacyon is nye them that feare him, that glory maye dwell in oure lande. ¹⁰ Mercy and trueth are met together, ryghtuousnesse and peace haue kyssed eche other.

¹⁶ For God so loue the worlde, that, he gaue is only begotten sonne, that whosoeuer beleueth in him, shulde not perisshe, but haue euerlastyng lyfe. ¹⁷ For God sent not his sonne into the worlde, to condempne the worlde but that the world through him myght be saued. ¹⁸ He that beleueth on him, is not condemned. But he that beleueth not, is condemned all ready, because he hath not beleued in the name of the onely begotten sonne of God,

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

²² The ryghtewesnes of God, commeth by the fayth of Iesus Christ, vnto all and vpon all them that beleue. Ther is no dyfference:

²⁶ to shewe at thys tyme hys ryghtewesnes, that he might be counted iust, and the iustifyar of hym whych beleueth on Iesus. ²⁷ Where is then thy reioysynge? It is excluded. By what lawe? of workes? Naye: but by the lawe of fayth. ²⁸ Therfore we holde, that a man is iustifyed by fayth without the dedes of the lawe:

³⁰ For it is God only which iustifyeth the circumcisyon that is of fayth, and vncircumcisyon thorow fayth

⁵ To hym that worketh not, but beleueth on him that iustifyeth the vngodly, is his fayth counted for ryghtewesnes.

²⁴ but also for vs, to whom it shalbe counted so that we beleue on hym, that raysed vp Iesus oure Lorde from the deed: ²⁵ whych was delyuered for oure synnes, and was raysed agayne for oure iustificacyon.

⁹ Moch more then now (we that are iustifyed by hys bloud) shall be saued from wrath thorow hym. ¹⁰ For yf when we were enemyes, we were reconcyled to God by the deeth of hys sonne: moch more, seynge we are reconcyled, we shalbe preserued by hys lyfe.

¹⁸ Neuerthelesse, all thynges are of God, whych hath reconcyled vs vnto him selfe by Iesus Christ, and hath geuen to vs the offyce to preache the attonement. ¹⁹ For God was in Christ, and made agrement betwene the worlde and him selfe, & imputed not their synnes vnto them, and hath commytted to vs the preachynge of the attonement. ²⁰ Now then are we messengers in the rowme of Christ euen as though God dyd beseche you thorow vs. So praye we you in Christes stede, that ye be reconcyled vnto God:

¹⁶ knowe that a man is not iustifyed by the dedes of the lawe, but by the fayth of Iesus Christ: And we haue beleued on Iesus Chryst, that we might be iustifyed by the faith of Christ, and not by the dedes of the lawe: because by the dedes of the lawe no flesshe shalbe iustifyed.

¹¹ That no man is iustifyed by the lawe in the syght of God, it is euydent. For the iuste shall lyue by fayth. ¹² The lawe is not of fayth: but the man that fulfylleth the thinges shal lyue in them. ¹³ Christ hath deliuered vs from the curse of the lawe, in as moche as he was made accursed for vs: For it is written: cursed is euery one, that hangeth on tree, ¹⁴ that the blessynge of Abraham myght come on the Gentyls thorowe Iesus Christ, that we myght receaue the promes of the sprete thorowe fayth.

²⁵ But after that fayth is come, we are no lenger vnder the scolemaster.

⁴ Christ is become but in vayne vnto you. As many of you as are iustifyed by the lawe are fallen from grace. ⁵ We loke for, and hope in the sprete to be iustifyed thorowe fayth. ⁶ For in Iesu Christ, nether is circumcisyon any thynge worth, nether yet vncircumcysion but faith which worketh by loue.

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

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

²⁰ and by him to reconcyle all thinge vnto him selfe, and to set at peace by hym thorowe the bloude of hys crosse, both thynges in heauen and thinges in erth.

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

²³ The very God of peace sanctifye you thorowe out. And I praye God that youre whole sprete, and soule and body, maye be preserued: so that in nothyng ye maye be blamed in the commynge of oure Lorde Iesus Chryst.

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,

²³ & the scripture was fulfylled, which sayth: Abraham beleued God, and it was reputed vnto hym for ryghtewesnes: & he was called the frende of God. ²⁴ Ye se then how that of dedes a man is iustifyed, and not of fayth onely. ²⁵ Lykewyse also, was not Raab the harlot iustifyed thorow workes, when she had receaued the messengers, and had sent them out another waye? ²⁶ For as the body, wythout the sprete is deed, euen so fayth wythout workes is deed also.

¹⁸ And he sayde: I besech the, shewe me thy glorye. ¹⁹ And he sayde: I wyll make all my good go before the, and I wyll be called in this name of the Lorde before the and will shewe mercy to whom I wyll shewe mercye, and wyll haue compassyon on whom I wyll haue compassion. ²⁰ And he sayd furthermore: thou mayst not se my face: for there shall no man se me, and lyue.

²⁵ For I am sure, that my redemer lyueth, and that I hall ryse out of the earth in the latter daye: ²⁶ that I shall be clothed agayne with this skynne, and se God in my flesh. ²⁷ Yee, I my selfe shall beholde him, not with other, but with these same eyes. My reynes are consumed within me:

⁹ I haue set God alwayes before me, for he is on my right hande, therfore I shall not fall. ¹⁰ Wherfore my hert was glad, & my glory reioysed, my flesh also shall rest in hope. ¹¹ For why? thou shalt not leaue my soule in hell, nether shalt thou suffre thy holy one to se corrupcion. Thou shalt shewe me the path of lyfe: in thy presence is the fulnesse of ioye, and at thy ryght hande ther is pleasure for euermore.

¹⁵ They haue children at their desyre: & leaue the reste of theyr substaunce for theyr babes. But as for me, I wyll beholde thy presence in righteousnes: & when I awake vp after thy lykenes, I shalbe satisfyed with it.

²⁴ Thou shalt gyde me with thy councell, and afterwarde receaue me with glory.

³² The vngodly is cast awaye for hys iniquitye, but the ryghteous hath a good hope euen in death.

²¹ His Lord sayde vnto him: well thou good and faythfull seruaunt. Thou hast bene faythfull ouer fewe thinges, I wyll make the ruler ouer many thinges: entre thou into the ioye of thy Lorde.

⁷ Then sayd Iesus vnto them agayne: Uerely verely, I saye vnto you: I am the dore of the shepe.

⁹ I am the dore: by me yf any man entre in, he shalbe safe, and shall go in and out, and fynde pasture.

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

²⁷ When they were come, and had gathered the congregacion together, they rehersed all that God had doue by them and how he had opened the dore of fayth vnto the Gentyls.

⁷ that is to saye, prayse, honoure and immortalite, to them whych contynue in good doyng; and seke immortalite.

²³ for all haue synned, and are destitute of the glorye of God:

⁵ And hope maketh not ashamed: because the loue of God is sheed abroad in oure hertes, by the holy ghost whych is geuen vnto vs.

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

¹⁷ If we be sonnes, then are we also heyres, the heyres I meane of God, & heyres anexed with Chryst yf so be that we suffer with hym, that we maye be also glorified together with hym. ¹⁸ For I suppose that the afflyccyons of thys lyfe, are not worthy of the glory, which shalbe shewed vpon vs.

²⁴ For we are sauyd by hope. But hope that is sene, is no hope. For how can a man hope for that, which he seyth?

³⁰ Moreouer, whom he appoynted before, them also he called. And whom he hath called, them also he iustyfyed: and whom he iustyfyed, them he also gloryfyed. ³¹ What shall we then saye to these thinges? yf God be on oure syde, who can be agaynst vs? ³² which spared not hys awne sonne, but gaue him for vs all: how can it be, that with hym he shulde not geue vs all thynges also? ³³ Who shall laye eny thynge to the charge of Goddes chosen; it is God that iustyfyeth: ³⁴ who is he that can condempne? it is Chryst which dyed, yee, rather which is rysen agayne, which is also on the ryght hande of God, and maketh intercessyon for us. ³⁵ Who shall seperate vs from the loue of God? shall tribulacyon? or angusshe? or persecucyon? other honger? ether nakednesse? ether parell? ether swearde? ³⁶ As it is written: for thy sake are we kylled all daye longe, and are counted as shepe apoynted to be slayne. ³⁷ Neuerthelesse, in all these thynges we ouercome thorowe hym that loued vs. ³⁸ For I am sure, that nether deeth, nether lyfe, nether Angels, nor rule, nether power, nether thynges present, nether thynges to come, ³⁹ nether heygth, nether loweth, nether eny other creature shal be able to departe vs from the loue of God, which is in Christ Iesu oure Lorde.

¹² Reioyce in hope. Be pacient in tribulacion. Continue in prayer.

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

¹ Brethren, as pertaynynge to the gospell whych I preached vnto you, whych ye haue also accepted, and in the whych ye contynue,

¹⁸ But we all beholde in a myrroure the glorye of the Lorde with his face open, and are chaunged vnto the same similitude, from glory to glory, euen as of the sprete of the Lorde.

¹⁷ For oure tribulacyon which is momentany and lyght. prepareth an excedinge & an eternall wayght of glorye vnto vs,

¹⁸ For thorowe hym we both haue an intraunce, in one sprete vnto the father.

¹² by whom we haue boldnesse and entraunce with the confidence which is by the fayth of hym.

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.

¹⁶ Oure Lorde Iesu Christ hym selfe, and God and oure father (which hath loued vs, and hath geuen vs euerlastynge consolacyon, and good hope thorowe grace)

⁶ But Christ as a sonne, hath rule ouer the house, whose house are we, yf we holde fast the confydence and the reioysynge of that hope, vnto the ende.

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

¹⁹ Seyng therfore brethren, that by the meanes of the bloud of Iesu we haue libertye to enter into the holy place, ²⁰ by the new & lyuing waye whych he hath prepared for vs, through the vayle (that is to saye, by his flesshe.)

