¶ The .iij. Chapter.
¶ He warneth them to beware of false techers,
whom he calleth dogges and enemyes of Chryst,
and reproueth mannes awne ryghteousnes.
A Moreouer, (brethren) reioyce ye in
the Lorde. It greueth me not to
wryte one thynge often to you.
For to you it is a sure thynge. Beware
of dogges, beware of euyll workers.
Beware of dissensyon. noteFor we are circumcisyon,
which serue God note in the sprete, and
reioyce in Chryst Iesu, and haue no confydence
in the flesshe: though I myght also reioyce
in the flesshe. If eny other m&abar; thynketh
that he hath wherof he might trust in the flesshe:
I haue more: beynge circumcysed the
eyght daye, of the kynred of Israel, of the
trybe of Beniamin note an Ebrue borne of the
Ebrues note as concernynge the lawe, a Pharisaye:
as concernynge feruentnes, I persecuted
the congregacyon, as touchynge the ryghtewesnes
which is in the lawe, I was vnrebukable.
noteBut the thynges that were vauntage
vnto me,
B those I counted losse for Chrystes
sake. ye I thynke all thynges but losse for the
excellencye of the knowledge of Chryst Iesu
my Lorde. For whom I haue counted all
thynge losse, and do iudge th&ebar; but vyle, that
I maye wynne Chryst, and be founde in him
not hauynge myne awne ryghtewesnes of
the lawe: but that which is thorow the fayth
of Chryst: euen the ryghtewesnes which c&obar;meth
of God thorowe fayth: that I maye
knowe hym and the vertue of hys resurrecyon,
and the fellowshyppe of hys passyons,
whyle I am conformable vnto hys (deeth)
yf by eny meanes I myght attayne vnto the
resurreccyon of the deed.
-- --
C Not that I haue attayned vnto it all ready,
or that I am all ready perfecte: but I folowe,
yf that I maye c&obar;prehende that, wherin
I am compreh&ebar;ded of Chryst Iesu. Brethren,
I counte not my selfe that I haue gotten
it as yet, but this one thynge I saye: I forget
those thinges which are behinde, ∧ endeuoure
my selfe vnto those thinges which are
before, and (accordinge to the marke apoynted)
I preace to the rewarde of the hye callynge
of God thorowe Chryst Iesu. Let vs
therfore as many as be perfect, be thus wyse
mynded, and yf ye be other wyse mynded,
God shall open the same also vnto you. Neuerthelesse
vnto that which we haue attayned
vnto, lett vs proceade by one rule, that
we maye be of one accorde.
D &cross2; note Brethren, be folowers together of
me, and loke on them which walke euen so,
as ye haue vs for an ensample. For many
walke (of whom I haue tolde you often and
nowe tell you wepynge) that they are þe; enemies
of þe; crosse of Christ, note whose ende is d&abar;nacion,
whose God is theyr belly and glory
to theyr shame, which are worldely mynded.
But oure conuersacyon is in heauen, fr&obar;
whence we loke for the saueoure, euen þe; Lorde
Iesus Chryst, which shall note chaunge oure
vyle bodie, that he maye make it lyke vnto
hys glorious body, accordynge to the workynge,
wherby he is able also to subdue all
thynges vnto him selfe. &cross3;
