- 1 Thou therfore my sonne, be stronge thorow the grace which is in Christ Iesu.

- 5 And though a man stryue for a mastrye, yet is he not crowned, excepte he stryue laufully.
- 6 The hussbandman that laboureth, must first enioye the frutes.
- 7 Consydre what I saye. The LORDE shal geue the vnderstondynge in all thinges.
- 8 Remembre that Iesus Christ, beynge of the sede of Dauid, rose agayne fro the deed, acordynge to my Gospell,
- 9 where in I suffre as an euell doer euen vnto bandes: but the worde of God is not bounde.

- 11 This is a true sayenge: Yf we be deed wt him, we shal lyue with him also:
- 12 Yf we be pacient, we shal also raigne with him: Yf we denye him, he also shal denye vs:

- 14 Of these thinges put thou them in remebraunce, and testifye before the LORDE, that they stryue not aboute wordes, which is to no profit, but to peruerte the hearers.
- 15 Study to shewe thy selfe vnto God a laudable workman, that nedeth not to be ashamed, deuydynge the worde of trueth iustly.
- 16 As for vngoostly and vayne talkynges, eschue them: for they helpe moch to vngodlynes,
- 17 and their worde fretteth as doth a canker: Of whose nombre is Hymeneos & Philetus,
- 18 which as concernynge the trueth haue erred, sayenge, that the resurreccion is past allready, and haue destroyed the faith of dyuerse personnes.
- 19 But ye sure grounde of God stondeth fast, and hath this seale: The LORDE knoweth them that are his, and let euery ma that calleth vpon the name of Christ, departe from iniquyte.
- 20 Not withstondynge in a greate house are not onely vessels of golde and of syluer, but also of wod and of earth: some for honoure, and some to dishonoure.

- 22 Fle thou the lustes of youth, but folowe righteousnes, faith, loue, peace, with all them that call vpon the LORDE with pure hert.
- 23 As for folish questions and soch as teach not, put them fro the: for thou knowest that they do but geder stryfe.
- 24 The seruaunt of the LORDE ought not to stryue, but to be gentle vnto euery man: apte to teach, one that can forbeare
- 25 the euell, one yt can with mekenesse enfourme them yt resist: yf God at eny tyme wyl geue them repentaunce for to knowe the trueth,
- 26 and to turne agayne from the snare of the deuell, which are holden in preson of him at his will.
