being confident of this very thing, that he who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Christ Jesus.

Some indeed proclaim Christ even out of envy and strife, and some also out of good will.

What does it matter? Only that in every way, whether out of false motives or in truth, Christ is proclaimed. I rejoice in this, yes, and will rejoice.

For I know that this will turn out for my deliverance, through your supplication and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,

according to my earnest expectation and hope, that I will in no way be disappointed, but with all boldness, as always, now also Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life, or by death.

But if I live on in the flesh, this will bring fruit from my work; yet I do not make known what I will choose.

Having this confidence, I know that I will remain, yes, and remain with you all, for your progress and joy in the faith,

For it is God who works in you both to will and to work, for his good pleasure.

For I have no one else like-minded, who will truly care about you.

Therefore I hope to send him at once, as soon as I see how it will go with me.

But I trust in the Lord that I myself also will come shortly.

Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, think this way. If in anything you think otherwise, God will also reveal that to you.

who will change our lowly bodies into the likeness of his glorious body, according to the working by which he is able even to subject all things to himself.

Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, Rejoice.

And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.

And the things you learned and received and heard and saw in me, do these things. And the God of peace will be with you.

My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
