But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not give thought to the flesh to do its desires.

And for this purpose Christ went into death and came back again, that he might be the Lord of the dead and of the living.

And if because of food your brother is troubled, then you are no longer going on in the way of love. Do not let your food be destruction to him for whom Christ went into death.

And he who in these things is Christ's servant, is pleasing to God and has the approval of men.

For Christ did not give pleasure to himself, but, as it is said, The bitter words of those who were angry with you came on me.

Now may the God who gives comfort and strength in waiting make you of the same mind with one another in harmony with Christ Jesus:

So that with one mouth you may give glory to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

So then, take one another to your hearts, as Christ took us, to the glory of God.

Now I say that Christ has been made a servant of the circumcision to give effect to the undertakings given by God to the fathers,

To be a servant of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles, doing the work of a priest in the good news of God, so that the offering of the Gentiles might be pleasing to God, being made holy by the Holy Spirit.

So I have pride in Christ Jesus in the things which are God's.

And I will keep myself from talking of anything but those things which Christ has done by me to put the Gentiles under his rule in word and in act,

By signs and wonders, in the power of the Holy Spirit; so that from Jerusalem and round about as far as Illyricum I have given all the good news of Christ;

Making it my purpose not to take the good news where Christ was named, so that my work might not be resting on that of others;

And I am certain that when I come, I will be full of the blessing of Christ.

Now I make request to you, brothers, by our Lord Jesus Christ, and by the love of the Spirit, that you will be working together with me in your prayers to God for me;

Give my love to Prisca and Aquila, workers with me in Christ Jesus,

And say a kind word to the church which is in their house. Give my love to my dear Epaenetus, who is the first fruit of Asia to Christ.

Give my love to Andronicus and Junia, my relations, who were in prison with me, who are noted among the Apostles, and who were in Christ before me.

Give my love to Urbanus, a worker in Christ with us, and to my dear Stachys.

Give my love to Apelles, who has the approval of Christ. Say a kind word to those who are of the house of Aristobulus.

Give one another a holy kiss. All the churches of Christ send their love to you.

For such people are not servants of the Lord Christ, but of their stomachs; and by their smooth and well-said words the hearts of those who have no knowledge of evil are tricked.

And the God of peace will be crushing Satan under your feet before long. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

Now to him who is able to make you strong in agreement with the good news which I gave you and the preaching of Jesus Christ, in the light of the revelation of that secret which has been kept through times eternal,

To the only wise God, through Jesus Christ, be the glory for ever. So be it.
