TSK · Romans 12:11

Go to the emmet thou sluggarde, consider her wayes, and learne to be wyse:

The sluggarde woulde fayne haue and can not get his desire: but the soule of the diligent shall haue plentie.

Seest thou not that they which be diligent in their businesse stande before kinges, & not among the simple people?

The slouthfull saith, there is a lion in the way, and a lion in the middest of the streates.

For his watchmen are all blynde, they haue altogether no vnderstanding, they are all dumbe dogges not beyng able to barke, they are sleepy, sluggishe are they and lye snortyng.

His Lorde aunswered, and sayde vnto hym: Thou euyll and slouthfull seruaut, thou knewest that I reape where I sowed not, and gather where I haue not strowed,

Seruyng the Lorde with all humblenesse of mynde, and with many teares, and temptations whiche came vnto me by the layinges awayte of the Iewes:

For he that is called in the Lord being a seruaunt, is the Lordes free man: Lykewyse also he that is called beyng free, is Christes seruaunt.

Seruauntes obey them that are your bodyly maisters, with feare and tremblyng, in singlenesse of your heart, as vnto Christe.

Maisters, do vnto your seruauntes that which is iust & equall, knowyng that ye also haue a maister in heauen.

And that ye studie to be quiet, and to do your owne busynesse and to worke with your owne handes as we commaunded you:

They learne to wander about from house to house idle: yea not idle only, but also tatlers and busybodies, speakyng thynges which are not comely.

For God is not vnryghteous, to forget your worke & labour of loue, whiche ye haue shewed towarde his name, hauyng ministred to the saintes, and do minister.

Knowledge your faultes one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed: For ye feruent prayer of a ryghteous man auayleth much.

But aboue all thynges, haue feruent loue among your selues: For loue shall couer the multitude of sinnes.

I knowe thy workes, that thou arte neither colde nor hotte: I woulde thou were colde or hotte.