³ Blessed be God the father of oure Lord Iesus Chryst, whych accordyng to his aboundant mercye begat vs agayne vnto a lyuely hope (by that that Iesus Christ rose agayne from deeth) ⁴ to an inherytaunce immortall and vndefyled, and that perissheth not, reserued in heauen for you, ⁵ whych are kept by the power of of God thorow fayth, vnto saluacion, whych is prepared allready to be shewed in the last tyme, ⁶ in the whych ye reioyce, though now for a season (yf nede require) ye are in heuynes, thorowe manifolde temptacyons, ⁷ that the triall of youre fayth beyng moche more precious then golde that peryssheth (though it be tryed with fyre) myght be founde vnto laude, glory and honoure, at the apperynge of Iesus Chryst, ⁸ whom ye haue not sene, & yet loue hym, in whome euen now, though ye se hym not, yet do you beleue, and reioyce with ioye vnspeakable and glorious ⁹ receauyge the ende of your fayth, euen the saluacyon of youre soules.

¹⁸ For as moch as Christ hath once suffered for synnes, the iust for the vniust, to bring vs to God, and was kylled, as pertayninge to the flesshe: but was quyckened in the sprete.

¹ Beholde, what loue the father hath shewed on vs, that we shuld be called the the sonnes of God. For this cause the worlde knoweth you not, because it knoweth not hym. ² Dearely beloued, now are we the sonnes of God & yet it doth not appeare, what we shalbe. But we knowe, that when it shall appeare, we shalbe lyke him. For we shall se hym as he is. ³ And euery man that hath this hope in him, pourgeth him selfe, euen as he also is pure.

²¹ To hym that ouercommeth wyll I graunte to syt with me in my seate, euen as I ouercam, & haue sytten with my father in his seate.

³ And I herde a greate voyce out of heauen sayinge: beholde, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he wyll dwell wyth them. And they shall be hys people, and God hym selfe shalbe wyth them, and be theyr God.

¹¹ hauyng the bryghtnes of God. And her shynynge was lyke vnto a stone moste precious, euen lyke a Iasper cleare as Cristall:

²³ And the cytie hath no nede of the sonne, nether of the mone to lighten it. For the brightnes of God dyd lyght it, and the lambe was the lyght of it.

⁴ And they shall se hys face, and his name shalbe in their forheddes ⁵ And there shall be no nyght there, & they nede no candle, nether light of the sunne: for the Lorde God geueth them lyght, and they shall raygne for euermore.

¹⁰ Blessed are they which suffre persecucyon for righteousnes sake: for theirs is the kingdome of heauen. ¹¹ Blessed are ye, when men reuyle you, and persecute you, and shall falesy say all maner of euyll sayinge against you, for my sake. ¹² Reioyse & be glad for greate is your rewarde in heuen. For so persecuted they the prophetes, which were before you.

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. ²³ Reioyse ye in that daye, and be glad: for beholde, your rewarde is greate in heauen. For thus dyd theyr fathers vnto the prophetes.

¹⁹ Possesse ye youre soule by pacience.

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

³⁵ Who shall seperate vs from the loue of God? shall tribulacyon? or angusshe? or persecucyon? other honger? ether nakednesse? ether parell? ether swearde? ³⁶ As it is written: for thy sake are we kylled all daye longe, and are counted as shepe apoynted to be slayne. ³⁷ Neuerthelesse, in all these thynges we ouercome thorowe hym that loued vs.

²³ They are the mynisters of Chryst (I speake as a foole) I am more. In labours more aboundante: In strypes aboue measure: In preson more plenteouslye: In deeth ofte. ²⁴ Of the Iewes fyue tymes receaued I euery tyme .xl. strypes saue one. ²⁵ Thryse was I beaten wt roddes, I was once stoned, I suffered thryse shypwracke. Nyght and daye haue I bene in the deepe see. ²⁶ In iorneying often: in parels of waters: in parels of robbers: in ieopardyes of myne awne nacyon: in ieopardyes among the hethen: in parels in the citie: in parels in wildernes: in parels in the see: in parels amonge false brethren: ²⁷ in laboure & trauayle: in watchinges often: in honger and thyrst: in fastynges often: in colde and nakednes: ²⁸ besyde the thinges which outwardly happen vnto me. I am combred daylye, and do care for all congregacyons. ²⁹ Who is weake, and I am not weake? who is offended, & I burne not? ³⁰ If I must nedes boast, I wyll boaste of the thynges that concerne myne infirmyties.

⁹ For this thynge besought I the Lorde thryse, that it might departe from me. ¹⁰ And he sayde vnto me: my grace is sufficient for the. For my strength is made parfect thorow weaknes. Uery gladly therfore wyll I reioyce of my weaknes, that the strength of Christ maye dwell in me.

¹³ Wherfore I desyre, that ye faynt not because of my tribulacions that I suffre for youre sakes: which is youre prayse.

²⁹ for vnto you it is geuen for Chryst, that not onely ye shulde beleue on hym: but also that ye shulde suffre for hys sake,

¹⁷ Yee and though I be offered vp vpon the offeringe & sacrifyce of youre fayth: I reioyce and reioyce with you all. ¹⁸ For the same cause also do ye reioyce, and reioyce with me.

¹⁰ And they verely for a feaw dayes, nurtred vs after theyr awne pleasure: but he nurteth vs for our profit, to the intent that he maye mynister of his holynes vnto vs. ¹¹ No maner chastisyng for the present tyme semeth to be ioyous, but greueous: neuertheles afterwarde, it bringeth the quyet frute of ryghtewesnes, vnto them which are exercysed therby.

² My brethren, count it for an excedyng ioye, when ye fall into diuers temptacyons: ³ knowyng this, that the trying of your fayth gendreth pacience:

¹² Happy is the man that endureth temptacyon: for when he is tryed, he shall receaue the crowne of lyfe, which the Lorde hath promysed to them that loue hym.

¹⁴ Yee, happy are ye, yf anye trouble happen vnto you for rightewesnesse sake. Be not ye afrayed for anye terroure of them, nether be ye troubled

¹⁶ If eny man suffre as a Christen man, let him not be ashamed: but let him glorifye God on this behalfe. ¹⁷ For the tyme is come, that iudgement must begynne at the house of God. If it fyrst begynne at vs, what shall the ende be of them, whych beleue not the Gospell of God?

²⁴ And it fortuned, that when they brought oute those kynges vnto Iosua: Iosua called for all the men of Israell, and sayde vnto the chefe of the men of warre, which wente with hym: come nere, & put youre fete vpon the neckes of these kynges. And they cam neare: and put their fete vpon the neckes of them. ²⁵ And Iosua sayde vnto them: Ye shall not feare, ner be faynt harted. But be strong and plucke vp youre hertes, for thus shall the Lorde do to all youre enemyes agaynst whom ye fyght.

³⁴ Dauid answered vnto Saul. Thy seruaunt kept his fathers shepe, & there came a Lyon and lykewise a Beare, & toke a shepe out of the flocke. ³⁵ And I went out after him, and smote hym, and toke it out of his mouth. And when he arose agaynst me, I caught him by the bearde, and smote hym, & slue hym. ³⁶ And so thy seruaunt slue the Lyon & the beare (also) hath thy seruaunt slayne. And truly thys vncircumcised Philistine shalbe as one of them seynge he hath rayled on the hoste of the lyuing God. ³⁷ And Dauid spake moreouer: the Lorde that deliuered me out of the hande of the Lyon & out of the hande of the beare, he shall delyuer me also out of the hande of this Philistine: And Saul sayde vnto Dauid: go, and the Lorde shall be with the.

² When the wycked (euen myne enemyes and my foes) came vpon me, to eate vp my fleshe, they stombled & fell. ³ Though an hoost of men were layed agaynst me, yet shall not my hert be astrayed: and though there rose vp warre agaynst me, yet will I put my trust in this.

⁴ Why art thou so full of heuynes (O my soule) and why art thou so vnquiete within me? ⁵ Put thy trust in God, for I wyll yet geue hym thankes, for the help of hys countenaunce.

¹⁴ I will go forth in the strength of the Lord God, & will make mencion of thy righteousnesse onely.

¹⁸ O what greate troubles and aduersyties hast thou shewed me? and yet didest thou turne and refreshe me: yee, and broughtest me from the depe of the earth ¹⁹ Thou hast brought me to great honour and comforted me on euery syde. ²⁰ Therfore will I prayse the and thy faythfulnesse, O God, playinge vpon an instrument of musick, vnto the wyll I synge vpon the harpe, O thou holy one of Israell. ²¹ My lyppes wylbe fayne, whan I synge vnto the: ²² and so will my soule whom thou hast deliuered. ²³ My tonge also shall talke of thy ryghteousnesse all the daye longe, ²⁴ for they are confounded and brought vnto shame, that seke to do me euell.

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

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. ⁵ For as the affliccyons of Christ are plenteous in vs, euen so is oure consolacyon plenteous by Christ. ⁶ Whether we be troubled for youre consolacyon and health, which saluacyon sheweth her power in that ye soffre the same affliccyons, which we also suffre: or whether we be comforted for youre consolacyon and saluacyon:

⁸ We are troubled on euery syde, yet are we not without shyft. We are in pouertie: but not vtterly without somwhat. ⁹ We suffre persecucion: but are not forsaken therin. We are cast downe: neuerthelesse we perysshe not. ¹⁰ We all wayes beare aboute in the bodye, the dyinge of the Lorde Iesus, that the lyfe of Iesu myght also appeare in oure bodye. ¹¹ For we which lyue, are alwayes delyuered vnto deeth for Iesus sake, that the lyfe also of Iesu myght appere in oure mortall flesshe ¹² So then, deeth worketh in vs, but lyfe in you.

⁹ as vnknowen, and yet knowen: as dyinge, and beholde, we lyue: as chastened, and not kylled: ¹⁰ as sorowing, & yet alwaye merye: as poore, and yet make many ryche: as hauinge nothyng, & yet possessyng all thynges.

