¶ The .iiij. Chapter.
¶ He exhorteth men to ceasse from synne, and no man
to suffre as an euell doer, but as a Christen man.
A For as moch then as Christ hath
suffred for vs in the flesshe, arme
ye youre selues lykewyse with the
same mynde: for he whych suffereth
in the flesshe, ceaseth from synne that he
hence forwarde shulde lyue (as moch tyme
as remayneth in the flesshe) not after the lustes
of men, but after the wyll of God. For
it is sufficyent for vs, that we haue spent the
tyme that is past of the lyfe, after the wyll
of the note Gentyls, walkynge in wantannes,
lustes, in excesse of wynes, in excesse of eatynge,
in excesse of drinkynge (in dronkenesse)
and in abomynable ydolatrie.
B And it semeth to th&ebar; an inconueni&ebar;t thynge,
that ye runne not also with them vnto þe;
same excesse of ryote, ∧ therfore speake they
euyll of you, whych shall geue acomptes to
him, that is ready to iudge quicke and deed.
For vnto thys purpose verely was þe; Gospell
preached also vnto the deed, that they
shuld be iudged lyke other men in the flesshe,
but shuld lyue before God in the sprete. The
ende of al thinges is at hande.
&cross2; Be ye therfore sober, and watch vnto
prayer. But aboue all thynges haue feru&ebar;t
loue among your selues. For loue shall couer
the multitude of synnes. noteBe ye herberous
one to another, note wythout grudgynge. As
euery man hath receaued the gyfte, euen so
mynister the same one to another, as good
mynisters of the manyfolde grace of God.
C If eny man speake, let him talke as the wordes
of God. noteIf eny man mynister, let him
do it as note of the abylite, whych God mynystreth
vnto hym. That God in all thynges
maye be glorifyed thorow Iesus Christ, &cross3;
to whom be prayse and dominion for euer
and euer. Amen.
Dearly beloued, maruayll not that ye are
proued by fyre (whych thyng is to trye you)
as though some stra&ubar;ge thing happened vnto
you: but reioyce, in as moch as ye are partakers
of Christes passyons: that when hys
glory appeareth, ye maye be mery and glad.
noteIf ye be rayled vpon for þe; name of Christ,
happie are ye. For the glory and the sprete
of God resteth vpon you. On their parte he
is euyll spoken of: but on youre parte he is
glorifyed.
D Se þt; none of you be punysshed as a murtherer,
or as a thefe, or an euyll doar, or as a
busybody in other mens matters. If eny m&abar;
suffre as a Christen m&abar;, let him not be ashamed:
but let h&ibar; glorifye God on this behalfe.
For the tyme is come, that iudgement must
begynne at the house of God. If it fyrst begynne
at vs, what shall the ende be of them,
whych beleue not the Gospell of God? And
note yf the ryghteous scarcely be saued: where
shall þe; vngodly &abar;d þe; synner appeare? Wherfore,
let th&ebar; þt; are troubled accordyng to the
wyll of God, c&obar;myt their soules to him with
well doynge, as vnto a faythfull creator.
