Let no corrupt communication go forth out of your mouth, but if anything is good unto edification of need, in order that he may give grace to those who hear.

that it may be well with you, and you may live long upon the earth.

knowing that if each one may do good, he will receive this with the Lord, whether bond or free.

Put on the panoply of God, that you may be able to stand against the methods of the devil,

Therefore take the panoply of God, that you may be able to stand in the evil day, and having done all things, to stand.

and for me that the word may be given unto me in opening of my mouth, boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel,

for which I am an ambassador in chain; in order that in it I may preach boldly, as it behooves me to speak.

But in order that you may also know the things concerning me, how I am doing, Tychicus, my beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord, will make known to you:

whom I sent to you unto this same thing, in order that you may know the affairs concerning us, and he may comfort your hearts.

I thank my God for every mention of you,

always in all my prayer with joy making supplication,

as it is righteous for me to think in behalf of you all, because I have you in my heart, both in my bonds and in the defence and confirmation of the gospel, that you are all my fellow-partakers of the grace.

For God is my witness, how I long after you in the affections of Jesus Christ.

And I pray this, that your divine love may yet more and more abound in perfect knowledge and all understanding;

in order that you may distinguish those things which differ; that you may be pure and without offence in the day of Christ;

But I wish you, brethren, to know that the affairs appertaining to me have turned out rather unto the promotion of the gospel.

So that my bonds in Christ are manifest in all the pretorian army, and to all the rest;

and many of the brethren in the Lord, being confident through my bonds, are bold to speak the word of God more fluently without fear.

the former from self-seeking are proclaiming Christ insincerely, thinking that they will add affliction to my bonds.

For I know that this will turn out to me unto salvation, through your prayer and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,

according to my earnest expectation and hope, that I shall be ashamed in nothing, but with all boldness, as always, even now Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life, or by death.

For Christ is my life, and death is my gain.

But if to live in the flesh, this shall be to me the fruit of the work, indeed I know not what I shall ask.

in order that your rejoicing in Christ Jesus may abound in me through my coming again unto you.

having the same conflict as you saw in me, and now hearing me.

fill my joy, that you may think the same thing, having the same divine love, being like-minded, thinking this one thing;

So, my beloved brethren, as you have always harkened, not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling;

in order that you may be blameless and pure, the children of God, irreproachable, amid a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world,

having the word of life; unto my boasting in the day of Christ, because I did not run in vain, neither did I labor in vain.

but you also rejoice in this same thing, and rejoice along with me.

But I hope in the Lord Jesus, speedily to send unto you Timothy, in order that I may also be delighted, having learned the things concerning you.

But you know his integrity, that, as a child a father, he served along with me in the gospel.

Indeed then I hope to send him, so soon as I may learn the things concerning myself:

But I thought it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother and fellow-laborer and fellow-soldier, and apostle and the minister of my necessity;

For he was indeed nigh unto death: but God had mercy on him; and not only him, but me also, in order that I may not have sorrow upon sorrow.

Therefore I the more diligently, in order that, seeing him, you may rejoice again, and I may not be without sorrow.

because he was nigh unto death on account of the work of Christ, having jeoparded his life, in order that he might fulfill your deficiency of ministry towards me.

Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you indeed is not burdensome to me, but it is safe to you.

Those things which were gained to me, these I counted loss for the sake of Christ.

Yes truly, I even counted all things loss on account of the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for the sake of whom I suffer the loss of all things, and I consider them but excrements, that I may gain Christ,

and may be found in him, not having my own righteousness, which is of law, but that which is through faith of Christ, the righteousness of God through faith:

if perchance I may attain unto the resurrection which is out from the dead.

Not that I already received it, or have already been made perfect: but I persevere, if I may receive that for which I have indeed been received by Christ Jesus.

Be ye my imitators, brethren, and mark those thus walking about as you have us an example.

So, my beloved and longed for brethren, my joy and my crown, stand fast in the Lord, beloved.

Yea, I also entreat thee, noble yoke-fellow, assist those women, whosoever labored with me in the gospel, both along with Clement, and the rest of my fellow-workers, whose names are in the book of life.

Whatsoever things you have indeed learned and received and heard and seen in me, do the same: and the God of peace will be with you.

But I greatly rejoice in the Lord, because indeed you have at length revived to think about me; in whatsoever you indeed were thinking, nevertheless you lacked opportunity.

I can do all things through him who fills me up with dynamite.

Moreover you did beautifully, communicating with my tribulation.

And you indeed know, O Philippians, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I came out from Macedonia, no church communicated with me in the word of giving and receiving, except you alone;

because also in Thessalonica both once and twice you sent to my need.

