I PAUL, an apostle of Jesus Christ, by the will of God, I and Timothy my brother,

For this reason, we also, from the day in which we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to request that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will, in all wisdom and spiritual understanding,

and these have a show of wisdom in will-worship and affected humility and neglect of the body, and in no regard for the gratification of the flesh.

knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance: for you serve the Lord Christ.

All that relates to me, Tychicus, my beloved brother and faithful minister and fellow-servant in the Lord, will make known to you.

I have sent him with Onesimus, my faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They will make known all things that are done here.

Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ, salutes you; he always strives earnestly for you in his prayers, that you may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God.
