Grace be to 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 hath 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 bowels of Jesus Christ.

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

Some indeed preach Christ even from envy and strife; and some also from good will.

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

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

Wherefore God also hath 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 worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.

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

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

For indeed he was sick nigh to 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 from the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith:

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

Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye are otherwise minded, God will reveal even this to 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 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, will keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are honest, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report; if there is any virtue, and if there is any praise, think on these things.

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

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

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

Now to God and our Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