But my God will supply all your need according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

Salute every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren who are with me salute you.

Therefore we, from the day on which we heard, do not cease praying for you, and asking that you may be filled with the perfect knowledge of his will in all wisdom, and spiritual understanding,

that you may walk worthily of the Lord in all loyalty, in every good work bearing fruit, and increasing in the perfect knowledge of God.

and himself is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the first begotten from the dead, in order that in all things himself may be preeminent:

Now I rejoice in sufferings in your behalf, and am filling up the residue of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh in behalf of his body, which is the church;

whose minister I became, according to the economy of God which was given to me unto you, to fulfill the word of God,

whom we preach, admonishing every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, in order that we may present every man perfect in Christ;

unto which I also labor, agonizing according to his energy, working in me with power.

For I wish you to know how great a conflict I have in behalf of you, and those in Laodicea, and so many as have not seen my face in the flesh;

in order that their hearts may be comforted, being knitted together in divine love, and in all the riches of the full assurance of understanding, unto the perfect knowledge of the mystery of God, of Christ,

I say this in order that no one may deceive you with a persuasive speech.

when Christ, your life, may appear, then will you also appear with him in glory.

forbearing one another and forgiving one another, if any one may have a quarrel against any one; as Christ also forgave you, so indeed do you likewise:

and every thing whatsoever you may do, in word or in work, do all things in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

Ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath, in order that they may not be discouraged.

Whatsoever you may do, work from your soul, as for the Lord, and not for men;

at the same time also praying for us, in order that God may open to us the door of the word, to speak the mystery of Christ, on account of which I indeed am bound;

in order that I may manifest the same, as it behooves me to speak.

Let your word be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how it behooves you to answer each one.

Tychicus, my beloved brother, and faithful minister and fellow-laborer in the Lord, will make known to you all things which appertain to me:

whom I sent unto you for this same thing, in order that you may know the things concerning us, and he may comfort your hearts;

Aristarchus my fellow-soldier salutes you, and Mark the cousin of Barnabas concerning whom you received commandments; if he may come to you, receive him;

and Jesus, called Justus, who being of the circumcision: these are my only fellow-laborers in the kingdom of God, who have been made a comfort to me.

Epaphras, who is from you, the servant of Jesus Christ, always agonizing in your behalf in his prayers, in order that you may stand perfect even having been fully carried away in all the will of God, salutes you.

And when the letter may be read by you, cause that it may also be read in the church of the Laodiceans; and that you may also read the letter from Laodicea.

And say to Archippus; Take heed to the ministry which you received in the Lord, that you may fill it.

Salutation of me Paul with my own hand. Remember my bonds. Grace be with you.

but we were gentle in the midst of you, as if a nurse may cherish her children;

forbidding that we should speak to the Gentiles in order that they may be saved; that they may fill up their sins always: but the wrath is come upon them to the uttermost.

Because we wish to come to you, I Paul indeed both once and twice; and Satan hindered me.

Therefore I indeed, no longer containing, sent that I might know your faith, lest perhaps the tempter tempted you, and our labor may be in vain.

night and day praying incessantly that we may see your face, and perfect the deficiencies of your faith?

Finally therefore, brethren, we pray you and exhort you in the Lord Jesus, that as you received from us how it behooves you to walk about and to please God, as you do indeed walk about, in order that you may abound more and more.

in order that you may walk about circumspectly toward the aliens, and you may have need of nothing.

For we do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who are asleep; in order that you may not sorrow, even as those having no hope.

When they may say, Peace and safety, then sudden destruction comes on them, as travail upon a woman in gestation; and they can not escape.

But you, brethren, are not in darkness, that the day may overtake you like a thief:

See that no one may return evil for evil to any one; but always pursue good toward one another, and toward all.

And the God of peace himself sanctify you wholly; and may your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless, in the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

the manifestation of the righteous judgment of God, that you may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you indeed suffer:

when he may come to be glorified among his saints, and among all those who believe, to be wondered at in that day, because our testimony was believed by you.

Unto which indeed we are praying incessantly for you, in order that our God may count you worthy of the calling, and may fulfill all the good pleasure of his goodness and work of faith, with power;

in order that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace of our God and our Lord Jesus Christ.

Let no one deceive you in any way: because unless there may first be an apostasy and the man of lawlessness may be revealed, the son of perdition,

For already the mystery of lawlessness is working: only there is one now hindering, until he may be taken out of the midst;

in order that they may all be condemned who did not believe the truth, but took pleasure in unrighteousness.

Finally, brethren, pray for us in order that the word of the Lord may run and be glorified, as even unto you:
