¹ My litle children, these thinges wryte I vnto you, that ye shulde not synne: and yf eny man synne, we haue an aduocate with the father, euen Iesus Christ which is righteous: ² and he it is that optayneth grace for oure synnes: not for oure synnes onely, but also for the synnes of all the worlde. ³ And hereby are we sure that we knowe him, yf we kepe his comaundemetes. ⁴ He that sayeth: I knowe him, and kepeth not his comaundemetes, is a lyar, and the trueth is not in him, ⁵ But who so kepeth his worde, in him is the loue of God perfecte in dede. Hereby knowe we, that we are in him. ⁶ He yt sayeth he abydeth in him, oughte to walke euen as he walked. ⁷ Brethren, I wryte no new commaundement vnto you, but that olde commaundement, which ye haue herde from the begynnynge. ⁸ The olde comaundement is the worde, which ye haue herde from the begynnynge. Agayne, a new comaundemet wryte I vnto you, a thinge that is true in him & also in you: for the darknesse is past, and the true lighte now shyneth. ⁹ He that sayeth he is in lighte, and hateth his brother, is yet in darknesse. ¹⁰ He yt loueth his brother, abydeth in the lighte, and there is none occasion of euell in him. ¹¹ But he yt hateth his brother, is in darknes, and walketh in darknes, and can not tell whither he goeth, for ye darknes hath blynded his eyes. ¹² Babes, I wryte vnto you, that yor synnes are forgeuen you for his names sake. ¹³ I wryte vnto you fathers, how that ye haue knowne him which is from ye begynnynge. I wryte vnto you yonge me, how that ye haue euercome the wicked. I wryte vnto you litle children, how that ye haue knowne the father. ¹⁴ I haue wrytten vnto you fathers, how that ye haue knowne him, which is fro the begynnynge. I haue wrytten vnto you yonge men, how that ye are stronge, and the worde of God abydeth in you, and ye haue ouercome that wicked. ¹⁵ Se that ye loue not the worlde, nether ye thinges that are in the worlde. Yf eny man loue the worlde, the loue of the father is not in him: ¹⁶ for all that is in the worlde (namely the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and 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 wyll of God, abydeth for euer. ¹⁸ Litle children, it is the last houre, and (as ye haue herde that Antechrist shal come) euen now are there many become Antechristes allready: wherby we knowe, that it is ye last houre. ¹⁹ They wente out fro vs, but they were not of vs: for yf they had bene of vs, they wolde no doute haue contynued with vs. But that they maye be knowne, how that they are not all of vs. ²⁰ But ye haue the anoyntinge of him yt is holy, & ye knowe all thiges. ²¹ I haue not wrytte vnto you, as though ye knewe not ye trueth but ye knowe it, & are sure, yt no lye cometh of ye trueth. ²² Who is a lyar, but he yt denyeth yt Iesus is Christ? The same is ye Antichrist, yt denyeth the father & ye sonne. ²³ Whosoeuer denyeth the sonne, the same hath not the father. ²⁴ Loke what ye haue herde now from ye begynnynge, let the same abyde in you. Yf yt which he herde from the begynnynge shal remayne in you, then shal ye also abyde in ye sonne and in the father. ²⁵ And this is the promes yt he hath promysed vs, eue eternall life. ²⁶ This haue I wrytte vnto you cocerninge the that disceaue you. ²⁷ And the anoyntinge which ye haue receaued of him, dwelleth in you: & ye nede not yt eny ma teach you, but as the anoyntinge teacheth you all thiges, euen so is it true, & is no lye. And as it hath taughte you, eue so abide ye therin. ²⁸ And now babes, abyde in hi, yt wha he shal appeare, we maye be bolde, & not be made ashamed of him at his commynge. ²⁹ Yf ye knowe yt he is righteous, knowe also that he which doth righteousnes, is borne of him.

