Would to god / ye could suffer mea little in my foolishness: ye / and I pray you forbear me. For I am jealous §Aover you with godly jealousy. For I coupled1 you to one man / to make you a chaste virgin to Christ. But I fear lest as the serpent beguiled Eve / through his subtlety / even so your wits should be corrupt from the singleness that is in Christ. For if he that cometh preach another Jesus then him whom we preached: or if ye receive another spirit then that which ye have received: other another gospel then that ye have received / ye might right well have been content.
VVolde to god / ye coulde suffre mea lytell in my folysshnes: yee / and I praye you forbeare me. For I am gelous §Aover you with godly gelousy. For I coupled1 you to one man / to make you a chaste virgen to Christ. But I feare lest as the serpent begyled Eve / thorow his sutteltie / even so youre wittes shuld be corrupte from the singlenes that is in Christ. For if he that commeth preache another Iesus then hym whom we preached: or if ye receave another sprete then that which ye have receaved: other another gospell then that ye have receaved / ye myght right wel have bene content.

I suppose that I was not behind the chief apostles. Though I be tude in speaking / yet I am not so in knowledge. How be it among you we are known to the utmost what we §Bare in all things. Did I therein sin / be cause I submitted my self / that ye might be exalted / & because I preached to you the gospel of God free? I robbed other congregations / and toke wages of them / to do you service with all. And when I was present with you and had need / I was grievous to no man for that which was lacking unto me / the brethren which came from Macedonia / supplied: & in all things I kept my self that I should not be grievous to you: & so will I keep my self.
