Let him that is taught in the word impart to him that teacheth in all good things.

Be not deceived; God is not mocked; for whatsoever a man soweth, that also shall he reap.

Therefore as we have opportunity, let us do good unto all men; but especially to them who are of the houshold of faith.

But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world is crucified to me, and I unto the world.

And as many as walk by this rule, peace be upon them and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.

Paul an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints who are at Ephesus,

and to the faithful in Christ Jesus, Grace be to you, and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places through Christ,

Having predestinated us to the adoption of sons to himself by Jesus Christ, according to the good pleasure of his will,

in all wisdom and prudence, Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in himself,

That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, through the knowledge of him.

But God who is rich in mercy,

it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.

For we are his workmanship, created through Christ Jesus unto good works, which God had before prepared, that we might walk in them.

being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise; having no hope, and without God in the world.

And might reconcile both in one body to God through the cross, having slain the enmity thereby.

Therefore ye are no longer strangers, and foreigners, but fellow-citizens with the saints and of the houshold of God,

On whom ye also are built together, for an habitation of God through the Spirit.

For this cause I Paul, a prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles, (Seeing ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God,

Of which I have been made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given to me by the effectual working of his power.

And to let all men see, what is the fellowship of the mystery, which was hidden from the beginning of the world by God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:

That the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known by the church to the principalities and powers in heavenly places,

that ye may be filled with all the fulness of God.

One God, and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in all.

Till we all come to the unity of the faith and knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:

Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God, by the ignorance that is in them, through the hardness of their hearts:

And to put on the new man, which is created after God, in righteousness and true holiness.

Let him that stole, steal no more; but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.

Let no corrupt discourse proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good, to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace to the hearers.

And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.

And be ye kind one to another, tender-hearted; forgiving one another; as God also for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.

Be ye therefore followers of God, as beloved children: And walk in love,

as Christ also hath loved us, and given himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God of a sweet-smelling savour.

For this ye know, that no whoremonger, or unclean person, or covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

Let no one deceive you with vain words; for because of these things the wrath of God cometh upon the sons of disobedience.

Giving thanks always for all things to God even the Father, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,

Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.

Not with eye-service, as men-pleasers, but as servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart,

With good will doing service as unto the Lord, and not to men:

Knowing that whatsoever good each man doth, the same shall he receive from the Lord, whether he be a servant or free.

Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

Wherefore take to you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

which is the word of God, Praying alway by the Spirit with all prayer and supplication, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints,

Peace be to the brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Grace be unto you, and peace from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

I thank my God upon every mention of you,

Being persuaded of this very thing, that he who hath begun a good work in you, will perfect it until the day of Jesus Christ,

For God is my witness, how I long for you all, with the bowels of Jesus Christ.

Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are through Christ Jesus, to the glory and praise of God.

Some indeed preach Christ even through envy and strife; but some through good will.

This also is of God. For to you it is given, with regard to Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for him:

Who being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God;

Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and hath given him a name which is above every name,

And every tongue might confess, that Jesus Christ is Lord in the glory of God the Father.

For it is God that worketh in you according to his good pleasure, both to will and to do.

That ye may be blameless and simple, the sons of God, unrebukable, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world,

He was indeed sick nigh unto death; but God had mercy on him; and not on him only, but on me likewise, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow.

beware of the concision, For we are the circumcision, who worship God in the spirit, and glory in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.

that I may gain Christ, And be found in him, not having my own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith:

But one thing I do, forgetting the things that are behind, and reaching forth unto the things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, be thus minded; and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.

whose god is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame;

Be careful for nothing, but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God:

And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report: if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things:

Which also ye have learned and received, and heard and seen in me; these do: and the God of peace shall be with you.

But I have all things, and abound: I am filled, having received of Epaphroditus the things which came from you, an odour of a sweet smell, an acceptable sacrifice, well pleasing to God.

And my God shall supply all your need, according to his riches in glory through Christ Jesus.

Now unto our God and Father be glory for ever and ever.

Paul an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timotheus a brother,

To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ at Colosse, grace be unto you, and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.

We give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, (praying always for you,

of which ye heard before in the word of truth, Which is come to you, as also it is in all the world, and bringeth forth fruit, as it hath done likewise among you, from the day ye heard it, and knew the grace of God in truth:

That ye may walk worthy of the Lord, unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;

Who is the image of the invisible God, the first begotten of every creature.

Of which I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God, which is given me for you, fully to preach the word of God:

To whom among the Gentiles it was the will of God to make known, what is the riches of this glorious mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:

That their hearts may be comforted, being knit together in love, even unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, unto the acknowledgment of the mystery of God,

Buried with him in baptism, by which ye are also risen with him, through the faith of the operation of God, who raised him from the dead.

And not holding the head, from which all the body being nourished and knit together, by the joints and ligaments, increaseth with the increase of God.

If ye then are risen with Christ, seek the things above, where Christ sitteth at the right-hand of God.

For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.

For which things the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:

Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, long-suffering:

And the peace of God shall rule in your hearts, to which also ye are called in one body: and be ye thankful.

And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks unto God and the Father through him.

Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eye-service, as men-pleasers, but in singleness of heart, fearing God.

Withal, praying likewise for us, that God would open to us a door of utterance, to speak the mystery of Christ: for which I am also in bonds:

receive him,) And Jesus, called Justus, who are of the circumcision: these are the only fellow-workers unto the kingdom of God, who have been a comfort to me.

Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ, saluteth you, always labouring fervently for you in prayer, that ye may stand, perfect and filled, with all the will of God.

Paul and Silvanus and Timotheus to the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, Grace be unto you and Peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

We give thanks to God always for you all (making mention of you in our prayers,

Remembring without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of our God and Father:

) Knowing, beloved brethren, your election of God.

For from you the word of the Lord sounded forth, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but your faith toward God went abroad in every place also, so that we need not speak any thing.

For they themselves declare concerning us, what manner of entrance to you we had, and how ye turned from idols to God,

to serve the living and true God, And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he hath raised from the dead, even Jesus, who delivereth us from the wrath to come.

and had been shamefully intreated at Philippi, as ye know, we were bold thro' our God to speak to you the gospel of God with much contention.

But as we have been approved of God to be intrusted with the gospel, so we speak, not as pleasing men, but God who trieth our hearts.

For neither at any time used we flattering words, as ye know, nor a cloak of covetousness: God is witness:
