| Vers | Gothic (Nehemiah, NT Portions) [Latin Script] | English: King James Version |
| 1 | [A] Ni wiljau izwis unwitans, broþrjus, þatei attans unsarai allai uf milhmin wesun, jah allai marein þairhiddjedun, | Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; |
| 2 | [A] jah allai in Mose daupidai wesun, in milhmin jah in marein, | And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea; |
| 3 | [A] jah allai þana saman mat ahmeinan matidedun, | And did all eat the same spiritual meat; |
| 4 | [A] jah |
And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ. |
| 15 | [A] . . . . (fro)daim qiþa; domeiþ jus þatei qiþa. | I speak as to wise men; judge ye what I say. |
| 16 | [A] stikls þiuþiqissais þanei gaweiham, niu gamainduþs bloþis fraujins ist? hlaifs þanei brikam, niu gamainduþs leikis fraujins ist? | The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ? |
| 17 | [A] unte ains hlaifs, ain leik þai managans sium, þaiei auk allai ainis hlaibis jah ainis stiklis brukjam. | For we being many are one bread, and one body: for we are all partakers of that one bread. |
| 18 | [A] saihviþ Israel bi leika: niu þai matjandans hunsla gamainjandans hunslastada sind? | Behold Israel after the flesh: are not they which eat of the sacrifices partakers of the alter? |
| 19 | [A] hva nu qiþam? þatei þo galiugaguda hva sijaina aiþþau þatei galiugam saljada hva sijai? | What say I then? that the idol is any thing, or that which is offered in sacrifice to idols is any thing? |
| 20 | [A] [ni þatei þo galiugaguda waihts sijaina,] ak þatei saljand þiudos, skohslam saljand, jan~ni guda. Ni wiljau auk izwis skohslam gadailans wairþan. | But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils. |
| 21 | [A] ni maguþ stikl fraujins drigkan jah stikl skohsle; ni maguþ biudis fraujins fairaihan jab~biudis skohsle. | Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils. |
| 22 | [A] þau inaljanom fraujin? ibai swinþozans imma sium? | Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he? |
| 23 | [A] all binah, akei ni all daug; all mis binauht ist, akei ni all timreiþ. | All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not. |
| 24 | [A] ni ainshun sein sokjai, ak anþaris hvarjizuh. | Let no man seek his own, but every man another's wealth. |
| 25 | [A] all þatei at skiljam frabugjaidau matjaiþ, ni waiht andhruskandans in miþwisseins. | Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, that eat, asking no question for conscience sake: |
| 26 | [A] fraujins ist auk airþa jah fullo izos. | For the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof. |
| 27 | [A] iþ jabai hvas laþo izwis þize ungalaubjandane jah wileiþ gaggan, all þatei faurlagjaidau izwis matjaiþ, ni waiht andsitandans bi gahugdai. | If any of them that believe not bid you to a feast, and ye be disposed to go; whatsoever is set before you, eat, asking no question for conscience sake. |
| 28 | [A] iþ jabai hvas qiþai þatei galiugam gasaliþ ist, ni matjaiþ in ja(i)nis þis bandwjandins jah þuhta |
But if any man say unto you, This is offered in sacrifice unto idols, eat not for his sake that shewed it, and for conscience sake: for the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof: |
| 29 | [A] þuhtuþ~þan qiþa ni silbins, ak anþaris. duhve auk frijei meina stojada þairh ungalaubjandins þuhtu? | Conscience, I say, not thine own, but of the other: for why is my liberty judged of another man's conscience? |
| 30 | [A] jabai ik anstai andnima, duhve anaqiþaidau in þize ik awiliudo? | For if I by grace be a partaker, why am I evil spoken of for that for which I give thanks? |
| 31 | [A] jaþþe nu matjaiþ jaþþe drigkaiþ jaþþe hva taujiþ, allata du wulþau gudis taujaiþ. | Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God. |
| 32 | [A] unufbrikandans sijaiþ jah Iudaium jah þiudom jah aikklesjon gudis, | Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God: |
| 33 | [A] swaswe ik allaim all leika, ni sokjands þatei mis bruk sijai, ak þatei þaim managam, ei ganisaina. | Even as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved. |
| 5 | But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness. | |
| 6 | Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted. | |
| 7 | Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play. | |
| 8 | Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand. | |
| 9 | Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents. | |
| 10 | Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer. | |
| 11 | Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come. | |
| 12 | Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall. | |
| 13 | There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. | |
| 14 | Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry. |
