¹¹ I had rather be a dore keper in the house of my God, then to dwell in the tentes of vngodlynesse.

¹ O synge vnto the Lorde a new songe, synge vnto the Lorde all the whole earth. ² Synge vnto the Lorde, and prayse his name, be tellynge of his saluacion from daye to daye. ³ Declare hys honoure vnto the Heathen, and his wonders vnto all people.

¹⁰ Tell it out amonge the Heathen, that the Lorde is kynge: and that it is he which hath made the rounde worlde so fast, that it can not be moued, and how that he shall iudge the people ryghteously.

¹ A Psalme. O synge vnto the Lord a new songe, for he hath done maruelous thynges. ² With hys awne ryght hande and wyth his holy arme hath he gotten hym selfe the victory. ³ The Lord declared hys saluacyon, his ryghteousnes hath he openly shewed in the syght of the Heathen.

¹ O prayse the Lord all ye Heithen, prayse him all ye nacions. ² For his mercyfull kyndnes is euermore and more toward vs, and the truth of the Lord endureth for euer. Prayse the Lorde.

² It wilbe also in the last dayes that the hyll where the house of the Lorde is builded, shall be the chefe amonge hylles, and exalted aboue all lytle hylles. And all nacyons shall preace vnto hym, and the multytude of people shal go ³ speaking thus one to another: vp, let vs go to the hyll of the Lord, & to the house of the God of Iacob: that he maye shewe vs his waye, and that we maye walcke in his pathes. For the lawe shall come out of Sion, and the word of the Lorde from Ierusalem,

²² And therfore turne you vnto me (all ye endes of the earth) that ye maye be saued: for I am God, & there is els none.

⁶ And he sayde: It is but a small thinge that thou art my seruaunt, to sett vp the kynreddes of Iacob, and to restore the destruccyon of Israel. For I haue made the the light of the Gentyls, that thou mayst be my health vnto the ende of the worlde.

¹⁰ The Lorde hath made bare hys holy arme, and shewed it forth in the syght of all the Gentiles, & all the endes of the earth hath sene the sauinge health of our God.

¹ Get the vp by tymes, & be bryght, for thy lyght commeth, & the glory of the Lorde is rysen vp vpon the. ² For lo, whyle the darcknesse & cloude couereth the earth and the people, the Lorde shall shewe the lyght, & his glory shall be sene in the. ³ The Gentiles shall come to thy lyght, and kynges to the bryghtnes that spryngeth forth vpon the.

⁷ What art thou thou great mountayne, before Zorobabel? thou must be made euen. And he shal brynge vp the fyrste stone, so that men shal crye vnto him good lucke good lucke.

¹⁰ Moreouer, vpon the house of Dauid and vpon the cytesyns of Ierusalem will I poure out the sprete of grace & compassion, so that they shall loke vpon me, whom they haue pearsed: & they shal bewepe him as men mourne for their only begotten sonne: yee, & be sory for him, as men are sory for their first chyld.

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

¹⁵ And he sayde vnto them: Goo ye into al the worlde, and preache the gospell to all creatures,

⁶ & all flesshe shall se the Saluacion of God.

⁴⁷ & that repentaunce and remyssyon of synnes shulde be preached in hys name amonge all nacyons, and must begynne at Ierusalem.

⁹ That lyght was the true lyght, whych lyghteth euery man that cometh into the worlde.

¹⁴ And the same worde became flesshe, and dwelt amonge vs: and we sawe the glory of it, as the glory of the onely begotten sonne of the father, full of grace and trueth.

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.

²³ Which when he came, & had sene the grace of God, was glad, & exhorted them all, that with purpose of hert, they wold contynually cleaue vnto the Lord.

⁴³ When the congregacyon was broken vp, many of the Iewes and verteous proselytes folowed Paul and Barnabas, which spake to them: & exhorted them to continue in the grace of God.

⁴⁷ For so hath the Lorde commaunded vs. I haue made the a lyght of the Gentyls, that thou be the saluacyon vnto the ende of the worlde.

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

⁴ To hym that worketh, is the rewarde not reckned of fauoure, but of dutye. ⁵ To hym that worketh not, but beleueth on him that iustifyeth the vngodly, is his fayth counted for ryghtewesnes.

