Now is there no Jew, neither gentile, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither man nor woman: but ye are all one thing in Christ Jesus.

If ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs by promise.

Because ye are sons, God hath sent the spirit of his son into our hearts, which crieth "Abba, father."

But now, seeing ye know God - yea rather are known of God - how is it that ye turn again unto the weak and beggarly ceremonies, whereunto again ye desire afresh to be in bondage?

Brethren, I beseech you, be ye as I am: for I am as ye are. Ye have not hurt me at all.

They are jealous over you amiss. Yea they intend to exclude you, that ye should be fervent to them ward.

Which things betoken mystery. For these women are two testaments, the one from the mount Sinai, which gendreth unto bondage, which is Hagar.

Brethren, we are, after the manner of Isaac, children of promise:

So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman: but of the freewoman.

Ye are gone quite from Christ as many as are justified by the law, and are fallen from grace.

For the flesh lusteth contrary to the spirit, and the spirit contrary to the flesh. These are contrary one to the other, so that ye cannot do that which ye would.

But and if ye be led of the spirit, then are ye not under the law.

The deeds of the flesh are manifest, which are these: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, wantonness,

They that are Christ's have crucified the flesh, with the appetites and lusts.

Brethren, if any man be fallen by chance into any fault, ye which are spiritual, help to amend him, in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.

While we have, therefore, time; let us do good unto all men, and specially, unto them which are of the household of faith.

For they themselves which are circumcised keep not the law: but desire to have you circumcised that they might rejoice in your flesh.

Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, by the will of God. To the saints which are at Ephesus, and to them which believe on Jesus Christ.

the same in himself to have it declared when the time were full come: that all things, both the things which are in heaven, and also the things which are in earth, should be gathered together, even in Christ. That is to say, in him

in whom we are made heirs, and were thereto predestinate according to the purpose of him which worketh all things after the purpose of his own will:

above all rule, power, and might, and domination, and above all names that are named, not in this world only, but also in the world to come.

even when we were dead by sin, hath quickened us together in Christ - for by grace are ye saved -

For by grace are ye made safe through faith, and that, not of yourselves: For it is the gift of God,

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, unto the which God ordained us before, that we should walk in them.

Wherefore, remember that ye, being in time past gentiles in the flesh, and were called "uncircumcision" to them which are called "circumcision" in the flesh - which circumcision is made by hands -

But now in Christ Jesus, ye which a while ago were far off, are made nigh by the blood of Christ.

Now, therefore, ye are no more strangers and foreigners: but citizens with the saints, and of the household of God,

and are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets - Jesus Christ being the head cornerstone -

in whom ye also are built together, and made a habitation for God in the spirit.

For this cause, I Paul the servant of Jesus Christ am in bonds for your sakes, which are heathen -

by whom we are bold to draw nigh in that trust, which we have by faith on him.

I therefore which am in bonds for the Lord's sake, exhort you, that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called,

being one body, and one spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling.

If so be ye have heard of him, and are taught in him, even as the truth is in Jesus:

Wherefore, put away lying, and speak every man truth unto his neighbor, forasmuch as we are members one of another.

And grieve not the holy spirit of God, by whom ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.

neither filthiness, neither foolish talking, neither jestings, which are not comely: but rather giving of thanks.

Ye were once darkness, but are now light in the Lord. Walk as children of light.

For it is shame even to name those things which are done of them in secret:

but all things, when they are rebuked of the light, are manifest. For whatsoever is manifest, that same is light.

redeeming the time: for the days are evil.

For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.

Paul and Timothy, the servants of Jesus Christ. To all the saints in Christ Jesus which are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons.

So that my bonds in Christ are manifest throughout all the judgment hall: and in all other places;

Insomuch that many of the brethren in the Lord are boldened through my bonds, and dare more largely speak the word without fear.

Some there are which preach Christ of envy and strife, and some of goodwill.

For we are circumcision which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh:

Nevertheless in that whereunto we are come, let us proceed by one rule, that we may be of one accord.

For many walk - of whom I have told you often, and now tell you weeping - that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ,

whose end is damnation, whose God is their belly and whose glory is to their shame, which are worldly minded.

Yea, and I beseech thee faithful yokefellow, help the women which laboured with me in the gospel, and with Clement also, and with others, my labour fellows, whose names are in the book of life.

