I haue fought a good fight, and haue finished my course: I haue kept the faith.

Paul a seruaunt of God, and an Apostle of Iesus Christ, according to the faith of Gods elect, and the acknowledging of the trueth, which is according vnto godlines,

To Titus my naturall sonne according to the common faith, Grace, mercie and peace from God the Father, and from the Lorde Iesus Christ our Sauiour.

This witnesse is true: wherefore conuince them sharply, that they may be sound in ye faith,

That the elder men be watchful, graue, teperate, sounde in the faith, in loue, & in patience:

All that are with mee, salute thee. Greete them that loue vs in the faith. Grace bee with you all, Amen. To Titus, elect the first bishoppe of the Church of the Cretians, written from Nicopolis in Macedonia.

(When I heare of thy loue & faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Iesus, and towarde all Saintes)

That the fellowship of thy faith may bee made effectuall, and that whatsoeuer good thing is in you through Christ Iesus, may be knowen.

For vnto vs was the Gospel preached as also vnto them: but the worde that they heard, profited not them, because it was not mixed with faith in those that heard it.

Therefore, leauing the doctrine of the beginning of Christ, let vs be led forward vnto perfection, not laying againe ye foundation of repetance fro dead workes, & of faith toward God,

That ye be not slouthfull, but followers of them, which through faith and patience, inherite the promises.

Let vs drawe neere with a true heart in assurance of faith, our hearts being pure from an euill conscience,

Nowe the iust shall liue by faith: but if any withdrawe himselfe, my soule shall haue no pleasure in him.

But we are not they which withdrawe our selues vnto perdition, but follow faith vnto the conseruation of the soule.

Nowe faith is the ground of things, which are hoped for, and the euidence of things which are not seene.

Through faith we vnderstand that the world was ordeined by the worde of God, so that the things which we see, are not made of things which did appeare.

By faith Abel offered vnto God a greater sacrifice then Cain, by the which he obtained witnes that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: by the which faith also he being dead, yet speaketh.

By faith was Enoch translated, that he should not see death: neither was he found: for God had translated him: for before he was translated, he was reported of, yt he had pleased God.

But without faith it is vnpossible to please him: for he that commeth to God, must beleeue that God is, and that he is a rewarder of them that seeke him.

By faith Noe being warned of God of the things which were as yet not seene, mooued with reuerence, prepared the Arke to the sauing of his housholde, through the which Arke hee condemned the world, and was made heire of the righteousnes, which is by faith.
