Romans 15:3-18

³For Christ pleased not him selfe: but as it is written. The rebukes of the which rebuked the fell one me.

⁴Whatsoever thinges are written afore tyme are written for oure learnynge that we thorow pacience and comforte of the scripture myght have hope.

⁵The God of pacience and consolacion geve vnto every one of you that ye be lyke mynded one towardes another after the insample of Christ:

⁶that ye all agreynge together maye with one mouth prayse God the father of oure Lorde Iesus.

⁷Wherfore receave ye one another as Christ receaved vs to the prayse of God.

⁸And I saye that Iesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the trueth of god to conferme the promyses made vnto the fathers.

⁹And let the gentyls prayse god for his mercy as it is written: For this cause I will prayse the amonge the gentyls and synge in thy name.

¹⁰And agayne, he sayth: reioyse ye gentyles with his people.

¹¹And agayne, prayse the Lorde all ye gentyls and laude him all nacions.

¹²And in another place Esaias sayth: ther shalbe the rote of Iesse and he that shall ryse to raygne over the gentyls: in him shall the gentyls trust.

¹³The God of hope fyll you with all ioye and peace in belevynge: that ye maye be ryche in hope thorowe the power of the holy goost.

¹⁴I my selfe am full certified of you my brethren that ye youre selves are full of goodnes and filled with all knowledge and are able to exhorte one another.

¹⁵Neverthelesse brethren I have some what boldly written vnto you as one that putteth you in remembraunce thorow the grace that is geven me of God

¹⁶that I shuld be the minister of Iesu Christ amonge the gentyls and shuld minister the gladde tydynges of God that the gentyls myght be an acceptable offerynge sanctyfied by the holy goost.

¹⁷I have therfore wherof I maye reioyse in Christ Iesu in tho thinges which pertayne to God.

¹⁸For I dare not speake of eny of tho thinges which Christ hath not wrought by me to make the gentyls obedient with worde and dede
