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

For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, cease not praying for you, and asking that ye may be filled with the full knowledge of His will, in all wisdom and spiritual understanding,

Which things, having, indeed, a show of wisdom, in will-worship, humility, and severe treatment of the body, are not of any value, against the indulgence of the flesh.

All the things relating to me Tychicus will make known to you, the beloved brother, and faithful minister, and fellow-servant in the Lord;

together with Onesimus, the faithful and beloved brother, who is from among you; they will make known to you all things here.

Epaphras, who is from among you, salutes you, a servant of Christ Jesus, always striving in your behalf in his prayers, that ye may stand perfect and fully assured in all the will of God.
