So we urged Titus that just as he had begun, so he should also complete this grace to you.

But, just as, in everything, ye superabound, - in faith, and discourse, and knowledge, and all earnestness, and in the love among you which proceedeth from us, in order that, in this favour also, ye would superabound.

So now complete the doing of it also, in order that just as there was the readiness to will, so there may be the accomplishment according to your means.

just as it is written, "The [one] who [gathered] much did not have too much, and the [one] who [gathered] little did not have too little."

Therefore shew unto them, and in the presence of the churches, a proof of your love, and of our [just] boasting in you.

But I sent the brothers so our boasting about you in the matter would not prove empty, and so you would be prepared just as I said.

Each one of you should give just as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, because God loves a cheerful giver.

Just as it is written, "He scattered widely, he gave to the poor; his righteousness remains {forever}."

Look these facts in the face. If any man is fully persuaded as regards himself that he belongs to Christ, let him consider again with himself, that just as he is Christ's, so also am I.

Let such a man assure himself that my actions, when I am present, will be just like my words in my letters when I am absent.

But I fear lest, just as the serpent beguiled Eve in his craftiness, so your minds should be seduced from your single-mindedness and purity toward Christ.

But I will continue to do what I am doing, in order to deny the opportunity of those who want an opportunity to be regarded just as our equals in what they boast about.

But when I talk in this boastful confidence, I am not talking in accordance with the way the Lord talked, but just as a fool talks.

To my shame I must say that we have been weak by comparison.But in whatever respect anyone else is bold—I speak in foolishness—I am just as bold myself.

It makes me satisfied, for Christ's sake, with weakness, insults, trouble, persecution, and calamity; for I am strong just when I am weak.

I have said it, and I say it again before I come, just as if I were with you on my second visit, though for the moment absent, I say to those who have been long sinning, as well as to all others--that if I come again, I shall spare no one.

What I have just said I repeat--if any one is preaching to you a Good News other than that which you originally received, let him be accursed.

On the contrary, when they saw that I had been entrusted with the gospel for the uncircumcised, just as Peter has with the gospel for the circumcised

Now when Peter visited Antioch, I remonstrated with him to his face, because he had incurred just censure.

I just want to learn this from you. Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by hearing of faith?

Just as Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him for righteousness,

And it is manifest that by the Law no man is justified in the sight of God. because The just shall live by faith,

Now a mediator is not for just one person, but God is one.

I beg you, brothers, take my point of view, just as I took yours. You did me no injustice then.

Now it is always good to be enthusiastic about good—and not just when I am with you.

But you, brothers, are children of the promise, just as Isaac.

but just as in old times the son born by the flesh used to persecute the son born by the power of the Spirit, so also it is now.

I wish that those who are causing such a problem over wanting people to be circumcised would just mutilate themselves [while they are at it!].

For the cravings of the lower nature are just the opposite to those of the Spirit, and the cravings of the Spirit are just the opposite of those of the lower nature; these two are opposed to each other, so that you cannot do anything you please.

envy, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these, [things] which I am telling you [in advance], just as I said before, that the ones who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

Do not be deceived anymore; God is not to be scoffed at. A person will reap just what he sows, whatever it is.

These men who are keen upon you getting circumcised are just men who want to make a grand display in the flesh ??it is simply to avoid being persecuted for the cross of Christ.

Just as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, for us to be holy and unblemished before him in love.

All of us [Jews] also once lived among such people, fulfilling the improper cravings of our physical being and doing what our bodies and minds desired. In this natural [unconverted] state we were deserving of [God's] wrath, just like the rest [of mankind].

But, just now, in Christ Jesus, ye, who at one time were afar off, were made nigh in the blood of the Christ;

According to revelation the mystery was made known to me, just as I wrote beforehand in brief,

There is one body [of believers] and one Spirit—just as you were called to one hope when called [to salvation]—

So this I say, and affirm together with the Lord, that you walk no longer just as the Gentiles also walk, in the futility of their mind,

if indeed you have heard [about] him, and you were taught by him (just as truth is in Jesus),

And be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving one another, just as God also forgave you in Christ.

and to lead lives of love, just as Christ also loved you and gave himself up for you, an offering and sacrifice unto God, for you, an offering and sacrifice unto God, for "an odor of sweetness."

for a husband is the head of his wife, just as Christ is the Head of the church, His body, and Saviour of it.

Just as the church is subject to Christ, so the married women in everything must be subject to their husbands.

Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself for her,

For no man ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as also Christ the church,

But each one of you must love his wife just as he loves himself, and the wife, too, must respect her husband.

Children, obey your parents in the Lord [that is, accept their guidance and discipline as His representatives], for this is right [for obedience teaches wisdom and self-discipline].

Do not serve them only when you are being watched, just to gain their approval, but as slaves of Christ, doing what God wants from your heart.

Render your service wholeheartedly, as you would to the Lord, and not [just] to people,

and you masters have a just regard to them, by softning your authority: knowing that both their and your master is in heaven, where there is no respect of persons with him.

he who has begun this good work in you will bring it to perfection against the appearance of Christ. it is but just

Just as it is right for me to think this about all of you, because I have you in my heart, both in my bonds and in the defense and confirmation of the good-news, you all being partners with me of the grace.

Then you will be able to approve of [only] what is best and be sincere and without just blame on the day of Christ's [return],

What does it matter? Just that in every way, whether out of false motives or true, Christ is proclaimed. And in this I rejoice. Yes, and I will rejoice

Just one thing: Live your life in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ. Then, whether I come and see you or am absent, I will hear about you that you are standing firm in one spirit, with one mind, working side by side for the faith that comes from the gospel,

each of you not just looking to his own things, but each of you also to the things of others.