¹⁶ At my fyrst answerynge, no man assisted me, but all forsoke me. I praye God, that it maye not be layde to their charges: ¹⁷ Not wythstandynge the Lorde, assysted me, and strengthed me, that by me the preachynge shulde be fulfylled to the vtmost, and that all the Gentyls shulde heare. And I was delyuered out of the mouth of the lyon. ¹⁸ And the Lorde shall delyuer me from all euyll doynge, and shall kepe me vnto hys heuenly kyngdom. To whom be prayse for euer and euer. Amen.

⁶ in the whych ye reioyce, though now for a season (yf nede require) ye are in heuynes, thorowe manifolde temptacyons, ⁷ that the triall of youre fayth beyng moche more precious then golde that peryssheth (though it be tryed with fyre) myght be founde vnto laude, glory and honoure, at the apperynge of Iesus Chryst,

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

⁸ For what hope hath the ypocryte though he haue greate good, and though God geue him riches after his hertes desyre?

⁴ Oure fathers hoped in the: they trusted in the, and thou dyddest delyuer them. ⁵ They called vpon the, and were helped: they put theyr trust in the, and were not confounded.

¹¹⁶ O stablishe me accordinge vnto thy worde, that I maye lyue, and let me not be disapoynted of my hope.

¹⁵ Because ye haue sayd: we haue made a couenaunt with death, & with hell are we at agrement. And though there go forth a sore plage, it shall nott come vnto vs. For we haue made falshode our refuge, and vnder vanitie are we hid. ¹⁶ Therfore thus sayth the Lorde God: Beholde, I laye in Sion for a foundation a stone, euen a tryed stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: Whoso beleueth, let hym not be to hastye. ¹⁷ Iudgment also will I laye to the rule, and righteousnes to the balaunce: so that the hayle shall take awaye your vayne confidence as a broome, and the preuy place of youre refuge shall the waters renne ouer. ¹⁸ And thus the couenaunt that ye made wt death, shalbe disanulled: and your agrement that ye made with hell, shall not stand. Yee, when the sore plage goeth forth, ye shalbe troden downe vnder it. From the tyme that it goeth forth, it shall take you awaye.

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

¹⁶ Confounded are they all, and put to dishonoure: they are gone hence together with shame, euen the makers of ymages. ¹⁷ But Israel shalbe saued in the Lorde, which is the euerlastinge saluacyon. Ye shall not come to shame ner confusyon, worlde without ende.

²³ For kinges shalbe thy nursyng fathers, and quenes shalbe thy nursing mothers. They shall fall before the wt theyr faces flatt vpon the earth: and lycke vp the dust of thy fete: that thou mayst knowe how that I am the Lorde. And who so putteth his trust in me, shall not be confounded.

⁵ Thus sayth the Lord. Cursed be the man that putteth his trust in man, and that taketh fleshe for his arme: and he, whose herte departeth from the Lorde: ⁶ He shall be lyke the heath, that groweth in the wyldernes. As for the good thyng that is for to come, he shall not se it: but dwel in a drye place of the wyldernes, in a salt and vnoccupyed lande. ⁷ O blessed is the man, that putteth his trust in the Lorde, and whose hope is the Lorde him selfe. ⁸ For he shalbe as a tre, that is planted by the water syde: whyche spredeth out the rote vnto moystnesse, whom the heate cannot harme, when it commeth, but his leaffe shalbe grene. And though there growe but lytle frute because of drouth, yet is he not carefull, but he neuer leaueth of to brynge forth frute.

²⁵ Then will I poure cleare water vpon you, and ye shalbe clene: yee, from all your vnclennesse and from all your Idols shall I clense you.

³⁶ Master, which is the greate commaundement in the lawe? ³⁷ Iesus sayd vnto hym: Thou shalt loue the Lord thy God wyth all thy herte, and wyth all thy soule, & wyth all thy mynde.

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

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.

¹⁴ For as many as are led by the sprete of God, ¹⁵ they are the sonnes of God. For ye haue not receaued the sprete of bondage to feare eny mor are, but ye haue receaued the sprete of adopcyon, wherby we crye: Abba father. ¹⁶ The same sprete certyfyeth oure sprete that we are the sonnes of God. ¹⁷ If we be sonnes, then are we also heyres, the heyres I meane of God, & heyres anexed with Chryst yf so be that we suffer with hym, that we maye be also glorified together with hym.

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

³ But yf eny man loue God, the same is knowen of him.

²² whych hath also sealed vs, and hath geuen the ernest of the sprete in oure hertes.

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

⁶ Because ye are sonnes, God hathe sent the sprete of hys sonne into oure hertes, cryinge: Abba father.

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

¹³ In whom also we beleue, for asmoche as we haue hearde the worde of trueth, euen the Gospell of youre saluacyon: wherin, whan ye had beleued ye were sealed with the holy sprete of promes

¹⁶ that he wolde graunt you accordynge to the ryches of hys glorye, that ye maye be strengthed with might by his sprete in the inner man, ¹⁷ that Christ maye dwell in youre hertes by fayth, that ye beynge roted and grounded in loue, ¹⁸ myght be able to comprehende with all saynctes, what is the bredth and length, deepth and heygth: ¹⁹ & to knowe the excellent loue of the knowledge of Christ that ye myght be fulfylled with all fulnes, which commeth of God.

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

²⁰ accordinge to my expectacion, and hope, that in nothinge I shalbe ashamed: but that wyth all boldnesse, (as all wayes euen so nowe also) Christ shall be magnifyed in my body, whether it be thorowe lyfe, or thorowe deeth.

¹² for the whych cause I also suffre these thynges. Neuerthelesse, I am not ashamed. For I knowe, and am sure, that he (in whom I haue put my trust) is able to kepe that whych I haue committed to hys kepynge, agaynst that daye.

⁵ not by the dedes of rightewesnes which we wrought, but accordynge to hys mercye he saued vs by the fountayne of the newe byrth, and renuynge of the holy goost, ⁶ which he shedd on vs abountdantly, thorowe Iesus Christ oure saueoure,

¹⁸ that by two immutable thynges (in whych it was vnpossible that God shulde lye) we myght haue a stronge consolacyon, which hitherto haue fled, for to holde fast the hope that is set before vs, ¹⁹ whych hope we holde as an ancre of the soule both sure and stedfast, whych hope also entreth in, into those thinges which are with in the vayle,

¹⁰ For this is the testament, that I wyll make wt the house of Israel: After those dayes (sayth the Lord) I wyll put my lawes in their myndes, and in their hertes I will write them, and I wylbe their God, and they shalbe my people. ¹¹ And they shall not teach euery man hys neyghboure, and euery man hys brother, saying: knowe the Lord: for they shall knowe me, from the least to the moste of them: ¹² For I wilbe mercyfull ouer their vnrightewesnes, and their synnes & their iniquities will I thinke vpon nomore.

¹⁹ We loue him, for he loued vs fyrst.

¹ Blessed is the man that hath not walked in the councel of the vngodly, ner stonde in the waye of sinners, & hath not sytt in the seate of the scornefull.

⁶ All the bewtie of the daughter of Sion is awaye, her princes are become lyke hertes that fynde no pasture. They are dryuen awaye before theyr enemie, so that they haue nomore power.

⁴ In the daye of thy byrth when thou wast borne, the stringe of thy nauell was not cut of: thou wast not bathed in water to make the clene: Thou wast nether rubbed wt salt, ner swadled in cloutes: ⁵ No man regarded the so moch, as to do any of these thinges for the, or to shewe the soch fauoure, but thou wast vtterly cast out vpon the felde, yee, despised wast thou in the daye of thy birth ⁶ Then came I by the, and sawe the troden downe in thyne awne bloude, & sayde vnto the: Lyue, although thou be defyled in thyne awne bloude, ye euen I (I tell the) sayde vnto the lyue, although thou be defyled in thyne awne bloude. ⁷ So I planted the as the blossome of the felde: thou art growen vp, & waxen greate: thou hast gotten a maruelous pleasaunt beutie, thy breastes are come vp, thy hearre is goodly growen, where as thou wast naked & bare afore. ⁸ Nowe whan I wente by the, & loked vpon the: beholde, thy tyme was come, yee, euen the tyme to wowe the. Then spred I my clothes ouer the, to couer thy dishonestye: yee, I made an othe vnto the, & maried my selfe with the (sayeth the Lord God) and so thou becamest myne awne.

¹⁵ So the kinge of the north shall come to laye sege, and to take the strong fensed cyties: And the power of them of the south shall not be able to abyde him, and the best men of the people shall not be so strong, as to resyst hym.

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

⁸ But God setteth out his loue toward vs, seynge that whyll we were yet synners Christ dyed for vs.

¹⁰ For yf when we were enemyes, we were reconcyled to God by the deeth of hys sonne: moch more, seynge we are reconcyled, we shalbe preserued by hys lyfe.

²⁶ and so all Israel shalbe saued. As it is wrytten. There shall come out of Syon he that doth delyuer, and shall turne awaye vngodlynes from Iacob.

