CAP. IV.
1 Therfore we hauynge this administracioun,
`or office, vp which we han getun
mercy,
2 faylen not, but don awey the priuey
thingis of schame, not walkynge in
sutil gyle, nether auoutrynge the word of
God, but in schewinge of treuthe comendinge
vs silf to ech conscience of
men bifore God.
3 For if also oure gospel
is keuerid, `or hid, in these that perischen
it is keuerid;
4 in whiche the God
of this world hath blyndid the soules of
men out of the bileue, `or vnfeithful
men, that the li&yogh;tnynge of the gospel of
the glorie of Crist, that is the ymage of
-- --
God inuysible, schyne not.
5 Sothli we
prechen not vs silf, but Jhesu Crist oure
Lord; forsothe vs &yogh;oure seruauntis by
Jhesu.
6 For God, that seide the ly&yogh;t for
to schyne of derknessis, he hath ynli&yogh;tid
in oure hertis, to the illumynynge of the
science of the cleernesse of God, into
the face of Jhesu Crist.
7 Forsothe we
han this tresour in brotil vesselis, that
the hi&yogh;nesse be of Goddis vertu, and not
of vs.
8 In alle thingis we suffren tribulacioun,
but we ben not `maad streit;
we ben maad pore, but we ben not distroyed;
we suffren persecucioun,
9 but we
ben not forsaken; we ben maad lowe,
but we ben not confoundid; we ben
cast down, but we perischen not;
10 euermore
beringe aboute the mortifyinge of
Jhesu Crist in oure body, that and the
lyf of Jhesu be schewid in oure bodies.
11 Sothli euermore we that lyuen,
ben takun in to deeth for Jhesu, that
and the lyf of Jhesu be schewid in oure
deedly fleisch.
12 Therfore deeth worchith
in vs, lyf sothli in &yogh;ou.
13 Forsoth hauynge
the same spirit of feith, as it is
writun, I haue bileued, for which thing
I spak; and we bileuen, for which thing
and we speken;
14 witynge for he that
reiside Jhesu, schal reise and vs with
Jhesu, and schal ordeyne vs with &yogh;ou.
15 Sothli alle thingis for &yogh;ou, that grace
beynge plenteuous by manye in doynge
of thankingis be plenteuous into glorie
of God.
16 For which thing we faylen not,
but thou&yogh; `the ilke that is withouteforth,
oure man be coruptid; nethelees that
man that is withinne forth, is renewid,
-- --
`or maad newe a&yogh;en, fro day into day.
17 Forsoth that that is `in present, `or
now, `a litil moment lastynge, and li&yogh;t,
`or esy, thing of oure tribulacioun,
worchith ouer manere, `or mesure, into
hi&yogh;nesse the euerelasting wei&yogh;te of glorie
in vs,
18 vs not biholdynge tho thingis that
ben seyn, but tho that ben not seyn.
Sothli tho thingis that ben seyn, ben
temperal, `or durynge by short tyme;
forsothe tho thingis that ben not seyn, ben
euerlastinge, `or withouten ende.
