That he ascended: what meaneth it, but that he also descended first into the lowest parts of the earth?

But let us follow the truth in love, and in all things grow in him which is the head, that is to say Christ,

But ye have not so learned Christ;

Be angry, but sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath,

Let him that stole, steal no more; but let him rather labour with his hands some good thing, that he may have to give unto him that needeth.

Let no filthy communication proceed out of your mouths: but that which is good to edify withal, when need is, that it may have favour with the hearers.

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.

and have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness: but rather rebuke them.

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

Take heed therefore that ye walk circumspectly - not as fools, but as wise -

Wherefore, be ye not unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is.

And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess: but be fulfilled with the spirit,

to make it unto himself a glorious congregation without spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing: but that it should be holy and without blame.

For no man ever yet, hated his own flesh; but nourisheth, and cherisheth it: even as the Lord doth the congregation.

This is a great secret, but I speak between Christ and the congregation.

And ye fathers, move not your children to wrath: but bring them up with the nurture and information of the Lord.

not with service in the eyesight, as men-pleasers: but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood: but against rule, against power, and against worldly rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness for heavenly things.

But that ye may also know that condition I am in, and what I do, Tychicus my dear brother and faithful minister in the Lord, shall show you of all things,

as I heartily look for and hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed: but that with all confidence, as always in times past, even so now Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be through life, or else death.

For unto you it is given, that not only ye should believe on Christ: but also suffer for his sake,

that nothing be done through strife or vain glory, but that in meekness of mind every man esteem others better than himself,

and that no man consider his own, but what is mete for others.

Wherefore, my dearly beloved, as ye have always obeyed - not when I was present only, but now much more in mine absence - even so work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.

and no doubt he was sick, and that nigh unto death, but God had mercy on him: not on him only, but on me also, lest I should have had sorrow upon sorrow.

But the things that were vantage unto me I counted loss for Christ's sake.

Yea I think all things but loss for that excellent knowledge's sake of Christ Jesus my Lord. For whom I have counted all thing loss, and do judge them but dung, that I might win Christ,

and might be found in him, not having mine own righteousness which is of the law: But that which springeth of the faith which is in Christ. I mean, the righteousness which cometh of God through faith

Not as though I had already attained to it, either were already perfect: but I follow, if that I may comprehend that, wherein I am comprehended of Christ Jesus.

Brethren, I count not myself that I have gotten it: but one thing I say: I forget that which is behind me, and stretch myself unto that which is before me;

But our conversation is in heaven, from whence we look for a saviour, even the Lord Jesus Christ,

Be not careful: but in all things show your petition unto God in prayer and supplication with giving of thanks.

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.

Ye of Philippi know that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no congregation bare part with me as concerning giving and receiving but ye only.

not that I desire gifts: but I desire abundant fruit on your part.

that mystery, hid since the world began, and since the beginning of generations: But now is opened to his saints,

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

But now put ye also away from you all things; wrath, fierceness, maliciousness, cursed speaking, filthy speaking out of your mouths.

Where is neither gentile nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarous or Scythian, bond or free: But Christ is all in all things.

Servants, be obedient unto your bodily masters in all things: not with eye service as men pleasers, but in singleness of heart fearing God.

But he that doth wrong shall receive for the wrong that he hath done: for there is no respect of persons.

For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and also in the holy ghost and in much certainty, as ye know after what manner we behaved ourselves among you, for your sakes.

For from you sounded out the word of the Lord, not in Macedonia and in Achaia only: but your faith also which ye have unto God, spread herself abroad in all quarters, so greatly that it needeth not us to speak anything at all:

but even after that we had suffered before and were shamefully entreated at Philippi - as ye well know - then were we bold in our God to speak unto you the gospel of God, with much striving.

but as we were allowed of God, that the gospel should be committed unto us: even so we speak, not as though we intended to please men, but God, which trieth our hearts.

But were tender among you, even as a nurse cherisheth her children,

so was our affection toward you. Our good will was to have dealt unto you, not the gospel of God only: but also our own souls, because ye were dear unto us.

For this cause thank we God without ceasing, because that when ye received of us the word, wherewith God was preached, ye received it not as the word of man: but even as it was, indeed, the word of God; which worketh in you that believe.

