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

I thank my God upon every remembrance of you??4 always, in every supplication of mine on behalf of you all, making supplication with joy??5 on account of your fellowship for the Gospel, from the first day until now;

having become persuaded of this very thing, that He Who began in you a good work will perfect it until the day of Jesus Christ;

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

being filled with the fruit of righteousness, which is through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

and that the greater part of the brethren, having become confident in the Lord by my bonds, are much more bold to speak the word of God without fear.

Some, indeed, preach Christ even because of envy and strife; and some also of good-will;

and in nothing terrified by the adversaries; which, indeed, to them is a token of destruction, but of your salvation, and this from God;

Who, existing originally in the form of God, accounted it not a prize to he equal with God.

Wherefore also God highly exalted Him, and bestowed upon Him the name which is above every name;

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

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

that ye may become blameless and harmless, children of God, irreproachable in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom ye appear as luminaries in the world,

For, in fact, he was sick, near to death; but God had mercy on him, and not on him only, but on me also, that I might not have sorrow upon sorrow.

For we are the circumcision, who worship by the Spirit of God, and glory in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in flesh:

and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which is of law, but that which is through faith in Christ??he righteousness which is of God by faith:

I am pressing on toward the mark, for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

Let us, therefore, as many as are perfect, think this: and, if in anything ye think differently, even this God will reveal to you;

whose end is destruction, whose god is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who are thinking of earthly things.

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

and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honorable, whatsoever things are righteous, 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.

The things also, which ye learned, and received, and heard, and saw in me, these practice; and the God of peace will be with you.

But I have all, and abound; I have been filled, having received from Epaphroditus the things sent from you, an odor of sweet smell, an acceptable sacrifice, well-pleasing to God.

But my God will liberally supply all your need according to the riches of His glory in Christ Jesus.

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