⁴ But when the tyme was full come, God sent hys sonne, made of a woman, and made bonde vnto the lawe,

¹ And you hath he quickened where as ye were deed in treaspasses and synnes, ² in the which in tyme passed ye walked, accordyng to the course of this worlde, euen after the gouerner that ruleth in the ayer, the sprete that nowe worketh in the chyldren of vnbelefe ³ amonge whom we all had oure conuersacyon also in tyme past, in the lustes of oure flesshe, and fulfylled the wyll of the flesshe and of the mynde: and were by nature the chyldren of wrath, euen as well as other. ⁴ But God which is riche in mercy (for his greate loue wher with he loued vs, ⁵ euen when we were deed by synnes) quyckened vs together in Christ (by grace are ye saued)

¹³ And ye whan ye weare deed thorowe synne and thorowe the vncircumcisyon of youre flesshe, hath he quyckned with him, and hath forgeuen vs all oure trespaces

⁹ For God hath not appoynted vs to prouoke wrath vnto oure selues, but to obtayne saluacyon by the meanes of oure Lorde Iesu Christ

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,

¹² and teacheth vs that we shulde denye vngodlynes and worldy lustes, & that we shulde lyue soberly, and ryghteously, and godly in thys present worlde,

³ For we oure selues also were somtyme foolyshe dysobedient, deceaued, seruynge diuerse lustes and volupteousnes, lyuynge in maliciousnes and enuye, full of hate, hatynge one another. ⁴ But after that the kyndnes and loue of oure saueoure God to man warde appeared, ⁵ not by the dedes of rightewesnes which we wrought, but accordynge to hys mercye he saued vs by the fountayne of the newe byrth, and renuynge of the holy goost,

²⁶ for then must he haue often offered sence the worlde began. But now in the ende of the worlde, hath he appeared once, to put sinne to flight by the offerynge vp of him selfe.

²⁰ whych was ordeyned before hande, euen before the worlde was made: but was declared in the last tymes for your sakes,

⁵ nether spared the olde worlde, but saued. Noe the eyght preacher of ryghtewesnes, and brought in the floud vpon the worlde of the vngodly, ⁶ and turned the cyties of Zodom and Gomor into asshes: ouerthre we them, damned them, and made on them an ensample vnto those that after shulde lyue vngodly.

⁷ But the heauens and erth whych are now, be kept by hys worde in store, and reserued vnto fyre, agaynst the daye of iudgement & perdicion of vngodly men.

⁴ For ther are certayne vngodly men craftely crept in, of which it was written afore tyme vnto such iudgement. They turne the grace of oure God vnto wantannes, and denye God (which is the onely Lorde) and oure Lorde Iesus Christ.

¹⁵ to geue iudgement agaynst all men, & to rebuke all that are vngodly amonge them of all their vngodly dedes, which they haue vngodly committed, and of all their cruell speakynges, which vngodly synners haue spoken agaynst hym.

¹⁸ how that they tolde you that there shuld be begylers in the last tyme, which shuld walke after their awne vngodly lustes.

³ And the people answered: Thou shalt not go forth: for yf we fle, oure aduersaries will not care for vs: nether shall they regard vs, though halfe vs were slayne: but thou art worth ten thousande of vs: Wherfore it is better, that thou succoure vs out of the cytie.

²⁷ And the watcheman sayde. me thynketh the runnynge of the formost is lyke the runnynge of Ahimaaz the sonne of Sadock The kynge sayde: he is a good man, and commeth with good tydinges.

¹⁴ And Dauid was then in an holde. And the Soudioures of the Philistines were in Bethlehem. ¹⁵ And Dauid longed and sayde. Oh, that I had of the water that is in the well by the gate of Bethlehem, for to drincke. ¹⁶ And the thre myghtie brake thorowe the Host of the Philistines, & fett water out of the well of Bethlehem that was by the gate, and toke and brought it to Dauid: Neuerthelesse he wolde not dryncke therof, but offered it vnto the Lorde, ¹⁷ and sayde: the Lorde forbyd that I shulde do so. Is not this the bloude of the men that wente in ieopardye of their lyues? and therfore he wolde not dryncke it. And these thinges dyd these thre myghtie men.

⁵ A good man is mercyfull, and lendeth: and wyll gyde his wordes wt discrecion.

¹³ Greater loue hath no man, then thys: that a man bestowe hys lyfe for his frendes.

²⁴ For he was a good man, and full of the holy ghost & of faith: and moch people was added vnto the Lorde.

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.

¹⁶ Herby perceaue we loue: because he gaue his lyfe for vs: & we ought to geue oure liues for the brethren.

⁶ As for vs, we haue gone all astraye (like shepe) euery one hath turned his awne way. But the Lorde hath heaped together vpon him the iniquitie of vs all.

¹⁶ For God so loue the worlde, that, he gaue is only begotten sonne, that whosoeuer beleueth in him, shulde not perisshe, but haue euerlastyng lyfe.

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:

⁶ For when we were yet weake, accordyng to the tyme, Christ dyed for vs whych were vngodly:

²⁰ But the lawe in the meane tyme entred in, the synne shulde encreace. Neuerthelater where aboundance of synne was, there was more plenteousnes of grace.

⁶ to the prayse of the glory of hys grace, wherwith he hath made vs accepted thorowe the beloued. ⁷ By whome we haue redempcyon thorowe his bloude, euen the forgeuenes of synnes, accordinge to the ryches of grace: ⁸ wherof he hath minystred vnto vs aboundantlye in all wisdome and prudence.

¹⁶ Not wythstandynge for this cause optayned I mercy, that Iesus Christ shulde fyrst shewe on me all longe pacience, to declare an ensample vnto them which shulde beleue on him vnto eternall lyfe.

⁹ In this appeared the loue of God to vs ward, because that God sent hys onely begotten sonne into the worlde, that we might liue thorow him. ¹⁰ Herin is loue, not that we loued God, but that he loued vs, & sent hys sonne to be the agrement for oure synnes.

¹⁸ As it is written the iust shall lyue by fayth. For the wrath of God apeareth from heauen agaynst all vngodlynes and vnryghtewesnes of men, whych withholde the trueth in vnrightewesnes:

²⁴ but are iustifyed frely by his grace, through the redempcyon that is in Christ Iesu, ²⁵ whom God hath set forth to be the obtayner of mercy thorow fayth, by the meanes of hys bloude, to declare hys ryghteousnes, in that he forgeueth the synnes that are passed, whych God dyd suffre, ²⁶ to shewe at thys tyme hys ryghtewesnes, that he might be counted iust, and the iustifyar of hym whych beleueth on Iesus.

¹ Because therfore that we are iustifyed by fayth, we are at peace with God, thorow oure Lorde Iesus Christ:

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

¹³ But nowe by the meanes of Christ Iesu, ye which somtyme were farre of, are made nye by the bloude of Chryst.

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

¹⁴ how moch moare shall the bloud of Christ (which thorow the eternall sprete, offered him self without spot to God) pourge youre conscience from deed workes, for to serue the lyuinge God?

²² And almost all thinges are by the lawe purged with bloud, & without sheadinge of bloud is no remissyon.

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

³⁰ And no synneoffrynge, whose bloude is brought into the tabernacle of wytnesse to reconcyle wyth all in the holy place, shall be eaten: but shalbe burnt in the fyre.

²⁴ And the preastes slue them, and with the bloude of them they clensed the aulter, to make satisfaccion for all Israel: for the kynge commaunded, that the burnt offerynge and the synne offering shulde be made for all Israel.

²⁰ And thus shalt thou do also the seuenth daye of the moneth (for soch as haue synned of ignoraunce, or beynge disceaued) to reconcyle the house wt all.

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

²⁶ For as the father hath lyfe in hym selfe, so lykewyse hath he geuen to the sonne to haue lyfe in hym selfe:

⁴⁰ And thys is the will of him that sent me: that euery one whych seeth the sonne and beleueth on him, haue euerlasting lyfe. And I wyll rayse him vp at the last daye.

⁵⁷ As the lyuinge father hath sent me, and I liue for the father: Euen so he that eateth me, shall lyue by the meanes of me.

²⁸ and I geue vnto them eternall lyfe, and they shall neuer perissh, nether shall eny man plucke them oute of my hande. ²⁹ My father which gaue them me, is greater then all, and no man is able to take them oute of my fathers hand.

²⁵ Iesus sayth vnto her: I am the resurreccyon and the lyfe: He that beleueth on me, ye though he were deed, yet shall he lyue. ²⁶ And whosoeuer lyueth and beleueth on me, shall neuer dye: Beleuest thou this?

¹⁹ Yet a lytell while and the world seeth me nomore: but ye se me. For I lyue, & ye shall lyue.

¹¹ Not onely this, but we also ioye in God by the meanes of oure Lorde Iesus Christ, by whom we haue now optayned the attonment.

⁷ Because that the flesshly mynde is enemyte agaynst God: for it is not obedyent to the lawe of God, nether can be.

³² which spared not hys awne sonne, but gaue him for vs all: how can it be, that with hym he shulde not geue vs all thynges also?

³⁴ who is he that can condempne? it is Chryst which dyed, yee, rather which is rysen agayne, which is also on the ryght hande of God, and maketh intercessyon for us.

²⁸ As concernynge the gospell they are enemies for youre sakes: but as touchyng the eleccyon they are loued for the fathers sakes.

¹⁰ We all wayes beare aboute in the bodye, the dyinge of the Lorde Iesus, that the lyfe of Iesu myght also appeare in oure bodye. ¹¹ For we which lyue, are alwayes delyuered vnto deeth for Iesus sake, that the lyfe also of Iesu myght appere in oure mortall flesshe

¹⁸ Neuerthelesse, all thynges are of God, whych hath reconcyled vs vnto him selfe by Iesus Christ, and hath geuen to vs the offyce to preache the attonement. ¹⁹ For God was in Christ, and made agrement betwene the worlde and him selfe, & imputed not their synnes vnto them, and hath commytted to vs the preachynge of the attonement.

²¹ for he made him to be synne for vs, which knewe no synne, that we by his meanes shulde be that ryghtewesnes, which before God is alowed.

¹⁶ and to reconcyle both vnto God in one body thorowe the crosse, & slewe hatred therby:

²⁰ and by him to reconcyle all thinge vnto him selfe, and to set at peace by hym thorowe the bloude of hys crosse, both thynges in heauen and thinges in erth. ²¹ And you which were somtyme farre of and enemyes, because youre myndes were set in euyll worckes hath he nowe yet reconcyled

³ For ye are deed, and youre lyfe is hyd with Chryst in God. ⁴ Whensoeuer Chryst (which is oure lyfe) shall shewe hym selfe, then shall ye also appeare with hym in glory.

