The Gospel to the Gentiles Affirmed by the Apostles

¹Then fourteene yeeres after, I went vp againe to Ierusalem with Barnabas, and tooke Titus with me also.

²And I went vp by reuelation, and communicated vnto them that Gospel, which I preach among the Gentiles, but priuately to them which were of reputation, lest by any meanes I should runne, or had runne in vaine.

³But neither Titus, who was with me, being a Greeke, was compelled to be circumcised:

⁴And that because of false brethren vnawares brought in, who came in priuily to spie out our libertie, which wee haue in Christ Iesus, that they might bring vs into bondage.

⁵To whom wee gaue place by subiection, no not for an houre, that the trueth of the Gospel might continue with you.

⁶But of these, who seemed to bee somewhat, (whatsoeuer they were, it maketh no matter to mee, God accepteth no mans person,) for they who seemed to be somewhat, in conference added nothing to me.

⁷But contrariwise, when they saw that the Gospel of the vncircumcision was committed vnto me, as the Gospel of the circumcision was vnto Peter:

⁸(For he that wrought effectually in Peter to the Apostleship of the circumcision, the same was mightie in me towards the Gentiles.)

⁹And when Iames, Cephas and Iohn, who seemed to bee pillars, perceiued the grace that was giuen vnto me, they gaue to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship, that wee should goe vnto the heathen, and they vnto the circumcision.

¹⁰Onely they would that wee should remember the poore, the same which I also was forward to doe.

Paul Rebukes Peter at Antioch

¹¹But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed.

¹²For before that certaine came from Iames, he did eate with the Gentiles: but when they were come, hee withdrew, and separated himselfe, fearing them which were of the Circumcisio.

¹³And the other Iewes dissembled likewise with him, insomuch that Barnabas also was caried away with their dissimulation.

¹⁴But when I saw that they walked not vprightly according to the truth of the Gospel, I said vnto Peter before them al, If thou, being a Iew, liuest after the maner of Gentiles, and not as doe the Iewes, why compellest thou the Gentiles to liue as do the Iewes?

Justified by Faith

¹⁵We who are Iewes by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles,

¹⁶Knowing that a man is not iustified by the works of the Law, but by the faith of Iesus Christ, euen we haue beleeued in Iesus Christ, that we might be iustified by the faith of Christ, and not by the workes of the Law: for by the workes of the Law shall no flesh be iustified.

¹⁷But if while we seeke to be iustified by Christ, wee our selues also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sinne? God forbid.

¹⁸For if I build againe the things which I destroyed, I make my selfe a transgressour.

¹⁹For I through ye Law, am dead to the Law, that I might liue vnto God.

²⁰I am crucified with Christ. Neuertheles, I liue, yet not I, but Christ liueth in me, and the life which I now liue in the flesh, I liue by the faith of the sonne of God, who loued mee, and gaue himselfe for me.

²¹I doe not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousnes come by the Lawe, then Christ is dead in vaine.

Judgment on Pharaoh of Egypt Like a Great Monster

¹In the tenth yeere, in the tenth moneth, in the twelft day of the moneth, the word of the Lord came vnto me, saying,

²Sonne of man, set thy face against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and prophecie against him, and against all Egypt.

³Speake and say, Thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I am against thee, Pharaoh king of Egypt, the great dragon that lieth in the middest of his riuers, which hath saide, My riuer is mine owne, and I haue made it for my selfe.

⁴But I will put hookes in thy chawes, and I will cause the fish of thy riuers to sticke vnto thy scales, and I will bring thee vp out of the middest of thy riuers, and all the fish of thy riuers shall sticke vnto thy scales.

⁵And I will leaue thee throwen into the wildernes, thee and all the fish of thy riuers: thou shalt fall vpon the open fields, thou shalt not be brought together, nor gathered: I haue giuen thee for meat to the beastes of the field, and to the foules of the heauen.

⁶And all the inhabitants of Egypt shall know that I am the Lord, because they haue bene a staffe of reede to the house of Israel.

⁷When they tooke hold of thee by thy hand, thou didst breake, and rent all their shoulder: and when they leaned vpon thee, thou brakest, and madest all their loynes to be at a stand.

⁸Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I will bring a sword vpon thee, and cut off man and beast out of thee.

⁹And the land of Egypt shalbe desolate and waste, and they shall knowe that I am the Lord: because he hath saide, The riuer is mine, and I haue made it.

¹⁰Beholde therefore, I am against thee, and against thy riuers, and I wil make the land of Egypt vtterly waste and desolate, from the towre of Syene euen vnto the border of Ethiopia.

¹¹No foot of man shal passe through it, nor foote of beast shall passe through it, neither shall it bee inhabited fourtie yeeres.

¹²And I will make the land of Egypt desolate in the midst of the countreys that are desolate, and her cities among the cities that are layed waste, shall be desolate fourtie yeeres: and I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and wil disperse them through the countreys.

