²⁸ And we witen, that to men `that louen God, alle thingis worchen togidere in to good, to hem that aftir purpos ben clepid seyntis. ²⁹ For thilke that he knewe bifor, he bifor ordenede bi grace to be maad lijk to the ymage of his sone, that he be the first bigetun among many britheren.

² God hath not put awei his puple, which he bifor knew. Whether ye witen not, what the scripture seith in Elie? Hou he preieth God ayens Israel,

¹ But take ye a sijk man in bileue, not in demyngis of thouytis. ² For another man leueth, that he mai ete alle thingis; but he that is sijk, ete wortis. ³ He that etith, dispise not hym that etith not; and he that etith not, deme not hym that etith. For God hath take him to hym.

¹⁰ But what demest thou thi brothir? or whi dispisist thou thi brothir? for alle we schulen stonde bifore the trone of Crist.

¹³ Therfor `no more deme we ech other; but more deme ye this thing, that ye putte not hirtyng, or sclaundre, to a brothir. ¹⁴ I woot and triste in the Lord Jhesu, that no thing is vnclene bi hym, no but to him that demeth ony thing to be vnclene, to him it is vnclene.

¹⁴ I woot and triste in the Lord Jhesu, that no thing is vnclene bi hym, no but to him that demeth ony thing to be vnclene, to him it is vnclene. ¹⁵ And if thi brother be maad sori in conscience for mete, now thou walkist not aftir charite. Nyle thou thorouy thi mete lese hym, for whom Crist diede.

¹⁵ And if thi brother be maad sori in conscience for mete, now thou walkist not aftir charite. Nyle thou thorouy thi mete lese hym, for whom Crist diede.

¹⁷ For whi the rewme of God is not mete and drynk, but riytwisnesse and pees and ioye in the Hooli Goost.

²⁰ Nyle thou for mete distrie the werk of God. For alle thingis ben clene, but it is yuel to the man that etith bi offendyng. ²¹ It is good to not ete fleisch, and to not drynke wyn, nethir in what thing thi brother offendith, or is sclaundrid, or is maad sijk.

²¹ It is good to not ete fleisch, and to not drynke wyn, nethir in what thing thi brother offendith, or is sclaundrid, or is maad sijk. ²² Thou hast feith anentis thi silf, haue thou bifore God. Blessid is he that demeth not hym silf in that thing that he preueth.

²² Thou hast feith anentis thi silf, haue thou bifore God. Blessid is he that demeth not hym silf in that thing that he preueth. ²³ For he that demeth, is dampned, if he etith; for it is not of feith. And al thing that is not of feith, is synne.

²³ For he that demeth, is dampned, if he etith; for it is not of feith. And al thing that is not of feith, is synne.

¹ But we saddere men owen to susteyne the feblenesses of sijke men, and not plese to vs silf.

¹ But we saddere men owen to susteyne the feblenesses of sijke men, and not plese to vs silf. ² Eche of vs plese to his neiybore in good, to edificacioun. ³ For Crist pleside not to hym silf, as it is writun, The repreues of men dispisynge thee, felden on me.

¹⁴ And, britheren, Y my silf am certeyn of you, that also ye ben ful of loue, and ye ben fillid with al kunnyng, so that ye moun moneste ech other.

² to hem that ben halewid in Crist Jhesu, and clepid seyntis, with alle that inwardli clepen the name of oure Lord Jhesu Crist, in ech place of hem and of oure,

⁵ For in alle thingis ye ben maad riche in hym, in ech word, and in ech kunnyng,

¹⁰ But, britheren, Y biseche you, bi the name of oure Lord Jhesu Crist, that ye alle seie the same thing, and that dissenciouns be not among you; but be ye perfit in the same wit, and in the same kunnyng. ¹¹ For, my britheren, it is teld to me of hem that ben at Cloes, that stryues ben among you.

⁹ But as it is writun, That iye say not, ne eere herde, nether it stiede in to herte of man, what thingis God arayede to hem that louen hym;

¹⁸ No man disseyue hym silf. If ony man among you is seyn to be wiys in this world, be he maad a fool, that he be wijs.

¹⁰ We foolis for Crist, but ye prudent in Crist; we sike, but ye stronge; ye noble, but we vnnoble.

¹⁸ As thouy Y schulde not come to you, so summe ben blowun with pride;

² And ye ben bolnyd with pride, and not more hadden weilyng, that he that dide this werk, be takun awei fro the myddil of you.

