For the repairing of the Saintes, for the woorke of the ministerie, and for the edification of the bodie of Christ,

By whome al the body being coupled and knit together by euery ioynt, for ye furniture therof (according to the effectual power, which is in the measure of euery part) receiueth increase of the body, vnto the edifying of itselfe in loue.

Wherefore cast off lying, and speake euery man truth vnto his neighbour: for we are members one of another.

Be ye courteous one to another, & tender hearted, freely forgiuing one another, euen as God for Christes sake, freely forgaue you.

And walke in loue, euen as Christ hath loued vs, and hath giuen himselfe for vs, to be an offering and a sacrifice of a sweete smelling sauour to God.

Let no man deceiue you wt vaine wordes: for, for such thinges commeth the wrath of God vpon the children of disobedience.

For ye were once darkenesse, but are nowe light in the Lord: walke as children of light,

(For the fruit of the Spirit is in al goodnes, and righteousnes, and trueth)

But all thinges when they are reproued of the light, are manifest: for it is light that maketh all things manifest.

Redeeming ye season: for ye daies are euill.

Giuing thankes alwaies for all thinges vnto God euen the Father, in the Name of our Lorde Iesus Christ,

Husbands, loue your wiues, euen as Christ loued the Church, & gaue himselfe for it,

For no man euer yet hated his owne flesh, but nourisheth and cherisheth it, euen as the Lord doeth the Church.

For we are members of his bodie, of his flesh, and of his bones.

For this cause shal a man leaue father and mother, and shall cleaue to his wife, and they twaine shalbe one flesh.

Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, and against the worldly gouernours, the princes of the darkenesse of this worlde, against spirituall wickednesses, which are in ye hie places.
