[1]Nowe come I the third time vnto you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall euery worde be stablisshed
[2]I tolde you before, and tell you before, as though I had ben present with you the seconde tyme, so write I nowe beyng absent, to them which in time past haue sinned, and to all other, that yf I come agayne, I wyll not spare
[3]Seyng yt ye seeke experience of Christe which speaketh in me, which to you ward is not weake, but is mighty in you
[4]For though he was crucified of weakenesse, yet liueth he of the power of God. And we no doubt, are weake in hym: but we shall lyue with hym, by ye might of God towarde you
[5]Examine your selues, whether ye are in the fayth: Proue your owne selues. Knowe ye not your owne selues, howe that Iesus Christe is in you? except ye be reprobates
[6]I trust ye shal knowe that we are not reprobates
[7]Truely I pray to God that ye do none euyll, not that we shoulde seeme approued: but yt ye shoulde do that which is honest, though we be as reprobates
[8]For we can do nothyng agaynst the trueth: but for the trueth
[9]For we are glad when we are weake, and ye are strong. Truely this also we wishe, euen your perfection
[10]Therfore write I these thynges beyng absent, lest when I am present, I should vse sharpenesse, accordyng to the power which the Lorde hath geuen me to edification, and not to destruction
[11]Finally brethren, fare well, be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mynde, lyue in peace, and the God of loue and peace shalbe with you
[13]{ (13:12) Greete one another in an holy kisse}
[14]{ (13:13) All the saintes salute you} { The grace of our Lorde Iesus Christ, and the loue of God, and the comunion of the holy ghost, be with you all. Amen}
