| 15:1 | We which are stronge ought to beare the fraylnes of them which are weake and not to stonde in oure awne cosaytes. |
| 15:2 | Let every man please his neghbour vnto his welth and edyfyinge. |
| 15:3 | For Christ pleased not him selfe: but as it is written. The rebukes of the which rebuked the fell one me. |
| 15:4 | Whatsoever thinges are written afore tyme are written for oure learnynge that we thorow pacience and comforte of the scripture myght have hope. |
| 15:5 | The God of pacience and consolacion geve vnto every one of you that ye be lyke mynded one towardes another after the insample of Christ: |
| 15:6 | that ye all agreynge together maye with one mouth prayse God the father of oure Lorde Iesus. |
| 15:7 | Wherfore receave ye one another as Christ receaved vs to the prayse of God. |
| 15:8 | And I saye that Iesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the trueth of god to conferme the promyses made vnto the fathers. |
| 15:9 | And let the gentyls prayse god for his mercy as it is written: For this cause I will prayse the amonge the gentyls and synge in thy name. |
| 15:10 | And agayne he sayth: reioyse ye gentyles with his people. |
| 15:11 | And agayne prayse the Lorde all ye gentyls and laude him all nacions. |

| 15:14 | I my selfe am full certified of you my brethren that ye youre selves are full of goodnes and filled with all knowledge and are able to exhorte one another. |
| 15:15 | Neverthelesse brethren I have some what boldly written vnto you as one that putteth you in remembrauce thorow the grace that is geven me of God |
| 15:16 | that I shuld be the minister of Iesu Christ amonge the gentyls and shuld minister the gladde tydynges of God that the gentyls myght be an acceptable offerynge sanctyfied by the holy goost. |
| 15:17 | I have therfore wherof I maye reioyse in Christ Iesu in tho thinges which pertayne to God. |

| 15:19 | in myghty signes and wonders by the power of the sprete of God: so that from Ierusalem and the costes rounde aboute vnto Illyricum I have fylled all countres with the gladde tydynges of Christ. |
| 15:20 | So have I enforsed my selfe to preache the gospell not where Christ was named lest I shuld have bylt on another mannes foundacion: |
| 15:21 | but as it is written: To whom he was not spoken of they shall se: and they that hearde not shall vnderstonde. |
| 15:22 | For this cause I have bene ofte let to come vnto you: |
| 15:23 | but now seynge I have no moare to do in these countres and also have bene desyrous many yeares to come vnto you |
| 15:24 | when I shall take my iorney into spayne I will come to you. I trust to se you in my iorney and to be brought on my waye thither warde by you after that I have somwhat enioyed you. |
| 15:25 | Now go I vnto Ierusalem and minister vnto the saynctes. |
| 15:26 | For it hath pleased them of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certayne distribucio vpo the poore saynctes which are at Ierusalem. |
| 15:27 | It hath pleased them verely and their detters are they. For yf the getils be made partetakers of their spirituall thinges their dutie is to minister vnto the in carnall thinges. |
| 15:28 | When I have performed this and have brought them this frute sealed. I will come backe agayne by you into Spayne. |
| 15:29 | And I am sure when I come that I shall come with aboundaunce of the blessinge of the gospell of Christ. |

| 15:31 | that I maye be delyvered from them which beleve not in Iewry and that this my service which I have to Ierusalem maye be accepted of ye saynctes |
| 15:32 | that I maye come vnto you with ioye by the will of God and maye with you be refresshed. |

William Tyndale Bible 1534
William Tyndale was the first man to ever print the New Testament in the English language. Tyndale also went on to be the first to translate much of the Old Testament from the original Hebrew into English, but he was executed in 1536 for the "crime" of printing the scriptures in English before he could personally complete the printing of an entire Bible. His friends Myles Coverdale, and John [Thomas Matthew] Rogers, managed to evade arrest and publish entire Bibles in the English language for the first time, and within one year of Tyndale's death. These Bibles were primarily the work of William Tyndale.