⁶ Youre gloriyng is not good. Witen ye not, that a litil sourdow apeyrith al the gobet?

¹² Alle thingis ben leeueful to me, but not alle thingis ben spedeful. Alle thingis ben leeueful to me, but Y schal not be brouyt doun vndur ony mannus power. ¹³ Mete to the wombe, and the wombe to metis; and God schal distruye bothe this and that. And the bodi not to fornycacioun, but to the Lord, and the Lord to the bodi.

¹ But of these thingis that ben sacrified to ydols, we witen, for alle we han kunnyng. But kunnyng blowith, charite edefieth.

¹ But of these thingis that ben sacrified to ydols, we witen, for alle we han kunnyng. But kunnyng blowith, charite edefieth. ² But if ony man gessith, that he kan ony thing, he hath not yit knowe hou it bihoueth hym to kunne.

² But if ony man gessith, that he kan ony thing, he hath not yit knowe hou it bihoueth hym to kunne.

⁴ But of metis that ben offrid to idols, we witen, that an idol is no thing in the world, and that ther is no God but oon.

⁶ netheles to vs is o God, the fadir, of whom ben alle thingis, and we in hym; and o Lord Jhesu Crist, bi whom ben alle thingis, and we bi hym. ⁷ But not in alle men is kunnyng. For summen with conscience of ydol til now eten as thing offrid to idolis; and her conscience is defoulid, for it is sijk.

⁷ But not in alle men is kunnyng. For summen with conscience of ydol til now eten as thing offrid to idolis; and her conscience is defoulid, for it is sijk.

⁹ But se ye, lest perauenture this your leeue be maad hurtyng to sijke men. ¹⁰ For if ony man schal se hym, that hath kunnyng, etynge in a place where idols ben worschipid, whethir his conscience, sithen it is sijke, schal not be edified to ete thingis offrid to idols?

¹⁰ For if ony man schal se hym, that hath kunnyng, etynge in a place where idols ben worschipid, whethir his conscience, sithen it is sijke, schal not be edified to ete thingis offrid to idols?

¹⁰ For if ony man schal se hym, that hath kunnyng, etynge in a place where idols ben worschipid, whethir his conscience, sithen it is sijke, schal not be edified to ete thingis offrid to idols? ¹¹ And the sijk brothir, for whom Crist diede, schal perische in thi kunnyng. ¹² For thus ye synnyng ayens britheren, and smytynge her sijk conscience synnen ayens Crist. ¹³ Wherfor if mete sclaundrith my brother, Y schal neuere ete fleisch, lest Y sclaundre my brothir.

¹² If othere ben parteneris of youre power, whi not rathere we? But we vsen not this power, but we suffren alle thingis, that we yyuen no lettyng to the euangelie of Crist.

¹⁹ Forwhi whanne Y was fre of alle men, Y made me seruaunt of alle men, to wynne the mo men. ²⁰ And to Jewis Y am maad as a Jew, to wynne the Jewis; to hem that ben vndur the lawe, ²¹ as Y were vndur the lawe, whanne Y was not vndur the lawe, to wynne hem that weren vndur the lawe; to hem that weren with out lawe, as Y were with out lawe, whanne Y was not with out the lawe of God, but Y was in the lawe of Crist, to wynne hem that weren with out lawe. ²² Y am maad sijk to sike men, to wynne sike men; to alle men Y am maad alle thingis, to make alle men saaf.

²² Y am maad sijk to sike men, to wynne sike men; to alle men Y am maad alle thingis, to make alle men saaf. ²³ But Y do alle thingis for the gospel, that Y be maad partener of it.

¹⁹ What therfor seie Y, that a thing that is offrid to idols is ony thing, or that the idol is ony thing?

¹⁹ What therfor seie Y, that a thing that is offrid to idols is ony thing, or that the idol is ony thing? ²⁰ But tho thingis that hethene men offren, thei offren to deuelis, and not to God. But Y nyle, that ye ben maad felowis of feendis; for ye moun not drynke the cuppe of the Lord, and the cuppe of fendis;

²⁰ But tho thingis that hethene men offren, thei offren to deuelis, and not to God. But Y nyle, that ye ben maad felowis of feendis; for ye moun not drynke the cuppe of the Lord, and the cuppe of fendis;

²⁰ But tho thingis that hethene men offren, thei offren to deuelis, and not to God. But Y nyle, that ye ben maad felowis of feendis; for ye moun not drynke the cuppe of the Lord, and the cuppe of fendis; ²¹ ye moun not be parteneris of the boord of the Lord, and of the bord of feendis.

