Grace be unto you, and peace from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

I thank my God upon every mention of you,

Being persuaded of this very thing, that he who hath begun a good work in you, will perfect it until the day of Jesus Christ,

For God is my witness, how I long for you all, with the bowels of Jesus Christ.

Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are through Christ Jesus, to the glory and praise of God.

Some indeed preach Christ even through envy and strife; but some through good will.

This also is of God. For to you it is given, with regard to Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for him:

Who being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God;

Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and hath given him a name which is above every name,

And every tongue might confess, that Jesus Christ is Lord in the glory of God the Father.

For it is God that worketh in you according to his good pleasure, both to will and to do.

That ye may be blameless and simple, the sons of God, unrebukable, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world,

He was indeed sick nigh unto death; but God had mercy on him; and not on him only, but on me likewise, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow.

beware of the concision, For we are the circumcision, who worship God in the spirit, and glory in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.

that I may gain Christ, And be found in him, not having my own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith:

Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, be thus minded; and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.

whose god is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame;

Be careful for nothing, but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God:

And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report: if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things:

Which also ye have learned and received, and heard and seen in me; these do: and the God of peace shall be with you.

But I have all things, and abound: I am filled, having received of Epaphroditus the things which came from you, an odour of a sweet smell, an acceptable sacrifice, well pleasing to God.

And my God shall supply all your need, according to his riches in glory through Christ Jesus.

Now unto our God and Father be glory for ever and ever.
