| 1 | Therfor thou, my sone, be coumfortid in grace that is in Crist Jhesu. |
| 2 | And what thingis thou hast herd of me bi many witnessis, bitake thou these to feithful men, whiche schulen `be also able to teche othere men. |
| 3 | Trauele thou as a good knyyt of Crist Jhesu. |
| 4 | No man holdinge knyythod to God, wlappith hym silf with worldli nedis, that he plese to hym, to whom he hath preuyd hym silf. |
| 5 | For he that fiytith in a batel, schal not be corowned, but he fiyte lawfuli. |
| 6 | It bihoueth an erthetiliere to resseyue first of the fruytis. |
| 7 | Vndurstonde thou what thingis Y seie. For the Lord schal yyue to thee vndurstonding in alle thingis. |
| 8 | Be thou myndeful that the Lord Jhesu Crist of the seed of Dauid hath rise ayen fro deth, |
| 9 | aftir my gospel, in which Y trauele `til to boondis, as worching yuele, but the word of God is not boundun. |
| 10 | Therfor Y suffre alle thingis for the chosun, that also thei gete the heelthe, that is in Crist Jhesu, with heuenli glorie. |
| 11 | A trewe word, that if we ben deed togidere, also we schulen liue togidere; |
| 12 | if we suffren, we schulen regne togidere; if we denyen, he schal denye vs; |
| 13 | if we bileuen not, he dwellith feithful, he mai not denye hym silf. |
| 14 | Teche thou these thingis, witnessinge bifore God. Nyle thou stryue in wordis; for to no thing it is profitable, but to the subuerting of men that heren. |
| 15 | Bisili kepe to yyue thi silf a preued preisable werkman to God, with oute schame, riytli tretinge the word of treuthe. |
| 16 | But eschewe thou vnhooli and veyn spechis, for whi tho profiten myche to vnfeithfulnesse, |
| 17 | and the word of hem crepith as a canker. Of whiche Filete is, and Ymeneus, |
| 18 | whiche felden doun fro the treuthe, seiynge that the rising ayen is now doon, and thei subuertiden the feith of summen. |
| 19 | But the sad foundement of God stondith, hauynge this marke, The Lord knowith whiche ben hise, and, Ech man that nameth the name of the Lord, departith fro wickidnesse. |
| 20 | But in a greet hous ben not oneli vessels of gold and of siluer, but also of tree and of erthe; and so summen ben in to onour, and summe in to dispit. |
| 21 | Therfor if ony man clensith hym silf fro these, he schal be a vessel halewid in to onour, and profitable to the Lord, redi to al good werk. |
| 22 | And fle thou desiris of yongthe, but sue thou riytwisnesse, feith, charite, pees, with hem that inwardli clepen the Lord of a clene herte. |
| 23 | And eschewe thou foltische questiouns, and without kunnyng, wytynge that tho gendren chidyngis. |
| 24 | But it bihoueth the seruaunt of the Lord to chide not; but to be mylde to alle men, able to teche, |
| 25 | paciente, with temperaunce repreuynge hem that ayenstonden the treuthe, that sum tyme God yyue to hem forthenkyng, that thei knowen the treuthe, |
| 26 | and that thei rise ayen fro the snares of the deuel, of whom thei ben holdun prisoneris at his wille. |