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.

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.

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.

¹⁸ But I aske: haue they not herde? No dout, their sounde went out into all landes: and their wordes into the endes of the worlde.

⁵ Euen so also at thys tyme is ther a remanaunt lefte accordynge to the eleccyon of grace. ⁶ If it be of grace, then is it not now of workes. For then grace is nomore grace. But If it be of workes, then is it now no grace. For then were deseruynge nomore deseruynge.

⁹ that the gentyls myght prayse God for hys mercy, as it is wrytten. For this cause I will prayse the amonge the gentyls, and synge vnto thy name. ¹⁰ And agayne he sayth: reioyse ye gentyles wyth hys people. ¹¹ And agayne, prayse the Lorde all ye gentyls, and laude hym all ye nacyons together. ¹² And agayne Esay sayth: ther shalbe the rote of Iesie, and he that shall ryse to raygne ouer the gentyls: in hym shall the gentyls trust. ¹³ The God of hope fyll you wyth all ioye and peace in beleuyng: that ye maye be ryche in hope, thorow the power of the holy ghost. ¹⁴ I my selfe am full certifyed of you (my brethren) that ye also are full of goodnes, & fylled with all knowledge, willinge to exhorte one another. ¹⁵ Neuerthelesse (brethren) I haue some what more boldly wrytten vnto you, partely to put you in remembraunce, thorow the grace that is geuen me of God, ¹⁶ that I shuld be the minister of Iesu Christ amonge the Gentyls, & shuld minyster the Gospell of God, that the offeryng of the gentyls myght be acceptable, & sanctified by the holy ghost. ¹⁷ I haue therfore wherof I maye reioyse thorow Chryst Iesu, in those thinges which pertayne to God. ¹⁸ For I dare not speake of eny of those thynges, whych Chryst hath not wrought by me, to make the Gentyls obedient, with worde and dede, ¹⁹ in myghty sygnes & wonders, by the power of the sprete of God: so that from Ierusalem & the coastes rounde aboute vnto Illyrycum, I haue fylled all countres with the Gospell of Christ.

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

²¹ I despyse not the grace of God. For yf ryghtewesnes come of the lawe, then Christ is deed in vayne.

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:

⁵ euen when we were deed by synnes) quyckened vs together in Christ (by grace are ye saued)

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

⁶ that the Gentyls shulde be inheritours also, and of the same body, and partetakers of hys promes in Christ, by the meanes of the Gospell, ⁷ wherof I am made a mynyster, accordinge to the gyfte of the grace of God which is geuen vnto me after the workynge of hys power. ⁸ Unto me the least of all saynctes is this grace geuen, that I shulde preache amonge the Gentyls the vnsearcheable riches of Christ

⁶ which is come vnto you: euen as it, is frutefull as it is also amonge you, from the daye in the which ye hearde of it, and had experience in the grace of God thorowe the trueth,

²³ yf ye contynue grounded and stablysshed in the fayth, and be not moued awaye from the hope of the Gospell, wherof ye haue herde, howe that it is preached amonge all creatures which are vnder heauen, wherof I Paul am made a mynyster.

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)

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

⁴ whych wyll haue all men to be saued, and to come vnto the knowledge of the trueth.

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.

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,

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.

¹⁵ And loke, that no man be destitute of the grace of god, lest anye roote of bytternes spryng vp and trouble, & therby many be defyled:

¹⁰ Of whych saluacyon haue the Prophetes enquyred and searched, whych prophesyed of the grace that shuld come vnto you, ¹¹ searchyng when or at what tyme the sprete of Chryst (whych was in them) shuld sygnifye, whych sprete testifyed before, the passyons that shuld happen vnto Chryst, & the glory that shulde folowe after, ¹² vnto whych Prophetes it was also declared, that not vnto them selues, but vnto vs, they shulde minyster the thynges whych are now shewed vnto you of them, whych (by the holy goost sent downe from heauen) haue in the Gospell preached vnto you the thynges, whych the angels desyre to beholde.

