CAP. V.
1 Forsoth, britheren, of `tymes and momentis
&yogh;e neden not that I write to &yogh;ou.
2 Also &yogh;e silf diligentli witen, for the day
of the Lord, as a theef in ny&yogh;t, so schal
come.
3 Sothli whanne thei schulen seye
pees and sikurnesse, thanne sudeyn
perischinge, `or deeth, schal come `aboue
to hem, as sorwe to a womman `beringe
child, and thei schulen not scape.
4 Forsoth,
britheren, &yogh;e ben not in derknessis,
that `the ilke day as a theef catche &yogh;ou.
-- --
5 Sothli alle &yogh;e ben the sones of ly&yogh;t, and
sones of day; we ben not of ny&yogh;t, nethir
of derknessis.
6 Therfore slepe we not as
and othere; but wake, and be we sobre.
7 Forsoth thei that slepen, slepen in the
ny&yogh;t, and thei that ben drunken, ben
drunken in ny&yogh;t.
8 Forsoth we that ben
of the day, ben sobre, clothid the haburioun
of feith and charite, and the
helm, hope of heelthe.
9 For God puttide
not vs into wraththe, but into the purchasyng
of heelthe by oure Lord Jhesu
Crist,
10 that was deed for vs; that where
we waken, where we slepen, we lyue to
gidere with him.
11 For which thing `be &yogh;e
comfortid to gidere, and `edifie &yogh;e ech
othir, as and &yogh;e don.
12 Forsoth, britheren,
we preien &yogh;ou, that &yogh;e schulen knowe hem
that trauelen among &yogh;ou, and ben bifore
to &yogh;ou in the Lord, and monesten, `or
techen,
13 &yogh;ou, that &yogh;e haue hem more haboundantli
in charite; for the work of
hem, haue &yogh;e pees with hem.
14 Forsoth,
britheren, we preien &yogh;ou, reproue, `or
chastyse, &yogh;e vnquyete men. Comforte &yogh;e
men of litil herte, resceyue &yogh;e syke men,
be &yogh;e pacient to alle men.
15 Se &yogh;e, that no
man &yogh;elde yuel for yuel; but euermore sue
&yogh;e that that is good, to gidere and into
alle men.
16
17 Euermore ioye &yogh;e; with oute
ceessynge preie &yogh;e;
18 in alle thingis do &yogh;e
thankyngis. Forsothe this is the wille
of God in Crist Jhesu, and in alle &yogh;ou.
19
20 Nyle &yogh;e `quenche the spirit; nyle &yogh;e dispise
prophecies.
21 Forsoth proue &yogh;e alle
thingis, holde &yogh;e that thing that is good.
22 Absteyne &yogh;ou fro al yuel spice, `or liknesse.
23 Forsothe `the same God of pees
make &yogh;ou hooly by alle thingis, that &yogh;oure
spirit be kept hool, and soule, and body,
with oute playnt, in the comynge of oure
-- --
Lord Jhesu Crist.
24 God is trewe, that
clepide &yogh;ou, the which also schal do.
25
26 Britheren, preie &yogh;e for vs. `Greete &yogh;e wel
alle britheren in hooly coss.
27 I coniure
&yogh;ou by the Lord, that this pistle be rad
to alle hooly britheren.
28 The grace of oure
Lord Jhesu Crist be with &yogh;ou alle. Amen.
Here endith the firste pistle to Tessalonycensis,
and bigynneth the prologe to
the secunde pistle.
