Galatians · Chapter 6

[ edit] Briþeren, and if a man be bifore occupied, or ouercomen, in ony gilt, or treſpas, ȝe þat ben ſpiritual, teche ſiche a maner man in ſpirit of ſoftneſſe, or mekeneſſe, biholdinge þi ſilf, þat and þou be not temptid. Bere ȝe chargis þe toþir of þe toþir, and ſo ȝe ſchulen fulfille þe lawe of Criſt. Forwhi if ony man geſſiþ him ſilf for to be ouȝt, whanne he is noȝt, he diſceyueþ him ſilf. Forſoþ ech man proue his owne werk, and ſo he ſchal haue glorie oonly in hym ſilf, and not in an oþir. Forſoþ ech man ſchal bere his owne charge. Forſoþ he þat is tauȝt by word, comune to him þat techiþ him, in alle good þingis.

Nyle ȝe erre, God is not ſcornyd; forſoþe what þingis a man ſchal ſowe, and þes þinges he ſchal repe. For he þat ſowiþ in his fleiſch, and of þe fleiſch he ſchal repe corupcioun; forſoþ he þat ſowiþ in ſpirit, of þe ſpirit ſchal repe euerlaſtyng lyf. Forſoþ we doynge good, fayle not; ſoþli in his tyme we ſchulen repe, not faylinge. Þerfore þe while we han tyme, worche we good to alle men; forſoþ mooſt to þe houſhold meyne of þe feiþ. Se ȝe, wiþ what maner lettris I haue writun to ȝou by myn hond. Soþli who euere wolen pleſe in fleiſch, þes conſtreynen ȝou for to be circumſidid, oonly þat þei ſuffre not þe perſecucioun of Criſtis croſſ.

Forſoþ neiþer þei þat ben circumſidid kepen þe lawe; but þei wolen ȝou for to be circumſidid, þat þei glorie in ȝoure fleiſch. Forſoþ be it ferr to me for to glorie, no but in þe croſſ of oure Lord Jheſu Criſt, by whom þe world is crucified to me, and I to þe world. Forſoþe in Criſt Jheſu neþir circumciſioun is ouȝt worþ, neþer prepucie, þat is, maner of heþen men, but a newe creature. And who euere ſchulen ſuwe þis rewle, pees vpon hem, and mercy, and vpon Iſrael of God. Fro hennis forþ no man be heuy to me; forſoþ I bere in my body þe tokenis of oure Lord Jheſu Criſt. Þe grace of oure Lord Jheſu Criſt wiþ ȝoure ſpirit, briþeren. Amen.

Heere endiþ þe piſtle to Galaþies, and heere bigynneþ epiſtle to Epheſians.
