always, in every supplication of mine for you all, with joy making the supplication,

for your contribution to the good news from the first day till now,

according as it is righteous for me to think this in behalf of you all, because of my having you in the heart, both in my bonds, and in the defence and confirmation of the good news, all of you being fellow-partakers with me of grace.

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

for your proving the things that differ, that ye may be pure and offenceless -- to a day of Christ,

and the other out of love, having known that for defence of the good news I am set:

For I have known that this shall fall out to me for salvation, through your supplication, and the supply of the Spirit of Christ Jesus,

for to me to live is Christ, and to die gain.

for I am pressed by the two, having the desire to depart, and to be with Christ, for it is far better,

Only worthily of the good news of the Christ conduct ye yourselves, that, whether having come and seen you, whether being absent I may hear of the things concerning you, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one soul, striving together for the faith of the good news,

For, let this mind be in you that is also in Christ Jesus,

So that, my beloved, as ye always obey, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, with fear and trembling your own salvation work out,

for God it is who is working in you both to will and to work for His good pleasure.

the word of life holding forth, for rejoicing to me in regard to a day of Christ, that not in vain did I run, nor in vain did I labour;

for I have no one like-minded, who sincerely for the things concerning you will care,

for the whole seek their own things, not the things of the Christ Jesus,

for he also ailed nigh to death, but God did deal kindly with him, and not with him only, but also with me, that sorrow upon sorrow I might not have.

As to the rest, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord; the same things to write to you to me indeed is not tiresome, and for you is sure;

for we are the circumcision, who by the Spirit are serving God, and glorying in Christ Jesus, and in flesh having no trust,

Not that I did already obtain, or have been already perfected; but I pursue, if also I may lay hold of that for which also I was laid hold of by the Christ Jesus;

to the mark I pursue for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

for many walk of whom many times I told you -- and now also weeping tell -- the enemies of the cross of the Christ!

For our citizenship is in the heavens, whence also a Saviour we await -- the Lord Jesus Christ --

So then, my brethren, beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand ye in the Lord, beloved.

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

And I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at length ye flourished again in caring for me, for which also ye were caring, and lacked opportunity;

not that in respect of want I say it, for I did learn in the things in which I am -- to be content;

For all things I have strength, in Christ's strengthening me;
