1 Let as many seruauntes as are vnder the yoke, count their maisters worthy of all honour, that the name of god and his doctrine be not blasphemed. Let all who are under a yoke as bondservants regard their own masters as worthy of all honor, so that the name of God and the teaching may not be reviled. All who are under the yoke of slavery should consider their masters worthy of full respect, so that God’s name and our teaching may not be slandered.
2 And they whiche haue beleuyng maisters, despise them not because they are brethren: but rather do seruice, forasmuch as they are beleuyng and beloued and partakers of the benefite. These thynges teache and exhort. Those who have believing masters must not be disrespectful on the ground that they are brothers; rather they must serve all the better since those who benefit by their good service are believers and beloved. Teach and urge these things. Those who have believing masters should not show them disrespect just because they are fellow believers. Instead, they should serve them even better because their masters are dear to them as fellow believers and are devoted to the welfare of their slaves. These are the things you are to teach and insist on.

5 Uayne disputations of men of corrupte myndes, destitute of the trueth, thynkyng lucre to be godlynesse. From suche be thou separate. and constant friction among people who are depraved in mind and deprived of the truth, imagining that godliness is a means of gain. and constant friction between people of corrupt mind, who have been robbed of the truth and who think that godliness is a means to financial gain.
6 Godlynesse is great lucre, if a man be content with that he hath. But godliness with contentment is great gain, But godliness with contentment is great gain.
7 For we brought nothyng into the worlde, and it is certayne that we may carry nought away. for we brought nothing into the world, and we cannot take anything out of the world. For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it.
8 But hauyng foode and rayment, we must therwith be content. But if we have food and clothing, with these we will be content. But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that.
9 For they that wyll be riche, fall into temptations and snares, and into many folishe & noysome lustes, which drowne men in perdition and destruction.

11 But thou O man of God, flee these thynges, and folow after righteousnes, godlynes, faith, loue, pacience, mekenes. But as for you, O man of God, flee these things. Pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, steadfastness, gentleness. But you, man of God, flee from all this, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness.
