as it is writun, For ther is no man iust;

For of the werkis of the lawe ech fleisch schal not be iustified bifor hym; for bi the lawe ther is knowyng of synne.

And the riytwisnesse of God is bi the feith of Jhesu Crist in to alle men and on alle men that bileuen in hym; for ther is no departyng.

For alle men synneden, and han nede to the glorie of God;

Whom God ordeynede foryyuer, bi feith in his blood, to the schewyng of his riytwisnesse, for remyssioun of biforgoynge synnes,

For we demen a man to be iustified bi the feith, with outen werkis of the lawe.

For `oon God is, that iustefieth circumcisioun bi feith, and prepucie bi feith.

For if Abraham is iustified of werkis of the lawe, he hath glorie, but not anentis God.

For what seith the scripture? Abraham bileued to God, and it was arettid to him to riytwisnesse.

Thanne whether dwellith this blisfulnesse oneli in circumcisioun, or also in prepucie? For we seien, that the feith was arettid to Abraham to riytwisnesse.

For not bi the lawe is biheest to Abraham, or to his seed, that he schulde be eir of the world, but bi the riytwisnesse of feith.

For if thei that ben of the lawe, ben eiris, feith is distried, biheest is don awey.

For the lawe worchith wraththe; for where is no lawe, there is no trespas, nethir is trespassyng.

As it is writun, For Y haue set thee fadir of many folkis, bifor God to whom thou hast bileued. Which God quykeneth deed men, and clepith tho thingis that ben not, as tho that ben.

And it is not writun oneli for him, that it was arettid to hym to riytwisnesse,

but also for vs, to whiche it schal be arettid, that bileuen in him that reiside oure Lord Jhesu Crist fro deeth.

Which was bitakun for oure synnes, and roos ayen for oure iustefiyng.

And hope confoundith not, for the charite of God is spred abrood in oure hertis bi the Hooli Goost, that is youun to vs.

And while that we weren sijk aftir the tyme, what diede Crist for wickid men?

For vnnethis dieth ony man for the iust man; and yit for a good man perauenture summan dar die.