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

²⁵ Wherfore, he is able also euer to saue them to the vttemost, that come vnto God by him, seynge he euer lyueth to make intercession for vs.

¹⁸ & and am a lyue, and was deed. And beholde I am a lyue for euermore & haue the keyes of hell & of deeth.

¹ And Hanna prayed and sayde: myne herte reioyseth in the Lord, and myne horne is exalted in the Lorde. My mouth is wyde open ouer myne enemyes, for I reioyse in thy saluacyon.

¹¹ Greate plages remayne for the vngodly, but who so putteth hys trust in the Lorde, mercy embraceth him on euery syde. Be glad, O ye ryghteous and reioyse in the Lorde: and be ioyfull all ye that are true of herte.

⁴ And that I maye go vnto the aulter of God, euen vnto the God of my ioye & gladnesse, & vpon the harpe wyll I geue thankes vnto the (O God) my God.

³⁴ And so shall my wordes please him: my ioye shalbe in the Lorde.

² Let Israel reioyce in him that made hym, and let the chyldren of Sion be ioyfull in their king.

¹⁰ And therfore I am ioyfull in the Lorde, & my soule reioyseth in my God. For he hath put vpon me the garment of saluacion, & couered me with the mantle of ryghteousnes. He shall decke me lyke a brydegrome, and as a bride that hath hyr apparell vpon her.

¹⁷ For the fygg trees shal not be grene: & the vynes shal beare no frute. The laboure of the olyue shalbe but lost, & the lande shall bring no corne: the shepe shalbe taken out of the folde, and there shalbe no catel in the stalles. ¹⁸ But as for me, I wyll be glad in the Lorde, and will reioyce in God my Sauyoure.

⁴⁶ And Mary sayde. My soule magnifieth the Lord.

¹² But as many as receaued hym to them gaue he power to be the sonnes of God: euen them that beleued on hys name:

⁵⁰ Thys is that breed, whych commeth downe from heauen, that a man maye eate therof, & not dye. ⁵¹ I am that lyuinge bread, whych came downe from heauen. If eny man eate of this bread, he shall liue for euer And the breed that I will geue, is my flesshe, whych I will geue for the lyfe of the worlde. ⁵² The Iewes therfore stroue amonge them selues, saying: How can this felowe geue vs the flessh of his, to eate? ⁵³ Then Iesus sayde vnto them: Uerely, verely, I saye vnto you, except ye eate the flesshe of the sonne of man, and drinke his bloude: ye haue no lyfe in you. ⁵⁴ Whoso eateth my flesshe & dryncketh my bloude, hath eternall lyfe, & I wyll rayse him vp at the last daye. ⁵⁵ For my fleshe is meate in dede: and my bloude is drincke in dede. ⁵⁶ He that eateth my flesshe & drinketh my bloude, dwelleth in me and I in him. ⁵⁷ As the lyuinge father hath sent me, and I liue for the father: Euen so he that eateth me, shall lyue by the meanes of me. ⁵⁸ This is the breed, which cam downe from heauen: not as youre fathers dyd eate Manna, & are deed: He that eateth of this breed, shall lyue euer.

¹⁷ Beholde, thou art called a Iewe, and trustest in the lawe, and makest thy boast of God,

²⁹ Is he the God of the Iewes onely? Is he not also the God of the Gentyls? Yes, euen of the Gentyls also. ³⁰ For it is God only which iustifyeth the circumcisyon that is of fayth, and vncircumcisyon thorow fayth

¹⁵ For yf the castynge awaye of them, be the reconcylynge of the world: what shall the receauynge of them be, but lyfe agayne from deeth?

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

⁹ But nowe after that ye haue knowen God (yee rather are knowen of God) how is it that ye tourne agayn vnto the weake and beggarly ordinaunces, wherunto agayne ye desyre afresshe to be in bondage?

¹ Moreouer, (brethren) reioyce ye in the Lorde. It greueth me not to wryte one thynge often to you. For to you it is a sure thynge.

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

⁴ Reioyce in the Lord alwaye and agayne I saye reioyce.

⁶ As ye haue therfore receaued Christ Iesu the Lorde euen so walke ye in hym,

⁸ whom ye haue not sene, & yet loue hym, in whome euen now, though ye se hym not, yet do you beleue, and reioyce with ioye vnspeakable and glorious

¹⁷ But as touchynge the tre of knowledge of good and euell, thou shalt not eate of it. Els, in what daye soeuer thou eatest therof, thou shalt dye the death.

⁶ And so the woman (seyng that the same tre was good to eate, and lusty to the eyes, & that the same tre was pleasaunt to get wisdome) toke of the frute therof, and dyd eate: and gaue vnto her husband beynge with her, which dyd eate also.

¹⁹ In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eate bread, tyll thou be turned agayne into the grounde, for out of it was thou taken, in asmuch as thou art dust, & into dust shalt thou be turned agayne.

²² And the Lorde God sayde: Beholde, yonder man hath bene euen as one of vs, that he myght knowe good and euell. And nowe lest happly he put furth hys hande, and take also of the tree of lyfe, and eate, & lyue for euer. ²³ And the Lorde God sent them furth from the garden of Eden, to dresse the grounde that he was taken out of. ²⁴ And so he droue out man, & at the east syde of the garden of Eden, he set Cherubins, & the glysterynge flame of a shakynge swerde, to kepe the waye of the tre of lyfe.

⁵ Beholde, I was shapen in wyckednesse, & in synne hath my mother conceaued me.

⁴ Beholde all soules are myne. Lyke as the father is myne, so is the sonne myne also. The soule that synneth, shall dye.

¹⁴ neuerthelesse deeth raygned from Adam to Moses, euen ouer them also that had not synned wyth lyke transgression as dyd Adam: which beareth the similitude of him that was to come. ¹⁵ But the gyfte is not lyke as the synne. For yf thorow the synne of one, many be deed: moche more plenteous vpon many was the grace of God & gyfte by grace; whych was of one man Iesus Christ. ¹⁶ And the gyfte is not ouer one synne: as deeth cam thorow one synne of one that synned. For damnacyon came of one synne vnto condemnacyon: but the gyft came to iustify from many synnes. ¹⁷ For yf by the synne of one, deeth raygned by the meanes of one: moch more they (whych receaue aboundance of grace and of the gyfte of ryghtewesnes) shall raygne in lyfe by the meanes of one (that is to saye) Iesus Christ.

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

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

²¹ For by a man came deeth, and by a man came the resurreccyon of the deed. ²² For as by Adam all dye: euen so by Christ, shall all be made alyue,

¹⁵ Then, when lust hath conceaued, she bryngeth forth synne: & synne when it is finisshed, bryngeth forth deeth.

² for in many thinges we synne all. If a man synne not in worde, the same is a perfecte man, & able also to tame all the body.

⁸ If we saye that we haue no synne, we deceaue oure selues, and the trueth is not in vs: ⁹ If we knowledge oure synnes, he is faythfull & iust, to forgeue vs oure synnes, and to clense vs from all vnryghtewesnes. ¹⁰ If we saye we haue not synned, we make hym a lyar, and hys worde is not in vs.

¹⁴ And deeth and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the seconde deeth. ¹⁵ And whosoeuer was not founde wrytten in the boke of lyfe, was cast into the lake of fyre.

⁷ And yf thou dost not well, lyeth not thy synne in the dores? Unto the also pertayneth the lust therof, and thou shalt haue dominion ouer it. ⁸ And Cain spake vnto Habel hys brother. And it fortuned whan they were in the felde, Cain rose vp agaynst Habel hys brother, and slue him. ⁹ And the Lorde sayde vnto Cain: Where is Habel thy brother? Whych sayd: I wote not. Am I my brothers keper? ¹⁰ And he sayde: What hast thou done? The voyce of thy brothers bloude crieth vnto me out of the grounde. ¹¹ And nowe art thou curssed from of the erth, whych hath opened hyr mouth, to receaue thy brothers bloude from thy hande.

⁵ But God sawe that the malyce of man was greate in the erth, and all the ymaginacyon of the thoughtes of hys hert was onely euell euery daye. ⁶ And it repented the Lorde, that he had made man in the erth, & he was touched with sorow in his harte.

¹¹ The earth also was corrupte before God, & the same earthe was fylled wt crueltye.

²¹ And the Lorde smelled a swete (or quyete) sauoure. And the Lorde sayde in his herte: I wyll not proceade to curse the grounde any more for mannes sake, for the ymagynacyon of mans hert is euel euen from hys youth. Neyther wyl I adde to smite any more euery thynge liuynge, as I haue done,

¹³ But the men of Sodome were wicked, and exceadynge synners before the Lorde.

²⁰ And the Lorde sayde The crye of: Sodome and Gomorra is great, and theyr synne is excedynge greuous.

⁴ And before they went to rest, the men of the cytie (euen the men of Sodome) compassed the house rounde aboute both olde & yonge, all the people from all quarters.

³² Come, we will make oure father droncken with wyne, & lye with him, that we maye saue sede of oure father.

³⁶ Thus were both the daughters of Lot wt chylde by their father.

⁷ And Er Iudas eldest sonne was wycked in the syghte of the Lorde, & the Lorde slewe hym.

¹⁰ And the thynge whych he dyd, displeased the Lorde, wherfore he slewe him also.

¹⁵ Because the lawe causeth wrath. For where no lawe is, there is no transgressyon.

⁵⁶ The stynge of deeth is synne: and the strength of synne is the lawe.

⁴ Whosoeuer commytteth synne, committeth vnryghteousnes also, and synne is vnryghteousnes.

¹⁴ We knowe, that we are translated from deeth vnto lyfe, because we loue the brethren. He that loueth not hys brother, abydeth in deeth.

⁸ And Cain spake vnto Habel hys brother. And it fortuned whan they were in the felde, Cain rose vp agaynst Habel hys brother, and slue him.

