TSK · Romans 12:1

Let the wordes of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in thy sight O God: my strength and my redeemer.

I wyll prayse the name of the Lorde with a song: and magnifie hym with a solemne confession.

Them will I bring to my holy mountayne, & make them ioyfull in my house of prayer: their burnt offerynges and sacrifices shalbe accepted vpon myne aulter: for my house shalbe called an house of prayer for all people.

Take these wordes with you, whe ye turne to the Lorde, and say vnto him, O forgeue vs all our sinnes, receaue vs graciously, and then wyll we offer the Calues of our lippes vnto thee.

Eyther despisest thou the rychesse of his goodnes, & pacience, and long sufferaunce, not knowyng that the kyndnesse of god leadeth thee to repentauce?

Knowe ye not, how that to whom soeuer ye commit your selues as seruauntes to obey, his seruauntes ye are to whom ye obey: whether it be of sinne vnto death, or of obedience vnto ryghteousnesse?

To declare the riches of his glory, on the vessels of mercy, which he had prepared vnto glory:

And fasshion not your selues lyke vnto this worlde, but be ye chaunged in your shape, by ye renuing of your minde, that ye may proue what is the wyll of God, good, and acceptable, and perfect.

I beseche you brethren for ye Lorde Iesus Christes sake, and for the loue of the spirite, that ye helpe me in my busynesse with your prayers to God for me:

Purge out therfore the olde leauen, that ye maye be newe dowe, as ye are vnleauened bread: For Christe our Pasouer is offred vp for vs.

Therfore, seyng that we haue such a ministerie, as we haue receaued mercie, we faynt not:

For the loue of Christe constrayneth vs, because we thus iudge, that yf one dyed for all, then were all dead.

We also as helpers exhorte you, that ye receaue not the grace of God in vayne.

But God which is ryche in mercie, for his great loue wherwith he loued vs,

Approuyng what is acceptable vnto the Lorde.

If there be therefore any consolation in Christe, yf any comfort of loue, if any felowship of ye spirite, yf any compassion and mercie,

But I haue receaued al, & haue plentie. I was euen fylled after that I had receaued of Epaphroditus the thynges which were sent from you, an odoure of a sweete smel, a sacrifice acceptable, plesaunt to God.

Yea and that thyng veryly ye do vnto all ye brethren which are in al Macedonia: But we beseche you brethren, that ye encrease more and more:

For that is good and accepted in the syght of God our sauiour,

But after that the kyndenesse and loue of our sauiour God to manwarde appeared,

By hym therfore, do we offer sacrifice of laude alwayes to God: that is, the fruite of lippes confessyng his name.

And ye as lyuely stones, be you made a spirituall house, an holy priesthood, for to offer vp spirituall sacrifices, acceptable to God by Iesus Christe.

For what prayse is it, yf when ye be buffeted for your faultes, ye take it paciently? But yf when ye do well ye suffer wrong, & take it paciently, then is there thanke with God.
