Philippians 1:6
6 and am surely certified of this, yt he which hath begonne that good worke in you, shal go forth with it vntyll ye daye of Iesus Christ:
2 Peter 1:5-9
5 Geue ye all youre diligence therfore here vnto, and in youre faith mynister vertue: in vertue, knowlege:
6 in knowlege, temperancy: in temperancy, pacience: in pacience, godlynes:
7 in godlynes, brotherly loue: in brotherly loue, generall loue.
8 For yf these thinges be plenteous in you, they will not let you be ydle nor vnfrutefull in ye knowlege of oure LORDE Iesus Christ.
9 But he that lacketh these thinges, is blynde, & gropeth for the waye with the hade, and hath forgotten, that he was clensed from his olde synnes.
James 2:14-26
14 What a vayleth it my brethre, though a man saye he hath faith, when he hath no dedes? Can faith saue him?
15 If a brother or a sister be naked or destitute of dayly fode,
16 & one of you saye vnto them: Departe in peace, God sende you warmnes and fode: notwithstodinge ye geue them not tho thinges which are nedfull to the body: what helpeth it them?
17 Euen so faith, yf it haue no dedes, is deed in it selfe.
18 Ye & a man might saye: Thou hast faith, and I haue dedes: Shewe me thy faith by thy dedes: and I wil shewe the my faith by my dedes.
19 Beleuest thou yt ther is one God? Thou doest well. The deuils also beleue and tremble.
20 Wilt thou vnderstode o thou vayne man that faith with out dedes is deed:
21 Was not Abraham oure father iustified thorow workes when he offered Isaac his sonne vpon the aulter?
22 Thou seist how yt faith wrought with his dedes, and through ye dedes was the faith made perfect:
23 & the scripture was fulfilled which faith: Abraha beleued God and it was reputed vnto him for rightewesnes: and he was called ye frende of God.
24 Ye se then how that of dedes a man is iustified, and not of faith only
25 Likewise also was not Raab the harlot iustified thorow workes, when she receaued the messengers, and sent them out another waye?
26 For as the body, with oute the sprete is deed, euen so faith wt out dedes is deed.
Galatians 5:22-23
Genesis 1:28
28 And God blessed them, and sayde vnto them: Growe, and multiplie, and fyll the earth, and subdue it, & haue domynion ouer the fish of the see, and ouer the foules of the ayre, and ouer all the beastes that crepe vpo the earth.
John 15:1-27
1 I am a true vyne, and my father is an hussbande man.
2 Euery braunch that bringeth not forth frute in me, shal he cut of: and euery one that bryngeth forth frute, shal he pourge, yt it maye bringe forth more frute.
3 Now are ye cleane, because of the worde, that I haue spoke vnto you.
4 Byde ye in me, and I in you. Like as ye braunch can not brynge forth frute of it self excepte it byde in the vyne, Euen so nether ye also, excepte ye abyde in me.
5 I am the vyne, ye are the braunches. He that abydeth in me, and I in him, the same bryngeth forth moch frute: for without me can ye do nothinge.
6 He that abydeth not in me, is cast out as a vyne braunche, and it wythereth, and men gather it vp, and cast it in to the fyre, and it burneth.
7 Yf ye abyde in me, and my wordes abyde in you, ye shal axe what ye wyl, & it shal be done vnto you.
8 Herin is my father praysed, that ye brynge forth moch frute, and become my disciples.
9 Like as my father hath loued me, eue so haue I loued you. Cotynue ye i my loue.

11 These thinges haue I spoken vnto you, that my ioye might remayne in you, and yt youre ioye might be perfecte.
12 This is my comaundement, that ye loue together, as I haue loued you.
13 No man hath greater loue, then to set his life for his frende.
14 Ye are my frendes, yf ye do that I commaunde you.
15 Hence forth call I you not seruauntes, for a seruaunt knoweth not what his lorde doeth. But I haue sayde that ye are frendes: For all that I haue herde of my father, haue I shewed vnto you.
16 Ye haue not chosen me, but I haue chosen you, and ordeyned you, that ye go, and bringe forth frute, and that youre frute contynne, that what soeuer ye axe the father in my name, he shulde geue it you.
17 This I commaunde you, that ye loue one another.
18 Yf the worlde hate you, then knowe, that it hath hated me before you.
19 Yf ye were of the worlde, the worlde wolde loue his awne. Howbeit because ye are not of the worlde, but I haue chosen you from the worlde, therfore the worlde hateth you.
20 Remembre my worde, that I sayde vnto you: The seruaunt is not greater then his lorde. Yf they haue persecuted me, they shal persecute you also: Yf they haue kepte my worde, they shal kepe yours also.
21 But all this shal they do vnto you for my names sake, because they knowe not him yt sent me.
22 Yf I had not come & spoke vnto the, the shulde they haue no synne But now haue they nothinge to cloake their synne withall.

24 Yf I had not done amoge the the workes which no other ma dyd, they shulde haue no synne. But now haue they sene it, and yet haue they hated both me & my father.
25 Neuertheles that the sayenge might be fulfilled, which is wrytten in their lawe: They haue hated me without a cause.
26 But wha the comforter commeth, who I shal sende you from the father eue the sprete of trueth which proceadeth of the father, he shal testifie of me
27 and ye shal beare wytnesse also: for ye haue bene with me from the begynnynge.
