But they that are spirituall are gostly mynded. 6 To be carnally mynded is deeth. But to be spiritually mynded is lyfe and peace. 7 Because that the flesshly mynde is emnyte agaynst God: for it is not obedient to the lawe of God nether can be. 8 So then they yt are geven to the flesshe canot please God. 9 But ye are not geven to the flesshe but to the sprete: yf so be that ye sprite of God dwell in you. If ther be eny man yt hath not ye sprite of Christ ye same is none of his. 10 Yf Christ be in you the body is deed because of synne: but the sprite is lyfe for rightewesnes sake. 11 Wherfore if the sprite of him that raysed vppe Iesus fro deeth dwell in you: even he that raysed vp Christ from deeth shall quycken youre mortall bodyes because that this sprite dwelleth in you. 12 Therfore brethren we are nowe detters not to the flesshe to live after the flesshe. 13 For if ye live after the flesshe ye must dye. But yf ye mortifie the dedes of the body by the helpe of the sprite ye shall lyve. 14 For as many as are led by the sprete of God: they are the sonnes of god. 15 For ye have no receaved the sprete of bondage to feare eny moare but ye have receaved the sprite of adopcion wherby we crye Abba father. 16 The same sprete certifieth oure sprete yt we are the sonnes of God. 17 Yf we be sonnes we are also heyres the heyres I meane of God and heyres anexed with Christ: if so be that we suffer togedder that we maye be glorified to gedder. 18 For I suppose that the affliccions of this lyfe are not worthy of the glory which shalbe shewed vpon vs. 19 Also the fervent desyre of the creatures abideth lokynge when the sonnes of God shall appere 20 because the creatures are subdued to vanyte agaynst their will: but for his will which subdueth them in hope. 21 For ye very creatures shalbe delivered from the bondage of corrupcion into the glorious lybertie of the sonnes of God. 22 For we knowe that every creature groneth with vs also and travayleth in payne even vnto this tyme. 23 Not they only but even we also which have the fyrst frutes of the sprite morne in oureselves and wayte for the (adopcio) and loke for the delivraunce of oure bodyes. 24 For we are savyd by hope. But hope that is sene is no hope. For how can a ma hope for that which he seyth? 25 But and yf we hope for that we se not then do we with pacience abyde for it. 26 Lyke wyse ye sprite also helpeth oure infirmities. For we knowe not what to desyre as we ought: but the sprete maketh intercession mightely for vs with gronynges which canot be expressid with tonge. 27 And he that searcheth the hertes knoweth what is ye meaninge of the sprite: for he maketh intercession for the sayntes accordinge to ye pleasure of god. 28 For we knowe that all thinges worke for the best vnto them yt love God which also are called of purpose. 29 For those which he knewe before he also ordeyned before yt they shuld be lyke fassioned vnto the shape of his sonne that he myght be ye fyrst begotten sonne amoge many brethren. 30 Morover which he apoynted before them he also called. And which he called them also he iustified which he iustified them he also glorified. 31 What shall we then saye vnto these thinges? yf god be on oure syde: who can be agaynst vs? 32 which spared not his awne sonne but gave him for vs all: how shall he not wt him geve vs all thinges also? 33 Who shall laye eny thinge to ye charge of goddes chosen? it is god that iustifieth: 34 who then shall condempne? it is Christ which is deed ye rather which is rysen agayne which is also on the ryght honde of God and maketh intercession for vs. 35 Who shall seperate vs fro the love of god? shall tribulacion? or anguysshe? or persecucion? other honger? other nakednesse? other parell? other swearde? 36 As it is written: For thy sake are we kylled all daye longe and are counted as shepe apoynted to be slayne. 37 Neverthelesse in all these thinges we overcome strongly thorow his helpe that loved vs. 38 Ye and I am sure that nether deeth nether lyfe nether angels nor rule nether power nether thinges present nether thinges to come 39 nether heyth nether loweth nether eny other creature shalbe able to departe vs fro ye love of God shewed in Christ Iesu oure LORde.
