¹But we helping you in work and word admonish you, that ye receive not the grace of God in vain.

²For he saith, In time well-pleasing I have heard thee, and in the day of health, I have helped thee. Lo! now a time acceptable, lo! now a day of health.

³Give we to no man any offence, or hurting, that our service or ministry be not reproved;

⁴but in all things give we us-selves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in tribulations, in needs, in anguishes,

⁵in beatings, or scourgings, in prisons, in dissensions within, in travails, in wakings, in fastings,

⁶in chastity, in knowing or in science, in long abiding, in sweetness, in the Holy Ghost, in charity not feigned,

⁷in the word of truth, in the virtue of God; by armours or arms of rightwiseness on the right half and on the left half;

⁸by glory and unnobleness; by evil fame and good fame; as deceivers, and true men;

⁹as they that be unknown and known; as men dying, and lo! we live; as chastised, and not made dead;

¹⁰as sorrowful, and evermore joying or but evermore joying; as having need, but making many men rich; as nothing having, and wielding all things.

¹¹A! ye Corinthians, our mouth is open to you, our heart is alarged;

¹²ye be not anguished in us, but ye be anguished in your inwardnesses or in your entrails.

¹³And I say as to sons, ye that have the same reward, be ye alarged.

¹⁴Do not ye bear the yoke with unfaithful men. For what parting, or communing, of rightwiseness with wickedness? or what fellowship of light to darknesses?

¹⁵and what according of Christ to Belial? or what part of a faithful man with the unfaithful, or heathen?

¹⁶and what consent to the temple of God with maumets? or idols? And ye be the temple of the living God, as the Lord saith, For I shall dwell in them, and I shall walk among them; and I shall be the God of them, and they shall be a people to me.

¹⁷For which thing go ye out of the middle of them, and be ye separated, saith the Lord, and touch not unclean thing; and I shall receive you,

¹⁸and I shall be to you into a Father, and ye shall be to me into sons and daughters, saith the Lord almighty.
