and to cause all to see what is the fellowship of the secret that hath been hid from the ages in God, who the all things did create by Jesus Christ,

in whom we have the freedom and the access in confidence through the faith of him,

of whom the whole family in the heavens and on earth is named,

and to Him who is able above all things to do exceeding abundantly what we ask or think, according to the power that is working in us,

one God and Father of all, who is over all, and through all, and in you all,

he who went down is the same also who went up far above all the heavens, that He may fill all things --

and, being true in love, we may increase to Him in all things, who is the head -- the Christ;

from whom the whole body, being fitly joined together and united, through the supply of every joint, according to the working in the measure of each single part, the increase of the body doth make for the building up of itself in love.

who, having ceased to feel, themselves did give up to the lasciviousness, for the working of all uncleanness in greediness;

for this ye know, that every whoremonger, or unclean, or covetous person, who is an idolater, hath no inheritance in the reign of the Christ and God.

wherefore he saith, 'Arouse thyself, thou who art sleeping, and arise out of the dead, and the Christ shall shine upon thee.'

so ought the husbands to love their own wives as their own bodies: he who is loving his own wife -- himself he doth love;

whom I did send unto you for this very thing, that ye might know the things concerning us, and that he might comfort your hearts.

Paul and Timotheus, servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus who are in Philippi, with overseers and ministrants;

having been confident of this very thing, that He who did begin in you a good work, will perform it till a day of Jesus Christ,

who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal to God,

for God it is who is working in you both to will and to work for His good pleasure.

that ye may become blameless and harmless, children of God, unblemished in the midst of a generation crooked and perverse, among whom ye do appear as luminaries in the world,

for I have no one like-minded, who sincerely for the things concerning you will care,

for we are the circumcision, who by the Spirit are serving God, and glorying in Christ Jesus, and in flesh having no trust,

yes, indeed, and I count all things to be loss, because of the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, because of whom of the all things I suffered loss, and do count them to be refuse, that Christ I may gain, and be found in him,

for many walk of whom many times I told you -- and now also weeping tell -- the enemies of the cross of the Christ!

whose end is destruction, whose god is the belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who the things on earth are minding.

who shall transform the body of our humiliation to its becoming conformed to the body of his glory, according to the working of his power, even to subject to himself the all things.

and I ask also thee, genuine yoke-fellow, be assisting those women who in the good news did strive along with me, with Clement also, and the others, my fellow-workers, whose names are in the book of life.

as ye also learned from Epaphras, our beloved fellow-servant, who is for you a faithful ministrant of the Christ,

who also did declare to us your love in the Spirit.

Giving thanks to the Father who did make us meet for the participation of the inheritance of the saints in the light,

who did rescue us out of the authority of the darkness, and did translate us into the reign of the Son of His love,

in whom we have the redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of the sins,

who is the image of the invisible God, first-born of all creation,

And himself is the head of the body -- the assembly -- who is a beginning, a first-born out of the dead, that he might become in all things -- himself -- first,

to whom God did will to make known what is the riches of the glory of this secret among the nations -- which is Christ in you, the hope of the glory,

whom we proclaim, warning every man, and teaching every man, in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus,

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

and ye are in him made full, who is the head of all principality and authority,

in whom also ye were circumcised with a circumcision not made with hands, in the putting off of the body of the sins of the flesh in the circumcision of the Christ,

being buried with him in the baptism, in which also ye rose with him through the faith of the working of God, who did raise him out of the dead.

and having put on the new, which is renewed in regard to knowledge, after the image of Him who did create him;

The servants! obey in all things those who are masters according to the flesh, not in eye-service as men-pleasers, but in simplicity of heart, fearing God;

and he who is doing unrighteously shall receive what he did unrighteously, and there is no acceptance of persons.

whom I did send unto you for this very thing, that he might know the things concerning you, and might comfort your hearts,

with Onesimus the faithful and beloved brother, who is of you; all things to you shall they make known that are here.

Salute you doth Aristarchus, my fellow-captive, and Marcus, the nephew of Barnabas, (concerning whom ye did receive commands -- if he may come unto you receive him,)

and Jesus who is called Justus, who are of the circumcision: these only are fellow-workers for the reign of God who did become a comfort to me.

Salute you doth Epaphras, who is of you, a servant of Christ, always striving for you in the prayers, that ye may stand perfect and made full in all the will of God,

and to wait for His Son from the heavens, whom He did raise out of the dead -- Jesus, who is rescuing us from the anger that is coming.

but as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the good news, so we speak, not as pleasing men, but God, who is proving our hearts,

ye are witnesses -- God also -- how kindly and righteously, and blamelessly to you who believe we became,

for your walking worthily of God, who is calling you to His own reign and glory.

