Farre aboue al principalitie, and power, and might, and domination, and euery Name, that is named, not in this world only, but also in that that is to come,

But God which is rich in mercie, through his great loue wherewith he loued vs,

But nowe in Christ Iesus, ye which once were farre off, are made neere by the blood of Christ.

Nowe therefore ye are no more strangers and forreiners: but citizens with the Saintes, and of the houshold of God,

But vnto euery one of vs is giuen grace, according to the measure of the gift of Christ.

(Nowe, in that hee ascended, what is it but that he had also descended first into the lowest partes of the earth?

But let vs folowe the truth in loue, and in all things, grow vp into him, which is the head, that is, Christ.

But yee haue not so learned Christ,

Bee angrie, but sinne not: let not the sunne goe downe vpon your wrath,

Let him that stole, steale no more: but let him rather labour, and worke with his handes the thing which is good, that hee may haue to giue vnto him that needeth.

Let no corrupt comunicatio proceed out of your mouths: but yt which is good, to ye vse of edifying, yt it may minister grace vnto the hearers.

But fornication, and all vncleannesse, or couetousnesse, let it not be once named among you, as it becommeth Saintes,

Neither filthinesse, neither foolish talking, neither iesting, which are things not comely, but rather giuing of thankes.

For ye were once darkenesse, but are nowe light in the Lord: walke as children of light,

And haue no fellowship with ye vnfruitfull works of darknes, but euen reproue them rather.

But all thinges when they are reproued of the light, are manifest: for it is light that maketh all things manifest.

Take heede therefore that yee walke circumspectly, not as fooles, but as wise,

Wherefore, be ye not vnwise, but vnderstand what the will of the Lord is.

And be not drunke with wine, wherein is excesse: but be fulfilled with the Spirit,

That hee might make it vnto him selfe a glorious Church, not hauing spot or wrinkle, or any such thing: but that it shoulde bee holy and without blame.