⁵ Lykewyse ye yonger, submyt your selues vnto the elder: Submit youre selues euery man, one to another, knyt youre selues together in lowlynes of mynde. For God resisteth the proude, and geueth grace to the humbl ⁶ Submyt youre selues therfore vnder the myghty hande of God, that he maye exalte you, when the tyme is come. ⁷ Cast all your care vpon him: for he careth for you. ⁸ Be sober and watch, for youre aduersary the deuyll as a roaring lyon walketh about, sekyng whom he maye deuoure: ⁹ whom resyst stedfast in the fayth, knowing, that the same affliccyons are apoynted vnto your brethren, that are in the worlde. 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. ¹¹ To him be glory and dominyon for euer, and euer. Amen. ¹² By Syluanus a faythfull brother vnto you (as I suppose) haue I wrytten brefly, exhortynge and testifyinge, how that thys is the true grace of God, wherin ye stande.

³ Knowe thys also, that the Lorde hathe chosen to hym selfe the man that is godlye: when I call vpon the Lorde, he wyll heare me.

⁴⁵ That they myght kepe hys statutes, and obserue hys lawes. Prayse the Lorde.

⁶ Seke the Lorde, whyle he may be founde, and call vpon hym whyle he is nye. 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.

³⁰ As for me, I wyll iudge euery man, accordynge to his wayes, O ye house of Israel, sayeth the Lorde God. Wherfore, be conuerted, and turne you cleane from all your wyckednesse, so shall there no synne do you harme. ³¹ Cast awaye from you all youre vngodlynesse, that ye haue done: make you newe hertes and a newe sprete. Wherfore wyll ye dye, O ye house of Israell?

¹⁴ Agayne, yf I saye vnto the wycked: thou shalt surely dye: and so he turne from his synnes, and do the thinge that is lawfull and right: ¹⁵ In so moch that the same wicked man geueth the pledge agayne, restoreth that he had taken awaye by robbyry, walcketh in the commaundementes of lyfe, and doth no wronge. Then shall he surely lyue, and not dye.

²⁷ I will geue my sprete amonge you & cause you to walcke in my commaundementes to kepe my lawes, and to fulfill them.

⁸ Bring forth therfore the frutes that belong to repentaunce. ⁹ And be not of soch mynde that ye wolde saye wtin your selues: we haue Abraham to oure father. For I saye vnto you: that God is able to bryng to passe, that of these stones ther shall ryse vp children vnto Abraham. ¹⁰ Euen now is the axe also put vnto the rote of the trees: so that euery tree which bringeth not forth good frute, is hewen downe, and cast into the fyre.

¹⁹ Whosoeuer therfore breaketh one of these leest commaundementes, and teacheth men so, he shalbe called the leest in the kyngdome of heauen. But whosoeuer doeth and teacheth, the same shalbe called greate in the kyngdome of heauen. ²⁰ For I saye vnto you: except your righteousnesse exceade the ryghteousnesse of the Scribes and Pharises, ye cannot entre into the kyngdome of heauen.

²⁴ Then sayde Iesus vnto his disciples: If eny man wil folowe me, let him forsake him selfe & take vp his crosse, & folowe me

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

⁶ they were, both ryghteous before God, and walked in all the lawes and ordynaunces of the Lorde, that no man coulde fynde fawte with them.

⁷⁵ all the dayes of oure lyfe, in such holynes and rightewesnes as are accept before him

⁹ Now also is the axe leyde vnto the rote of the trees: euery tree therfore which bryngeth not forth good frute, is hewen doune, & cast into the fyre. ¹⁰ And the people asked him, sayinge: what shall we do then? ¹¹ He answereth and sayeth, vnto them: He that hath two coates? lett him parte wyth hym that hath none, & he that hath meate, let him do lyke wyse. ¹² Then cam the publicans also to be baptised, & sayde vnto him: Master, what shal we do? ¹³ And he sayde vnto them: requyre no more, then that which is appoynted vnto you.

²⁵ And when they had founde hym on the other syde of the see, they sayde vnto hym: Rabbi, when camest thou hyther?

³⁰ Here after wyll I not talke many wordes vnto you. For the prince of this worlde commeth, and hath naught in me.

¹⁴ I haue geuen them thy worde, and the worlde hath hated them, because they are not of the world, euen as I also am not of the world. ¹⁵ I desyre not that thou shuldest take them out of the worlde: but that thou kepe them from euyll.

