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

I thank my God for my whole remembrance of you,

having confidence of this very thing, that he who has begun in you a good work will complete it unto Jesus Christ's day:

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

being complete as regards the fruit of righteousness, which is by Jesus Christ, to God's glory and praise.

and that the most of the brethren, trusting in the Lord through my bonds, dare more abundantly to speak the word of God fearlessly.

Some indeed also for envy and strife, but some also for good will, preach the Christ.

and not frightened in anything by the opposers, which is to them a demonstration of destruction, but of your salvation, and that from God;

who, subsisting in the form of God, did not esteem it an object of rapine to be on an equality with God;

Wherefore also God highly exalted him, and granted him a name, that which is above every name,

and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to God the Father's glory.

for it is God who works in you both the willing and the working according to his good pleasure.

that ye may be harmless and simple, irreproachable children of God in the midst of a crooked and perverted generation; among whom ye appear as lights in the world,

But I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timotheus to you shortly, that I also may be refreshed, knowing how ye get on.

For I have no one like-minded who will care with genuine feeling how ye get on.

for he was also sick close to death, but God had mercy on him, and not indeed on him alone, but also on me, that I might not have sorrow upon sorrow.

For we are the circumcision, who worship by the Spirit of God, and boast in Christ Jesus, and do not trust in flesh.

and that I may be found in him, not having my righteousness, which would be on the principle of law, but that which is by faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God through faith,

Not that I have already obtained the prize, or am already perfected; but I pursue, if also I may get possession of it, seeing that also I have been taken possession of by Christ Jesus.

Brethren, I do not count to have got possession myself; but one thing forgetting the things behind, and stretching out to the things before,

I pursue, looking towards the goal, for the prize of the calling on high of God in Christ Jesus.

As many therefore as are perfect, let us be thus minded; and if ye are any otherwise minded, this also God shall reveal to you.

whose end is destruction, whose god is the belly, and their glory in their shame, who mind earthly things:)

Be careful about 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 every understanding, shall guard your hearts and your thoughts by Christ Jesus.

For the rest, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are noble, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are amiable, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue and if any praise, think on these things.

What ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, these things do; and the God of peace shall be with you.

But I have all things in full supply and abound; I am full, having received of Epaphroditus the things sent from you, an odour of sweet savour, an acceptable sacrifice, agreeable to God.

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

But to our God and Father be glory to the ages of ages. Amen.