¹ Iames the seruaunt of God and of the LORDE Iesus Christ, sendeth gretinge to the xij. trybes which are scatered here & there. ² My brethren, counte it exceadynge ioye whe ye fall in to diuers temptacions, ³ for as moche as ye knowe, how yt the tryinge of youre faith bringeth pacience: ⁴ and let pacience haue her parfect worke, yt ye maye be parfecte aud sounde, lakinge nothinge. ⁵ Yf eny of you lacke wyssdome, let him axe of God, which geueth to all men indifferentlie, and casteth no man in the teth: and it shal be geue him. ⁶ But let him axe in faith and wauer not. For he that douteth, is lyke the wawes of ye See, tost of the wynde, and caried wt violence. ⁷ Nether let yt man thinke that he shal receaue eny thige of ye LORDE. ⁸ A wauerynge mynded ma ys vnstable in all his waies. ⁹ Let the brother of lowe degre reioyce, in yt he is exalted: ¹⁰ and the rich, in yt he is made lowe. For eue as the flor of ye grasse shal he vanyshe awaye. ¹¹ The Sonne ryseth wt heat and the grasse wydereth, & his floure falleth awaye, and the beautie of the fassion of it perissheth: euen so shal the ryche man perisshe with his abundaunce. ¹² Happy is the man that endureth in teptacion, for when he is tryed, he shal receaue the crowne of life, which the LORDE hath promised to them that loue him. ¹³ Let no man saye when he is tempted, yt he is tempted of God. For God tepteth not vnto euell, nether tepteth he eny man. ¹⁴ But euery ma is tepted, drawne awaye, & entysed of his awne cocupiscece. ¹⁵ The whe lust hath conceaued, she bringeth forth synne, & synne when it is fynished, bringeth forth deeth. ¹⁶ Erre not my deare brethre. ¹⁷ Euery good gifte, & euery parfait gift, is from aboue, and cometh downe from ye father of light, with whom is no variablenes, nether is he chaunged vnto darcknes. ¹⁸ Of his awne will begat he vs with the worde of life, that we shulde be the fyrst frutes of his creatures. ¹⁹ Wherfore deare brethren, let euery man be swifte to heare, slowe to speake, and slowe to wrath. ²⁰ For the wrath of ma worketh not that which is righteous before God. ²¹ Wherfore laye aparte all fylthines, all superfluite of maliciousnes, & receaue with meknes ye worde yt is grafted in you, which is able to saue youre soules. ²² And se that ye be doers of ye worde & not heares only, deceauinge youre awne selues. ²³ For yf eny heare the worde, and do it not, he is like vnto a ma that beholdeth his bodily face in a glasse. ²⁴ For assone as he hath loked on himselfe, he goeth his waye, and forgetteth immediatly what his fasshion was. ²⁵ But who so loketh in ye perfect lawe of libertie, and continueth therin (yf he be not a forgetfull hearer, but a doar of the worke) the same shalbe happie in his dede. ²⁶ Yf eny man amonge you seme deuoute, & refrayne not his toge: but deceaue his awne herte, this mannes deuocion is in vayne. ²⁷ Pure deuocion and vndefiled before God the father, is this: to visit the frendlesse and widdowes in their aduersite, and to kepe him selfe vnspotted of the worlde.

¹⁵ Yf thy brother trespace agaynst the, go and tell him his faute betwene the and him alone. Yf he heare the, thou hast wone thy brother. ¹⁶ But yf he heare the not, then take yet with the one or two, that in the mouth of two or thre wytnesses, euery matter maye be stablyshed. ¹⁷ Yf he heare not them, tell it vnto the congregacion. Yf he heare not the cogregacion, holde him as an Heithen and Publican.

¹¹ But wha Peter was come to Antioche, I withstode him in ye face: for he was worthy to be blamed. ¹² For afore there came certayne from Iames, he ate with the Heythe. But wha they were come, he withdrue and separated himselfe, fearinge the which were of the circumcision. ¹³ And the other Iewes dyssembled with him likewyse, in so moch yt Barnabas was brought in to their symulacion also. ¹⁴ But whan I sawe that they walked not right after ye trueth of the Gospell, I sayde vnto Peter openly before all: Yf thou beynge a Iewe, lyuest after the maner of the Gentyles, and not as do the Iewes, why causest thou the Gentyles then to lyue as do the Iewes?

¹⁶ For all scripture geue by inspiracion of God, is profitable to teach, to improue, to amende, and to instructe in righteousnes,

² Preach thou the worde, be feruent, be it in season or out of season: Improue, rebuke, exhorte with all longe sufferynge and doctryne.

¹ Brethren, Yf eny ma be ouertaken of a faute, ye which are spirituall, enfourme him with a meke sprete: and considre thine owne selfe, that thou also be not tempted.

¹⁵ Yf thy brother trespace agaynst the, go and tell him his faute betwene the and him alone. Yf he heare the, thou hast wone thy brother. ¹⁶ But yf he heare the not, then take yet with the one or two, that in the mouth of two or thre wytnesses, euery matter maye be stablyshed. ¹⁷ Yf he heare not them, tell it vnto the congregacion. Yf he heare not the cogregacion, holde him as an Heithen and Publican. ¹⁸ Verely I saye vnto you: what soeuer ye shal bynde vpon earth, shalbe boude also in heauen: & what soeuer ye lowse vpon earth, shalbe lowsed also in heaue. ¹⁹ Agayne, I saye vnto you: Yf two of you shal agree vpon earth (for what thinge soeuer it be yt they wolde desyre) they shal haue it of my father which is in heaue. ²⁰ For where two or thre are gathered together i my name, there am I in the myddest amonge them.