²¹ ye moun not be parteneris of the boord of the Lord, and of the bord of feendis. ²² Whether we han enuye to the Lord? whether we ben strengere then he? Alle thingis ben leeueful to me, but not alle thingis ben spedeful.

²⁴ No man seke that thing that is his owne, but that thing that is of an othere.

²⁸ But if ony man seith, This thing is offrid to idols, nyle ye ete, for hym that schewide, and for conscience; and Y seie not,

²⁸ But if ony man seith, This thing is offrid to idols, nyle ye ete, for hym that schewide, and for conscience; and Y seie not, ²⁹ thi conscience, but of an othere. But wherto is my fredom demed of an othere mannus conscience?

²⁹ thi conscience, but of an othere. But wherto is my fredom demed of an othere mannus conscience?

³² Be ye with outen sclaundre to Jewis, and to hethene men, and to the chirche of God; ³³ as Y bi alle thingis plese to alle men, not sekynge that that is profitable to me, but that that is profitable to manye men, that thei be maad saaf.

³ Therfor Y make knowun to you, that no man spekynge in the spirit of God, seith departyng fro Jhesu; and no man may seie the Lord Jhesu, but in the Hooli Goost.

¹² For as ther is o body, and hath many membris, and alle the membris of the bodi whanne tho ben manye, ben o bodi, so also Crist.

¹ If Y speke with tungis of men and of aungels, and Y haue not charite, Y am maad as bras sownynge, or a cymbal tynkynge. ² And if Y haue prophecie, and knowe alle mysteries, and al kunnynge, and if Y haue al feith, so that Y meue hillis fro her place, and Y haue not charite, Y am nouyt. ³ And if Y departe alle my goodis in to the metis of pore men, and yf Y bitake my bodi, so that Y brenne, and if Y haue not charite, it profitith to me no thing. ⁴ Charite is pacient, it is benygne; charite enuyeth not, it doith not wickidli, it is not blowun, ⁵ it is not coueytouse, it sekith not tho thingis that ben hise owne, it is not stirid to wraththe, it thenkith not yuel,

⁵ it is not coueytouse, it sekith not tho thingis that ben hise owne, it is not stirid to wraththe, it thenkith not yuel, ⁶ it ioyeth not on wickidnesse, but it ioieth togidere to treuthe; ⁷ it suffrith alle thingis, it bileueth alle thingis, it hopith alle thingis, it susteyneth alle thingis. ⁸ Charite fallith neuere doun, whether prophecies schulen be voidid, ethir langagis schulen ceesse, ethir science schal be distried.

⁸ Charite fallith neuere doun, whether prophecies schulen be voidid, ethir langagis schulen ceesse, ethir science schal be distried. ⁹ For a parti we knowun, and a parti we prophecien;

⁹ For a parti we knowun, and a parti we prophecien; ¹⁰ but whanne that schal come that is parfit, that thing that is of parti schal be auoidid. ¹¹ Whanne Y was a litil child, Y spak as a litil child, Y vndurstood as a litil child, Y thouyte as a litil child; but whanne Y was maad a man, Y auoidide tho thingis that weren of a litil child. ¹² And we seen now bi a myrour in derknesse, but thanne face to face; now Y knowe of parti, but thanne Y schal knowe, as Y am knowun.

¹² And we seen now bi a myrour in derknesse, but thanne face to face; now Y knowe of parti, but thanne Y schal knowe, as Y am knowun. ¹³ And now dwellen feith, hope, and charite, these thre; but the most of these is charite.

²⁰ Britheren, nyle ye be maad children in wittis, but in malice be ye children; but in wittis be ye parfit.

³⁴ Awake ye, iuste men, and nyle ye do synne; for summen han ignoraunce of God, but to reuerence Y speke to you.

³ Yyue we to no man ony offencioun, that oure seruyce be not repreued;

²¹ Bi vnnoblei Y seie, as if we weren sike in this parti. In what thing ony man dar, in vnwisdom Y seie, and Y dar.

²⁹ Who is sijk, and Y am not sijk? who is sclaundrid, and Y am not brent?

⁸ But thanne ye vnknowynge God, serueden to hem that in kynde weren not goddis. ⁹ But now whanne ye han knowe God, and ben knowun of God, hou ben ye turned eftsoone to the febil and nedi elementis, to the whiche ye wolen eft serue?

