Paul, an Apostle of Jesus Christ, by the purpose of God, and Timothy our brother,

We give praise to God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, making prayer for you at all times,

After hearing of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which you have for all the saints,

As, then, you took Christ Jesus the Lord, so go on in him,

And whatever you do, in word or in act, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving praise to God the Father through him.

And Jesus, whose other name is Justus; these are of the circumcision: they are my only brother-workers for the kingdom of God, who have been a comfort to me.

Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ Jesus, sends you his love, ever taking thought for you in his prayers, that you may be complete and fully certain of all the purpose of God.
