that ye might accept things most excellent, that ye might be pure and such as should hurt no man's conscience, until the day of Christ;

that nothing be done through strife or vain glory, but that in meekness of mind every man esteem others better than himself,

and that no man consider his own, but what is mete for others.

Nevertheless, he made himself of no reputation, and took on him the shape of a servant, and became like unto men, and was found in his apparel as a man.

Wherefore, my dearly beloved, as ye have always obeyed - not when I was present only, but now much more in mine absence - even so work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.

For I have no man that is so like minded to me, which with so pure affection careth for your matters.

though I have whereof I might rejoice in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, much more I:

and might be found in him, not having mine own righteousness which is of the law: But that which springeth of the faith which is in Christ. I mean, the righteousness which cometh of God through faith

Let your softness be known unto all men. The Lord is even at hand.