Because of this also, we -- we do give thanks to God continually, that, having received the word of hearing from us of God, ye accepted, not the word of man, but as it is truly, the word of God, who also doth work in you who believe;

who did both put to death the Lord Jesus and their own prophets, and did persecute us, and God they are not pleasing, and to all men are contrary,

because of this also, I, no longer forbearing, did send to know your faith, lest he who is tempting did tempt you, and in vain might be our labour.

he, therefore, who is despising -- doth not despise man, but God, who also did give His Holy Spirit to us.

for ye do it also to all the brethren who are in all Macedonia; and we call upon you, brethren, to abound still more,

And I do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, that ye may not sorrow, as also the rest who have not hope,

for this to you we say in the word of the Lord, that we who are living -- who do remain over to the presence of the Lord -- may not precede those asleep,

then we who are living, who are remaining over, together with them shall be caught away in clouds to meet the Lord in air, and so always with the Lord we shall be;

for when they may say, Peace and surety, then sudden destruction doth stand by them, as the travail doth her who is with child, and they shall not escape;

who did die for us, that whether we wake -- whether we sleep -- together with him we may live;

stedfast is He who is calling you, who also will do it.

and to you who are troubled -- rest with us in the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven, with messengers of his power,

who shall suffer justice -- destruction age-during -- from the face of the Lord, and from the glory of his strength,

who is opposing and is raising himself up above all called God or worshipped, so that he in the sanctuary of God as God hath sat down, shewing himself off that he is God -- the day doth not come.

for the secret of the lawlessness doth already work, only he who is keeping down now will hinder -- till he may be out of the way,

and then shall be revealed the Lawless One, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the manifestation of his presence,

that they may be judged -- all who did not believe the truth, but were well pleased in the unrighteousness.

and may our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and our God and Father, who did love us, and did give comfort age-during, and good hope in grace,

and stedfast is the Lord, who shall establish you, and shall guard you from the evil;

And I give thanks to him who enabled me -- Christ Jesus our Lord -- that he did reckon me stedfast, having put me to the ministration,

who before was speaking evil, and persecuting, and insulting, but I found kindness, because, being ignorant, I did it in unbelief,

stedfast is the word, and of all acceptation worthy, that Christ Jesus came to the world to save sinners -- first of whom I am;

of whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I did deliver to the Adversary, that they might be instructed not to speak evil.

for kings, and all who are in authority, that a quiet and peaceable life we may lead in all piety and gravity,

who doth will all men to be saved, and to come to the full knowledge of the truth;

who did give himself a ransom for all -- the testimony in its own times --

for those who did minister well a good step to themselves do acquire, and much boldness in faith that is in Christ Jesus.

for for this we both labour and are reproached, because we hope on the living God, who is Saviour of all men -- especially of those believing.

honour widows who are really widows;

And she who is really a widow and desolate, hath hoped upon God, and doth remain in the supplications and in the prayers night and day,

and she who is given to luxury, living -- hath died;

and those having believing masters, let them not slight them, because they are brethren, but rather let them serve, because they are stedfast and beloved, who of the benefit are partaking. These things be teaching and exhorting;

I charge thee, before God, who is making all things alive, and of Christ Jesus, who did testify before Pontius Pilate the right profession,

who only is having immortality, dwelling in light unapproachable, whom no one of men did see, nor is able to see, to whom is honour and might age-during! Amen.

Those rich in the present age charge thou not to be high-minded, nor to hope in the uncertainty of riches, but in the living God, who is giving to us all things richly for enjoyment; --

I am thankful to God, whom I serve from progenitors in a pure conscience, that unceasingly I have remembrance concerning thee in my supplications night and day,

who did save us, and did call with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace, that was given to us in Christ Jesus, before the times of the ages,

and was made manifest now through the manifestation of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who indeed did abolish death, and did enlighten life and immortality through the good news,

for which cause also these things I suffer, but I am not ashamed, for I have known in whom I have believed, and have been persuaded that he is able that which I have committed to him to guard -- to that day.

thou hast known this, that they did turn from me -- all those in Asia, of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes;

and the things that thou didst hear from me through many witnesses, these things be committing to stedfast men, who shall be sufficient also others to teach;

no one serving as a soldier did entangle himself with the affairs of life, that him who did enlist him he may please;

and their word as a gangrene will have pasture, of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus,

who concerning the truth did swerve, saying the rising again to have already been, and do overthrow the faith of some;

sure, nevertheless, hath the foundation of God stood, having this seal, 'The Lord hath known those who are His,' and 'Let him depart from unrighteousness -- every one who is naming the name of Christ.'

without natural affection, implacable, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, not lovers of those who are good,

and all also who will to live piously in Christ Jesus shall be persecuted,

And thou -- be remaining in the things which thou didst learn and wast entrusted with, having known from whom thou didst learn,

I do fully testify, then, before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who is about to judge living and dead at his manifestation and his reign --

of whom also do thou beware, for greatly hath he stood against our words;
