¶ The .xv. Chapter.
¶ The infyanitte and fraylnes of the weake ought
to be borne wyth all loue and kyndnesse, after the
ensample of Chryst.
A We whych are str&obar;ge note ought
to beare the fraylnes of th&ebar;,
whych are weake, and not
to stonde in oure awne consaytes.
Let euery man please
hys neyghbour vnto hys
welth and edifyinge. For
Christ pleased not him selfe: but as it is written.
noteThe rebukes of th&ebar; which rebuked þe;,
fell on me. &cross2; noteWhatsoeuer thinges are written
afore tyme, they are writt&ebar; for our learnynge,
that we thorow pacience and comforte
of the scriptures, myght haue hope.
The God of pacyence and consolacyon,
graunt you, to be lyke mynded one towardes
another,
B after the ensample of Chryst
Iesu: note that ye all agreynge together maye
wyth one mouth prayse God the father of
oure Lorde Iesus Chryst. Wherfore, receaue
ye one another, as Chryst receaued vs, to
the prayse of God. And thys I saye, that Iesus
Chryst was a mynister of the circumcisyon
for the trueth of God, to conferme the
promyses made vnto þe; fathers: note that the
g&ebar;tyls myght prayse God for hys mercy, as
-- --
it is wrytten. noteFor this cause I will prayse
the amonge the gentyls, and synge vnto thy
name. And agayne he sayth: note reioyse ye gentyles
wyth hys people. And agayne, note prayse
the Lorde all ye gentyls, and laude hym
all ye nacyons together.
C And agayne Esay
sayth: ther shalbe note the rote of Iesie, and he
that shall ryse to raygne ouer the gentyls: in
hym shall the gentyls trust. The God of hope
fyll you wyth all ioye and peace in beleuyng:
that ye maye be ryche in hope, thorow
the power of the holy ghost. &cross3;
I my selfe am full certifyed of you (my brethren)
that ye also are full of goodnes, ∧ fylled
with all knowledge, willinge to exhorte
one another. Neuerthelesse (brethren) I haue
some what more boldly wrytten vnto
you, partely to put you in rem&ebar;braunce, thorow
the grace that is geuen me of God, that
I shuld be þe; minister of Iesu Christ amonge
D
the G&ebar;tyls, ∧ shuld minyster the Gospell of
God, that the offeryng of the gentyls myght
be acceptable, ∧ sanctified by the holy ghost.
I haue therfore wherof I maye reioyse thorow
Chryst Iesu, in those th&ibar;ges which pertayne
to God. For I dare not speake of eny
of those thynges, whych Chryst hath not
wrought by me, to make þe; G&ebar;tyls obedi&ebar;t,
with worde and dede, in myghty sygnes ∧
wonders, by the power of the sprete of God:
so that from Ierusalem ∧ the coastes rounde
aboute vnto Illyryc&ubar;, I haue fylled all co&ubar;tres
with the Gospell of Christ.
E So haue I enforsed my selfe to preache þe;
Gospell, not where Chryst was named, lest
I shulde haue bylt on another mannes foundacyon:
but as it is written. noteTo whom he
was not spoken of, they shall se: ∧ they that
hearde not, shall vnderstande. For this cause
I haue bene ofte let (and let am as yet) þt; I
could not come vnto you: but nowe, seynge
I haue nomore to do in these countrees, and
also haue bene desyrous many yeares to come
vnto you, whensoeuer I take my iorney
into spayne, I wyll come to you. For I trust
to se you in my iorney, and to be brought on
my waye thither warde by you, after that I
haue somwhat enioyed your acquainta&ubar;ce.
F Now go I vnto Ierusalem, and note minister
vnto the saynctes. For it hath pleased
them of Macedonia and Achaia to make a
certayne distribucyon vpon the poore saynctes,
whych are at Ierusal&ebar;. It hath pleased
them verely, and their detters are they. For
yf the Gentyls be made partetakers of their
spirituall thynges, their dutie is to minyster
vnto them in bodyly thinges. When I haue
performed this, and haue brought them this
frute sealed, I wyll come backe agayne by
you into Spayne. I am sure that wh&ebar; I come
vnto you I shall come with abounda&ubar;ce
of the blessynge of the Gospell of Chryst.
&cross2; I beseche you brethren for oure Lord Iesus
Christes sake,
G &abar;d for the loue of þe; sprete,
that ye helpe me in my busynes with youre
prayers to God for me, that I maye be delyuered
from th&ebar; which beleue not in Iewry: ∧
that this my seruice, which I haue to do at
Ierusalem, maye be accepted of the saynctes,
that I maye come vnto you with ioye,
by the will of God, and maye with you be refresshed.
The God note of peace be wyth you
all. Amen. &cross3;
