beginning_n let_v we_o attend_v unto_o prayer_n with_o all_o sobrierie_n and_o unto_o fast_n with_o all_o perseverance_n and_o in_o our_o supplication_n let_v we_o pray_v unto_o the_o all-seeing_a god_n that_o he_o will_v not_o lead_v we_o into_o temptation_n as_o the_o lord_n have_v teach_v for_o the_o spirit_n be_v willing_a but_o the_o flesh_n be_v weak_a let_v we_o endure_v without_o faint_v rest_v ourselves_o upon_o our_o hope_n and_o pledge_v of_o righteousness_n which_o be_v jesus_n christ_n who_o do_v bear_v our_o sin_n in_o his_o own_o body_n upon_o the_o tree_n who_o do_v no_o sin_n neither_o be_v guile_n find_v in_o his_o mouth_n but_o he_o patient_o endure_v all_o thing_n for_o we_o that_o we_o may_v live_v through_o he_o therefore_o let_v we_o be_v the_o follower_n of_o his_o patience_n and_o if_o we_o suffer_v for_o his_o name_n we_o glorify_v he_o for_o he_o set_v we_o such_o a_o example_n in_o himself_o as_o we_o believe_v therefore_o i_o exhort_v you_o all_o to_o obey_v the_o word_n of_o righteousness_n and_o to_o exercise_v all_o patience_n as_o you_o have_v see_v it_o exemplify_v before_o your_o eye_n not_o only_o in_o the_o bless_a ignatius_n zosimus_n and_o rufus_n but_o in_o other_o among_o you_o in_o paul_n himself_o and_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o apostle_n for_o you_o may_v be_v confident_a that_o all_o these_o have_v not_o run_v in_o vain_a but_o in_o faith_n and_o righteousness_n and_o have_v obtain_v the_o place_n due_a unto_o they_o be_v now_o with_o the_o lord_n with_o who_o also_o they_o suffer_v for_o they_o love_v not_o this_o present_a world_n but_o he_o who_o die_v for_o we_o and_o be_v for_o we_o by_o god_n raise_v again_o from_o death_n to_o life_n stand_v fast_o therefore_o in_o these_o thing_n and_o follow_v the_o pattern_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v steadfast_a in_o the_o faith_n immutable_a lover_n of_o the_o brotherhood_n kind_a one_o to_o another_o unite_v in_o truth_n perform_v all_o meekness_n each_o to_o

man_n by_o who_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v blaspheme_v therefore_o teach_v all_o man_n sobriety_n and_o be_v yourselves_o conversant_a in_o it_o i_o be_o very_o much_o trouble_v for_o valens_n who_o be_v make_v a_o presbyter_n among_o you_o because_o he_o be_v unmindful_a of_o his_o place_n which_o be_v commit_v unto_o he_o i_o therefore_o admonish_v you_o that_o you_o abstain_v from_o covetousness_n and_o that_o you_o be_v chaste_a and_o true_a keep_v yourselves_o from_o all_o evil_a but_o how_o can_v he_o preach_v this_o to_o another_o who_o can_v govern_v himself_o in_o these_o matter_n if_o a_o man_n keep_v not_o himself_o from_o covetousness_n he_o will_v be_v defile_v with_o idolatry_n and_o account_v a_o heathen_a but_o who_o know_v not_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o lord_n do_v we_o not_o know_v that_o the_o saint_n shall_v judge_v the_o world_n as_o paul_n teach_v but_o i_o have_v neither_o perceive_v nor_o hear_v of_o any_o such_o thing_n among_o you_o among_o who_o bless_v paul_n labour_v who_o be_v also_o in_o the_o begin_n of_o his_o epistle_n for_o he_o glory_v of_o you_o in_o all_o those_o church_n which_o only_o know_v god_n at_o that_o time_n for_o as_o yet_o we_o have_v not_o know_v he_o therefore_o my_o brethren_n i_o be_o grieve_v for_o he_o and_o for_o his_o wife_n to_o who_o the_o lord_n give_v true_a repentance_n and_o be_v you_o