¹³Yet thus saith the Lord God, At the end of fourtie yeeres will I gather the Egyptians from the people whither they were scattered.

¹⁴And I will bring againe the captiuitie of Egypt, and will cause them to returne into the land of Pathros, into the land of their habitation, and they shall be there a base kingdome.

¹⁵It shall be the basest of the kingdomes, neither shall it exalt it selfe any more aboue the nations: for I will diminish them, that they shall no more rule ouer the nations.

¹⁶And it shall be no more the confidence of the house of Israel, which bringeth their iniquity to remembrance, when they shall looke after them: but they shall know that I am the Lord God.

The Land of Egypt Given to Nebuchadnezzar

¹⁷And it came to passe in the seuen and twentieth yeere, in the first moneth, in the first day of the moneth, the worde of the Lord came vnto me, saying,

¹⁸Sonne of man, Nebuchad-rezzar king of Babylon caused his armie to serue a great seruice against Tyrus: euery head was made balde, and euery shoulder was peeled: yet had he no wages, nor his armie for Tyrus, for the seruice that he had serued against it.

¹⁹Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I will giue the land of Egypt vnto Nebuchad-rezzar king of Babylon, and he shall take her multitude, and take her spoile, and take her praye, and it shall be the wages for his armie.

²⁰I haue giuen him the land of Egypt for his labour wherewith he serued against it, because they wrought for me, saith the Lord God.

²¹In that day will I cause the horne of the house of Israel to budde forth, and I will giue thee the opening of the mouth in the midst of them, and they shal know that I am the Lord.

God's Deeds Handed Down to the Generations

¹[Maschil of Asaph.] Giue eare, O my people, to my Lawe: incline your eares to the wordes of my mouth.

²I will open my mouth in a parable: I wil vtter darke sayings of old:

³Which we haue heard, & knowen: and our fathers haue told vs.

⁴We will not hide them from their children, shewing to the generation to come, the praises of the Lord: and his strength, and his wonderful works that he hath done.

⁵For he established a Testimony in Iacob, and appointed a Law in Israel, which he commaunded our fathers: that they should make them knowen to their children.

⁶That the generation to come might know them, euen the children which should be borne: who should arise and declare them to their children:

⁷That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God: but keepe his Commandements,

⁸And might not bee as their fathers, a stubborne and rebellious generation, a generation that set not their heart aright: and whose spirit was not stedfast with God.

⁹The children of Ephraim being armed, and carying bowes, turned backe in the day of battell.

¹⁰They kept not the couenant of God: and refused to walke in his Law:

¹¹And forgat his workes: and his wonders that he had shewed them.

¹²Marueilous things did he in the sight of their fathers: in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan.

¹³Hee diuided the Sea, and caused them to passe through: and he made the waters to stand as an heape.

¹⁴In the day time also he led them with a cloud: and all the night with a light of fire.

¹⁵Hee claue the rockes in the wildernes: and gaue them drinke as out of the great depthes.

¹⁶Hee brought streames also out of the rocke, and caused waters to runne downe like riuers.

¹⁷And they sinned yet more against him: by prouoking the most High in the wildernes.

¹⁸And they tempted God in their heart: by asking meat for their lust.

¹⁹Yea, they spake against God: they said, Can God furnish a table in the wildernes?

²⁰Behold, he smote the rocke, that the waters gushed out, & the streames ouerflowed; can he giue bread also? Can he prouide flesh for his people?

²¹Therefore the Lord heard this, and was wroth, so a fire was kindled against Iacob: and anger also came vp against Israel.

²²Because they beleeued not in God: and trusted not in his saluation:

²³Though he had commanded the cloudes from aboue: and opened the doores of heauen:

²⁴And had rained downe Manna vpon them to eate, and had giuen them of the corne of heauen.

²⁵Man did eate Angels food: hee sent them meat to the full.

²⁶He caused an East wind to blow in the heauen: and by his power hee brought in the South wind.

²⁷He rained flesh also vpon them as dust: and feathered soules like as the sand of the sea.

²⁸And hee let it fall in the midst of their campe, round about their habitations.

²⁹So they did eate, & were well filled: for he gaue them their owne desire.

³⁰They were not estranged from their lust: but while their meate was yet in their mouthes,

³¹The wrath of God came vpon them, and slew the fattest of them: and smote downe the chosen men of Israel.

³²For all this they sinned still: and beleeued not for his wondrous works.

³³Therefore their dayes did he consume in vanitie, and their yeeres in trouble.

³⁴When hee slew them, then they sought him: and they returned, and inquired early after God.

³⁵And they remembred that God was their rocke: and the high God, their redeemer.

³⁶Neuerthelesse they did flatter him with their mouth: and they lyed vnto him with their tongues.

³⁷For their heart was not right with him: neither were they stedfast in his couenant.
