having been filled with the fruit of righteousness which comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

for I know that this will turn out for my deliverance through your prayers and the provision of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,

so that your proud confidence in me may abound in Christ Jesus through my coming to you again.

Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus,

so that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth,

and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

But I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you shortly, so that I also may be encouraged when I learn of your condition.

For they all seek after their own interests, not those of Christ Jesus.

for we are the true circumcision, who worship in the Spirit of God and glory in Christ Jesus and put no confidence in the flesh,

More than that, I count all things to be loss in view of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them but rubbish so that I may gain Christ,

Not that I have already obtained it or have already become perfect, but I press on so that I may lay hold of that for which also I was laid hold of by Christ Jesus.

I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

For our citizenship is in heaven, from which also we eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ;

And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

And my God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

Greet every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren who are with me greet you.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.

Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy our brother,

We give thanks to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you,

since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and the love which you have for all the saints;

Therefore as you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him,

Whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father.

and also Jesus who is called Justus; these are the only fellow workers for the kingdom of God who are from the circumcision, and they have proved to be an encouragement to me.

Epaphras, who is one of your number, a bondslave of Jesus Christ, sends you his greetings, always laboring earnestly for you in his prayers, that you may stand perfect and fully assured in all the will of God.

Paul and Silvanus and Timothy,To the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace.

constantly bearing in mind your work of faith and labor of love and steadfastness of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ in the presence of our God and Father,

and to wait for His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead, that is Jesus, who rescues us from the wrath to come.

For you, brethren, became imitators of the churches of God in Christ Jesus that are in Judea, for you also endured the same sufferings at the hands of your own countrymen, even as they did from the Jews,

who both killed the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and drove us out. They are not pleasing to God, but hostile to all men,

For who is our hope or joy or crown of exultation? Is it not even you, in the presence of our Lord Jesus at His coming?

Now may our God and Father Himself and Jesus our Lord direct our way to you;

so that He may establish your hearts without blame in holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all His saints.

Finally then, brethren, we request and exhort you in the Lord Jesus, that as you received from us instruction as to how you ought to walk and please God (just as you actually do walk), that you excel still more.

For you know what commandments we gave you by the authority of the Lord Jesus.

For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus.

For God has not destined us for wrath, but for obtaining salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,

in everything give thanks; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.

Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you entirely; and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved complete, without blame at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

Paul and Silvanus and Timothy,To the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ:

Grace to you and peace from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

and to give relief to you who are afflicted and to us as well when the Lord Jesus will be revealed from heaven with His mighty angels in flaming fire,

dealing out retribution to those who do not know God and to those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus.

so that the name of our Lord Jesus will be glorified in you, and you in Him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Now we request you, brethren, with regard to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him,

It was for this He called you through our gospel, that you may gain the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself and God our Father, who has loved us and given us eternal comfort and good hope by grace,

Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you keep away from every brother who leads an unruly life and not according to the tradition which you received from us.

Now such persons we command and exhort in the Lord Jesus Christ to work in quiet fashion and eat their own bread.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.

Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus according to the commandment of God our Savior, and of Christ Jesus, who is our hope,

To Timothy, my true child in the faith: Grace, mercy and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has strengthened me, because He considered me faithful, putting me into service,

and the grace of our Lord was more than abundant, with the faith and love which are found in Christ Jesus.

It is a trustworthy statement, deserving full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, among whom I am foremost of all.

Yet for this reason I found mercy, so that in me as the foremost, Jesus Christ might demonstrate His perfect patience as an example for those who would believe in Him for eternal life.

For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,

For those who have served well as deacons obtain for themselves a high standing and great confidence in the faith that is in Christ Jesus.

In pointing out these things to the brethren, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, constantly nourished on the words of the faith and of the sound doctrine which you have been following.

I solemnly charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus and of His chosen angels, to maintain these principles without bias, doing nothing in a spirit of partiality.

If anyone advocates a different doctrine and does not agree with sound words, those of our Lord Jesus Christ, and with the doctrine conforming to godliness,

I charge you in the presence of God, who gives life to all things, and of Christ Jesus, who testified the good confession before Pontius Pilate,

that you keep the commandment without stain or reproach until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ,

Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, according to the promise of life in Christ Jesus,

To Timothy, my beloved son: Grace, mercy and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was granted us in Christ Jesus from all eternity,

but now has been revealed by the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus, who abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel,

Retain the standard of sound words which you have heard from me, in the faith and love which are in Christ Jesus.

You therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.

Suffer hardship with me, as a good soldier of Christ Jesus.

Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, descendant of David, according to my gospel,

For this reason I endure all things for the sake of those who are chosen, so that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus and with it eternal glory.

Indeed, all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.

and that from childhood you have known the sacred writings which are able to give you the wisdom that leads to salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

I solemnly charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by His appearing and His kingdom:

Paul, a bond-servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ, for the faith of those chosen of God and the knowledge of the truth which is according to godliness,

To Titus, my true child in a common faith: Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior.

looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus,

whom He poured out upon us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior,

Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother,To Philemon our beloved brother and fellow worker,

Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

because I hear of your love and of the faith which you have toward the Lord Jesus and toward all the saints;

yet for love’s sake I rather appeal to you—since I am such a person as Paul, the aged, and now also a prisoner of Christ Jesus—

Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, greets you,

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.

But we do see Him who was made for a little while lower than the angels, namely, Jesus, because of the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, so that by the grace of God He might taste death for everyone.

Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider Jesus, the Apostle and High Priest of our confession;

Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.

where Jesus has entered as a forerunner for us, having become a high priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.

so much the more also Jesus has become the guarantee of a better covenant.

but Jesus, on the other hand, because He continues forever, holds His priesthood permanently.

By this will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

Therefore, brethren, since we have confidence to enter the holy place by the blood of Jesus,

fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

and to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood, which speaks better than the blood of Abel.

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.

Therefore Jesus also, that He might sanctify the people through His own blood, suffered outside the gate.

Now the God of peace, who brought up from the dead the great Shepherd of the sheep through the blood of the eternal covenant, even Jesus our Lord,

equip you in every good thing to do His will, working in us that which is pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.

James, a bond-servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ,To the twelve tribes who are dispersed abroad: Greetings.
