But now that you have come to have knowledge of God, or more truly, God has knowledge of you, how is it that you go back again to the poor and feeble first things, desiring to be servants to them again?

Their interest in you is not good; but their desire is that you may be shut out, so that you may go after them.

But what does the passage of Scripture say? 'Send away the slave-woman and her son; for the slave's son shall not be co-heir with the son of the free woman.'

I feel persuaded in the Lord that you will not go wrong. But he who unsettles you will have to meet his doom, no matter who he is.

I would that they that unsettle you would even go beyond circumcision.

But I say, Go on in the Spirit, and you will not come under the rule of the evil desires of the flesh.

If we [claim to] live by the [Holy] Spirit, we must also walk by the Spirit [with personal integrity, godly character, and moral courage—our conduct empowered by the Holy Spirit].

In whom we have redemption by his blood, the letting go of faults, according to the riches of his grace;

in which you once walked. You were following the ways of this world [influenced by this present age], in accordance with the prince of the power of the air (Satan), the spirit who is now at work in the disobedient [the unbelieving, who fight against the purposes of God].

which in other generations was not made known to men, as it is now revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit; that the Gentiles should be co-heirs,

The Gentiles are coheirs, members of the same body, and partners of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel.

For this cause I go down on my knees before the Father,

(But what does "He ascended" mean if not that He also [first] descended to the lower parts of the earth [i.e., to the earth below]? [Note: Of the three principal interpretations given to this verse: a) Christ descended to earth, b) Christ descended to the grave, c) Christ descended to Mary's womb. The first is to be preferred. See John 3:13; 6:38, 62].

But, on the other hand, we shall go on holding to the truth and in love growing up into perfect union with Him, that is, Christ Himself who is the Head.

This I say, then, and give witness in the Lord, that you are to go no longer in the way of the Gentiles whose minds are turned to that which has no profit,

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

Let no corrupt word go out of your mouth, but if there be any good one for needful edification, that it may give grace to those that hear it.

Do not, then, become co-partners with them;

For this cause will a man go away from his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.

so that it may go well with you and that you may have a long life in the land.

And, lords, do ye the same things to them, letting go threatening: knowing that also your own Lord is in the heavens; and distinction of persons is not with him.

And put on your shoes, ready to [go and] spread the Gospel of peace.

over your co-operation in the good news from the day you first received it until now.

For of this I am confident, that He who has begun a good work within you will go on to perfect it in preparation for the day of Jesus Christ.

For to me, to go on living is the Messiah, and to die is gain.

But if I go on living in the flesh--if this is the fruit of my work--then I do not see what decision to make.

I am in a hard position between the two, having a desire to go away and be with Christ, which is very much better:

Still, to go on in the flesh is more necessary because of you.

I am convinced of this, and I know that I shall remain, and shall go on working side by side with you all, to promote your progress and joy in the faith;

For they all go after what is theirs, not after the things of Christ.

Him therefore I hope to send presently, so soon as I shall see how it will go with me.

But I am fully persuaded in [harmony with the wishes of] the Lord that I, myself, also will go to you soon. [Note: Paul here expresses the hope of being released from imprisonment, in spite of previous hints that he might be put to death. See 1:20; 2:17].

But I considered it necessary to send you Epaphroditus—my brother, coworker, and fellow soldier, as well as your messenger and minister to my need—

But indeed therefore I even consider all things to be loss because of the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, because of whom I suffered the loss of all things, and consider them to be rubbish, so that I may gain C

Not as if I had even now got the reward or been made complete: but I go on in the hope that I may come to the knowledge of that for which I was made the servant of Christ Jesus.

Brothers, it is clear to me that I have not come to that knowledge; but one thing I do, letting go those things which are past, and stretching out to the things which are before,

I go forward to the mark, even the reward of the high purpose of God in Christ Jesus.

Yes, I also ask you, true partner, to help these women who have contended for the gospel at my side, along with Clement and the rest of my coworkers whose names are in the book of life.

I know [how] both {to make do with little} and I know [how] {to have an abundance}. In everything and in all [things] I have learned the secret both to be filled and to be hungry, both {to have an abundance} and to go without.

All the saints salute you, chiefly they that are of C?sar's houshold.

As, then, you took Christ Jesus the Lord, so go on in him,

Because of which the wrath of God comes on those who go against his orders;

Aristarchus my fellow-prisoner salutes you, and Mark the nephew of Barnabas,??oncerning whom you received commandments, if he comes to you receive him,??11 and Jesus called Justus, who are of the circumcision; these are the only co-laborers for the kingdom of God who have been a comfort to me.

and so does Jesus who is called Justus. These alone of the circumcision are my coworkers for the kingdom of God, and they have been a comfort to me.

for from you hath sounded forth the word of the Lord, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith toward God did go forth, so that we have no need to say anything,

For this reason, we intended to go to you, (I Paul) both once and again, but Satan hindered us.

And we sent Timothy, our brother and God’s coworker in the gospel of Christ, to strengthen and encourage you concerning your faith,

For now we can go on living, as long as you continue to stand firm in the Lord.

