There are bodies which are celestial and there are bodies which are earthly, but the glory of the celestial ones is one thing, and that of the earthly ones is another.
There is one glory of the sun, another of the moon, and another of the stars; for star differs from star in glory.
What the earthy one is, that also are those who are earthy; and what the heavenly One is, that also are those who are heavenly.
And as we have borne a resemblance to the earthy one, let us see to it that we also bear a resemblance to the heavenly One.
On the first day of every week let each of you put on one side and store up at his home whatever gain has been granted to him; so that whenever I come, there may then be no collections going on.

I beseech you, on your part, to show deference to such men, and to every one who participates in their work and toils hard.
The brethren all send greetings to you. Greet one another with a holy kiss.
If any one is destitute of love to the Lord, let him be accursed. OUR LORD IS COMING.
But if, on the one hand, we are enduring affliction, it is for your comfort and salvation; and if, on the other hand, we are receiving comfort, it is for your comfort which is produced within you through your patient fortitude under the same sufferings as those which we also are enduring.
But He who is making us as well as you stedfast through union with the Anointed One, and has anointed us, is God,
Now if any one has caused sorrow, it has been caused not so much to me, as in some degree--for I have no wish to exaggerate--to all of you.

For against one thing we are on our guard--I mean against blame being thrown upon us in respect to these large and liberal contributions which are under our charge.
Still I send the brethren in order that in this matter our boast about you may not turn out to have been an idle one; so that, as I have said, you may be ready;
For we have not the 'courage' to rank ourselves among, or compare ourselves with, certain persons distinguished by their self-commendation. Yet they are not wise, measuring themselves, as they do, by one another and comparing themselves with one another.
I am jealous over you with God's own jealousy. For I have betrothed you to Christ to present you to Him like a faithful bride to her one husband.
If indeed some visitor is proclaiming among you another Jesus whom we did not proclaim, or if you are receiving a Spirit different from the One you have already received or a Good News different from that which you have already welcomed, your toleration is admirable!
And when I was with you and my resources failed, there was no one to whom I became a burden--for the brethren when they came from Macedonia fully supplied my wants--and I kept myself from being in the least a burden to you, and will do so still.
To return to what I was saying. Let no one suppose that I am foolish. Or if you must, at any rate make allowance for me as being foolish, in order that I, as well as they, may boast a little.
For you tolerate it, if any one enslaves you, lives at your expense, makes off with your property, gives himself airs, or strikes you on the face.
I use the language of self-disparagement, as though I were admitting our own feebleness. Yet for whatever reason any one is 'courageous' --I speak in mere folly--I also am courageous.
From the Jews I five times have received forty lashes all but one.
Of such a one I will boast; but of myself I will not boast, except in my weaknesses.
If however I should choose to boast, I should not be a fool for so doing, for I should be speaking the truth. But I forbear, lest any one should be led to estimate me more highly than what his own eyes attest, or more highly than what he hears from my lips.
Have I gained any selfish advantage over you through any one of the messengers I have sent to you?
I begged Titus to visit you, and sent our other brother with him. Did Titus gain any selfish advantage over you? Were not he and I guided by one and the same Spirit, and did we not walk in the same steps?

