The .iij. Chapter.
¶ He sheweth the cause of hys enprisonmente desyreth
them not to faynte, because of his trouble, and
prayeth God to make them stedfaste in hys spyryte.
A noteFor this cause I Paule am in
the bondes of Iesu Christ for
your sakes, whiche are heathen.
Yf ye haue hearde of the ministration
of the grace of God,
whiche is geuen me to youward. For by reuelation
shewed he this misterie to me as I
wrote aboue in fewe wordes, wherby when
ye reade, ye maye knowe myne vnderstandinge
in the misterye of Christe. Which mysterye
in tymes passed was not opened to the
sonnes of men, as it is now declared vnto his
holye Apostles and Prophetes by the spyrite
that the Gentyles shoulde be inheritours also,
and of the same bodye, and partakers of
hys promes that is in Christe, by the meanes
of the Gospell, wherof I am made a mynyster,
by the gyfte of the grace of God geuen
vnto me thorowe the workynge of hys
power.
B Vnto me the leaste of all sainctes is this
grace geuen, that I shoulde preache amonge
the Gentyls the vnsearcheable ryches of
Christe, note and to make all men se what the fellowshyp
of the mysterye is, whiche from the
beginninge of the worlde hath bene hyde in
God, whiche made all thinges thorowe Iesus
Christ, to the entente, that nowe vnto the
rulers ∧ powers in heau&ebar; myght be know&ebar;
(by the congregation) the manifolde wysedome
of God, accordinge to the eternal purpose,
whiche he purposed in Christe Iesu our
Lorde, by whom we are bold to drawe nighe
in that truste, whyche we haue by fayth on
on him. &cross2; Wherfore I desyre that ye faynte
not because of my tribulations for your sakes,
whiche is your prayse.
C &rhand; For this cause I bowe my knees vnto the
father of oure Lorde Iesus Christ, whiche is
father ouer all that is called father, in heauen
and in earth, that he woulde graunt you accordinge
to the ryches of his glorie, that ye
maye be strenghted wyth mighte by his spirite
in the inner man, that Christ may dwell
in your hertes by05Q1475 fayth, that ye beinge roted
and grounded in loue, might be able to c&obar;prehende
wyth all sainctes, what is þe; bread
and length, deapt and height: and to knowe,
what is the loue of Christe, whyche loue passeth
knowledge, that ye myghte be fulfylled
wyth all maner of fulnes, whiche cometh
of God.
Vnto hym that is able to do excedinge
aboundantly aboue all þt; we are or thinke, accordinge
to the power that worketh in vs, be
prayse in the congregation by Iesus Christe,
thorowout al generacions, from time to time.
Amen.
