But I hope that you shall know that we are not reprobates.

But we are praying unto God, that he may do you no evil, not in order that we may appear approved, but that you may do that which is good, and we may be as disapproved.

Therefore being absent I write these things, in order that being present, I may not use severity, according to the power which the Lord has given me for edification, and not for destruction.

who gave Himself for our sins, in order that he might redeem us from the present evil age, according to the will of God even our Father:

I am astonished that you are so quickly removed from him who called you in the grace of Christ into another gospel;

But indeed if we, or an angel from heaven, may preach unto you any other gospel except that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.

As we have before said, and now again I tell you, If any one preaches to you a gospel except that which you have received, let him be accursed.

But I make known to you, brethren, the gospel was preached to me, that it is not according to a man;

For you have heard of my life formerly in Judaism, that I was persecuting the church of God exceedingly, and destroying it:

to reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the Gentiles; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:

Which things moreover I write unto you, behold, before God, that I lie not.

But they were only hearing that The one persecuting us at one time is now preaching the faith which he was once desolating;

but on account of the false brethren having crept in, who came in to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, in order that they shall bring us into bondage:

to whom I rendered not submission for an hour; in order that the truth of the gospel may abide with you.

But of those seeming to be something what they were at that time makes no difference to me: God does not receive the face of man: for those seeming to me to be prominent added nothing extra:

but on the contrary, seeing that I am intrusted with the gospel of the uncircumcision, like Peter of the circumcision,

and having known the grace of God which was given unto me, James and Cephas and John, who seem to be pillars, gave to me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, that we should go to the Gentiles, and they to the circumcision;

only that we should remember the poor; which very thing I was also zealous to do.

And the rest of the Jews also reciprocated with him; so that even Barnabas was led away by their dissimulation.

But when I saw that they are not walking uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas in the presence of all, If you being a Jew are living like the Gentiles and not like the Jews, how do you compel the Gentiles to judaize?

knowing that a man is not justified by works of law, but through the faith of Christ Jesus, and we have believed into Christ Jesus, in order that we may be justified by faith of Christ, and not by works of law, because by works of law no flesh shall be justified.

For I through law died to law, in, order that I may live unto God.

Then know that those who are of faith, the same are the sons of Abraham.

But the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel to Abraham beforehand, That in thee shall all the Gentiles be blessed.

But that no one is justified by law in the sight of God, is evident: because, The just shall live by faith:

in order that the blessing of Abraham in Christ Jesus may come to the Gentiles; in order that we may receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

but the scripture has shut up all things unto sin, in order that the promise through faith of Jesus Christ may be given to those who believe.

Therefore the law became our schoolmaster to lead us to Christ, in order that we may be justified by faith;

Behold I Paul say unto you, that, if you may be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.

And again I witness to every man who is circumcised, that he is debtor to do the whole law.

You were running well; who did hinder you that you should not obey the truth?

I have confidence in reference to you in the Lord, that you shall be none otherwise minded: but the one troubling you shall bear the judgment, whosoever he may be.

I would that those troubling you shall indeed cut themselves off.

But if you bite and devour one another, take heed that you may not be consumed one of another.

For carnality wars against the Spirit, and the Spirit against carnality; for these are antagonistical to one another; so that you may not do the things which you may wish.

envyings, drunkenness, revellings, and things like unto these: which I tell you beforehand, as I did previously say to you, that those doing such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

Be not deceived; God is not mocked. For whatsoever a man may sow, that shall he also reap:

But let us not get weary doing that which is good: for in due time we will reap, fainting not.

So many as wish to make a fair show in the flesh, these compel you to be circumcised; only that they do not suffer persecution on account of the cross of Christ.

For neither do those who are circumcised keep the law; but they wish you to be circumcised, in order that they may glory in your flesh.

as he elected us in himself before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless in his presence.

that we should be unto the praise of his glory, who first exercised hope in Christ:

in order that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of the glory, may grant unto you the spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the perfect knowledge of himself;

the eyes of your heart having been enlightened, that you may know what is the hope of his calling, what the riches of the glory of his inheritance among the saints,

in order that he may show in coming ages the superabounding riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.

For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

not of works, in order that no one may boast:

for we are his workmanship, having been created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God before prepared that we should walk in them.

Therefore remember, that when you were Gentiles in the flesh, called Uncircumcision by that which is called Circumcision, made in the flesh with hands;

because you were at that time without Christ, being alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers of the covenants of the promise, having no hope and being atheists in the world.

having destroyed the law of commandments in ordinances, through his flesh, the enmity, in order that He might create the two in himself into one new man, making peace;

and that he may reconcile both in one body to God through the cross, having slain the enmity on in.

But what is that which ascended, except that which descended into the lower parts of the earth?

But the one having descended and the one having ascended above all the heavens, that he might fill all things, is the same.

in order that we may be no longer infants, tossed by the waves and carried about by every wind of teaching, in the caprice of the people, in their craftiness, pursuant to their method of delusion;

Therefore I say this, and witness in the Lord, that you no longer walk about as the Gentiles also walk about in the vanity of their mind,

that with reference to your former life, you are to lay aside the old man, who is corrupt in the lusts of deception;

Let the one stealing steal no more: but rather let him labor, working with his own hands doing that which is good, that he may have to give to the one having need.

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.

for you are knowing this, that no fornicator, or unclean person, or covetous, who is an idolater, has an inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

in order that he might sanctify her, having purified her by the washing of water through the word,

in order that he might present to himself the glorious church, having not spot or wrinkle or any of such things; but that she might be holy and blameless.

Moreover you also each one thus love his own wife with divine love as himself; and that the wife also reverence the husband.

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.

And, ye masters, do the same things to them, forbearing threatening: knowing that their Master and yours is in the heavens, and that there is no respect of persons with him.

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.

having confidence as to this same thing, that the one having begun a good work in you will perfect it unto the day of Jesus Christ:

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.

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;

the latter from divine love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel:

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

For what is it? moreover that in every place, whether in pretext or in truth, Christ is proclaimed; and I rejoice in this, yes, and I will rejoice.

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.

And having confidence in this, I know that I shall abide with you all, unto your promotion and the joy of your faith;

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

Only live worthily of the gospel of Christ: in order that, whether coming and seeing you or being absent, I hear those things concerning you, that you are standing in one spirit, with one soul contending for the faith of the gospel;

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

that nothing is to be according to self-seeking nor according to vain glory, but in humility esteeming one another better than yourselves;

looking not each after your own interests, but each after that of others.

that at the name of Jesus every knee must bow, of things in heaven and things upon the earth and things beneath the earth,

and every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, unto the glory of God the Father.

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,

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.

but I trust in the Lord that I myself will come speedily.

since he was longing after you all, and grieving, because you heard that he was sick.

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.

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,
