The Great Bible 1539
| 6:1 | We also as helpers exhorte you that ye receaue not the grace of God in vayne. |
| 6:2 | For he sayth: I haue heard the in a tyme accepted: and in the daye of saluacyon, haue I suckered the. Beholde, now is that accepted tyme: beholde, now is that daye of saluacyon. |
| 6:3 | Lett vs geue no occasyon of euyll, that in oure offyce be founde no faute: |
| 6:4 | but in all thynges let vs behaue oure selues as the minysters of God. In moch pacience, in affliccyons, in necessitees in anguysshes, |
| 6:5 | in strypes, in presonmentes: in stryfes: in laboures, in watchynges, in fastynges, |
| 6:6 | in purenes, in knowledge, in longe suffring, in kyndenes, in the holy ghost, in loue vnfayned, |
| 6:7 | in the worde of trueth, in the power of God, by the armoure of ryghtewesnes of the ryght hande & on the lyfte |
| 6:8 | be honoure and dishonoure: be euyll reporte & good reporte: as desceauers, and yet true, |
| 6:9 | as vnknowen, and yet knowen: as dyinge, and beholde, we lyue: as chastened, and not kylled: |
| 6:10 | as sorowing, & yet alwaye merye: as poore, and yet make many ryche: as hauinge nothyng, & yet possessyng all thynges. |
| 6:11 | O ye Corynthyans, oure mouth is open vnto you. Oure hert is made large: |
| 6:12 | ye are in no strayte in vs, but are in a strayte in youre awne bowelles: |
| 6:13 | I promyse vnto you lyke reward, as vnto chyldren. |
| 6:14 | Set your selues at large, and beare not ye the yoke wt the vnbeleuers. For what fellyship hath ryghtewesnes with vnryghtewesnes? Or what company hath lyght wt darknes? |
| 6:15 | Or what concorde hath Christ with Beliall? Ether what parte hath he that beleueth, with an infidell? |
| 6:16 | Or how agreeth the temple of God with Images for ye are the temple of the lyuinge God, as sayde God? I wyll dwell amonge them, & walcke amonge them, and wylbe their God: & they shalbe my people. |
| 6:17 | Wherfore come out from amonge them, and separate youre selues from them (sayth the Lorde) and touche none vncleane thynge: so wyll I receaue you, |
| 6:18 | and wylbe a father vnto you, and ye shalbe my sonnes & daughters, sayth the Lorde allmyghty. |
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."