¹⁶ And therfore study I to haue allwaye a cleare conscience toward God, and towarde men.

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

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

¹⁹ I speake grosly, because of the infirmytie of youre fleshe. As ye haue geuen youre members seruauntes to vnclennes and to iniquitye, (from one iniquitye to another) euen so now geue ouer youre members seruauntes vnto ryghtewesnes, that ye maye be sanctifyed.

¹³ to lyue after the fleshe. For yf ye lyue after the fleshe, ye shal dye. But yf ye (thorowe the sprete) do mortyfye the dedes of the body, ye shall lyue.

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

¹² The nyght is passed, the daye is come nye. Let vs therfore cast awaye the dedes of darcknes, and let vs put on the Armoure of lyght. ¹³ Let vs walke honestly as it were in the daye lyght: not in eatynge & drynckynge, nether in chamburyng and wantannes, nether in stryfe & enuyinge:

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.

¹ Seynge that we haue soche promyses (dearely beloued) lett vs clense oure selues from all filthynes of the flesshe and sprete, and growe vp to full holynes wyth the feare of God.

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

²⁴ They trulye that are Christes, haue crucifyed the flesshe with the affeccions and lustes.

⁴ accordinge as he had chosen vs in hym, before the foundacions of the worlde were layde, that we shulde be holy, and without blame before hym, thorowe loue.

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

²² (as concernynge the conuersacyon in tyme past) to laye from you that olde man, which is corrupte, accordynge to the deceauable lustes. ²³ To be renued also in the sprete of youre mynde, ²⁴ and to put on that newe man, which after God is shapen in ryghte wesnes and true holynes. ²⁵ Wherfore, put awaye lyinge, & speake euery man truth vnto his neyghboure, for as moche as we are members one of another.

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

⁵ Mortifye therfore youre erthy membres: fornicacyon, vnclennes, vnnaturall lust, euyll concupiscence, and coueteousnes, which is worshyppynge of ydoles: ⁶ for which thynges sake the wrath of God vseth to come on the disobedyent chyldren ⁷ amonge whom ye walked somtyme, when ye lyued in them. ⁸ But nowe put ye also awaye from you all soch thinges: wrath, fearnes, maliciousnes, cursed speakynge, fylthy communicacyon out of your mouth. ⁹ Lye not one to another, seing that ye haue put of the olde man with hys workes,

⁷ For God hath not called vs vnto vnclennes but vnto holynes.

⁹ But as touchynge brotherly loue, ye nede not, that I wryte vnto you. For ye are taught of God, to loue one another.

¹⁷ Charge them which are ryche in this world, that they be not hye mynded, ner trust in vncertayne ryches, but in the lyuinge God (which geueth vs aboundauntly all thynges to enioye them)

¹² Yee, and all they that wyll lyue godly in Christ Iesu shall suffre persecutyon.

¹⁰ For Demas hath forsaken me, and loueth thys present worlde, and is departed vnto Thessalonica. Crescens is gone to Galacia, Tytus vnto Dalmacia.

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.

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:

⁸ Drawe nye to God, and he will drawe nye to you. Clense your handes ye siners, & pourge your hertes ye waueryng mynded. ⁹ Suffre afflictions & mourne, & wepe. Let your laughter be turned to mournyng, & youre ioye to heuynes. ¹⁰ Humble youre selues in the sight of the lord, & he shal lyft you vp.

¹⁴ as obedient chyldren, that ye geue not youre selues ouer vnto youre olde lustes, ¹⁵ by whych ye were led, whan as yet ye were ignoraunt of Christ: but as he which called you, is holy, euen so be ye holy also in all maner of conuersacyon, ¹⁶ because it is written. Be holy, for I am holy. ¹⁷ And yf so be that ye call on the father, which wythout respect of person iudgeth according to euery mannes worke, se that ye passe the tyme of youre pilgremage in feare. ¹⁸ For as moch as ye knowe, how that ye were not redemed wyth corruptible thynges (as syluer & golde) from youre vayne conuersacion, whych ye receaued by the tradicion of the fathers:

¹¹ Dearly beloued, I beseche you as straungers and pylgrems, abstayne from fleshly lustes, which fyght against the soule, ¹² & se that ye haue honest conuersacion amonge the Gentyles, that where as they backbyte you as euyll doars they maye se your good workes, and prayse God in the daye of vysytacion.

