Being full of the fruits of righteousness, which are through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

So that it became clear through all the Praetorium, and to all the rest, that I was a prisoner on account of Christ;

But those are preaching Christ in a spirit of competition, not from their hearts, but with the purpose of giving me pain in my prison.

For I am conscious that this will be for my salvation, through your prayer and the giving out of the stored wealth of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,

So that your pride in me may be increased in Christ Jesus through my being present with you again.

Having no fear of those who are against you; which is a clear sign of their destruction, but of your salvation, and that from God;

If then there is any comfort in Christ, any help given by love, any uniting of hearts in the Spirit, any loving mercies and pity,

Doing nothing through envy or through pride, but with low thoughts of self let everyone take others to be better than himself;

And be seen in him, not having my righteousness which is of the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:

For there are those, of whom I have given you word before, and do so now with sorrow, who are haters of the cross of Christ;

Whose end is destruction, whose god is the stomach, and whose glory is in their shame, whose minds are fixed on the things of the earth.

For the rest, my brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things have honour, whatever things are upright, whatever things are holy, whatever things are beautiful, whatever things are of value, if there is any virtue and if there is any praise, give thought to these things.

I am able to do all things through him who gives me strength.

Give words of love to every saint in Christ Jesus. The brothers who are with me send you their love.

All the saints send their love to you, specially those who are of Caesar's house.
