For thouy Y be absent in bodi, bi spirit Y am with you, ioiynge and seynge youre ordre and the sadnesse of youre bileue that is in Crist.

For in hym dwellith bodilich al the fulnesse of the Godhed.

or of sabatis, whiche ben schadewe of thingis to comynge; for the bodi is of Crist.

For if ye ben deed with Crist fro the elementis of this world, what yit as men lyuynge to the world demen ye?

For ye ben deed, and youre lijf is hid with Crist in God.

For whanne Crist schal appere, youre lijf, thanne also ye schulen appere with hym in glorie.

for whiche thingis the wraththe of God cam on the sones of vnbileue;

Sones, obeie ye to youre fadir and modir bi alle thingis; for this is wel plesinge in the Lord.

For he that doith iniurie, schal resseyue that that he dide yuele; and acceptacioun of persoones is not anentis God.

and preie ech for othere, and for vs, that God opene to vs the dore of word, to speke the misterie of Crist;

for which also Y am boundun, that Y schewe it, so as it bihoueth me to speke.

Epafras, that is of you, the seruaunt of Jhesu Crist, gretith you wel; euere bisi for you in preyeris, that ye stonde perfit and ful in al the wille of God.

And Y bere witnessyng to hym, that he hath myche trauel for you, and for hem that ben at Loadice, and that ben at Ierapolim.

and in the Lord Jhesu Crist, grace and pees to you. We doon thankyngis to God euere more for alle you, and we maken mynde of you in oure preyeris withouten ceessyng;

for oure gospel was not at you in word oneli, but also in vertu, and in the Hooli Goost, and in myche plente; as ye witen, whiche we weren among you for you;

For of you the word of the Lord is pupplischid, not oneli in Macedonye and Acaie, but youre feith that is to God, in ech place is gon forth; so that it is not nede to vs to speke ony thing.

For thei schewen of you, what maner entre we hadden to you, and hou ye ben conuertid to God fro maumettis, to serue to the lyuynge God and veri; and to abide his sone fro heuenes,

For, britheren, ye witen oure entre to you, for it was not veyn;

For nether we weren ony tyme in word of glosing, as ye witen, nether in occasioun of auerise; God is witnesse; nether sekinge glorie of men,

so we desiringe you with greet loue, wolden haue bitake to you, not oneli the gospel of God, but also oure lyues, for ye ben maad most dereworthe to vs.