² that he hence forwarde shulde lyue (as moch tyme as remayneth in the flesshe) not after the lustes of men, but after the wyll of God. ³ For it is sufficyent for vs, that we haue spent the tyme that is past of the lyfe, after the wyll of the Gentyls, walkynge in wantannes, lustes, in excesse of wynes, in excesse of eatynge, in excesse of drinkynge and in abomynable ydolatrie. ⁴ And it semeth to them an inconuenient thynge, that ye runne not also with them vnto the same excesse of ryote, & therfore speake they euyll of you, ⁵ whych shall geue acomptes to him, that is ready to iudge quicke and deed.

⁴ by the whych are geuen vnto vs excellent and moste greate promyses, that by the meanes therof ye myght be partakers of the godly nature, yf ye flye the corrupcyon of worldly lust. ⁵ And herunto geue all diligence: in youre fayth mynyster vertue: in vertue knowledge: ⁶ in knowledge temperaunce, in temperaunce pacience: in pacience godlynes, ⁷ in godlynes brotherly kyndnes, in brotherly kyndnes loue. ⁸ For yf these thynges be amonge you, and be plenteous, thy wyll make you that ye nether shalbe ydle nor vnfrutefull in the knowledge of oure Lorde Iesus Christ.

⁹ The Lorde knoweth how to delyuer the godly out of temptacyon, and to reserue the vniuste vnto the daye of iudgement for to be punysshed:

²⁰ For yf they (after they haue escaped from the fylthynes of the worlde thorow the knowledge of the Lord and the sauyour Iesu Christ) are yet tangled againe therin, and ouercome then is the latter ende worse wyth them then the begynninge. ²¹ For it had bene better for them, not to haue knowne the waye of ryghteousnes, then after they haue knowen it, to turne from the holy commaundement that was geuen vnto them: ²² But the same is happened vnto them that is vsed to be spoken by the true prouerbe. The dogge is turned to his awne vomet agayne and the sow that was wasshed is turned agayne to her walowynge in the myer.

¹¹ Seyng then that all these thinges shal perishe, what maner persons ought ye to be in holy conuersacyon, and godlynes:

⁶ He that sayth he bydeth in hym, ought to walke euen as he walked.

¹⁵ Se that ye loue not the worlde, nether the thynges that are in the worlde. If eny man loue the worlde, the loue of the father is not in hym. ¹⁶ For all that is in the worlde (as the lust of the flesshe, and the lust of the eyes, & the pryde of life) is not of the father, but of the worlde. ¹⁷ And the worlde passeth awaye and the lust therof: but he that fulfylleth the will of God, abydeth for euer.

²⁷ And the anoyntinge which ye haue receaued of him dwelleth in you. And ye nede not, that eny man teach you: but as the anoyntinge teacheth you of all thinges, and is true, and no lye, and as it hath taught you, euen so byde therin.

¹⁹ We knowe, that we are of God, and the worlde is all together set on wyckednes.

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

¹² Here is the pacyence of saynctes Heare are they that kepe the commaundementes and the fayth of Iesu.

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 And in that daye it shalbe sayde: Lo, this is our God, we haue wayted for hym, & he shall saue vs. Thys is the Lord, in whom we haue hoped, we wylbe mery & reioyce in the saluation that commeth of hym.

²⁷ For the sonne of man shall come in the glory of his father, wt his angels: & then shall he rewarde euery man accordinge to his dedes.

³¹ When the sonne of man commeth in his glorye, & all the holy angels wyth him, then shall he syt vpon the seate of hys glorie,

⁶⁴ Iesus sayeth vnto hym, thou hast sayd. Neuerthelesse I saye vnto you here after shall ye se the sonne of man syttinge on the right hande of power, and commyng in the cloudes of the skye.

³⁸ Whosoeuer therfore shalbe asshamed of me and of my wordes, in thys aduoutrous and synfull generacion: of hym also shall the sonne of man be asshamed, when he commeth in the glorye of hys father with the holy angels.

