Bishops Bible 1568
| 6:1 | We also as helpers exhorte you, that ye receaue not the grace of God in vayne. |
| 6:2 | For he saith: I haue heard thee in a tyme accepted, and in the day of saluation haue I suckoured thee. Beholde, nowe is that accepted tyme, beholde nowe is that day of saluation: |
| 6:3 | Let vs geue none occasion of euyll in any thyng, that the ministerie be not blamed: |
| 6:4 | But in all thynges let vs behaue our selues as ye ministers of God, in much pacience, in afflictions, in necessities, in anguisshes, |
| 6:5 | In stripes, in prisonmentes, in strifes, in labours, |
| 6:6 | In watchynges, in fastinges, in purenesse, in knowledge, in long suffryng, in kyndnesse, in the holy ghost, in loue vnfaigned: |
| 6:7 | In the worde of trueth, in the power of God, by the armour of righteousnes, of the ryght hande and on the lefte, |
| 6:8 | By honour and dishonour, by euyll report and good report, as deceauers and yet true, |
| 6:9 | As vnknowen, and yet knowen, as dying, and beholde we lyue, as chastened, and not kylled, |
| 6:10 | As sorowyng, and yet alway merie: as poore, and yet make many riche: as hauyng nothyng, and yet possessyng all thynges. |
| 6:11 | O ye Corinthians, our mouth is open vnto you, our heart is made large: |
| 6:12 | Ye are in no strayte in vs, but are in a straite in your owne bowels. |
| 6:13 | I promise you lyke rewarde as vnto children: Set your selues at large, |
| 6:14 | And beare not ye a straunge yoke with the vnbeleuers. For what felowship hath righteousnesse with vnrighteousnesse? Or what communion hath lyght with darkenesse? |
| 6:15 | Or what concorde hath Christe with belyall? Eyther what part hath he that beleueth, with an infidell? |
| 6:16 | Or howe agreeth the temple of God with images? For ye are the temple of the lyuing God, as saide God, I wyll dwell in them, & walke in [them] & wyll be their God, & they shalbe my people. |
| 6:17 | Wherfore come out fro among them, and separate your selues from them (saith the Lorde) and touche none vncleane thyng, and I wyll receaue you, |
| 6:18 | And wyll be a father vnto you, and ye shalbe my sonnes and daughters, saith the Lorde almightie. |
Bishops Bible 1568
The Bishops' Bible was produced under the authority of the established Church of England in 1568. It was substantially revised in 1572, and the 1602 edition was prescribed as the base text for the King James Bible completed in 1611. The thorough Calvinism of the Geneva Bible offended the Church of England, to which almost all of its bishops subscribed. They associated Calvinism with Presbyterianism, which sought to replace government of the church by bishops with government by lay elders. However, they were aware that the Great Bible of 1539 , which was the only version then legally authorized for use in Anglican worship, was severely deficient, in that much of the Old Testament and Apocrypha was translated from the Latin Vulgate, rather than from the original Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek. In an attempt to replace the objectionable Geneva translation, they circulated one of their own, which became known as the Bishops' Bible.
