¶ The .vi. Chapter.
¶ The dutye of seruauntes towarde their masters.
Agaynst soch as are not satisfied with the
worde of God. Agaynst coueteousnes. A good lesson
for ryche men.
A Let as many note serua&ubar;tes as are vnder
the yoke, counte theyr masters
worthy of all honour, that þe; name
of God ∧ hys doctryne be not euyll
spoken of. Se that they whych haue beleuynge
masters, despyse th&ebar; not because they
are brethren: but rather do seruyce, for as
moch as they are beleuynge and beloued, ∧
partakers of the benefyte.
These thynges teach ∧ exhorte. noteIf eny
man folowe other doctrine, and enclyne not
vnto the wholsome wordes of oure Lorde
Iesu Christ, and to the doctrine which is accordynge
to Godlynes, he is pufte vp, and
knoweth nothynge: but wasteth hys braynes
about questi&obar;s and note stryfe, of wordes,
wherof sprynge enuye, stryfe, raylynges, euyll
surmisynges, vayne disputacyon of m&ebar;
that haue corrupte myndes, ∧ that are note robbed
of the trueth: which thynke, that lucre is
godlynes.
B From them that are soch separate
thy selfe. Godlynes is greate ryches note If a
man be content with that he hath. noteFor we
brought nothynge into the worlde, nether
maye we cary any thynge out.
But when we haue fode and rayment we
must ther with be content. They that wylbe
ryche, fall into temptacyon and snares, (of
the deuyll) ∧ into many folysshe ∧ noysome lustes,
which droune men into perdicyon ∧ destruccyon.
For coueteousnes of money is the
rote of all euyll: whych whyll some lusted after,
they erred from the fayth, ∧ tanglyd th&ebar;
selues with many sorowes. But thou man
of God, flye soch thynges.
C Folowe ryghtewesnes,
godlynes, fayth, loue, paci&ebar;ce, meaknes.
Fyght the good fyght of fayth. Laye,
hande on eternall lyfe, wher vnto thou art
also called, and hast professed a good professyon
before many witnesses.
I geue þe; charge in þe; syght of God, note which
quickneth all thynges, ∧ before Iesu Chryst
(which vnder Poncius Pylate wytnessed a
good witnessyng) þt; thou kepe þe; c&obar;maundem&ebar;t,
∧ be without spotte and vnrebukeable,
vntyll the appearynge of oure Lorde Iesus
Christ, note which appearyng (in hys tyme) he
shall shewe, that is blessed ∧ myghty onely,
kynge of kynges, ∧ Lorde of Lordes, whych
onely hath immortalite, and dwelleth in the
lyght that no man can attayne, note whom no
man hath sene, nether can se, vnto whom be
honoure and rule euerlastynge. Amen.
D Charge th&ebar; which are ryche in this world,
that they be not hye mynded, ner note trust in
vncertayne ryches, but in the lyuinge God
(which geueth vs abounda&ubar;tly all thynges
to enioye th&ebar;) that they do good: that they be
riche in good workes: that they be redy to geue
∧ gladly to distribute, note laying vp in store
for th&ebar; selues a good fundaci&obar; aga&ibar;st þe; tyme
to come, þt; they maye obtayne eternall lyfe.
O Timothe, saue that which is geuen the
to kepe, and avoyde vngostly vanyties of
voyces and opposycyons of science falsly so
called: whych science whyle some professed,
they erred as concernynge the fayth. Grace
be with the. Amen.
¶ Sent from Laodicea, which is
the chefest cytie of Phrigia.