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,

and therefore we would have come unto you, I Paul once and again: but Satan withstood us.

But now lately when Timothy came from you unto us and declared to us your faith, and your love, and how that ye have good remembrance of us always, desiring to see us, as we desire to see you.

For God hath not called us unto uncleanness: but unto holiness.

He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, which hath sent his holy spirit among you.

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

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

Therefore let us not sleep as do others: but let us watch and be sober.

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.

For God hath not appointed us unto wrath: but to obtain salvation by the means of our Lord Jesus Christ,

See that none recompense evil for evil unto any man: but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men.

that all they might be damned which believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

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:

but the Lord is faithful, which shall establish you, and keep you from evil.

Neither took we bread of any man for nought: but wrought with labour and travail night and day, because we would not be grievous to any of you:

not but that we had authority: but to make ourselves an example unto you, to follow us.

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

And count him not as an enemy: but warn him as a brother.

understanding this, how that the law is not given unto a righteous man, but unto the unrighteous and disobedient, to the ungodly and to sinners, to unholy and unclean, to murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, to manslayers

when before I was a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and a tyrant. But I obtained mercy because I did it ignorantly, through unbelief:

but with such as becometh women that profess the worshipping of God through good works.

I suffer not a woman to teach, neither to have authority over the man: but for to be in silence.

Also Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived, and was in transgression.

not drunken, no fighter, not given to filthy lucre: but gentle, abhorring fighting, abhorring covetousness,

but having the mystery of the faith in pure conscience.

Even so must their wives be honest, not evil speakers: but sober, and faithful in all things.

But and if I tarry long, that then thou mayst yet have knowledge how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the congregation of the living God, the pillar and ground of truth.

But cast away unghostly and old wives' fables. Exercise thyself unto godliness.

For bodily exercise profiteth little: But godliness is good unto all things, as a thing which hath promises of the life that is now, and of the life to come.

For therefore we labour and suffer rebuke, because we believe in the living God, which is the saviour of all men: but specially of those that believe.

Let no man despise thy youth; but be unto them that believe, an example: in word, in conversation, in love, in spirit, in faith and in pureness.

Rebuke not an elder: but exhort him as a father, and the younger men as brethren,

but she that liveth in pleasure, is dead even yet alive.

And also they learn to go from house to house idle, yea not idle only, but also trifling and busybodies, speaking things which are not comely.

Against an elder receive none accusation: but under two or three witnesses.

Drink no longer water, but use a little wine, for thy stomach's sake, and thine often diseases.

See that they which have believing masters despise them not because they are brethren: but so much the rather do service, forasmuch as they are believing and beloved and partakers of the benefits. These things teach and exhort.

he is puffed up and knoweth nothing: but wasteth his brains about questions, and strife of words, whereof spring envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings

But thou, which art the man of God, flee such things. Follow righteousness, godliness, love, patience, and meekness.

Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not exceeding wise, and that they trust not in the uncertain riches, but in the living God, which giveth us abundantly all things to enjoy them,

For God hath not given to us the spirit of fear: but of power, and of love, and of soberness of mind.

Be not ashamed to testify our Lord, neither be ashamed of me, which am bound for his sake: but suffer adversity with the gospel also through the power of God,

which saved us, and called us with a holy calling, not according to our deeds, but according to his own purpose and grace, which grace was given us through Christ Jesus before the world was,

but is now declared openly by the appearing of our saviour Jesus Christ, which hath put away death, and hath brought life and immortality unto light through the gospel,

but when he was at Rome he sought me out very diligently, and found me.

wherein I suffer trouble as an evil doer, even unto bonds. But the word of God was not bound.

Of these things put them in remembrance, and testify before the Lord, that they strive not about words, which is to no profit, but to pervert the hearers.

But the sure ground of God remaineth, and hath this seal: the Lord knoweth them that are his, and let every man that calleth on the name of Christ, depart from iniquity.

Notwithstanding, in a great house are not only vessels of gold and of silver: but also of wood and of earth: Some for honour, and some unto dishonour.

But if a man purge himself from such fellows, he shall be a vessel sanctified unto honour meet for the Lord, and prepared unto all good works.

Foolish and unlearned questions put from thee, remembering that they do but gender strife.
