Then every tongue in one accord, will say that Jesus the Messiah is Lord, while God the Father praising.

Now I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon so that I can be encouraged when I learn of your condition.

For all the others look after their own interests, not after those of Jesus the Messiah.

For it is we who are the circumcision we who worship in the Spirit of God and find our joy in the Messiah Jesus. We have not placed any confidence in the flesh,

What is more, I continue to consider all these things to be a loss for the sake of what is far more valuable, knowing the Messiah Jesus, my Lord. It is because of him that I have experienced the loss of all those things. Indeed, I consider them rubbish in order to gain the Messiah

It's not that I have already reached this goal or have already become perfect. But I keep pursuing it, hoping somehow to embrace it just as I have been embraced by the Messiah Jesus.

I keep pursuing the goal to win the prize of God's heavenly call in the Messiah Jesus.

Our citizenship, however, is in heaven, and it is from there that we eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus, the Messiah.

Then God's peace, which goes far beyond anything we can imagine, will guard your hearts and minds in union with the Messiah Jesus.

And my God will fully supply your every need according to his glorious riches in the Messiah Jesus.

Greet every saint who is in union with the Messiah Jesus. The brothers who are with me send their greetings to you.

May the grace of the Lord Jesus, the Messiah, be with your spirit! Amen.

From: Paul, an apostle of the Messiah Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother.

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

because we have heard about your faith in the Messiah Jesus and the love that you have for all the saints,

So then, just as you have received the Messiah Jesus the Lord, continue to live dependent on him.

And whatever you do, whether by speech or action, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

Jesus, who is called Justus, also greets you. These are the only ones of the circumcision who are fellow workers for the kingdom of God. They have been an encouragement to me.

Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of the Messiah Jesus, sends you his greetings. He is always wrestling in his prayers for you, so that you may stand mature, completely convinced of the entire will of God.

From: Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy. To: The church of the Thessalonians in union with God the Father and the Lord Jesus, the Messiah. May grace and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus, the Messiah, be yours!

In the presence of our God and Father, we constantly remember how your faith is active, your love is hard at work, and your hope in our Lord Jesus the Messiah is enduring.

and to wait for his Son whom he raised from the dead to come back from heaven. This Jesus is the one who rescues us from the coming wrath.

For you, brothers, became imitators of the churches of God in Judea that are in union with the Messiah Jesus. You suffered the same persecutions from the people of your own country as they did from those Jews

who killed the Lord Jesus and the prophets, who have persecuted us, and who please neither God nor any group of people,

After all, who is our hope, joy, or reason for rejoicing in the presence of our Lord Jesus at his coming? It is you, isn't it?

Now may our God and Father and our Lord Jesus provide a way for us to visit you.

Then your hearts will be strong, blameless, and holy in the presence of God, who is our Father, when our Lord Jesus appears with all his saints.

You know what instructions we gave you through the Lord Jesus.

For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so through Jesus God will bring those who have died with him.

For God has not destined us to receive wrath but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus, the Messiah,

In everything be thankful, because this is God's will for you in the Messiah Jesus.

May the God of peace himself make you holy in every way. And may your whole being spirit, soul, and body remain blameless when our Lord Jesus, the Messiah, appears.

May the grace of our Lord Jesus, the Messiah, be with you! Amen.

From: Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy. To: The church of the Thessalonians in union with God our Father and the Lord Jesus, the Messiah.

May grace and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus, the Messiah, be yours!

and to give us who are afflicted relief when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with his mighty angels

in blazing fire. He will take revenge on those who do not know God and on those who refuse to obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus.

That way the name of our Lord Jesus will be glorified by you, and you by him, according to the grace of our God and Lord, Jesus, the Messiah.

Now we ask you, brothers, regarding the coming of our Lord Jesus, the Messiah, and our gathering together to him,

With this purpose in mind, he called you through our proclamation of the gospel so that you would obtain the glory of our Lord Jesus, the Messiah.

May our Lord Jesus, the Messiah himself, and may God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal comfort and good hope,

In the name of our Lord Jesus, the Messiah, we command you, brothers, to keep away from every brother who is living in idleness and not living according to the tradition that they received from us.

We order and encourage such people by the Lord Jesus, the Messiah, to do their work quietly and to earn their own living.

May the grace of our Lord Jesus, the Messiah, be with all of you. Amen.

From: Paul, an apostle of the Messiah Jesus, by the command of God our Savior and the Messiah Jesus, our hope.

To: Timothy, my genuine child in the faith. May grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and the Messiah Jesus, our Lord, be yours!

I thank the Messiah Jesus, our Lord, who gives me strength, that he has considered me faithful and has appointed me to his service.

and the grace of our Lord overflowed toward me, along with the faith and love that are in the Messiah Jesus.

I am the worst of them. But for that very reason I received mercy, so that in me, as the worst sinner, the Messiah Jesus might demonstrate all of his patience as an example for those who would believe in him for eternal life.

There is one God. There is also one mediator between God and human beings a human, the Messiah Jesus.

Those ministers who serve well gain an excellent reputation for themselves and will have great assurance by their faith in the Messiah Jesus.

