I geue the charge before God, which quyckeneth all thinges, & before Iesu Christ, which vnder Pontius Pilate witnessed a good witnessynge,

Charge the which are riche in this worlde, that they be not proude, ner trust in the vncertayne riches, but in the lyuynge God (which geueth vs abundauntly all thinges to enioye them:)

Paul an Apostle of Iesus Christ, by the wyll of God, to preach the promes of ye life which is in Christ Iesu.

To my deare sonne Timotheus. Grace, mercy, and peace from God the father and from Christ Iesu oure LORDE.

I thanke God, whome I serue fro my fore elders in a pure conscience, that without ceassynge I make mencion of the in my prayers night and daye:

Wherfore I warne the, that thou stere vp ye gifte of God which is in the by puttynge on of my handes.

For God hath not geuen vs the sprete of feare, but of power, and of loue, and of right vnderstondynge.

Be not thou asshamed therfore of ye testimony of or LORDE, nether of me, which am his presoner: but suffre thou aduersite also wt the Gospell, acordinge to the power of God

where in I suffre as an euell doer euen vnto bandes: but the worde of God is not bounde.

Study to shewe thy selfe vnto God a laudable workman, that nedeth not to be ashamed, deuydynge the worde of trueth iustly.

But ye sure grounde of God stondeth fast, and hath this seale: The LORDE knoweth them that are his, and let euery ma that calleth vpon the name of Christ, departe from iniquyte.

the euell, one yt can with mekenesse enfourme them yt resist: yf God at eny tyme wyl geue them repentaunce for to knowe the trueth,

traytours, heady, hye mynded, gredy vpon voluptuousnes more then the louers of God,

For all scripture geue by inspiracion of God, is profitable to teach, to improue, to amende, and to instructe in righteousnes,

that a man off God maye be perfecte, and prepared vnto all good workes.

I testifye therfore before God & before the LORDE Iesu Christ, which shal come to iudge the lyuynge and the deed, at his appearynge in his kyngdome:

In my first answerynge no man assisted me, but all forsoke me. I praye God that it be not layed to their charges.

Pavl the seruaunt of God, and an Apostle off Iesus Christ, to preach the faith off Gods electe, and the knowlege of ye trueth, which ledeth vnto godlynes,

vpon the hope of eternall life: which God that can not lye hath promysed before the tymes of the worlde:

but at his tyme hath opened his worde thorow preachinge, which is commytted vnto me acordinge to the commaundemet of God oure Sauioure.
