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

I am in a hard position between the two, having a desire to go away and be with Christ, which is very much better:

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;

Fighting the same fight which you saw in me, and now have word of in me.

Let this mind be in you which was in Christ Jesus,

For this reason God has put him in the highest place and has given to him the name which is greater than every name;

But those things which were profit to me, I gave up for Christ.

Yes truly, and I am ready to give up all things for the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, which is more than all: for whom I have undergone the loss of all things, and to me they are less than nothing, so that I may have Christ as my reward,

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:

Not as if I had even now got the reward or been made complete: but I go on in the hope that I may come to the knowledge of that for which I was made the servant of Christ Jesus.

Brothers, it is clear to me that I have not come to that knowledge; but one thing I do, letting go those things which are past, and stretching out to the things which are before,

By whom this poor body of ours will be changed into the image of the body of his glory, in the measure of the working by which he is able to put all things under himself.

And the peace of God, which is deeper than all knowledge, will keep your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

The things which came to you by my teaching and preaching, and which you saw in me, these things do, and the God of peace will be with you.

Not that I am looking for an offering, but for fruit which may be put to your credit.

I have all things and more than enough: I am made full, having had from Epaphroditus the things which came from you, a perfume of a sweet smell, an offering well pleasing to God.
