I

Now I Paul myself, who when present am base among you, but being absent am bold toward you, intreat you, by the meekness and gentleness of Christ,

Behold, I Paul say unto you, If ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.

The

I therefore the prisoner of the Lord beseech you, to walk worthy of the calling wherewith ye are called,

For which I am an ambassador in bonds, that I may speak boldly therein, as I ought to speak.

But before all these things they shall lay their hands on you and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my names sake.

Then the tribune came near, and took him, and commanded him to be bound with two chains, and inquired, Who he was, and what he had done?

as an evil-doer, but the word of God is not bound.

Paul, a prisoner of Jesus Christ, and Timotheus a brother, to Philemon the beloved and our fellow-labourer,
