⁸For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

¹⁰For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

⁸For by grace are ye saued, through faith, and that not of your selues: it is the gift of God:

³For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.

⁴Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.

⁶Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works,

⁶Euen as Dauid also describeth the blessednesse of the man, vnto whom God imputeth righteousnesse without works:

⁶To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.

⁷In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;

⁸Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence;

⁶To the praise of the glorie of his grace, wherein he hath made vs accepted in the beloued:

⁷In whom wee haue redemption through his blood, the forgiuenesse of sinnes, according to the riches of his grace,

⁸Wherein hee hath abounded toward vs in all wisedome and prudence:

⁴⁰But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?

⁴¹And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss.

⁴²And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.

⁴³And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.

⁴⁰But the other answering, rebuked him, saying, Doest not thou feare God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?

⁴¹And we indeed iustly; for we receiue the due reward of our deeds, but this man hath done nothing amisse.

⁴²And he said vnto Iesus, Lord, remember me when thou commest into thy kingdome.

⁴³And Iesus said vnto him, Uerily, I say vnto thee, to day shalt thou be with me in Paradise.

¹⁴And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

²⁰Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:

²¹That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.

²¹That as sinne hath reigned vnto death; euen so might grace reigne thorow righteousnes vnto eternall life, by Iesus Christ our Lord.

²³Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as a fool) I am more; in labours more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequent, in deaths oft.

²⁴Of the Jews five times received I forty stripes save one.

²⁵Thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day I have been in the deep;