Furthermore brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things pertain to love, whatsoever things are of honest report, if there be any virtuous thing, if there be any laudable thing, those same have ye in your mind,

I rejoice in the Lord greatly, that now at the last ye are revived again to care for me in that wherein ye were also careful, but ye lacked opportunity.

Salute all the saints in Christ Jesus. The brethren which are with me greet you.

All the saints salute you: and most of all they which are of the emperors household.

To the saints which are at Colossae, and brethren that believe in Christ. Grace be with you and peace from God our father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

for by him were all things created, things that are in heaven, and things that are in earth: things visible, and things invisible: whether they be majesty or lordship, either rule or power.

All things are created by him, and in him, and he is before all things, and in him all things have their being.

if ye continue grounded and established in the faith, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, whereof ye have heard, how that it is preached among all creatures, which are under heaven, whereof I, Paul, am made a minister.

in whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

and ye are complete in him, which is the head of all rule and power.

In whom also ye are circumcised with circumcision made without hands, by putting off the sinful body of the flesh, through the circumcision that is in Christ,

in that ye are buried with him through baptism, in whom ye are also risen again through faith, that is wrought by the operation of God which raised him from death.

which are nothing but shadows of things to come. But the body is in Christ.

Wherefore, if ye be dead with Christ from ordinances of the world: Why as though ye yet lived in the world, are ye led with traditions of them that say

which all perish with the using of them, and are after the commandments, and doctrines of men:

If ye be then risen again with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the righthand of God.

Set your affection on things that are above, and not on things which are on the earth.

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

Mortify therefore your members which are on the earth; fornication, uncleanness, unnatural lust, evil concupiscence, and covetousness which is worshipping of idols:

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

Walk wisely to them that are without, and redeem the time.

with one Onesimus a faithful, and a beloved brother, which is one of you. They shall show you of all things which are a doing here.

and Jesus which is called Justus, which are of the circumcision. These only are my workfellows unto the kingdom of God, which were unto my consolation.

Salute the brethren which are of Laodicea, and salute Nymphas, and the congregation which is in his house.

because we know brethren beloved of God, how that ye are elect.

Ye are witnesses, and so is God, how holily and justly and unblameably we behaved ourselves among you that believe:

For ye brethren became followers of the congregations of God which in Jewry are in Christ Jesus: for ye have suffered like things of your kinsmen, as we ourselves have suffered of the Jews,

which as they killed the Lord Jesus and their own prophets, even so have they persecuted us, and God they please not, and are contrary to all men:

Forasmuch, brethren, as we are kept from you for a season, as concerning the bodily presence - but not in the heart - we enforced the more to see you personally with great desire,

For what is our hope or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Are not ye it in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming?

Yea, ye are our glory and joy.

that no man should be moved in these afflictions. For ye yourselves know that we are even appointed thereunto.

For now are we alive if ye stand steadfast in the Lord.

But as touching brotherly love, ye need not that I write unto you. For ye are taught of God to love one another.

Yea, and that thing verily ye do unto all the brethren, which are throughout all Macedonia. We beseech you brethren that ye increase, more and more,

that ye may behave yourselves honestly toward them that are without and that nothing be lacking unto you.

I would not, brethren, have you ignorant concerning them which are fallen asleep, that ye sorrow not as others do which have no hope.

And this say we unto you in the word of the Lord, that we which live and are remaining in the coming of the Lord, shall not come before they which sleep.

But ye brethren are not in darkness, that that day should come on you as it were a thief.

Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, neither of darkness.

For they that sleep, sleep in the night: and they that be drunken, are drunken in the night.

But let us which are of the day be sober, armed with the breast plate of faith and love, and with hope of salvation as a helmet.

We desire you brethren warn them that are unruly, comfort the feeble minded, forbear the weak, have continual patience toward all men.

Paul, Silvanus and Timothy. Unto the congregation of the Thessalonians, which are in God our father, and in the Lord Jesus Christ.

We are bound to thank God always for you brethren, as it is meet, because that your faith groweth exceedingly, and every one of you swimmeth in love toward another between yourselves,

which is a token of the righteous judgment of God, that ye are counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer.

and to you which are troubled, rest with us; when the Lord Jesus shall show himself from heaven, with his mighty angels,

But we are bound to give thanks always to God for you, brethren, beloved of the Lord, for because that God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation, through sanctifying of the spirit; And through believing the truth:

We have heard say, no doubt, that there are some which walk among you inordinately, and work not at all, but are busybodies.
