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

Howbeit, I am minded, brethren, that ye should be, getting to know, that, the things which relate unto myself, rather, unto an advancement of the glad-message, have fallen out,

Only, in a manner worthy of the glad-message of the Christ, be using your citizenship; in order that - whether coming and seeing you, or being absent, I may hear of the things which concern you - that ye are standing fast in one spirit, with one soul, joining for the combat along with the faith of the glad-message;

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;

Having, the same contest, which ye have seen in me, and now hear to be in me.

The same thing, esteem, in yourselves, which also, in Christ Jesus, ye esteem , -

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

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, -

If by any means I may advance to the earlier resurrection, which is from among the dead:

Not that I have, already, received, or have, already, reached perfection, but I am pressing on - if I may even lay hold of that for which I have also been laid hold of by Christ Jesus: -

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

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.