⁵ And all the dayes that Adam lyued, were nyne hundreth and thyrtye yeares, and he dyed. ⁶ Seth lyued an hundred & fyue yeares, and begat Enos. ⁷ And Seth lyued (after he begat Enos) eyght hundreth yeares & seuen yeres, & begat sonnes & daughters. ⁸ And all the dayes of Seth were, nyne hundreth & twelue yeares. And he dyed. ⁹ Enos lyued nyntye yeares & begat kenan. ¹⁰ And Enos lyued (after he begat kenan) eight hundreth, and fyftene yeares, & begat sonnes & daughters. ¹¹ And all the dayes of Enos were nyne hundreth & fyue yeres. And he dyed. ¹² Kenan lyued seuentye yeres, & begat Mahelael. ¹³ And kenan lyued (after he begat Mahelael) eyght hundreth yeares and fortye yeres, and begat sonnes & daughters. ¹⁴ And all the dayes of kenan were nyne hundreth yeares and ten yeares, and he dyed. ¹⁵ Mahelael lyued syxtye yeares & fyue yeares, ¹⁶ & begat Iared. And agayne, Mahelael lyued (after he begat Iared) eyght hundreth & thirtye yeres, & begat sonnes & daughters. ¹⁷ And all the dayes of Mahelael were eyght hundreth nynetye & fyue yeares. And he dyed. ¹⁸ Iared lyued an hundred & syxtye and two yeares, & begat Henoch. ¹⁹ And Iared lyued (after he begat Henoch) eyght hundreth yeares, & begat sonnes and daughters. ²⁰ And all the dayes of Iared were nyne hundreth and syxtye and two yeares. And he dyed. ²¹ Henoch lyued syxtie & fyue yeares, & begat Methuselah. ²² And Henoch walked wyth God after he begat Methuselah, thre hundreth yeres, & begat sonnes & daughters. ²³ And all the dayes of Henoch were thre hundreth syxtie & fyue yeres. ²⁴ And Henoch walked with God, & he (was no more sene,) for God toke hym awaye. ²⁵ Methuselah also lyued an hundreth yeares, & eyghtye & seuen yeres, & begat Lamech. ²⁶ And agayne Methuselah lyued (after he begat Lamech,) seuen hundreth yeares, and eyghtye, & two yeres, and begat sonnes and daughters. ²⁷ And all the dayes of Methuselah were nyne hundreth yeares and syxtye & nyne yeares. And he dyed. ²⁸ Lamech lyued an hundreth yeres & eyghtye & two yeres, & begat a sonne, ²⁹ & called his name Noah, sayenge: This same shall comforte vs as concernynge oure worke & sorowe of oure handes, from of the erth, which God curssed. ³⁰ And Lamech lyued (after he begat Noah) fyue hundreth yeres & nynety & fyue yeares, & begat sonnes & daughters. ³¹ And all the dayes of Lamech were seuen hundreth yeares, and seuentye and seuen yeares, and he dyed.

²² What soeuer was (in whose nostrels the breth of lyfe dyd brethe, all these in the drye lande dyed.)

²⁵ & ouerthrewe those cyties & all the regyon, and all that dwelled in the cyties, and that that grewe vpon the erth.

⁶ And Ioseph dyed and all hys brethren and all that generacyon,

²² And Pharao charged all hys people, sayinge: All the menchyldren that are borne, cast into the ryuer, and saue the maydechyldren alyue.

²⁹ And at mydnight, the Lorde smote all the fyrst borne in the lande of Egipte, from the fyrst borne of Pharao that satte on hys seate, vnto the fyrst borne of the captyue that was in preson: and all the fyrste gendred of catell. ³⁰ And Pharao arose in the nyghte, he and all his seruauntes and all the Egipcians: and there was a greate cryinge in Egipt: for there was no house where there was not one deed.

⁷ But euen lyke as Adam dyd, so haue they broken my couenaunt, and set me at naught.

¹¹ And shulde not I then haue compassyon vpon Niniue that greate cytie, wherin there are aboue an .C. & .xx. thousand personnes, that knowe not theyr ryght hand from the lefte, besydes moch catell?

¹⁷ For yf by the synne of one, deeth raygned by the meanes of one: moch more they (whych receaue aboundance of grace and of the gyfte of ryghtewesnes) shall raygne in lyfe by the meanes of one (that is to saye) Iesus Christ.

²⁰ because the creature is subdued to vanyte, agaynst the wyll therof, but for his will which hath subdued the same in hope.

²² For we knowe, that euery creature groneth with vs also, and trauayleth in payne, euen vnto thys tyme.

⁴⁵ as it is also written: the fyrste man Adam was made a lyuinge soule, and the last Adam was made a quyckening sprete.

²⁷ And as it is apoynted vnto all men tkat they shall once dye, and then commeth the iudgement

¹¹ With trauayle & laboure of hys soule, shall he optayne frute, and he shall be satisfyed by the knowledge of hym whych is my ryghteous seruaunt he shall iustifye the multitude, for he shall beare awaye theyr synnes.

⁷ Let the vngodly man forsake his owne wayes, & the vnryghtuous hys owne ymagynacyons, and turne agayne vnto the Lorde: so shall he be mercyfull vnto hym: and to oure God, for he is very ready to forgeue. ⁸ For thus sayeth the Lorde: my thoughtes are not youre thoughtes, and youre wayes are not my wayes, ⁹ but as farre as the heauens are hyer then the earth, so farre do my wayes exceade yours, and my thoughtes yours.

² Many of them that slepe in the dust of the earth, shall awake: some to the euerlastynge lyfe, some to perpetuall shame & reprofe.

²⁸ euen as the sonne of man cam, not to be ministred vnto, but to minister, & to geue his lyfe a redempcion for many.

²⁸ For this is my bloud (which is of the new testament) that is shed for many, for the remissyon of synnes.

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

¹¹ But we beleue, that thorow the grace of the Lorde Iesu Christ, we shalbe saued, as they do.

¹² Wherfore, as by one man, synne entred into the worlde, and deeth by the meanes of synne.

¹⁶ And the gyfte is not ouer one synne: as deeth cam thorow one synne of one that synned. For damnacyon came of one synne vnto condemnacyon: but the gyft came to iustify from many synnes. ¹⁷ For yf by the synne of one, deeth raygned by the meanes of one: moch more they (whych receaue aboundance of grace and of the gyfte of ryghtewesnes) shall raygne in lyfe by the meanes of one (that is to saye) Iesus Christ. ¹⁸ Lyke wyse then as by the synne of one there sprang vp euell on all men to condemnacyon: euen so by the ryghteousnes of one, spryngeth good vpon all men to the ryghteousnes of lyfe. ¹⁹ For as by one mannes disobedience many became synners: so by the obedience of one, shall many be made ryghteous. ²⁰ But the lawe in the meane tyme entred in, the synne shulde encreace. Neuerthelater where aboundance of synne was, there was more plenteousnes of grace.

¹⁵ Thankes be vnto God, for hys vnspeakeable gyfte.

⁸ For by grace are ye made safe thorow fayth, and that not of youre selues. It is the gyfte of God, ⁹ Neuerthelesse, we se not yet all thynges subdued vnto him: but him that was made lesse then the angels, we se that it was Iesus, which is crowned with glory and honour for the sofferynge of death: that he by the grace of God, shulde tast of deeth for all men.

² & he it is that obtayneth grace for oure synnes, not for oure synnes onely: but also for the synnes of all the worlde.

¹¹ because he beleued not the recorde that God gaue of hys sonne. And this is that recorde, how that God hath geuen vnto vs eternall lyfe, & this lyfe is in hys sonne.

⁹ After this I behelde, & lo, a gret multitude (which noman coulde nombre) of all nacyons & people, & tonges, stode before the seate, & before the lambe, clothed with longe white garmentes, & palmes in their handes, ¹⁰ & cryed with a lowde voyce, sayinge: saluacyon be asscribed to him that sytteth vpon the seate of oure God, & vnto the lambe.

¹⁴ And I sayde vnto him: Lord thou wotest. And he sayde to me: these are they, whych came out of great tribulacyon, & made their garmentes large, & made them white by the bloude of the lambe: ¹⁵ therfore are they in the presence of the seate of God & serue hym daye & nyght in his temple, & he that sytteth in the seate wyll dwell amonge them. ¹⁶ They shall honger no more, nether thyrst, nether shall the sunne lyght on them, nether eny heate. ¹⁷ For the lambe whych is in the myddes of the seate, shall fede them, & shall leade them vnto fountaynes of lyuynge water, & God shall wype awaye all teares from their eyes.

⁶ And so the woman (seyng that the same tre was good to eate, and lusty to the eyes, & that the same tre was pleasaunt to get wisdome) toke of the frute therof, and dyd eate: and gaue vnto her husband beynge with her, which dyd eate also. ⁷ And the eyes of them both were opened: and they knewe that they were naked, & they sowed fygge leaues together, and made them selues aperns. ⁸ And they heard the voyce of the Lord God walkynge in the garden in the coole of the daye. And Adam & his wyfe hyd them selues from the presence of the Lorde God among the trees of the garden. ⁹ And the Lorde God called Adam, and sayd vnto hym: where art thou? ¹⁰ which sayde: I hearde thy voyce in the garden, & was afrayed, because I was naked, & hyd my selfe. ¹¹ And he sayde: Who tolde the, that thou wast naked? hast thou not eaten of the same tre, concernynge the which I commaunded the, that thou shuldest not eate of it? ¹² And Adam sayd: The woman, whom thou gauest to be wyth me, she gaue me of the tree, and I dyd eate. ¹³ And the Lorde God sayde vnto the woman: Why hast thou done this? And the woman sayde: yonder serpent begyled me, and I dyd eate. ¹⁴ And the Lorde God sayde vnto the serpent: because thou hast done this, thou art curssed aboue all catell, and aboue euery beast of the felde. Upon thy belly shalt thou go, & dust shalt thou eate all the dayes, of thy lyfe. ¹⁵ I will also put enemytie betwene the & the woman, betwene thy sede and hyr sede: The same shall treade downe thy head, and thou shalt treade vpon hys hele. 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. ¹⁷ Unto Adam he sayde: Because thou hast herkened vnto the voyce of thy wyfe, & hast eaten of the tree (concernynge the which I commaunded the, sayinge: Thou shalt not eate of it) cursed is the ground for thy sake. In sorowe shalt thou eate of it all the dayes of thy lyfe. ¹⁸ Thorne also & thystle shall it cause to growe vnto the, & thou shalt eate the herbe of the felde. ¹⁹ In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eate bread, tyll thou be turned agayne into the grounde, for out of it was thou taken, in asmuch as thou art dust, & into dust shalt thou be turned agayne.