Now may our God and Father Himself, and our Lord Jesus Christ, open the way for us to go to you.

And last of all, the prayer which we make to you from our heart and in the name of the Lord Jesus, is this: that as we made clear to you what sort of behaviour is pleasing to God, as in fact you are doing now, so you will go on in these ways, but more and more.

That no man go beyond and defraud his brother in any matter: because that the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified.

For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are still living at the coming of the Lord, will not go before those who are sleeping.

For people who go to sleep, go to sleep at night; and people who get drunk, get drunk at night.

So then, go on comforting and building up one another, as you have been doing.

Let no one give evil for evil; but ever go after what is good, for one another and for all.

For the rest, my brothers, let there be prayer for us that the word of the Lord may go forward with increasing glory, even as it does with you;

For we hear that some go about among you in a disorderly manner, not working, but being above work;

For those who go after loose women, for those with unnatural desires, for those who take men prisoners, who make false statements and false oaths, and those who do any other things against the right teaching,

keeping hold of faith and a good conscience. For some people have let that go and have had their faith ruined,

But if they go on in faith and love and holy self-control, she will be kept safe at the time of childbirth.

Have a care for these things; give yourself to them with all your heart, so that all may see how you go forward.

Give attention to yourself and your teaching. Go on in these things; for in doing so you will get salvation for yourself and for those who give hearing to you.

Now at the same time, they also learn to be idle as they go from house to house; and not only idle, but also gossips and busybodies [meddlers in things that do not concern them], talking about things they should not mention.

The sins of some men are clearly seen, going before them to be judged; but with others, their sins go after them.

for a root of all the evils is the love of money, which certain longing for did go astray from the faith, and themselves did pierce through with many sorrows;

But you, O man of God, keep yourself from these things, and go after righteousness, religion, faith, love, a quiet mind, gentle behaviour.

If we go on to the end, then we will be ruling with him: if we say we have no knowledge of him, then he will say he has no knowledge of us:

But take no part in wrong and foolish talk, for those who do so will go farther into evil,

But keep yourself from those desires of the flesh which are strong when the body is young, and go after righteousness, faith, love, peace, with those whose prayers go up to the Lord from a clean heart.

Gently guiding those who go against the teaching; if by chance God may give them a change of heart and true knowledge,

Having a form of religion, but turning their backs on the power of it: go not with these.

For these are they who go secretly into houses, making prisoners of foolish women, weighted down with sin, turned from the way by their evil desires,

And as James and Jambres went against Moses, so do these go against what is true: men of evil minds, who, tested by faith, are seen to be false.

But they will go no farther: for their foolish behaviour will be clear to all men, as theirs was in the end.

But evil men and impostors will go on from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived.

But be self-controlled in all things, do without comfort, go on preaching the good news, completing the work which has been given you to do.

For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure [from this world] is at hand and I will soon go free.

For this cause I left thee in Crete, that thou mightest go on to set right what remained unordered, and establish elders in each city, as I had ordered thee:

This is a true saying. Of these things I would thou shouldest certify, that they which believe God, might be diligent to go forward in good works. These things are good and profitable unto men.

And let our people go on with good works for necessary purposes, so that they may not be without fruit.

Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother:

To Philemon our dear friend and coworker,

Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, my coworkers.

And let those who all their lives were in chains because of their fear of death, go free.

wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, Always do they go astray in heart, and these have not known My ways;

So we see that they were not able to go in because they had no belief.

Let us then, though we still have God's word that we may come into his rest, go in fear that some of you may be unable to do so.

So that as it is clear that some have to go in, and that the first hearers of the good news were not able to go in because they went against God's orders,

Because of this, let us have a strong desire to come into that rest, and let no one go after the example of those who went against God's orders.

Let us therefore go boldly unto the seat of grace, that we may receive mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,

And we will do so [i.e., go on to more advanced teaching] if God allows us to. For it is impossible to get people who have [completely] fallen away [from God] to repent again, because they [continue to] crucify for themselves God's Son all over again, and hold Him up to contempt.

But, my loved ones, though we say this, we are certain that you have better things in you, things which go with salvation;

And it is true that there have been a great number of those priests, because death does not let them go on for ever;

and above the ark were the [golden] cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy seat; but we cannot now go into detail about these things.

Now these things having been thus prepared, the priests go in continually into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the services;

but into the second or inner part nobody but the high priest may go, and he only once a year, and never without blood which he offers for himself and for the sins committed in ignorance by the people.

For if the blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a young cow sprinkled on those who are defiled sanctify [them] for the ritual purity of the flesh,

For Christ did not go into a holy place which had been made by men's hands as the copy of the true one; but he went into heaven itself, and now takes his place before the face of God for us.

Nor did he go into heaven to sacrifice himself again and again, the way the high priest goes into the Holy Place every year with blood that is not his own.

So then, my brothers, being able to go into the holy place without fear, because of the blood of Jesus,
