Therefore euery one of you, doe ye so: let euery one loue his wife, euen as himselfe, and let the wife see that shee feare her husband.

Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.

For vnto you it is giuen for Christ, that not onely ye should beleeue in him, but also suffer for his sake,

Looke not euery man on his owne things, but euery man also on the things of other men.

For it is God which worketh in you, both the will and the deede, euen of his good pleasure.

Because that for the woorke of Christ he was neere vnto death, and regarded not his life, to fulfill that seruice which was lacking on your part towarde me.

That I may know him, and the vertue of his resurrection, & the fellowship of his afflictions, and be made conformable vnto his death,

Who shall change our vile bodie, yt it may be fashioned like vnto his glorious body, according to the working, whereby hee is able euen to subdue all things vnto him selfe.

And my God shall fulfill all your necessities through his riches with glorie in Iesus Christ.

In that body of his flesh through death, to make you holy, and vnblameable and without fault in his sight,

Now reioyce I in my suffrings for you, and fulfill the rest of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh, for his bodies sake, which is the Church,

Which is the mysterie hid since the world began, and from all ages, but nowe is made manifest to his Saintes,

To whome God woulde make knowen what is the riches of his glorious mysterie among the Gentiles, which riches is Christ in you, the hope of glory,

Whereunto I also labour & striue, according to his working which worketh in me mightily.

Let no man at his pleasure beare rule ouer you by humblenesse of minde, and worshipping of Angels, aduauncing himselfe in those thinges which hee neuer sawe, rashly puft vp with his fleshly minde,
