Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by God’s will, and Timothy our brother:

For this reason also, since the day we heard this, we haven’t stopped praying for you. We are asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding,

I am saying this so that no one will deceive you with persuasive arguments.

When the Messiah, who is your life, is revealed, then you also will be revealed with Him in glory.

knowing that you will receive the reward of an inheritance from the Lord. You serve the Lord Christ.

For the wrongdoer will be paid back for whatever wrong he has done, and there is no favoritism.

Tychicus, our dearly loved brother, faithful servant, and fellow slave in the Lord, will tell you all the news about me.

He is with Onesimus, a faithful and dearly loved brother, who is one of you. They will tell you about everything here.
