| 1 | But the spirit seith opynli, that in the laste tymes summen schulen departe fro the feith, yyuynge tent to spiritis of errour, and to techingis of deuelis; that speken leesing in ipocrisie, |
| 2 | and haue her conscience corrupt, |
| 3 | forbedinge to be weddid, to absteyne fro metis, whiche God made to take with doyng of thankingis, to feithful men, and hem that han knowe the treuthe. |
| 4 | For ech creature of God is good, and no thing is to be cast awei, which is takun with doyng of thankyngis; |
| 5 | for it is halewid bi the word of God, and bi preyer. |
| 6 | Thou puttynge forth these thingis to britheren, schalt be a good mynystre of Crist Jhesu; nurschid with wordis of feith and of good doctryne, which thou hast gete. |
| 7 | But eschewe thou vncouenable fablis, and elde wymmenus fablis; haunte thi silf to pitee. |
| 8 | For bodili exercitation is profitable to litle thing; but pitee is profitable to alle thingis, that hath a biheest of lijf that now is, and that is to come. |
| 9 | A trewe word, and worthi al acceptacioun. |
| 10 | And in this thing we trauelen, and ben cursid, for we hopen in lyuyng God, that is sauyour of alle men, moost of feithful men. |
| 11 | Comaunde thou this thing, and teche. |
| 12 | No man dispise thi yongthe, but be thou ensaumple of feithful men in word, in lyuyng, in charite, in feith, in chastite. |
| 13 | Tyl Y come, take tent to redyng, to exortacioun and teching. |
| 14 | Nyle thou litil charge the grace which is in thee, that is youun to thee bi profecie, with putting on of the hondis of preesthod. |
| 15 | Thenke thou these thingis, in these be thou, that thi profiting be schewid to alle men. |
| 16 | Take tent to thi silf and to doctryn; be bisi in hem. For thou doynge these thingis, schalt `make bothe thi silf saaf, and hem that heren thee. |
