⁸By honour and dishonour, by euil report and good report, as deceiuers and yet true:

¹⁵Now therefore let not Hezekiah deceive you, nor persuade you on this manner, neither yet believe him: for no god of any nation or kingdom was able to deliver his people out of mine hand, and out of the hand of my fathers: how much less shall your God deliver you out of mine hand?

¹⁵Now therefore let not Hezekiah deceiue you, nor perswade you on this manner, neither yet beleeue him: for no god of any nation or kingdome was able to deliuer his people out of mine hand, & out of the hand of my fathers: how much lesse shall your God deliuer you out of mine hand?

²⁹Thus saith the king, Let not Hezekiah deceive you: for he shall not be able to deliver you out of his hand:

²⁹Thus sayth the king, Let not Hezekiah deceiue you, for he shall not be able to deliuer you out of his hand:

³²Untill I come and take you away to a land like your owne land, a land of corne and wine, a land of bread and vineyards, a land of oile Oliue, and of honie, that yee may liue, and not die: and hearken not vnto Hezekiah, when hee ^‖perswadeth you, saying, The LORD will deliuer vs.

²⁹We know that God spake unto Moses: as for this fellow, we know not from whence he is.

³⁰The man answered and said unto them, Why herein is a marvellous thing, that ye know not from whence he is, and yet he hath opened mine eyes.

³¹Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.

³²Since the world began was it not heard that any man opened the eyes of one that was born blind.

³³If this man were not of God, he could do nothing.

³⁴They answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.

²⁷He answered them, I haue told you already, and ye did not heare: wherfore would you heare it againe? Will ye also be his disciples?

²⁸Then they reuiled him, and said, Thou art his disciple, but we are Moses disciples.

²⁹Wee know that God spake vnto Moses: as for this fellow, we knowe not from whence he is.

³⁰The man answered, and said vnto them, Why herein is a marueilous thing, that ye know not from whence he is, and yet he hath opened mine eyes.

³¹Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man bee a worshipper of God, and doth his will, him he heareth.

³³If this man were not of God, he could doe nothing.

³⁴They answered, and saide vnto him, Thou wast altogether borne in sinnes, and doest thou teach vs? And they ^‖cast him out.

⁶³Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive, After three days I will rise again.

²³But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness;

²⁴But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.

²⁵Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
