Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother,

We always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you,

because we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love which you have for all the saints,

Therefore as you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so live in him,

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

and also Jesus who is called Justus. These are the only men of the circumcision among my fellow workers for the kingdom of God, and they have proved to be a comfort to me.

Epaphras, who is one of your number, a servant of Jesus Christ, sends you his greetings, always laboring earnestly for you in his prayers, that you may stand mature and fully assured in all the will of God.
