Faith and Belief (James 2:14–26)
1 TNT O folisshe Galathyas: who hath bewitched you that ye shuld not beleve the trueth? To whom Iesus Christ was described before the eyes and amonge you crucified. BSB BSB: O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? Before your very eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed as crucified.
2 TNT This only wolde I learne of you: receaved ye the sprete by the dedes of the lawe or els by preachinge of the faith? BSB BSB: I would like to learn just one thing from you: Did you receive the Spirit by works of the law, or by hearing with faith?
3 TNT Are ye so vnwyse that after ye have begonne in the sprete the wolde nowe ende in the flesshe? BSB BSB: Are you so foolish? After starting in the Spirit, are you now finishing in the flesh?
4 TNT So many thinges there ye have suffred in vayne if that be vayne. BSB BSB: Have you suffered so much for nothing, if it really was for nothing?
5 TNT Which ministered to you the sprete and worketh myracles amonge you doth he it thorow the dedes of the lawe or by preachinge of the fayth? BSB BSB: Does God lavish His Spirit on you and work miracles among you because you practice the law, or because you hear and believe?
6 TNT Even as Abraham beleved God and it was asscribed to him for rightewesnes. BSB BSB: So also, “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.”
7 TNT Vnderstonde therfore that they which are of fayth the same are the chyldren of Abraham. BSB BSB: Understand, then, that those who have faith are sons of Abraham.
8 TNT For the scripture sawe afore honde that God wolde iustifie the hethen thorow fayth and therfore shewed before honde glad tydinges vnto Abraham: In the shall all nacions be blessed. BSB BSB: The Scripture foresaw that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, and foretold the gospel to Abraham: “All nations will be blessed through you.”
9 TNT So then they which be of fayth are blessed with faythfull Abraham. BSB BSB: So those who have faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith.
Christ Has Redeemed Us 10 TNT For as many as are vnder the dedes of the lawe are vnder malediccion. For it is written: cursed is every man that cotinueth not in all thinges which are writte in the boke of the lawe to fulfill them. BSB BSB: All who rely on works of the law are under a curse. For it is written: “Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law.”
11 TNT That no man is iustified by the lawe in the sight of God is evidet. For the iuste shall live by fayth. BSB BSB: Now it is clear that no one is justified before God by the law, because, “The righteous will live by faith.”
12 TNT The lawe is not of fayth: but the man that fulfilleth the thinges contayned in the lawe (shall live in the.) BSB BSB: The law, however, is not based on faith; on the contrary, “The man who does these things will live by them.”
14 TNT that the blessynge of Abraham might come on the getyls thorow Iesus Christ and that we might receave the promes of the sprete thorow fayth. BSB BSB: He redeemed us in order that the blessing promised to Abraham would come to the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit.
The Purpose of the Law (Romans 7:1–6)
15 TNT Brethren I will speake after the maner of men. Though it be but a mans testament yet no man despiseth it or addeth eny thinge therto when it is once alowed. BSB BSB: Brothers, let me put this in human terms. Even a human covenant, once it is ratified, cannot be canceled or amended.
16 TNT To Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He sayth not in the seedes as in many: but in thy sede as in one which is Christ. BSB BSB: The promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. The Scripture does not say, “and to seeds,” meaning many, but “and to your seed,” meaning One, who is Christ.
17 TNT This I saye that the lawe which beganne afterwarde beyonde. iiii.C and. xxx. yeares doth not disanull the testament that was confermed afore of God vnto Christ ward to make the promes of none effect. BSB BSB: What I mean is this: The law that came 430 years later does not revoke the covenant previously established by God, so as to nullify the promise.
18 TNT For yf the inheritaunce come of the lawe it cometh not of promes. But God gave it vnto Abraham by promes. BSB BSB: For if the inheritance depends on the law, then it no longer depends on a promise; but God freely granted it to Abraham through a promise.
19 TNT Wherfore then serveth the lawe? The lawe was added because of transgression (tyll the seed cam to which the promes was made) and it was ordeyned by angels in the honde of a mediator. BSB BSB: Why then was the law given? It was added because of transgressions, until the arrival of the seed to whom the promise referred. It was administered through angels by a mediator.
20 TNT A mediator is not a mediator of one. But God is one. BSB BSB: A mediator is unnecessary, however, for only one party; but God is one.
21 TNT Ys the lawe then agaynst the promes of God? God forbid. How be it yf ther had bene a lawe geve which coulde have geven lyfe: then no doute rightewesnes shuld have come by the lawe. BSB BSB: Is the law, then, opposed to the promises of God? Certainly not! For if a law had been given that could impart life, then righteousness would certainly have come from the law.
22 TNT But the scripture concluded all thinges vnder synne that the promes by the fayth of Iesus Christ shuld be geve vnto them that beleve. BSB BSB: But the Scripture pronounces all things confined by sin, so that by faith in Jesus Christ the promise might be given to those who believe.
23 TNT Before that fayth cam, we were kept and shut vp vnder the lawe, vnto the fayth which shuld afterwarde be declared. BSB BSB: Before this faith came, we were held in custody under the law, locked up until faith should be revealed.
24 TNT Wherfore the lawe was oure scolemaster vnto the tyme of Christ that we might be made rightewes by fayth. BSB BSB: So the law became our guardian to lead us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
25 TNT But after that fayth is come now are we no lenger vnder a scolemaster. BSB BSB: Now that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian.
Sons through Faith in Christ 26 TNT For ye are all the sonnes of God by the fayth which is in Christ Iesus. BSB BSB: You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.
27 TNT For all ye that are baptised have put on Christ. BSB BSB: For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.
29 TNT Yf ye be Christes then are ye Abrahams seed and heyres by promes. BSB BSB: And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed and heirs according to the promise.
