Which is not another; but there are some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.

We who are Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles,

But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sin? By no means.

Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?

Know ye therefore, that they who are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.

So then they who are of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.

For as many as are of the works of the law, are under the curse: for it is written, Accursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.

But after faith is come, we are no longer under a school-master.

For ye are all children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.

There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.

And if ye are Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.

However then, when ye knew not God, ye did service to them which by nature are no gods.

But now, after ye have known God, or rather are known by God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, to which ye desire again to be in bondage?

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

Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar.

Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.

So then, brethren, we are not children of the bond-woman, but of the free.

Christ is become of no effect to you, whoever of you are justified by the law; ye have fallen from grace.

For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other; so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.

But if ye are led by the Spirit, ye are not under the law.

Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these, Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,

And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh, with the affections and lusts.

Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye who are spiritual, restore such one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.

As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good to all men, especially to them who are of the household of faith.

For neither they themselves who are circumcised keep the law; but desire to have you circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh.

Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints who are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus:

That in the dispensation of the fullness of times he might collect in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:

Even when we were dead in sins, hath made us alive together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)

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

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

Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;

But now, in Christ Jesus, ye, who formerly were far off, are made nigh by the blood of Christ.

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

And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner-stone;

In whom ye also are built together, for a habitation of God through the Spirit.

I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation by which ye are called,

There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;

Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbor: for we are members one of another.

And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed to the day of redemption.

Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.

For ye were sometime darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light;

For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret.

But all things that are reproved, are made manifest by the light: for whatever doth make manifest is light.

Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

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

Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as to Christ;

Paul and Timothy, the servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus who are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons:

Even as it is meet for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart; inasmuch as both in my bonds, and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel, ye all are partakers of my grace.

That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offense till the day of Christ;

Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

So that my bonds in Christ are manifest in all the palace, and in all other places;

And many of the brethren in the Lord, becoming confident by my bonds, are much more bold to speak the word without fear.

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

Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forward to those things which are before,

Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye are otherwise minded, God will reveal even this to you.

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

And I entreat thee also, true yoke-fellow, help those women who labored with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and with other my fellow-laborers, whose names are in the book of life.

Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are honest, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report; if there is any virtue, and if there is any praise, think on these things.

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

All the saints salute you, chiefly they that are of Cesar's household.

To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ who are at Colosse: Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are upon earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:

And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things to himself; by him, I say, whether they are things on earth, or things in heaven.

If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and are not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which hath been preached to every creature which is under heaven; of which I Paul am made a minister;

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

And ye are complete in him, who is the head of all principality and power:

In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ:

Buried with him in baptism, in which also ye are raised with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.

Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.

Wherefore, if ye are dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances,

Which all are to perish with the using;) according to the commandments and doctrines of men?

If ye then be raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.

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

Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; lewdness, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:

And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.

Walk in wisdom towards them that are without, redeeming the time.

With Onesimus, a faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They will make known to you all things which are done here.

And Jesus, who is called Justus, who are of the circumcision. These only are my fellow-workers to the kingdom of God, who have been a comfort to me.

For I bear him testimony, that he hath a great zeal for you, and them that are in Laodicea, and them in Hierapolis.

Salute the brethren who are in Laodicea, and Nymphas, and the church which is in his house.

Ye are witnesses, and God also, how holily, and justly, and unblamably we behaved ourselves among you that believe:

For ye, brethren, became followers of the churches of God which in Judea are in Christ Jesus: for ye also have suffered like things from your own countrymen, even as they have from the Jews:

Who both killed the Lord Jesus, and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they please not God, and are contrary to all men:

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

For ye are our glory and joy.

That no man should be moved by these afflictions: for yourselves know that we are appointed to it.

But concerning brotherly love ye need not that I write to you: for ye yourselves are taught by God to love one another.

And indeed ye do it towards all the brethren who are in all Macedonia: but we beseech you, brethren, that ye increase more and more;

That ye may walk honestly towards them that are without, and that ye may have need of nothing.

But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them who are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others who have no hope.

For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain to the coming of the Lord shall not precede them who are asleep.

Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.

Ye are all children of light, and children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.

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

But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breast-plate of faith and love; and for a helmet, the hope of salvation.

And we beseech you, brethren, to know them who labor among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you;

Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are disorderly, comfort the feeble-minded, support the weak, be patient towards all men.

We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because your faith groweth exceedingly, and the charity of every one of you all towards each other aboundeth;
