Favour unto you, and peace, from God our Father and Lord Jesus Christ.

I am giving thanks unto my God, on occasion of all my remembrance of you,

Being persuaded of this very thing - that, he who hath begun 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.

Filled with that fruit of righteousness which is through Jesus Christ unto the glory and praise of God.

And so that , the most of the brethren in the Lord, assured by my bonds, are becoming more abundantly bold to be fearlessly speaking the word of God: -

Some, indeed, by reason of envy and strife - some, however, by reason of good will - are proclaiming, the Christ:

And not being affrighted in anything by the opposers, - the which, is, unto them, a token of destruction, although of your salvation, and this from God;

Who, in form of God, subsisting, not, a thing to be seized, accounted the being equal with God,

Wherefore also, God, uplifted him far on high, and favoured him with the name which is above every name, -

And, every tongue, might openly confess - that Jesus Christ is, Lord, unto the glory of God the Father.

For it is, God, who energiseth within you, both the desiring and the energising, in behalf of his good pleasure.

In order that ye may become faultless and inviolate, children of God, blameless amidst a crooked and perverted generation, amongst whom ye appear as luminaries in the world,

And, in fact, he was sick, nigh unto death; but, God, had mercy on him, - and, not on him only, but, on me also, lest, sorrow upon sorrow, I should have.

For, we, are the circumcision, who in the Spirit of God, are doing divine service, and are boasting in Christ Jesus, and, not in flesh, having confidence, -

And be found in him - not having a righteousness of my own, that which is by law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is, of God, upon my faith, -

To get to know him, and the power of his resurrection and fellowship of his sufferings, becoming conformed unto his death, -

With the goal in view, I press on for the prize of the upward calling of God in Christ Jesus.

As many, therefore, as are full-grown, let, this, be our resolve; and, if, somewhat differently, ye are resolved, this, also, shall, God, unto you reveal.

Whose, end, is destruction, whose, God, is the belly, and whose , glory, is in their shame, who, upon the earthly things, are resolved.

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

And, the peace of God, which riseth above every mind, shall guard your hearts and your thoughts, in Christ Jesus.

For the rest, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are dignified, whatsoever things are righteous, whatsoever things are chaste, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report, - if there be any virtue, and if any praise, the same, be taking into account;

The things which ye have both learned, and accepted, and heard, and seen in me, the same, practise; - and, the God of peace, shall be with you.

But I have all things in full, and have more than enough, I am filled, having welcomed from Epaphroditus the things that came from you, - a fragrance of sweet smell, an acceptable sacrifice, well pleasing unto God.

And, my God, will fill up your every need, according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

Now, unto our God and Father, be the glory - unto the ages of ages. Amen!