¹³ For, britheren, ye ben clepid in to fredom; oneli yyue ye not fredom in to occasioun of fleisch, but bi charite of spirit serue ye togidere.

³ For who that trowith that he be ouyt, whanne he is nouyt, he bigilith him silf.

³ Blessid be God and the fadir of oure Lord Jhesu Crist, that hath blessid vs in al spiritual blessing in heuenli thingis in Crist,

²⁰ which he wrouyte in Crist, reisynge hym fro deth, and settynge him on his riyt half in heuenli thingis, ²¹ aboue ech principat, and potestat, and vertu, and domynacioun, and aboue ech name that is named, not oneli in this world, but also in the world to comynge; ²² and made alle thingis suget vndur hise feet, and yaf hym to be heed ouer al the chirche, ²³ that is the bodi of hym, and the plente of hym, which is alle thingis in alle thingis fulfillid.

¹⁴ For grace of this thing Y bowe my knees to the fadir of oure Lord Jhesu Crist,

⁵ o Lord, ⁶ o feith, o baptym, o God and fadir of alle, which is aboue alle men, and bi alle thingis, and in vs alle.

⁶ o feith, o baptym, o God and fadir of alle, which is aboue alle men, and bi alle thingis, and in vs alle.

¹⁶ of whom alle the bodi set togidere, and boundun togidere bi ech ioynture of vnder seruyng, bi worching in to the mesure of ech membre, makith encreesyng of the bodi, in to edificacioun of it silf in charite.

⁹ For which thing God enhaunside hym, and yaf to hym a name that is aboue al name; ¹⁰ that in the name of Jhesu ech kne be bowid, of heuenli thingis, of ertheli thingis, and of hellis; ¹¹ and ech tunge knouleche, that the Lord Jhesu Crist is in the glorie of God the fadir.

⁶ that cam to you, as also it is in al the world, and makith fruyt, and wexith, as in you, fro that dai in which ye herden and knewen the grace of God in treuthe.

¹⁶ For in hym alle thingis ben maad, in heuenes and in erthe, visible and vnuysible, ether trones, ether dominaciouns, ether princehodes, ethir poweris, alle thingis ben maad of nouyt bi hym, and in hym, ¹⁷ and he is bifor alle, and alle thingis ben in hym.

¹⁸ No man disseyue you, willynge to teche in mekenesse, and religioun of aungelis, tho thingis whiche he hath not seyn, walkinge veynli, bolnyd with wit of his fleisch,

²⁰ For if ye ben deed with Crist fro the elementis of this world, what yit as men lyuynge to the world demen ye? ²¹ That ye touche not, nether taaste, ²² nether trete with hoondis tho thingis, whiche alle ben in to deth bi the ilke vss, aftir the comaundementis and the techingis of men; ²³ whiche han a resoun of wisdom in veyn religioun and mekenesse, and not to spare the bodi, not in ony onour to the fulfillyng of the fleisch.

⁴ that is aduersarie, and is enhaunsid ouer `al thing that is seid God, or that is worschipid, so that he sitte in the temple of God, and schewe hym silf as if he were God.

⁵ For the ende of comaundement is charite of clene herte, and good conscience, and of feith not feyned. ⁶ Fro whiche thingis sum men han errid, and ben turned in to veyn speche; ⁷ and willith to be techeris of the lawe, and vndurstonden not what thingis thei speken, nether of what thingis thei affermen.

¹⁷ And to the king of worldis, vndeedli and vnvysible God aloone, be onour and glorie in to worldis of worldis. Amen.

⁵ For o God and a mediatour is of God and of men, a man Crist Jhesus,

⁵ For o God and a mediatour is of God and of men, a man Crist Jhesus, ⁶ that yaf him silf redempcioun for alle men. Whos witnessing is confermyd in his tymes;

³ If ony man techith othere wise, and acordith not to the hoolsum wordis of oure Lord Jhesu Crist, and to that teching that is bi pitee, ⁴ he is proud, and kan no thing, but langwischith aboute questiouns and stryuyng of wordis, of the whiche ben brouyt forth enuyes, stryues, blasfemyes, yuele suspiciouns, fiytingis of men,

¹⁹ But the sad foundement of God stondith, hauynge this marke, The Lord knowith whiche ben hise, and, Ech man that nameth the name of the Lord, departith fro wickidnesse.

