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

For this cause we also from the day we heard it have not ceased praying for you, and beseeching God that ye may be filled with the knowledge of his will, in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;

Which things indeed hold forth an appearance of wisdom in will-worship, and humility, and bodily mortification, [though] not of any value, [but] a gratification to the flesh.

All my affairs will Tychicus make known unto you, a beloved brother, and faithful minister, and fellow-servant in the Lord:

with Onesimus, that faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you: they will make known unto you all things that have passed here.

Epaphras, one of you, saluteth you, a servant of Christ, always wrestling for you in prayers, that ye may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God.
