The Great Bible 1539

 

   

5:1Go to now ye ryche men. Wepe, and howle on your wretchednes that shal come vpon you.
5:2Your riches is corrupte, your garmentes are motheaten,
5:3Youre golde & syluer is cankred, and the rust of the shalbe a wytnes vnto you, & shall eate youre flesshe as it were fyre. Ye haue heaped treasure together in your last dayes:
5:4Beholde the hyre of labourers which haue reaped downe youre feldes (which hyre is of you kept backe by fraude) cryeth: & the cryes of them which haue reaped, are entred in to the eares of the Lord Sabaoth.
5:5Ye haue lyued in pleasure on the erthe, & bene wantan. Ye haue norysshed youre hertes, as in a daye of slaughter.
5:6Ye haue condempned and kylled the iust, and he hath not resisted you.
5:7Be pacient therfore brethren, vnto the commynge of the Lord. Beholde, the husbande man wayteth for the precyous frute of the earth, & hath longe pacience ther vpon, vntyll he receaue the early & the latter rayne.
5:8Be ye also pacient therfore, and settle youre hertes, for the commynge of the Lorde draweth nye.
5:9Grudge not one agaynst another brethren lest ye be damned. Beholde, the iudge standeth before the dore.
5:10Take (my brethren) the Prophetes for an ensample of sufferinge aduersytie, and of pacience, which spake in the name of the Lorde.
5:11Beholde, we counte them happy which endure. Ye haue heard of the pacience of Iob, and haue knowen what ende the Lorde made. For the Lord is very pitiefull and mercyfull.
5:12But aboue all thynges my brethren sweare not, nether by heuen, nether by earth, nether eny other othe. Let your yee be yee, and your naye naye: lest ye fall into ypocrisy,
5:13If any of you be vexed, let him praye. If eny of you be mery, let him synge Psalmes.
5:14If eny be diseased amonge you, let hym call for the elders of the congregacyon, and let them praye ouer him, & anoynte him with oyle in the name of the Lorde,
5:15and the prayer of fayth shall saue the sycke, and the Lord shal rayse him vp: and yf he haue commytted synnes, they shalbe forgeuen hym.
5:16Knowledge youre fautes one to another: and praye one for another, that ye maye be healed. For the feruent prayer of a ryghteous man auayleth moch.
5:17Helyas was a man vnder infirmitees euen as we are, and he prayed in his prayer that it myght not rayne: and it rayned not on the earthe by the space of thre yeares & syxe monethes.
5:18And he prayed agayne, and the heauen gaue rayne, and the earth brought forth her frute.
5:19Brethren, yf eny of you do erre from the trueth and another conuert hym,
5:20let the same knowe that he which conuerteth the synner from goyng a straye out of hys waye, shall saue a soule from deeth, and shal hyde the multitude of synnes.

The Great Bible 1539

The Great Bible of 1539 was the first authorized edition of the Bible in English, authorized by King Henry VIII of England to be read aloud in the church services of the Church of England. The Great Bible was prepared by Myles Coverdale, working under commission of Thomas, Lord Cromwell, Secretary to Henry VIII and Vicar General. In 1538, Cromwell directed the clergy to provide "one book of the bible of the largest volume in English, and the same set up in some convenient place within the said church that ye have care of, whereas your parishioners may most commodiously resort to the same and read it."