¹⁸ Come I praye ye (sayeth the Lorde) let vs reason oure matter together. Though youre sinnes be as read as scarlet, thei shalbe as white as snowe. And though they were lyke purple, they shalbe as whit as wolle.

²⁵ Where as I yet, euen I am he onely, that for myne awne selfes sake do awaye thyne offences, and forget thy synnes: so that I will neuer thincke vpon them.

²² As for thyne offences, I haue dryuen them awaye lyke the cloudes, and thy synnes as the myst. Turne the agayne vnto me, for I haue redemed the.

⁴⁷ Wherfore, I saye vnto the: many synnes are forgeuen her, for she loued moch. To whom lesse is forgeuen, the same doeth lesse loue. ⁴⁸ And he sayde vnto her: thy synnes are forgeuen the. ⁴⁹ And they that sate at meat wt him, beganne to saye within them selues. Who is this which forgeueth synnes also? ⁵⁰ And he sayd to the woman: Thy faith hath saued the. Go in peace.

⁹ Do ye not knowe, how that the vnryghteous shall not inheret the kyngdome of God? Be not deceaued. For nether fornicatours, nether worshyppers of ymages, nether aduoutrers, nether weaklynges, nether abusers of them selues wyth mankynde, ¹⁰ nether theues, nether couetouse, nether dronkardes, nether cursed speakers, nether pyllers, shall inheret the kyngdome of God. ¹¹ And soch were some of you, but ye are wasshed: but ye are sanctifyed: but ye are iustifyed by the name of the Lorde Iesus, & by the sprete of oure God.

³² But when we are iudged of the Lorde, we are chastened, that we shulde not be damned with the worlde.

¹⁰ For as many as are of the dedes of the lawe, are subiecte to the curse. For it is written: cursed be euery one that contynueth not in all thinges which are written in the boke of the lawe to fulfyll them.

¹³ where as before I was a blasphemer, and a persecuter, & a Tyraunt. But yet I obtayned mercy, because I dyd it ignorauntly thorowe vnbelefe. ¹⁴ Neuerthelesse, the grace of oure Lorde was exceadynge aboundaunt with fayth and loue, whych is by Christ Iesu. ¹⁵ This is a true sayinge (and by all meanes worthy to be receaued of vs) that Chryst Iesus came into the worlde, to saue synners, of whom I am chefe. ¹⁶ Not wythstandynge for this cause optayned I mercy, that Iesus Christ shulde fyrst shewe on me all longe pacience, to declare an ensample vnto them which shulde beleue on him vnto eternall lyfe.

¹⁰ Whosoeuer shall kepe the whole lawe, & yet fayle in one poynt, he is gyltie of all.

³⁴ Then shall the Kynge saye to them that shalbe on hys ryghte hande: Come ye blessed of my father, inheret the kyngdome prepared for you from the begynninge of the worlde.

¹⁰ A thefe commeth not but for to steale, kyll, and to destroye. I am come, that they might haue life, and that they myght haue it more aboundantly.

³⁹ nether heygth, nether loweth, nether eny other creature shal be able to departe vs from the loue of God, which is in Christ Iesu oure Lorde.

⁸ Nowe ye are full: nowe ye are made ryche: ye raygne as kinges without vs: and I wolde to God ye dyd raygne, that we myght raygne with you.

⁴⁹ And as we haue borne the ymage of the erthy, so shall we beare the ymage of the heauenly.

¹⁴ Neuerthelesse, the grace of oure Lorde was exceadynge aboundaunt with fayth and loue, whych is by Christ Iesu.

¹² If we be pacient, we shall also raygne wyth hym. If we denye hym, he also shall denye vs.

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

⁹ But ye are a chosen generacion, a royall presthod, an holy nacyon, a people whych are wonne: that ye shuld shewe the vertues of hym, that called you out of darcknes into hys meruclous lyght,

⁶ & made vs kynges and Prestes vnto God his father, be glory and dominion for euermore. Amen.

⁹ & they songe a new songe, saying: thou art worthy to take the boke, & to open the seales therof: for thou wast kylled, & hast redemed vs by thy bloud out of all kynredes, & tonges, & people, & nacyons, ¹⁰ and hast made vs vnto oure God, kynges, and prestes, & we shall raygne on the erth.

⁴ And I sawe seates, and they sat vpon them, & iudgement was geuen vnto them: and I sawe the soules of them that were beheaded for the wytnes of Iesu, and for the worde of God: & which had not worshipped the beast, nether his ymage, nether had taken his marke vpon their forheades, or in their handes: and they lyued, and raygned with Christ a .M. yere:

⁶ Blessed and holy is he, that hath parte in the first resurreccion. For on such shall the seconde deeth haue no power, but they shalbe the Prestes of God & of Christ, and shall raygne wyth hym a thousande yere.

⁵ And there shall be no nyght there, & they nede no candle, nether light of the sunne: for the Lorde God geueth them lyght, and they shall raygne for euermore.

⁷ The same cam as a wytnes to beare wytnes of the lyght, that all men through hym myght beleue.

²⁶ And they came vnto Iohn, & sayde vnto him: Rabbi, he that was wyth the beyonde Iordan (to whom thou barest wytnes) beholde the same baptiseth & all men come to hym.

³² And I (yf I were lyft vp from the erth) will drawe all men vnto me.

³⁹ and that by hym, all that beleue, are iustyfyed from all thynges, from which ye coulde not be iustifyed by the lawe of Moses.

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, ²⁰ because that by the dedes of the lawe ther shall no flesshe be iustifyed in hys syght. For by the lawe commeth the knowledge of sinne. ²¹ But now is the ryghtewesnes of God declared wythout the lawe, for asmoch as it is alowed by the testimonye of the lawe and of the Prophetes. ²² The ryghtewesnes of God, commeth by the fayth of Iesus Christ, vnto all and vpon all them that beleue. Ther is no dyfference:

¹⁵ But the gyfte is not lyke as the synne. For yf thorow the synne of one, many be deed: moche more plenteous vpon many was the grace of God & gyfte by grace; whych was of one man Iesus Christ.

²² For as by Adam all dye: euen so by Christ, shall all be made alyue,

⁴ whych wyll haue all men to be saued, and to come vnto the knowledge of the trueth. ⁵ For ther is one God, and one mediator betwene God and man, euen the man Christ Iesus, ⁶ whych gaue him selfe a raunsome for all men, that it shulde be testifyed at hys tyme,

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

²⁰ Neuerthelesse, ye haue an oyntment of him that is holy, and ye knowe all thinges.

¹⁰ Yet hath it pleased the Lorde thus to bruste hym wyth plages, and to smyte hym wyth infyrmite, that when he had made his soule an offeryng for synne, he myght se longe lastynge sede. And thys deuyce of the Lorde shall prospere in hys hande. ¹¹ With trauayle & laboure of hys soule, shall he optayne frute, and he shall be satisfyed by the knowledge of hym whych is my ryghteous seruaunt he shall iustifye the multitude, for he shall beare awaye theyr synnes. ¹² Therfore wyll I geue hym the multitude for hys parte, and he shall deuyde the spoyle wyth the strongest because he geueth ouer hys soule to death, and is rekened amonge the transgressours, whych neuertheles hath taken awaye the synnes of the multitude, and made intercessyon for the mysdoers.

⁶ to the prayse of the glory of hys grace, wherwith he hath made vs accepted thorowe the beloued.

⁸ and was founde in his apparell as a man. He humbled him selfe, and became obedient vnto the deeth, euen the deeth of the crosse.

⁹ After this I behelde, & lo, a gret multitude (which noman coulde nombre) of all nacyons & people, & tonges, stode before the seate, & before the lambe, clothed with longe white garmentes, & palmes in their handes, ¹⁰ & cryed with a lowde voyce, sayinge: saluacyon be asscribed to him that sytteth vpon the seate of oure God, & vnto the lambe. ¹¹ And all the angels stode in the compase of the seate, & of the elders & of the foure bestes, & fell before the seat on their faces, and worshypped God, ¹² sayinge, Amen: Blessinge & glory & wysdome & thankes, and honour, & power, & myght, be vnto oure God for euermore. Amen. ¹³ And one of the elders answered, sayinge vnto me: what are these which are arayed in longe whyte garmentes, & whence came they?

⁹ And so Manasse made Iuda and the enhabiters of Ierusalem to erre, and to do worse then the heathen, whom the Lorde destroyed before the chyldren of Israell. ¹⁰ And the Lorde spake to Manasse & to hys people, but they wolde not regarde. ¹¹ Wherfore, the Lord brought vpon them the captaynes of the host of the kyng of the Assirians, whych toke Manasse in holde, and bounde hym with chaynes, and caryed hym to Babylon. ¹² And when he was in trybulacion, he besought the Lord hys God, & humbled hym selfe exceadyngly before the God of his fathers, ¹³ and made intercession to hym and God was entreated of hym, and hearde his prayer, and brought hym agayne to Ierusalem into his kyngdome. And then Manasse knewe, that the Lorde was God.

¹¹ For thy names sake, O Lord, be mercyfull vnto my synne, for it is great.

²⁴ But thou hast laden me with thy synnes, & weryed me with thyne vngodlynes. ²⁵ Where as I yet, euen I am he onely, that for myne awne selfes sake do awaye thyne offences, and forget thy synnes: so that I will neuer thincke vpon them.