Therefore my beloved, just as ye have always obeyed, not only as in my presence, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.

so that you will be without just blame and innocent [of wrongdoing], children of God without fault in the middle of a crooked and perverted generation of people. You must shine among them like stars lighting up the sky,

just as you must be glad and congratulate me.

But you people know about his proven reliability, how he served with me in advancing [the work of] the Gospel just like a son working with his father.

Therefore, I hope [that it is His will] to send him immediately, just as soon as I see how my case turns out;

As far as enthusiasm is concerned, I persecuted the church; as far as being righteous according to the law of Moses is concerned, I was without just blame.

in order to obtain the resurrection of the just.

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.

Brothers, become fellow-imitators of me, and watch those who so walk, just as ye have us for an example.

Finally, believers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable and worthy of respect, whatever is right and confirmed by God’s word, whatever is pure and wholesome, whatever is lovely and brings peace, whatever is admirable and of good repute; if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think continually on these things [center your mind on them, and implant them in your heart].

And you at Philippi know, as well as I, that in the early days of the Good News--at the time when I had just left Macedonia--no Church, with the one exception of yourselves, had anything to do with me as far as giving and receiving are concerned.

You have paid me in full, and more too. I am fully supplied with what I have received from you through Epaphroditus. It is like fragrant incense, just such a sacrifice as God welcomes and approves.

being present for you, just as also in all the world. And it is bearing fruit and increasing, just as also among you from the day that ye heard and recognized the grace of God in truth.

Just as also ye learned from Epaphras our beloved fellow bondman, who is a faithful helper of the Christ for you,

yet now God has reconciled [you] to Himself through the death of Christ's physical body in order to present you holy, without fault and free from just blame before Him [on judgment day].

So, just as you once accepted Christ Jesus as your Lord, you must continue living in vital union with Him,

having been deeply rooted [in Him] and now being continually built up in Him and [becoming increasingly more] established in your faith, just as you were taught, and overflowing in it with gratitude.

See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception [pseudo-intellectual babble], according to the tradition [and musings] of mere men, following the elementary principles of this world, rather than following [the truth—the teachings of] Christ.

forbearing each other, and forgiving yourselves, if any man has a complaint against any, just as also the Christ forgave you, so also ye,

You slaves should obey your earthly masters in everything, [and] do not do it just when they are looking [at you], or to gain their favor, but do it with a sincere heart, out of reverence for the Lord.

In whatever you do, work wholeheartedly, as though it were for the Lord and not [just] for people,

Ye masters! that which is just and equitable, unto your servants, be rendering, knowing that, ye also, have a Master in heaven.

because our gospel did not come to you with word only, but also with power and with the Holy Spirit and with much certainty, just as you know what sort of [people] we became among you for your sake.

For from you the message of the Lord has echoed forth not just in Macedonia and Achaia, but in every place reports of your faith in God have spread, so that we do not need to say anything.

but [after we] had already suffered and been mistreated in Philippi, just as you know, we had the courage in our God to speak to you the gospel of God amid much opposition.

But just as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel [that tells the good news of salvation through faith in Christ], so we speak, not as [if we were trying] to please people [to gain power and popularity], but to please God who examines our hearts [expecting our best].

{For never} did we come with a word of flattery, just as you know, nor with a pretext of greediness (God [is] witness),

You are witnesses??nd so is God??ow pure and just and blameless was my behavior among you believers.

just as ye know, as each one of you as a father of his own children, imploring you, and comforting,

For ye, brothers, became imitators of the congregations of God, which are in Judea in Christ Jesus, because ye also suffered the same things by your own countrymen, just as also they by the Jews.

For also when we were with you we foretold you that we were going to be oppressed, just as it also happened, and ye know.

But now of Timothy, having come to us from you, and having proclaimed good news to us of your faith and love, and that ye always have a good recollection of us, longing to see us, just as we also you,

And may the Lord make you increase and abound in love toward each other, and toward all men, just as also we toward you,

May the Lord strengthen your hearts so you will be [found] without just blame and holy, in the presence of our God and Father, when our Lord Jesus Christ returns with all of His holy ones [i.e., angels. See Mark 8:38; II Thess. 1:7].

Finally therefore, brothers, we ask you, and summon in Lord Jesus, that just as ye received from us how ye ought to walk and to please God, that ye may abound more.

Not with a passion of coveting, - just as even the nations who know not God, -

not to transgress and to exploit his brother in the matter, because the Lord [is] the one who avenges concerning all these [things], just as also we told you beforehand and testified solemnly.

and to aspire to live quietly, and to do your own things, and to work with your own hands, just as we commanded you,

For you yourselves know very well that the Day of the Lord will come just like a thief in the night.

As soon as they begin to say - Peace! and safety! then, suddenly, upon them, cometh destruction, - just as the birth-throe unto her that is with child, - and in nowise shall they escape.

Therefore encourage each other, and build ye up one by one, just as ye also are doing.

And may God Himself, who gives peace, dedicate you completely, and may your spirit, soul and body [i.e., your entire person] be kept without just blame at [i.e., until] the return of our Lord Jesus Christ.

We are oblig'd, my brethren, to render thanks to God continually upon your account, as it is but just; since your faith still improves, and your mutual love is always increasing.

This is a positive proof of the righteous judgment of God [a sign of His fair verdict], so that you will be considered worthy of His kingdom, for which indeed you are suffering.
