I thanke my God, making mention of thee alwayes in my prayers,
Hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints;
Hearing of thy loue, and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Iesus, and toward all Saints:
That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.

Wherefore, though I might be much bold in Christ to enjoin thee that which is convenient,
Wherefore, though I might bee much bolde in Christ to enioyne thee that which is conuenient;
Yet for love’s sake I rather beseech thee, being such an one as Paul the aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ.
Yet for loues sake I rather beseech thee, being such a one as Paul the aged, and now also a prisoner of Iesus Christ.
I beseech thee for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten in my bonds:
I beseech thee for my sonne Onesimus, whome I haue begotten in my bonds,
Which in time past was to thee unprofitable, but now profitable to thee and to me:
Which in time past was to thee vnprofitable: but now profitable to thee and to me:
Whom I have sent again: thou therefore receive him, that is, mine own bowels:
Whom I haue sent againe: thou therfore receiue him, that is mine owne bowels.
Whom I would have retained with me, that in thy stead he might have ministered unto me in the bonds of the gospel:
Whome I would haue reteined with mee, that in thy stead hee might haue ministred vnto me in the bonds of the Gospel.

26The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
27Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt.
28But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants, which owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest.
29And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
30And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt.
31So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done.
32Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me:
33Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee?
34And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him.
35So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.
21¶ Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sinne against mee, and I forgiue him? *till seuen times?
22Iesus saith vnto him, I say not vnto thee, Untill seuen times: but, Untill seuentie times seuen.
23¶ Therefore is the kingdome of heauen likened vnto a certaine king, which would take accompt of his seruants.
24And when hee had begun to reckon, one was brought vnto him which ought him ten thousand †talents.
25But forasmuch as hee had not to pay, his lord commanded him to bee sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.
26The seruant therfore fell downe, and ‖worshipped him, saying, Lord, haue patience with mee, and I will pay thee all.
27Then the Lord of that seruant was moued with compassion, and loosed him, and forgaue him the debt.
28But the same seruant went out, and found one of his fellow-seruants, which ought him an hundred †pence: and hee layd handes on him, and tooke him by the throte, saying, Pay mee that thou owest.
29And his fellow seruant fell downe at his feete, and besought him, saying, Haue patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
30And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till hee should pay the debt.
31So when his fellow-seruants saw what was done, they were very sorie, and came, and told vnto their lord all that was done.
32Then his lord, after that hee had called him, said vnto him, O thou wicked seruant, I forgaue thee all that debt because thou desiredst me:
33Shouldest not thou also haue had compassion on thy fellow-seruant, euen as I had pitie on thee?
34And his lord was wroth, and deliuered him to the tormentors, till hee should pay all that was due vnto him.
35So likewise shall my heauenly Father doe also vnto you, if yee from your hearts forgiue not euery one his brother their trespasses.
