2 Corinthians 10:2

Bishops' Bible (1568)

These are contrary one to the other, so that ye can not do what ye woulde. 18 But and yf ye be ledde of the spirite, then are ye not vnder the lawe. 19 The deedes of the flesshe are manifest, which are these, adulterie, fornication, vncleannesse, wantonnesse, 20 Worshippyng of images, witchcrafte, hatred, variaunce, zeale, wrath, strife, seditions, sectes, 21 Enuyinges, murthers, drunkennesse, gluttonies, and such lyke: of the whiche I tell you before, as I haue tolde you in tyme past, that they which do suche thinges, shall not inherite the kingdome of God. 22 But the fruite of the spirite is, loue, ioye, peace, long sufferyng, gentlenesse, goodnesse, fayth, 23 Mekenesse, temperauncie: agaynst such there is no lawe. 24 They truely that are Christes, haue crucified the flesshe, with the affections and lustes. 25 Yf we lyue in ye spirite, let vs walke in the spirite.