⁸ And as Jannes and Mambres ayenstoden Moises, so these ayenstonden treuthe, men corrupt in vndirstonding, repreuyd aboute the feith. ⁹ But ferthere thei schulen not profite, for the vnwisdom of hem schal be knowun to alle men, as hern was.

² laste in these daies he hath spoke to vs bi the sone; whom he hath ordeyned eir of alle thingis, and bi whom he made the worldis. ³ Which whanne also he is the briytnesse of glorie, and figure of his substaunce, and berith alle thingis bi word of his vertu, he makith purgacioun of synnes, and syttith on the riythalf of the maieste in heuenes;

⁹ Nyle ye be led awei with dyuerse `techingis, and straunge. For it is best to stable the herte with grace, not with metis, whiche profitiden not to men wandringe in hem.

¹² Blessid is the man, that suffrith temptacioun; for whanne he schal be preued, he schal resseyue the coroun of lijf, which God biheyte to men that louen hym.

⁵ Heere ye, my moost dereworthe britheren, whethir God chees not pore men in this world, riche in feith, and eiris of the kyngdom, that God bihiyte to men that louen him?

² of Asye, and of Bitynye, bi the `bifor knowyng of God, the fadir, in halewyng of spirit, bi obedience, and springyng of the blood of Jhesu Crist, grace and pees be multiplied to you. ³ Blessid be God, and the fadir of oure Lord Jhesu Crist, which bi his greet merci bigat vs ayen in to lyuynge hope, bi the ayen risyng of Jhesu Crist fro deth,

⁸ Whom whanne ye han not seyn, ye louen; in to whom also now ye not seynge, bileuen; but ye that bileuen schulen haue ioye, and gladnesse that may not be teld out,

²¹ for you that bi hym ben feithful in God; that reiside hym fro deth, and yaf to hym euerlastynge glorie, that youre feith and hope were in God.

¹⁶ As fre men, and not as hauynge fredom the keuering of malice, but as the seruauntis of God.

¹⁹ Whiche lyuen in errour, and biheten fredom to hem, whanne thei ben seruauntis of corrupcioun. For of whom ony man is ouercomun, of hym also he is seruaunt.

¹⁹ Therfor loue we God, for he louede vs bifore.

² In this thing we knowen, that we louen the children of God, whanne we louen God, and don his maundementis. ³ For this is the charite of God, that we kepe hise maundementis; and his maundementis ben not heuy.

²⁵ bi Jhesu Crist oure Lord, be glorie, and magnefiyng, empire, and power, bifore alle worldis, `and now and in to alle worldis of worldis. Amen.

¹⁸ and lo! Y am lyuynge in to worldis of worldis, and Y haue the keyes of deth and of helle.

⁹ Y woot thi tribulacioun, and thi pouert, but thou art riche; and thou art blasfemyd of hem, that seien, that thei ben Jewis, and ben not, but ben the synagoge of Sathanas.

¹³ Y woot where thou dwellist, where the seete of Sathanas is; and thou holdist my name, and denyedist not my feith. And in tho daies was Antifas, my feithful witnesse, that was slayn at you, where Sathanas dwellith. ¹⁴ But Y haue ayens thee a fewe thingis; for thou hast `there men holdinge the teching of Balaam, which tauyte Balaac for to sende sclaundre bifor the sones of Israel, to ete of sacrificis of ydols, and to do fornicacioun;

¹⁹ Y knowe thi werkis, and feith, and charite, and thi seruyce, and thi pacience, and thi laste werkis mo than the formere. ²⁰ But Y haue ayens thee a fewe thingis; for thou suffrist the womman Jesabel, which seith that sche is a prophetesse, to teche and disseyue my seruauntis, to do letcherie, and to ete of thingis offrid to idols.

⁸ I woot thi werkis, and lo! Y yaf bifore thee a dore opened, which no man may close; for thou hast a litil vertu, and hast kept my word, and denyest not my name. ⁹ Lo! Y schal yyue to thee of the synagoge of Sathanas, whiche seien that thei ben Jewis, and ben not, but lyen. Lo! Y schal make hem, that thei come, and worschipe byfor thi feet; and thei schulen wite,

¹⁵ I woot thi werkis, for nether thou art cold, nether thou art hoot; Y wolde that thou were could, ethir hoot; ¹⁶ but for thou art lew, and nether cold, nether hoot, Y schal bigynne to caste thee out of my mouth.
