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

I thank my God upon every remembrance of you,

Being confident of this very thing, that he who has begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:

For God is my witness, how greatly I long after you all in the affections of Jesus Christ.

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

Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will:

And in nothing terrified by your adversaries: which is to them an evident token of destruction, but to you of salvation, and that of God.

Who, being in the form of God, thought it not a thing to be grasped to be equal with God:

Therefore God also has highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:

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

For it is God who works in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.

That you may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom you shine as lights in the world;

But I trust in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy shortly unto you, that I also may be of good comfort, when I know your state.

For indeed he was sick near unto death: but God had mercy on him; and not on him only, but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow.

For we are the circumcision, who worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.

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

I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

Let us therefore, as many as would be perfect, be thus minded: and if in anything you be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.

Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)

Be anxious for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

And the peace of God, which passes 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.

Those things, which you have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.

But I have all, and abound: I am full, having received of Epaphroditus the things which were sent from you, a fragrant offering, a sacrifice acceptable, well pleasing to God.

But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

Now unto God and our Father be glory forever and ever. Amen.
