These are contrary one to the other, so that ye can not do that which ye wolde: 18 But and yf ye be led of the sprete, then are ye not vnder the lawe. 19 The dedes of ye flesh are manifest, which are these: Aduoutrye, whordome, vnclenes, wantanes, 20 Idolatrye, witchcraft, hatred, variaunce, zele, wrath, stryfe, sedicion, sectes, 21 envyenge, murthur, dronkennes, glotony, and soch like: of the which I tell you before, as I haue tolde you in tyme past, that they which commytte soch, shal not inheret the kyngdome of God. 22 But the frute of the sprete, is loue, ioye, peace, longe sufferinge, getlenes, goodnesse, faithfulnes, 23 mekenesse, teperaunce, Agaynst soch is not ye lawe: 24 But they that are Christes, haue crucified their flesh, with the lustes and desyres. 25 Yf we lyue in the sprete, let vs walke also in the sprete.

For I seke not youres, but you. For ye childre ought not to gather treasure for the elders, but the elders for the children. 15 I wil very gladly bestowe, and wyl be bestowed for youre soules: though ye more I loue you, the lesse am I loued agayne. 16 But let it be so that I greued you not, neuertheles for so moch as I was craftye, I toke you wt gyle. 17 Haue I defrauded you by eny of the, who I sent vnto you? 18 I desyred Titus, & with him I sent a brother: dyd Titus defraude you?