Salute one another with a holy kiss.
What I have just said I repeat--if any one is preaching to you a Good News other than that which you originally received, let him be accursed.
Answer me this one question, "Is it on the ground of your obedience to the Law that you received the Spirit, or is it because, when you heard, you believed?"
All who are depending upon their own obedience to the Law are under a curse, for it is written, "Cursed is every one who does not remain faithful to all the precepts of the Law, and practise them."
It is evident, too, that no one can find acceptance with God simply by obeying the Law, because "the righteous shall live by faith,"
Christ has purchased our freedom from the curse of the Law by becoming accursed for us--because "Cursed is every one who is hanged upon a tree."
(Now the promises were given to Abraham and to his seed. God did not say 'and to seeds,' as if speaking of many, but 'and to your seed,' since He spoke of only one--and this is Christ.)
But there cannot be a mediator where only one individual is concerned.
God, however, is only one. Is the Law then opposed to the promises of God? No, indeed; for if a Law had been given which could have conferred Life, righteousness would certainly have come by the Law.
In Him the distinctions between Jew and Gentile, slave and free man, male and female, disappear; you are all one in Christ Jesus.
But at one time, you Gentiles, having no knowledge of God, were slaves to gods which in reality do not exist.
For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the slave-girl and one by the free woman.
All this is allegorical; for the women represent two Covenants. One has its origin on Mount Sinai, and bears children destined for slavery.
Yet just as, at that time, the child born in the common course of nature persecuted the one whose birth was due to the power of the Spirit, so it is now.
You however, brethren, were called to freedom. Only do not turn your freedom into an excuse for giving way to your lower natures; but become bondservants to one another in a spirit of love.
But if you are perpetually snarling and snapping at one another, beware lest you are destroyed by one another.
Let us not become vain-glorious, challenging one another, envying one another.
Brethren, if anybody be detected in any misconduct, you who are spiritual should restore such a one in a spirit of meekness. And let each of you keep watch over himself, lest he also fall into temptation.
Always carry one another's burdens, and so obey the whole of Christ's Law.
For if there is any one who thinks himself to be somebody when he is nobody, he is deluding himself.
From this time onward let no one trouble me; for, as for me, I bear, branded on my body, the scars of Jesus as my Master.
to the praise of the splendour of His grace with which He has enriched us in the beloved One.
for the government of the world when the times are ripe for it--the purpose which He has cherished in His own mind of restoring the whole creation to find its one Head in Christ; yes, things in Heaven and things on earth, to find their one Head in Him.
so that it may be impossible for any one to boast.
Therefore, do not forget that formerly you were Gentiles as to your bodily condition. You were called the Uncircumcision by those who style themselves the Circumcised--their circumcision being one which the knife has effected.
For He is our peace--He who has made Jews and Gentiles one, and in His own human nature has broken down the hostile dividing wall,
by setting aside the Law with its commandments, expressed, as they were, in definite decrees. His design was to unite the two sections of humanity in Himself so as to form one new man,
thus effecting peace, and to reconcile Jews and Gentiles in one body to God, by means of His cross--slaying by it their mutual enmity.
because it is through Him that Jews and Gentiles alike have access through one Spirit to the Father.
I mean the truth that the Gentiles are joint heirs with us Jews, and that they form one body with us, and have the same interest as we have in the promise which has been made good in Christ Jesus through the Good News,
with all lowliness of mind and unselfishness, and with patience, bearing with one another lovingly, and earnestly striving to maintain,
There is but one body and but one Spirit, as also when you were called you had one and the same hope held out to you.
There is but one Lord, one faith, one baptism,
and one God and Father of all, who rules over all, acts through all, and dwells in all.
Dependent on Him, the whole body--its various parts closely fitting and firmly adhering to one another-- grows by the aid of every contributory link, with power proportioned to the need of each individual part, so as to build itself up in a spirit of love.
For this reason, laying aside falsehood, every one of you should speak the truth to his fellow man; for we are, as it were, parts of one another.
On the contrary learn to be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving one another, just as God in Christ has also forgiven you.
Let no one deceive you with empty words, for it is on account of these very sins that God's anger is coming upon the disobedient.
but drink deeply of God's Spirit. Speak to one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs. Sing and offer praise in your hearts to the Lord.
and submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.
"For this reason a man is to leave his father and his mother and be united to his wife, and the two shall be as one."
You well know that whatever right thing any one does, he will receive a requital for it from the Lord, whether he is a slave or a free man.
And you masters, act towards your slaves on the same principles, and refrain from threats. For you know that in Heaven there is One who is your Master as well as theirs, and that merely earthly distinctions there are none with Him.
And besides all these take the great shield of faith, on which you will be able to quench all the flaming darts of the Wicked one;
Only let the lives you live be worthy of the Good News of the Christ, in order that, whether I come and see you or, being absent, only hear of you, I may know that you are standing fast in one spirit and with one mind, fighting shoulder to shoulder for the faith of the Good News.
If then I can appeal to you as the followers of Christ, if there is any persuasive power in love and any common sharing of the Spirit, or if you have any tender-heartedness and compassion, make my joy complete by being of one mind,
united by mutual love, with harmony of feeling giving your minds to one and the same object.
Do nothing in a spirit of factiousness or of vainglory, but, with true humility, let every one regard the rest as being of more account than himself;
For I have no one likeminded with him, who will cherish a genuine care for you.
although I myself might have some excuse for confidence in outward ceremonies. If any one else claims a right to trust in them, far more may I:
Brethren, I do not imagine that I have yet laid hold of it. But this one thing I do--forgetting everything which is past and stretching forward to what lies in front of me,
Brethren, vie with one another in imitating me, and carefully observe those who follow the example which we have set you.
I entreat Euodia, and I entreat Syntyche, to be of one mind, as sisters in Christ.
Let your forbearing spirit be known to every one--the Lord is near.
My Christian greetings to every one of God's people. The brethren who are with me send their greetings.
Him we preach, admonishing every one and instructing every one, with all possible wisdom, so that we may bring every one into God's presence, made perfect through Christ.
