I meane the righteousnesse whiche commeth of God thorowe fayeth in knowinge him and the vertue of resurrection and the feloshippe of his passion that I mighte be conformable vnto his death if by anye meanes I might attayne vnto the resurrection oâ— the dead For why God the father hath made vs meete to be partakâ—rs of the inheritaunce of saynctes in lighte which hath deliuered vs from the power of darckenes and hath translated vs in to the kingedome of his deare son in whom we haue redemption through â—is bloude and forgeuenesse of oure sinnes Therefore if ye be rysen agayne with Christ seke those things which are aboue where Christe sitteth on the right hande of God Set your affections on thinges that are aboue and not on thynges whiche are on the earth For ye are dead and your life iâ— hid with Christ in God When Christ which is your life shall â—hewe him selfe then shall ye also appeare with him in glorye Fighte the good fyghte of fayeth Lay hand on eternall life wherunto thou art called hast professed a good profession before many witnesses I knowe whome I haue beleued and am sure that he is able to keepe that whiche I haue committed to his kepinge against that daye Suffer affliction as a good souldier of Iesu Christ.
