Bear One Another's Burdens and Do Good

¹Brethren, if a man bee ouertaken in a fault: yee which are spirituall, restore such a one in the spirit of meeknesse, considering thy selfe least thou also be tempted.

²Beare ye one anothers burthens, and so fulfill the Law of Christ.

³For if a man thinke himselfe to be something, when he is nothing, hee deceiueth himselfe.

⁴But let euery man prooue his owne worke, and then shall he haue reioycing in him selfe alone, and not in an other.

⁵For euery man shall beare his owne burthen.

⁶Let him that is taught in the word, communicate vnto him that teacheth, in all good things.

⁷Be not deceiued, God is not mocked: for whatsoeuer a man soweth, that shall he also reape.

⁸For hee that soweth to his flesh, shall of the flesh reape corruption: but he that soweth to the spirit, shall of the spirit reape life euerlasting.

⁹And let vs not bee weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reape, if we faint not.

¹⁰As we haue therefore opportunitie, let vs doe good vnto all men, especially vnto them who are of the household of faith.

Boasting Only in the Cross of Christ

¹¹Ye see how large a letter I haue written vnto you with mine owne hand.

¹²As many as desire to make a faire shew in the flesh, they constraine you to be Circumcised: onely least they should suffer persecution for the Crosse of Christ.

¹³For neither they themselues who are circumcised, keepe the Law, but desire to haue you circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh.

¹⁴But God forbid that I should glory, saue in the Crosse of our Lord Iesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified vnto me, & I vnto the world.

¹⁵For in Christ Iesus neither circumcision auaileth any thing nor vncircumcision, but a new creature.

¹⁶And as many as walke according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercie, and vpon the Israel of God.

¹⁷From henceforth let no man trouble mee, for I beare in my body the markes of the Lord Iesus.

¹⁸Brethren, the grace of our Lord Iesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.Unto the Galatians, written from Rome.

The Duty and Calling of the Watchman

¹Againe the worde of the Lord came vnto mee, saying,

²Sonne of man, speake to the children of thy people, and say vnto them, When I bring the sword vpon a land, if the people of the land take a man of their coasts, and set him for their watchman,

³If when he seeth the sword come vpon the land, hee blow the trumpet, and warne the people,

⁴Then whosoeuer heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not warning, if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be vpon his owne head.

⁵Hee heard the sound of the trumpet, and tooke not warning, his blood shall be vpon him: but he that taketh warning, shall deliuer his soule.

⁶But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned: if the sword come and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquitie: but his blood will I require at the watchmans hand.

⁷So thou, O sonne of man, I haue set thee a watchman vnto the house of Israel: therefore thou shalt heare the worde at my mouth, and warne them from me.

⁸When I say vnto the wicked, O wicked man, thou shalt surely die, if thou doest not speake to warne the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquitie: but his blood will I require at thine hand.

⁹Neuerthelesse if thou warne the wicked of his way to turne from it: if he do not turne from his way, he shal die in his iniquitie: but thou hast deliuered thy soule.

The Justice That Judges Each According to His Ways

¹⁰Therefore, O thou sonne of man, speake vnto the house of Israel, Thus ye speake, saying, If our transgressions and our sinnes be vpon vs, & we pine away in them, how should we then liue?

¹¹Say vnto them, As I liue, saith the Lord God, I haue no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turne from his way & liue: turne ye, turne ye from your euill wayes, for why wil ye die, O house of Israel?

¹²Therefore thou sonne of man, say vnto the children of thy people, The righteousnes of the righteous shal not deliuer him in the day of his transgression: as for the wickednes of the wicked, he shall not fall thereby in the day that hee turneth from his wickednes, neither shall the righteous bee able to liue for his righteousnes in the day that he sinneth.

¹³When I shal say to the righteous, that he shall surely liue if he trust to his owne righteousnes and commit iniquitie, all his righteousnesses shall not be remembred; but for his iniquitie that he hath committed, he shall die for it.

¹⁴Againe, when I say vnto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die, if hee turne from his sinne, and do that which is lawfull and right;

¹⁵If the wicked restore the pledge, giue againe that he had robbed, walke in the Statutes of life without committing iniquitie, hee shall surely liue, hee shall not die.

¹⁶None of his sinnes that hee hath committed, shall be mentioned vnto him: he hath done that which is lawfull and right; he shall surely liue.

¹⁷Yet the children of thy people say, The way of the Lord is not equall: but as for them, their way is not equall.

¹⁸When the righteous turneth from his righteousnes, and committeth iniquitie, he shall euen die thereby.