⁸ Namely, that after I had well sene the aduoutrye of the shrynckyng harlot Israel, I put her awaye, and gaue her a byll of deuorcement. For all this, her vnfaythfull syster Iuda was not ashamed, but went backe & played the whore also: ⁹ Yee, and the noyse of her whordome hath defyled the whole lande. For she hath commytted fornycacyon wyth stones and stockes. ¹⁰ Neuerthelesse, her vnfaythfull syster Iuda is not turned vnto me agayne wyth her whole herte, but faynedly, sayeth the Lorde. ¹¹ And the Lorde sayde vnto me: The backslyder Israell is more ryghtuous, then the vnfaythfull Iuda: ¹² & therfore go preache these wordes towarde the north, and saye: Thou disobedient Israell, turne agayne (sayeth the Lorde) & I wyll not let my wrathe fall vpon you, for I am mercyfull (sayeth the Lorde) & I wyll not alwaye beare displeasure agaynst the: ¹³ but this I will, that thou knowe thy greate blasphemy: Namely, that thou hast vnfaythfully forsaken the Lorde thy God, & hast made thy selfe partake of straunge Goddes vnder all grene trees, but hast had no wyll to heare my voyce, sayeth the Lorde. ¹⁴ O ye disobedient chyldren, turne agayne sayeth the Lorde: & I wyll be maryed wyth you. For I wyll take one out of the cytie, & two out of one generacyon, from amonge you, and brynge you in to Syon:

⁵² Therfore thou (which dydest condempne thy syster) beare thyne awne shame, for thyne awne offences, that thou hast committed, more abhominable then they dyd, which in dead ar more ryghteous, then thou art, be thou (I seye) ashamed, and beare thy shamfull rebuke, seynge that thou hast proued thy systers in comparyson of the ryghtwyse.

⁶⁰ Neuerthelesse, I will remembre the couenaunt that I made with the in thy youth in so moch that it shalbe an euerlastinge couenaunt: ⁶¹ so that thou also remembre thy wayes, & be ashamed of them: then shalt thou receaue of me thy elder & yonger systers, whom I wyll make thy daughters, and that besyde thy couenaunt. ⁶² And so will I renue my couenaunt with the, that thou mayest knowe that I am the Lorde: ⁶³ that thou mayest thincke vpon it, be ashamed, and excuse thyne awne confusyon nomore: when I haue forgeuen the, all that thou hast done, sayeth the Lorde God.

²⁵ Then will I poure cleare water vpon you, and ye shalbe clene: yee, from all your vnclennesse and from all your Idols shall I clense you. ²⁶ A new herte also will I geue you, and a new sprete will I put into you. As for that stony herte, I will take it out of youre body, & geue you a fleshly herte. ²⁷ I will geue my sprete amonge you & cause you to walcke in my commaundementes to kepe my lawes, and to fulfill them. ²⁸ And so ye shall dwell in the land, that I gaue to your forefathers, and ye shalbe my people, and I wilbe your God. ²⁹ I will helpe you out of all your vnclennes. I will call for the corne, and will increase it, & let you haue no honger. ³⁰ I will multiplie the frutes of the trees and the increase of the felde for you, so that ye shall beare no more reprofe of honger, amonge the Heathen. ³¹ Then shal ye remembre your awne wicked wayes, & your ymaginacions, which were not good: so that ye shal thinke that ye were worthy to be destroyed: for your synnes and abhominacyons. ³² But I wyll not do thys for youre sakes (saieth the Lord God) be ye sure of it. Therfore, O ye house of Israell, be ashamed of your sinnes.

¹⁸ Where is there soch a God as thou? that pardonest wyckednes, and forgeuest the offences of the remnaunt of thyne herytage? He kepeth not his wrath for euer: and why? his delite is to haue compassion: ¹⁹ he shal turne agayne, and be mercyfull to vs: he shal put downe oure wyckednesses, and cast all oure synnes into the botome of the see.

¹³ Goo ye rather and learne what that meaneth. I will haue mercy, and not sacrifice. For I am not come to call the ryghtewes, but synners to repentaunce.

⁴⁷ Wherfore, I saye vnto the: many synnes are forgeuen her, for she loued moch. To whom lesse is forgeuen, the same doeth lesse loue.

³⁹ And one of the euyll doers whych were hanged, rayled on him, sayinge: If thou be Chryst, saue thy selfe and vs. ⁴⁰ But the other answered & rebuked him, sayinge: Fearest thou not God, seynge thou art in the same dampnacyon? ⁴¹ We are ryghteously punysshed, for we receaue accordynge to oure dedes: But thys man hath done nothynge amysse. ⁴² And he sayde vnto Iesus. Lorde, remember me, when thou commest into thy kyngdome. ⁴³ And Iesus sayde vnto hym: Uerely I saye vnto the: to daye shalt thou be wyth me in Paradyse.

²² If I had not come and spoken vnto them, they shuld haue had no synne: but now haue they nothyng to cloke their synne withall.

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, ²⁰ because that by the dedes of the lawe ther shall no flesshe be iustifyed in hys syght. For by the lawe commeth the knowledge of sinne.

¹ What shall we saye then? Shall we contynue in synne, that there maye be aboundance of grace?

¹⁴ For synne shall not haue power ouer you. Because ye are not vnder the lawe, but vnder grace.

⁵ For when we were in the flesshe, the lustes of synne whych were stered vp by the lawe, raygned in oure members, to brynge forth frute vnto deeth. ⁶ But now are we delyuered from the lawe, and deed vnto it wher vnto we were in bondage, that we shuld serue in a new conuersacyon of the sprete, and not in the olde conuersacyon of the letter. ⁷ What shall we saye then? is the lawe synne? God forbyd: neuertheles I knew not synne, but by the lawe. For I had not knowne what lust had meant, excepte the lawe had sayd, thou shalt not lust. ⁸ But synne toke an occasyon by the meanes of the commaundement and wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For verely without the lawe, synne was deed. ⁹ I once lyued wythout lawe. But when the commaundement came, synne reuiued, and I was deed. ¹⁰ And the very same commaundement, whych was ordeyned vnto lyfe, was founde to be vnto me an occasyon of deeth. ¹¹ For synne toke occasyon by the meanes of the commaundement, and so disceaued me, & by the same slewe me. ¹² Wherfore the lawe is holy, and the commaundement holy, and iust and good. ¹³ Was that then which was good, made deeth vnto me? God forbyd. Naye it was synne: that sinne might appeare (by it which was good) to worke deeth in me: that synne by the commaundement myght be out of measure synfull.

⁷ If the ministracyon of deeth thorow the letters fygured in stones, was glorious, so that the chyldren of Israel coulde not beholde the face of Moses, for the glory of his countenaunce (whych glory is done awaye) ⁸ why shall not the ministracyon of the sprete be moch more gloryous? ⁹ For yf the ministringe of condemnacyon be glorious: moch more doth the ministracyon of ryghtewesnes exceade in glory.

¹⁹ Wherfore then serueth the lawe? It was added because of transgression (tyll the seed came, to whom the promes was made) and it was ordeyned by angels in the hand of a mediator. ²⁰ A mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is one. ²¹ Is the lawe then agaynst the promes of God? God forbyd. For yf there had bene a lawe geuen which coulde haue geuen lyfe: then no doute ryghtewesnes shulde come by the lawe. ²² But the scripture concluded all thinges vnder synne, that the promes by the fayth of Iesus Christ shulde be geuen vnto them that beleue. ²³ But before that fayth came, we were kepte vnder the lawe, and were shut vp vnto the fayth which shulde afterwarde be declared. ²⁴ Wherfore, the lawe was oure scolemaster vnto Christ, that we shulde be iustifyed by fayth. ²⁵ But after that fayth is come, we are no lenger vnder the scolemaster.

³ For we oure selues also were somtyme foolyshe dysobedient, deceaued, seruynge diuerse lustes and volupteousnes, lyuynge in maliciousnes and enuye, full of hate, hatynge one another. ⁴ But after that the kyndnes and loue of oure saueoure God to man warde appeared, ⁵ not by the dedes of rightewesnes which we wrought, but accordynge to hys mercye he saued vs by the fountayne of the newe byrth, and renuynge of the holy goost, ⁶ which he shedd on vs abountdantly, thorowe Iesus Christ oure saueoure, ⁷ that we iustifyed by hys grace, shulde be made heyres accordinge to the hope of eternall lyfe,

¹⁶ And of hys fulnes haue all we receaued, euen grace for grace. ¹⁷ For the lawe was geuen by Moses, but grace & trueth came by Iesus Christ.

²⁸ and I geue vnto them eternall lyfe, and they shall neuer perissh, nether shall eny man plucke them oute of my hande.

¹³ For the promes (that he shuld be the heyre of the worlde) happened not to Abraham or to his seed thorow the lawe: but thorow the ryghtewesnes of fayth.

¹⁴ neuerthelesse deeth raygned from Adam to Moses, euen ouer them also that had not synned wyth lyke transgression as dyd Adam: which beareth the similitude of him that was to come.

¹² Let not synne raygne therfore in youre mortall bodye, that ye shulde ther vnto obey by the lustes of it.

¹⁶ Knowe ye not, how that to whom soeuer ye commit youre selues as seruauntes to obey, hys seruauntes ye are to whom ye obey: whether it be of synne vnto deeth, or of obedience vnto ryghtewesnes?

¹⁰ If Chryst be in you, the body is deed because of synne: but the spryte is lyfe for ryghtewesnes sake.

¹¹ For the grace of God, that bryngeth saluacyon vnto all men, hath appeared

¹⁶ Let vs therfore go boldely vnto the seate of grace, that we maye obtayne mercy, and fynde grace to helpe in tyme of nede.

²⁵ And thys is the promes that he hath promysed vs, euen eternall lyfe.

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