TSK · Matthew 13:23

Blessed is the man that doeth not walke in the counsell of the wicked, nor stand in the way of sinners, nor sit in ye seate of the scornefull:

A wise man shall heare and increase in learning, and a man of vnderstanding shall attayne vnto wise counsels,

Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby ye haue transgressed, and make you a newe heart and a new spirit: for why will ye die, O house of Israel?

Bring foorth therefore fruite worthy amendement of life.

Either make the tree good, and his fruite good: or els make the tree euill, and his fruite euil: for the tree is knowen by the fruite.

But they that haue receiued seede in good ground, are they that heare the worde, and receiue it, and bring foorth fruite: one corne thirtie, another sixtie, and some an hundreth.

For it is not a good tree that bringeth foorth euill fruite: neither an euill tree, that bringeth foorth good fruite.

And if it beare fruite, well: if not, then after thou shalt cut it downe.

He that is of God, heareth Gods wordes: yee therefore heare them not, because ye are not of God.

I Am that true vine, and my Father is that husband man.

Nowe they knowe that all things whatsoeuer thou hast giuen me, are of thee.

These were also more noble men then they which were at Thessalonica, which receiued the woorde with all readinesse, and searched the Scriptures daily, whether those things were so.

Also hee that findeth seede to the sower, will minister likewise bread for foode, and multiplie your seede, and increase the fruites of your beneuolence,)

Filled with the fruites of righteousnesse, which are by Iesus Christ vnto the glorie & praise of God.

Which is come vnto you, eue as it is vnto al the world, & is fruitful, as it is also amog you, from ye day that ye heard & truly knew ye grace of God,

And furthermore we beseeche you, brethren, and exhort you in the Lord Iesus, that ye increase more and more, as ye haue receiued of vs, how ye ought to walke, and to please God.

But we ought to giue thankes alway to God for you, brethren beloued of the Lord, because that God hath from the beginning chosen you to saluation, through sanctification of the Spirit, and the faith of trueth,

For the earth which drinketh in the raine that commeth oft vpon it, and bringeth foorth herbes meete for them by whome it is dressed, receiueth blessing of God.

Let vs therefore by him offer the sacrifice of prayse alwaies to God, that is, the fruite of the lippes, which confesse his Name.

Wherefore, laying aside all maliciousnes, and all guile, and dissimulation, and enuie, and all euill speaking,

But growe in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lorde and Sauiour Iesus Christ: to him be glory both now and for euermore. Amen.