¹⁹But if the wicked turne from his wickednes, and doe that which is lawfull and right, he shall liue thereby.

²⁰Yet yee say, The way of the Lord is not equall, O yee house of Israel; I will iudge you euery one after his wayes.

News of Jerusalem's Fall and the People's Hypocrisy

²¹And it came to passe in the twelfth yeere of our captiuitie, in the tenth moneth, in the fifth day of the moneth, that one that had escaped out of Ierusalem, came vnto mee, saying, The city is smitten.

²²Now the hand of the Lord was vpon mee in the euening, afore hee that was escaped came, and had opened my mouth vntill hee came to mee in the morning, and my mouth was opened, and I was no more dumbe.

²³Then the word of the Lord came vnto me, saying,

²⁴Sonne of man, they that inhabite those wastes of the land of Israel, speake, saying, Abraham was one, and he inherited the land: but we are many, the land is giuen vs for inheritance.

²⁵Wherefore say vnto them, Thus saith the Lord God, Ye eate with the blood, and lift vp your eyes toward your idoles, and shed blood; and shal ye possesse the land?

²⁶Yee stand vpon your sword; yee worke abomination, and ye defile euery one his neighbours wife, and shall ye possesse the land?

²⁷Say thou thus vnto them, Thus saith the Lord God, As I liue, surely they that are in the wastes, shall fall by the sword, and him that is in the open field will I giue to the beasts to be deuoured: and they that be in the forts and in the caues, shall die of the pestilence.

²⁸For I will lay the land most desolate, and the pompe of her strength shall cease: and the mountaines of Israel shall bee desolate, that none shall passe through.

²⁹Then shall they know that I am the Lord, when I haue layed the land most desolate, because of all their abominations which they haue committed.

³⁰Also thou sonne of man, the children of thy people still are talking against thee by the walles, and in the doores of the houses, and speake one to another, euery one to his brother, saying, Come, I pray you, and heare what is the word that commeth foorth from the Lord.

³¹And they come vnto thee as the people commeth, and they sit before thee as my people, and they heare thy words, but they will not doe them: for with their mouth they shew much loue, but their heart goeth after their couetousnesse.

³²And loe, thou art vnto them as a very louely song of one that hath a pleasant voyce, and can play well on an instrument: for they heare thy wordes, but they doe them not.

³³And when this commeth to passe, (loe it will come) then shall they know that a Prophet hath bene among them.

A Voice Urging Obedience at the Feast

¹[To the chiefe Musician vpon Gittith. A Psalme of Asaph.] Sing alowd vnto God our strength: make a ioyfull noise vnto the God of Iacob.

²Take a Psalme, and bring hither the timbrell: the pleasant harpe with the psalterie.

³Blow vp the trumpet in the new Moone: in the time appointed on our solemne feast day.

⁴For this was a Statute for Israel: and a Law of the God of Iacob.

⁵This he ordained in Ioseph for a testimonie, when he went out through the land of Egypt: where I heard a language, that I vnderstood not.

⁶I remoued his shoulder from the burden: his handes were deliuered from the pots.

⁷Thou calledst in trouble, and I deliuered thee, I answered thee in the secret place of thunder: I proued thee at the waters of Meribah. Selah.

⁸Heare, O my people, and I will testifie vnto thee: O Israel, if thou wilt hearken vnto me:

⁹There shall no strange God be in thee: neither shalt thou worship any strange God.

¹⁰I am the Lord thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.

¹¹But my people would not hearken to my voice: and Israel would none of me.

¹²So I gaue them vp vnto their owne hearts lust: and they walked in in their owne counsels.

¹³O that my people had hearkned vnto me: and Israel had walked in my wayes!

¹⁴I should soone haue subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their aduersaries.

¹⁵The haters of the Lord should haue submitted themselues vnto him: but their time should haue endured for euer.

¹⁶Hee should haue fedde them also with the finest of the wheat: and with honie out of the rocke, should I haue satisfied thee.

A Rebuke Against Unjust Judges

¹[A Psalme of Asaph.] God standeth in the Congregation of the mightie: hee iudgeth among the gods.

²How long will yee iudge vniustly: and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah.

³Defend the poore and fatherlesse: doe iustice to the afflicted and needie.

⁴Deliuer the poore and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked.

⁵They know not, neither wil they vnderstand; they walke on in darknes: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.

⁶I haue said, Ye are gods: and all of you are children of the most High:

⁷But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the Princes.

⁸Arise, O God, iudge the earth: for thou shalt inherite all nations.