If you continue to point these things out to the brothers, you will be a good servant of the Messiah Jesus, nourished by the words of the faith and the healthy teaching that you have followed closely.

With God as my witness, as well as the Messiah Jesus and the chosen angels, I solemnly call on you to carry out these instructions without prejudice, doing nothing on the basis of partiality.

If anyone teaches false doctrine and refuses to agree with the sound words of our Lord Jesus, the Messiah, and godly teaching,

Since you are in the presence of God, who gives life to everything, and in the presence of the Messiah Jesus, who gave a good testimony before Pontius Pilate, I solemnly charge you

to keep these commands stainlessly and blamelessly until the appearance of our Lord Jesus, the Messiah.

From: Paul, an apostle of the Messiah Jesus by God's will in keeping with the promise of life that is in the Messiah Jesus.

To: Timothy, my dear child. May grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and the Messiah Jesus our Lord be yours!

He saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our own accomplishments, but according to his own purpose and the grace that was given to us in the Messiah Jesus before time began.

Now, however, that grace has been revealed through the coming of our Savior the Messiah Jesus, who has destroyed death and through the gospel has brought life and release from death into full view.

Hold on to the pattern of healthy teachings that you have heard from me, along with the faith and love that are in the Messiah Jesus.

As for you, my child, be strong by the grace that is in the Messiah Jesus.

Join me in suffering like a good soldier of the Messiah Jesus.

Meditate on Jesus, the Messiah, who was raised from the dead and is a descendant of David. This is the gospel I tell others.

For that reason, I endure everything for the sake of those who have been chosen so that they, too, may receive the salvation that is in the Messiah Jesus, along with eternal glory.

Indeed, all who want to live a godly life in union with the Messiah Jesus will be persecuted.

From infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures that are able to give you the wisdom you need for salvation through faith in the Messiah Jesus.

In the presence of God and the Messiah Jesus, who is going to judge those who are living and those who are dead, and in view of his appearing and his kingdom, I solemnly appeal to you

From: Paul, a servant of God, and also an apostle of Jesus the Messiah, to bring the faith to those chosen by God, along with full knowledge of the truth that leads to godliness,

To: Titus, a genuine child in the faith that we share. May grace and peace from God the Father and the Messiah, Jesus our Savior, be yours!

as we wait for the blessed hope and glorious appearance of our great God and Savior, Jesus the Messiah.

and poured him out upon us, too, through Jesus the Messiah our Savior true.

1From: Paul, a prisoner of the Messiah Jesus, and Timothy our brother. To: Philemon our dear friend and fellow worker,

May grace and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus, the Messiah, be yours!

because I keep hearing about your love for all the saints and the faith that you have in the Lord Jesus.

I prefer to make my appeal on the basis of love. I, Paul, as an old man and now a prisoner of the Messiah Jesus,

23Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in the Messiah Jesus, sends you greetings,

May the grace of our Lord Jesus, the Messiah, be with your spirit! Amen.

Now when God put everything under him, he left nothing outside his control. However, at the present time we do not yet see everything put under him. But we do see someone who was made a little lower than the angels. He is Jesus, who is crowned with glory and honor because he suffered death, so that by the grace of God he might experience death for everyone.

because both the one who sanctifies and those who are being sanctified all have the same Father. That is why Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers

Therefore, holy brothers, partners in a heavenly calling, keep your focus on Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession.

Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has gone to heaven, Jesus the Son of God, let us live our lives consistent with our confession of faith.

where Jesus, our forerunner, has gone on our behalf, having become a high priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.

but Jesus became a priest with an oath when God told him, "The Lord has taken an oath and will not change his mind. You are a priest forever."

In this way, Jesus has become the guarantor of a better covenant.

But because Jesus lives forever, he has a permanent priesthood.

However, Jesus has now obtained a more superior ministry, since the covenant he mediates is founded on better promises.

By God's will we have been sanctified once and for all through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus, the Messiah.

Therefore, my brothers, since we have confidence to enter the sanctuary by the blood of Jesus,

fixing our attention on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of the faith, who, in view of the joy set before him, endured the cross, disregarding its shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better message than Abel's.

Jesus, the Messiah, is the same yesterday and today and forever!

That is why Jesus, in order to sanctify the people by his own blood, also suffered outside the city gate.

Now may the God of peace, who by the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, the Great Shepherd of the sheep,

equip you with everything good to do his will, accomplishing in us what pleases him through Jesus, the Messiah. To him be glory forever and ever! Amen.

From: James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus, the Messiah. To: The twelve tribes in the Dispersion. Greetings.

My brothers, do not let your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus, the Messiah, be tainted by favoritism.

From: Peter, an apostle of Jesus, the Messiah.

To: The exiles of the Dispersion in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, the people chosen according to the foreknowledge of God the Father through the sanctifying action of the Spirit to be obedient to Jesus, the Messiah, and to be sprinkled with his blood. May grace and peace be yours in abundance!

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus, the Messiah! Because of his great mercy he has granted us a new birth, resulting in an immortal hope through the resurrection of Jesus, the Messiah, from the dead