⁶² And Iesus sayd: I am. And ye shall se the sonne of man sytting on the ryght hand of power, & commyng in the cloudes of heauen.

¹⁵ and haue hope towardes God, that the same resurreccion of the deed (which they them selues loke for also) shalbe, both of iust and vniust.

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.

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? ²⁵ But and yf we hope for that we se not, then do we wt pacience abyde for it.

¹³ The God of hope fyll you wyth all ioye and peace in beleuyng: that ye maye be ryche in hope, thorow the power of the holy ghost.

⁷ so that ye are behynde in no gyfte, waytinge for the appearyng of oure Lord Iesus Christ,

⁴ in whom the God of this world hath blynded the myndes of them which beleue not, lest the lyght of the gospell of the glory of Christ (whych is the ymage of God) shulde shyne vnto them.

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.

²⁰ But oure conuersacyon is in heauen, from whence we loke for the saueoure, euen the Lorde Iesus Chryst, ²¹ which shall chaunge oure vyle bodie, that he maye make it lyke vnto hys glorious body, accordynge to the workynge, wherby he is able also to subdue all thynges vnto him selfe.

⁵ for the hopes sake which is layd vp in store for you in heauen, of which hope, ye herde before by the true worde of the Gospell,

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

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

⁸ And then shall that wycked be vttered, whom the Lorde shall consume with the sprete of his mouth, and shall destroye wyth the appearaunce of hys commynge

¹³ I geue the charge in the syght of God, which quickneth all thynges, & before Iesu Chryst (which vnder Poncius Pylate wytnessed a good witnessyng) ¹⁴ that thou kepe the commaundement, & be without spotte and vnrebukeable, vntyll the appearynge of oure Lorde Iesus Christ,

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

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

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

⁴ But after that the kyndnes and loue of oure saueoure God to man warde appeared,

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,

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,

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

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)

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,

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.

¹² lokyng for, and hastinge vnto the commynge of the daye of God, by whom the heauens shall perisshe with fyre, & the elementes shall melt with heate? ¹³ Neuerthelesse, we (according to his promes) loke for a new heauen and a new earth, wherin dwelleth ryghtewesnes. ¹⁴ Wherfore dearly beloued, seynge that ye loke for such thinges, be diligent that ye maye be founde of hym in peace, wythout spotte and vndefyled.

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

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.

¹⁴ And we haue sene, & do testifye, that the father sent the sonne to be the sauyour of the worlde.

⁷ Beholde, he cometh with cloudes, & all eyes shall se him, & they also which pearsed him. And all kynredes of the erth shall wayle. Euen so: Amen.

¹⁶ And the angell whych hath delyuered me from all euyll, blesse these laddes: & let my name be named in them, & the name of my fathers Abraham & Isahac, & that they maye growe into a multitude in the myddes of the erth.

¹⁶ Lett feare and dreade fall vpon them in the greatnes of thyne arme, let them be as styll as a stone, tyll thy people passe thorowe, O Lorde, whyle thys people passe thorowe, which thou hast goten.

⁵ Nowe therfore yf ye wyll heare my voyce in dede, and kepe myne appoyntement: ye shall be myne awne, aboue all nacyons, for all the erth is myne. ⁶ Ye shall be vnto me also a kyngdome of preastes and an holy people: and these are the wordes which thou shalt saye vnto the chyldren of Israel.

¹³ and he shall haue it, & his seed after him, euen the couenaunte of the preastes offyce for euer because he was gelous for his Goddes sake, and made an attonement for the chyldren of Israel.

⁶ For thou art an holy nacyon vnto the Lorde thy God the Lorde thy God hath chosen the, to be a seuerall people vnto hym selfe, aboue all nacyons that are vpon the erth.

² For thou art an holy people vnto the Lorde thy God, and the Lorde hath chosen the, to be a seuerall people vnto hym selfe, aboue all the nacyons that are vpon the erth.

¹⁸ And the Lorde hath sett the vp thys daye, to be a seuerall people vnto hym (as he hath promysed the) and that thou kepe hys commaundementes,

⁸ And he shall redeme Israel, from all hys synnes.

⁴ For why? the Lorde hath chosen Iacob vnto hym selfe, & Israel for hys awne possessyon.

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.

²³ they shal also defile them selues nomore with their abhominacions, Idoles, & all their wycked doinges. I will helpe them out of all their dwellinge places, wherin they haue synned: and wil so clense them, that they shalbe my people, and I their God.

³ He shal syt him downe to trye and to clense the syluer, he shall pourge the chyldren of Leui, and purifye them lyke as golde and syluer: that they maye bringe meatofferinges vnto the Lorde in righteousnes.

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

¹² whose fan is in hys hand, & he wyll purge hys floore, & gather his wheat into the barne, but wyll burne the chaffe wt vnquencheable fyre.

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

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.

¹⁵ As my father knoweth me, euen so knowe I also my father. And I geue my lyfe for the shepe:

⁹ and put no difference betwene vs and them seynge that with fayth he purified theyr hertes.

¹⁴ Simeon tolde, how God at the beginning dyd visit the gentyls, to receaue of them a people in his name.

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. ²⁷ And thys is my couenaunt vnto them, when I shall take awaye their synnes.

⁷ And he that eateth not, eateth not, to please the Lorde withall, and geueth God thankes. ⁸ For none of vs lyueth for hym selfe, and no man dyeth for hym selfe. For yf we lyue, we lyue vnto the Lorde. And yf we dye, we dye vnto the Lord. Whether we lyue therfore, or dye, we are the Lordes.

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

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

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,

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

² and walke ye in loue euen as Christ loued vs, and gaue him selfe for vs an offerynge and a sacrifyce of a swete sauer to God

²³ For the husbande is the wyues heed, euen as Chryst is the heed of the congregacyon, and the same is he that ministreth saluacion vnto the body. ²⁴ Therfore, as the congregacyon is in subieccyon to Chryst, lykewyse let the wyues also be in subieccyon to theyr husbandes in all thinges. ²⁵ Ye husbandes, loue youre wyues, euen as Chryst also loued the congregacyon, and gaue hym selfe for it, ²⁶ to sanctifye it, and clensed it in the fountayne of water thorow the worde, ²⁷ to make it vnto him selfe a gloryous congregacyon, without spot or wrynckle, or eny soche thynge: but that it shulde be holy, and without blame.

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.

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

¹⁰ but as becommeth wemen, that professe godlynesse thorowe good worckes.

¹⁸ that they do good: that they be riche in good workes: that they be redy to geue & gladly to distribute,

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?

²⁴ & let vs consider one another, to the intent that we maye prouoke vnto loue, & to good workes,

⁸ Drawe nye to God, and he will drawe nye to you. Clense your handes ye siners, & pourge your hertes ye waueryng mynded.

¹⁸ For as moch as ye knowe, how that ye were not redemed wyth corruptible thynges (as syluer & golde) from youre vayne conuersacion, whych ye receaued by the tradicion of the fathers:

²² euen ye whych haue purifyed youre soules thorow the sprete, in obeynge the trueth wyth brotherly loue vnfayned, se that ye loue one another wyth a pure hert feruently:

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,

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.

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.

⁵ & from Iesus Christ, which is a faythfull wytnes, & fyrst begotten of the deed: & Lorde ouer the kynges of the erth. Unto him that loued vs, and wesshed vs from oure synnes in hys awne bloude,

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,

²⁹ For he taught them as one hauinge power, and not as the scribes.

²² And they were astonnyed at hys learnynge. For he taught them as one that had auctorite, & not as the Scribes.

²⁷ And they were all amased, in so moch that they demaunded one of another amonge them selues sayinge: what thyng is this? What newe doctrine is thys? For with auctorite commaunded he the foule spirites, and they obeyed hym.

³⁶ And feare cam on them all, and they spake among them selues, sayinge: what maner a thing is thys? For with auctorite & power he commaundeth the foules spretes, and they come oute?

¹² Let no man despyse thy youth but be vnto them that beleue, an ensample, in worde, in conuersacyon, in loue, in sprete, in fayth, in purenes. ¹³ Tyll I come, geue attendaunce to readynge, to exhortacyon, to doctrine.

²⁰ Then that synne, rebuke openly, that other also maye feare.

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