    Ephesians 5
    • 1   Therfor be ye foloweris of God, as moost dereworthe sones;
    • 2   and walke ye in loue, as Crist louyde vs, and yaf hym silf for vs an offryng and a sacrifice to God, in to the odour of swetnesse.
    • 3   And fornycacioun, and al vnclennesse, or aueryce, be not named among you, as it bicometh holi men;
    • 4   ethir filthe, or foli speche, or harlatrye, that perteyneth not to profit, but more doyng of thankyngis.
    • 5   For wite ye this, and vndurstonde, that ech letchour, or vnclene man, or coueytouse, that serueth to mawmetis, hath not eritage in the kingdom of Crist and of God.
    • 6   No man disseyue you bi veyn wordis; for whi for these thingis the wraththe of God cam on the sones of vnbileue.
    • 7   Therfor nyle ye be maad parteneris of hem.
    • 8   For ye weren sum tyme derknessis, but now `ye ben liyt in the Lord. Walke ye as the sones of liyt.
    • 9   For the fruyt of liyt is in al goodnesse, and riytwisnesse, and treuthe.
    • 10   And preue ye what `thing is wel plesynge to God.
    • 11   And nyle ye comyne to vnfruytouse werkis of derknessis; but more repreue ye.
    • 12   For what thingis ben don of hem in priuy, it is foule, yhe, to speke.
    • 13   And alle thingis that ben repreuyd of the liyt, ben opynli schewid; for al thing that is schewid, is liyt.
    • 14   For which thing he seith, Rise thou that slepist, and rise vp fro deth, and Crist schal liytne thee.
    • 15   Therfor, britheren, se ye, hou warli ye schulen go;
    • 16   not as vnwise men, but as wise men, ayenbiynge tyme, for the daies ben yuele.
    • 17   Therfor nyle ye be maad vnwise, but vndurstondynge which is the wille of God.
    • 18   And nyle ye be drunkun of wyn, in which is letcherie, but be ye fillid with the Hooli Goost; and speke ye to you silf in salmes,
    • 19   and ymnes, and spiritual songis, syngynge and seiynge salm in youre hertis to the Lord;
    • 20   euermore doynge thankingis for alle thingis in the name of oure Lord Jhesu Crist to God and to the fadir.
    • 21   Be ye suget togidere in the drede of Crist.
    • 22   Wymmen, be thei suget to her hosebondis,
    • 23   as to the Lord, for the man is heed of the wymman, as Crist is heed of the chirche; he is sauyour of his bodi.
    • 24   But as the chirche is suget to Crist, so wymmen to her hosebondis in alle thingis.
    • 25   Men, loue ye youre wyues, as Crist louyde the chirche, and yaf hym silf for it, to make it holi;
    • 26   and clenside it with the waisching of watir, in the word of lijf,
    • 27   to yyue the chirche gloriouse to hym silf, that it hadde no wem, ne ryueling, or ony siche thing, but that it be hooli and vndefoulid.
    • 28   So and men `schulen loue her wyues, as her owne bodies. He that loueth his wijf, loueth hym silf;
    • 29   for no man hatide euere his owne fleisch, but nurischith and fostrith it, as Crist doith the chirche.
    • 30   And we ben membris of his bodi, of his fleisch, and of his boonys.
    • 31   For this thing a man schal forsake his fadir and modir, and he schal drawe to his wijf; and thei schulen be tweyne in o fleisch.
    • 32   This sacrament is greet; yhe, Y seie in Crist, and in the chirche.
    • 33   Netheles ye alle, ech man loue his wijf as hym silf; and the wijf drede hir hosebonde.

  • John Wycliffe Bible (c.1395) (wycliffe - 2.4.1)

    2020-08-01

    English (enm)

    The Holy Bible, containing the Old and New Testaments, with the Apocryphal books, in the earliest English versions made from the Latin Vulgate by John Wycliffe and his followers, c.1395

    Source text https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Bible_(Wycliffe)

    John Wycliffe organized the first complete translation of the Bible into Middle English in the 1380s.

    The translation from the Vulgate was a collaborative effort, and it is not clear which portions are actually Wycliffe's work.

    Church authorities officially condemned the translators of the Bible into vernacular languages and called these heretics Lollards.

    Despite their prohibition, revised versions of Wycliffite Bibles remained in use for about 100 years.

    Wikisource attributes its source as the Wesley Center Online.

    That in turn was derived from the Fedosov transcription on the Slavic Bibles site http://www.sbible.ru

    The source text makes no use of archaic letters that were part of Middle English orthography.
    The Latin letter Yogh [ȝ] was evidently replaced by the letter [y] in the Fedosov transcription.

    The text is available under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.

    Verse numbers were not used in either the earlier or later version of the Wycliffe Bible in the fourteenth century. Each chapter consisted of one unbroken block of text. There were not even any paragraphs. Hence whatever verse numbers we now have in modern editions have been added retrospectively by comparison with other English Bibles and the Latin Vulgate.

    Two books found in the Vulgate, II Esdras and Psalm 151, were never part of the Wycliffe Bible.

    Module build notes:
    1. The Prayer of Manasseh has been separated from 2 Chronicles in order to avoid a critical versification issue.
    cf. In Wikisource it was assigned as 2 Paralipomenon chapter 37.
    2. The Letter of Jeremiah has been joined to Baruch as chapter 6 thereof.
    3. The book order of Wycliffe's Bible differs from that of the Vulg versification used in this module.
    4. There are now 313 notes in the Wikisource document.
    5. The Wikisource text substantially matches that of the nine books in module version 1.0
    6. Each of these five verses not in the Vulg versification was appended to the previous verse: Deut.27.27 Esth.5.15 Ps.38.15 Ps.147.10 Luke.10.43
    7. There are also several verses without any text. Use Sword utility emptyvss to list these.

Basic Hash Usage Explained

At getBible, we've established a robust system to keep our API synchronized with the Crosswire project's modules. Let me explain how this integration works in simple terms.

We source our Bible text directly from the Crosswire modules. To monitor any updates, we generate "hash values" for each chapter, book, and translation. These hash values serve as unique identifiers that change only when the underlying content changes, thereby ensuring a tight integration between getBible and the Crosswire modules.

Every month, an automated process runs for approximately three hours. During this window, we fetch the latest Bible text from the Crosswire modules. Subsequently, we compare the new hash values and the text with the previous ones. Any detected changes trigger updates to both our official getBible hash repository and the Bible API for all affected translations. This system has been operating seamlessly for several years.

Once the updates are complete, any application utilizing our Bible API should monitor the hash values at the chapter, book, or translation level. Spotting a change in these values indicates that they should update their respective systems.

Hash values can change due to various reasons, including textual corrections like adding omitted verses, rectifying spelling errors, or addressing any discrepancies flagged by the publishers maintaining the modules at Crosswire.

The Crosswire initiative, also known as the SWORD Project, is the "source of truth" for getBible. Any modifications in the Crosswire modules get reflected in our API within days, ensuring our users access the most precise and current Bible text. We pledge to uphold this standard as long as getBible exists and our build scripts remain operational.

We're united in our mission to preserve the integrity and authenticity of the Bible text. If you have questions or require additional information, please use our support system. We're here to assist and will respond promptly.

Thank you for your understanding and for being an integral part of the getBible community.