• 1 Cor 15:1-9 : 1 Brethren as pertayninge to the gospell which I preached vnto you which ye have also accepted and in the which ye continue 2 by which also ye are saved: I do you to wit after what maner I preached vnto you yf ye kepe it except ye have beleved in vayne. 3 For fyrst of all I delivered vnto you that which I receaved: how that Christ dyed for oure synnes agreinge to the scriptures: 4 and that he was buried and that he arose agayne the thyrd daye accordinge to the scriptures: 5 and that he he was sene of Cephas then of the twelve. 6 After that he was sene of moo the five hodred brethren at once: of which many remayne vnto this daye and many are fallen aslepe. 7 After that appered he to Iames then to all the Apostles. 8 And last of all he was sene of me as of one that was borne out of due tyme. 9 For I am the lest of all the Apostles which am not worthy to be called an Apostle because I persecuted the congregacion of God. 10 But by the grace of God I am that I am. And his grace which is in me was not in vayne: but I labored moare aboundauntly then they all not I but the grace of God which is with me. 11 Whether it were I or they so we preache and so have ye beleved. 12 If Christ be preached how that he rose fro deeth: how saye some that are amoge you that ther is no resurreccion from deeth? 13 If ther be no rysynge agayne from deeth: then is Christ not rysen. 14 If Christ be not rysen then is oure preachinge vayne and youre faith is also in vayne. 15 Ye and we are founde falce witnesses of God. For we have testifyed of God how that he raysyd vp Christ whom he raysyd not vp yf it be so that the deed ryse not vp agayne. 16 For yf the deed ryse not agayne then is Christ not rysen agayne. 17 If it be so yt Christ rose not then is youre fayth in vayne and yet are ye in youre synnes. 18 And therto they which are fallen a slepe in Christ are perished. 19 If in this lyfe only we beleve on christ then are we of all men the miserablest. 20 But now is Christ rysen from deeth and is become the fyrst frutes of them that slept. 21 For by a man came deeth and by a man came resurreccion fro deeth. 22 For as by Adam all dye: eve so by Christ shall all be made alive 23 and every man in his awne order. The fyrst is Christ then they yt are Christis at his commynge. 24 Then cometh the ende when he hath delivered vp ye kyngdome to God ye father when he hath put doune all rule auctorite and power. 25 For he must raygne tyll he have put all his enemyes vnder his fete. 26 The last enemye that shalbe destroyed is deeth. 27 For he hath put all thinges vnder his fete. But when he sayth all thinges are put vnder him it is manyfest that he is excepted which dyd put all thinges vnder him. 28 When all thinges are subdued vnto him: then shall the sonne also him selfe be subiecte vnto him that put all thinges vnder him yt God maye be all in all thinges. 29 Ether els what do they which are baptised over ye deed yf the deed ryse not at all? Why are they then baptised over the deed? 30 Ye and why stonde we in ieoperdy every houre? 31 By oure reioysinge which I have in Christ Iesu oure Lorde I dye dayly. 32 That I have fought with beastes at Ephesus after the maner of men what avautageth it me yf the deed ryse not agayne? Let vs eate and drynke to morowe we shall dye. 33 Be not deceaved: malicious speakinges corrupte good maners. 34 Awake truely out of slepe and synne not. For some have not the knowlege of God. I speake this vnto youre rebuke. 35 But some ma will saye: how aryse ye deed? with what bodyes come they in? 36 Thou fole that which thou sowest is not quickened except it dye. 37 And what sowest thow? Thow sowest not that body that shalbe: but bare corne (I meane ether of wheet or of some other) 38 and God geveth it a body at his pleasure to every seed a severall body. 39 All flesshe is not one manner of flesshe: but ther is one maner flesshe of men another maner flesshe of beastes another maner flesshe of fysshes and another of byrdes. 40 Ther are celestiall bodyes and ther are bodyes terrestriall. But ye glory of ye celestiall is one and ye glory of the terrestriall is another. 41 Ther is one maner glory of the sonne and another glory of the mone and another glory of the starres. For one starre differth fro another in glory. 42 So is the resurreccio of ye deed. It is sowe in corrupcio and ryseth in incorrupcion. 43 It is sowen in dishonoure and ryseth in honoure. It is sowe in weaknes and ryseth in power. It is sowne a naturall body and ryseth a spretuall body. 44 Ther is a naturall bodye and ther is a spretuall body: 45 as it is written: the fyrste man Adam was made a livinge soule: and ye last Ada was made a quickeninge sprete. 46 How be it yt is not fyrst which is spirituall: but yt which is naturall and then yt which is spretuall. 47 The fyrst ma is of the erth erthy: the seconde man is ye Lorde fro heave. 48 As is the erthy soche are they that are erthye. And as is the hevely soche are they yt are hevenly. 49 And as we have borne the ymage of the erthy so shall we beare the ymage of the hevenly. 50 This saye I brethren that flesshe and bloud canot inheret the kyngdome of God. Nether corrupcion inhereth vncorrupcion. 51 Beholde I shewe you a mystery. We shall not all slepe: but we shall all be chaunged 52 and that in a moment and in the twinclinge of an eye at the sounde of the last trompe. For the trompe shall blowe and ye deed shall ryse incorruptible and we shalbe chaunged. 53 For this corruptible must put on incorruptibilite: and this mortall must put on immortalite. 54 When this corruptible hath put on incorruptibilite and this mortall hath put on immortalite: then shalbe brought to passe ye sayinge yt is writte. Deeth is consumed in to victory. 55 Deeth where is thy stynge? Hell where is thy victory? 56 The stynge of deeth is synne: and the strength of synne is the lawe. 57 But thankes be vnto God which hath geven vs victory thorow oure Lorde Iesus Christ. 58 Therfore my deare brethren be ye stedfast and unmovable alwayes ryche in the workes of the Lorde for as moch as ye knowe how yt youre labour is not in vayne in the Lorde.
