1But we helpynge monesten, that ye resseyuen not the grace of God in veyn. 2For he seith, In tyme wel plesinge Y haue herd thee, and in the dai of heelthe Y haue helpid thee. Lo! now a tyme acceptable, lo! now a dai of heelthe. 3Yyue we to no man ony offencioun, that oure seruyce be not repreued; 4but in alle thingis yyue we vs silf as the mynystris of God, in myche pacience, in tribulaciouns, 5in nedis, in angwischis, in betyngis, in prisouns, in dissensiouns with ynne, in trauels, in wakyngis, in fastyngis, 6in chastite, in kunnyng, in long abiding, in swetnesse, in the Hooli Goost, 7in charite not feined, in the word of treuthe, in the vertu of God; bi armeris of riytwisnesse on the riythalf and on the lefthalf; 8bi glorie and vnnoblei; bi yuel fame and good fame; as disseyueris, and trewe men; as thei that ben vnknowun, and knowun; 9as men diynge, and lo! we lyuen; as chastisid, and not maad deed; 10as sorewful, euere more ioiynge; as hauynge nede, but makynge many men riche; as no thing hauynge, and weldynge alle thingis. 11A! ye Corynthies, oure mouth is open to you, oure herte is alargid; 12ye ben not angwischid in vs, but ye ben anguischid in youre inwardnessis. 13And Y seie as to sones, ye that han the same reward, be ye alargid. 14Nyle ye bere the yok with vnfeithful men. For what parting of riytwisnes with wickidnesse? or what felouschipe of liyt to derknessis? 15and what acording of Crist to Belial? or what part of a feithful with the vnfeithful? 16and what consent to the temple of God with mawmetis? And ye ben the temple of the lyuynge God, as the Lord seith, For Y schal dwelle in hem, and Y schal walke among hem; and Y schal be God of hem, and thei schulen be a puple to me. 17For which thing go ye out of the myddil of hem, and be ye departid, seith the Lord, and touche ye not vnclene thing; 18and Y schal resseyue you, and schal be to you in to a fadir, and ye schulen be to me in to sones and douytris, seith the Lord almyyti.
