¶ The .xij. Chapter.
¶ The swete conuersacyon, loue, and workes of soch
as beleue in Chryst.
A I beseche you therfore brethren, by
the mercyfulnes of God, that ye
make yo&highr; bodies a quycke sacryfice,
holy ∧ acceptable vnto God:
which is youre resonable seruynge of God ∧
fassy&obar; not youre selues lyke vnto this worlde:
but be ye chaunged in youre shape, by the
renuyng of your mynde, that ye maye proue
what thynge that good, and acceptable, and
perfaycte wyll of God is. note For I saye (thorowe
the grace that vnto me geu&ebar; is) to euery
man amonge you, that note noman stonde
hye in his owne conceate, more then it bec&obar;meth
hym to esteme of him selfe: but so iudge
of hym selfe, that he be gentle and sober, accordynge,
as God hath dealte to euery man
the measure of fayth.
B For as we haue many membres in one body,
and all members haue not one office: so
we beynge many, are one body in Chryst, &abar;d
euery man among oure selues, one anothers
members. &cross3; note&cross2; Seynge that we haue diuers
gyftes accordynge to the grace that is
geuen vnto vs: yf eny man haue the gyft of
note &pro;phesye, let him haue it that it be agreyng
vnto the fayth. noteLet hym that hath an office
wayte on his office. Let him that teacheth
take hede to hys doctryne. Let hym that exhorteth,
geue attendaunce to his exhortaci&obar;.
If eny man geue, let hym do it with synglenes.
Let hym that ruleth, do it wit diligence.
If eny man shewe mercy, let hym do it with
cherfulnes. Let loue be without dissimulaci&obar;
Hate that which is euyll ∧ cleaue vnto that
which is good.
C Be kynd one to another wich
brotherly loue. noteIn geuynge honoure, go
one before another. noteBe not slouthfull &ibar; the
busynes which ye haue in hande. Be feruent
in the sprete. &rhand; Applye youre selues to the
tyme. Reioyce in hope. Be pacient in tribulacion.
Continue in prayer. Distribute vnto
the necessite of þe; sayntes: note be readie to harboure.
noteBlesse them which persecute you:
blesse (I saye) and course not. Be mery with
th&ebar; that are mery. Wepe also with them that
wepe.
D Be of lyke affecci&obar; one towardes another.
Be not hye mynded: but make youre selues
equall to them of the lower sorte. &cross2;
&cross2; Be not wyse in youre awne opynyons.
Recompence to no man euyll for euyll. Prouyde
afore hande thynges honeste (not onely
before God, but also) in the syght of all men. If it
be possyble, (as moch as is in you) lyue peaceably
with all men. Dearly beloued, au&ebar;ge
not youre selues, but rather geue place vnto
wrath. For it is wrytten: note vengeaunce is
myne, I wyll rewarde, sayth the Lorde.
Therfore, yf thyne enemy h&obar;ger, fede him:
yf he thyrst, geue hym dryncke. For in so
doyng &rhand; thou shalt heape coles of fyre on
hys heade. Be not ouercome of euyll, but
ouercome euyll, with goodnes: &cross3;
