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

Because of this we also, from the day that we heard, cease not praying for you and making request that ye may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding.

Take heed lest there will be any man taking you captive through the love of wisdom and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the rudiments of the world, and not according to Christ.

Which having, are indeed a matter of wisdom in will-worship, and self-mortification, and austerity of the body--not in any value against indulgence of the flesh.

When the Christ, our life, is made known, then ye also will be made known with him in glory.

knowing that from Lord ye will receive the reward of the inheritance, for ye serve the Lord Christ.

And he who does wrong will be recompensed what he did wrong, and there is no partiality.

Tychicus will make known to you all things about me, the beloved brother and faithful helper and fellow bondman in Lord.

with Onesimus, the faithful and beloved brother who is of you. They will make known to you all things here.

Epaphras, the bondman of Christ from you, salutes you, always striving for you in prayers, so that ye may stand perfect and made full in all the will of God.
