And on behalf of me; - that, unto me, may be given discourse in the opening of my mouth, with freedom of utterance, to make known the sacred secret of the glad-message

In order, however, that, ye also, may know the things which relate to me - what I am accomplishing, - all things, shall Tychicus make known unto you, he the beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord,

always offering every prayer of mine with joy [and with specific requests] for all of you,

For I am certain of this very thing, that he by whom the good work was started in you will make it complete till the day of Jesus Christ:

I should have this opinion of you, being sensible you make the dispensation I am under a common concern, with respect to my confinement, and the defence and confirmation of the gospel.

Now it is my purpose to make clear to you, brothers, that the cause of the good news has been helped by my experiences;

What difference then does it make? In one way or another, whether in pretense or in sincerity, Christ is being preached, and that is the thing that makes me glad; yes, more too, I will continue to be glad of it,

Yes, and I will rejoice, for I know that, through your prayers and through a rich supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, 'all this will make for my Salvation.'

But, if living in flesh, is Christ , this, unto me, is a fruit of work, - and, what I shall choose, I make not known:

and yet your needs make it very necessary for me to stay on here.

If then I can appeal to you as the followers of Christ, if there is any persuasive power in love and any common sharing of the Spirit, or if you have any tender-heartedness and compassion, make my joy complete by being of one mind,

Make my joy complete by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in harmony and of one mind;

Make your own attitude that of Christ Jesus,

who, although He existed in the form and unchanging essence of God [as One with Him, possessing the fullness of all the divine attributes—the entire nature of deity], did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped or asserted [as if He did not already possess it, or was afraid of losing it];

So, my dear friends, as you have always been obedient, with reverence and awe make every effort to insure your salvation, not simply as though I were with you, but all the more because I am away.

Receive him therefore in the Lord with all gladness, and make much of such:

Because for the work of Christ he was near to death, putting his life in danger to make your care for me complete.

For we are the true circumcision, who worship God in the spirit, and make our boast in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in outward rites,

Not that I have already obtained it [this goal of being Christlike] or have already been made perfect, but I actively press on so that I may take hold of that [perfection] for which Christ Jesus took hold of me and made me His own.

All of us who are mature [pursuing spiritual perfection] should have this attitude. And if in any respect you have a different attitude, that too God will make clear to you.

He will make our poor bodies over to resemble his glorious body, by exerting the power he has to subject everything to himself.

I make request to Euodias and Syntyche to be of the same mind in the Lord.

And I make request to you, true helper in my work, to see to the needs of those women who took part with me in the good news, with Clement and the rest of my brother-workers whose names are in the book of life.

Do not be anxious or worried about anything, but in everything [every circumstance and situation] by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, continue to make your [specific] requests known to God.

it is not my indigence that makes me say this: for I have learn'd, in whatevever state I am, therewith to be content: I know how to be in want,

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.

I can do everything in the strength of him who makes me strong!

For this reason, since the day we heard about it, we have not stopped praying for you, asking [specifically] that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom [with insight into His purposes], and in understanding [of spiritual things],

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

in the body of his flesh through death, to make you holy, unblameable, and without fault in his own sight,

I now rejoice in sufferings for you, and make complete in my flesh things lacking of the afflictions of the Christ for his body, which is the church.

In this church I was made a minister according to the stewardship which God entrusted to me for your sake, so that I might make the word of God fully known [among you]—

God [in His eternal plan] chose to make known to them how great for the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ in and among you, the hope and guarantee of [realizing the] glory.

whom we preach warning all men, and teaching all men in all wisdom, to make all men perfect in Christ Jesus.

being firmly attach'd to, and founded upon him: establishing yourselves in the faith you have been taught, and being thankful for the improvement you make therein.

See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception [pseudo-intellectual babble], according to the tradition [and musings] of mere men, following the elementary principles of this world, rather than following [the truth—the teachings of] Christ.

And you, being dead through your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, you, I say , did he make alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses;

Let no man make you shoot at a wrong mark, which after his own imagination walketh in the humbleness and holiness of angels, things which he never saw: causeless, puffed up with his fleshly mind,

by which indeed they make a pretence to wisdom, by a worship of their own devising, by an air of humility, and self-denial, and a disregard to the gratifications of sense.

When Christ, who is our true life, shall make his appearance, then you also will appear glorified with him.

Make dead, therefore, your members that are on the earth - as regardeth fornication, impurity, passion, base coveting, and greed, the which, is idolatry, -

Do not make false statements to one another; because you have put away the old man with all his doings,

And have put on the new man, which has become new in knowledge after the image of his maker;

Over all these virtues put on love; for that is the girdle which makes all complete.

Fathers, do not harass your children, lest you make them spiritless.

Praying at the same time for us also, that God would open to us a door of utterance, to declare the mystery of Christ, for which also I am in bonds: that I may make it manifest, as I ought.

that I may make it clear [and speak boldly and unfold the mystery] in the way I should.

Be prudent in your conduct to those, who are not christians: and make the best of of every opportunity.

Always let your conversation be seasoned with salt, that is, with winsomeness, so that you may know how to make a fitting answer to everyone.

Tychicus will make known to you all things about me, the beloved brother and faithful helper and fellow bondman in Lord.

with Onesimus, the faithful and beloved brother who is of you. They will make known to you all things here.

Aristarchus, my fellow prisoner, salutes you, and Marcus, the cousin of Barnabas (about whom you received instructions; if he comes to you, make him welcome), and Jesus surnamed Justas.

And when the epistle is read of you, make that it be read in the congregation of the Laodiceans also: and that ye likewise read the epistle of Laodicea.

We continually give thanks to God because of you all, while we make mention of you in our prayers.

and so became an example to all the believers in Macedonia and Achaia. [Note: These two provinces make up present-day Greece].

For the appeal we make does not come from error or impurity or with deceit,

As you know, we did not come with flattering words or with a scheme to make money. God is our witness!

to make your lives worthy of God who invites you into his kingdom and his glory.

who killed both the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and harassed and drove us out; and [they] continue to be highly displeasing to God and [to show themselves] hostile to all people,

Who, to make the measure of their sins complete, kept us from giving the word of salvation to the Gentiles: but the wrath of God is about to come on them in the fullest degree.

And sent Timothy, our brother, and servant of God, and our coworker in the good news of Christ, in order to make you firm, and comfort you for your faith

Therefore, since I could no longer endure the uncertainty, I sent to make inquiries about your faith, fearing that the Tempter had tempted you, and that our toil might prove to have been in vain.

but Timothy, upon his arrival here from you, brings us the agreeable news of the perseverance of your faith and charity, that you always make honourable mention of us, and that you desire to see us as ardently as we do to see you.

For how can I thank God enough for you, for all the happiness you make me feel in the presence of our God,

Night and day requesting God again and again that we may see your face and make your faith complete.

Now may our God and Father himself and our Lord Jesus make a way for us to come to you;

May the Lord make you increase and overflow in love for one another and for all men, as my love for you does,

May He make your hearts blameless in holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all His saints. Amen.

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.

And that no man may make attempts to get the better of his brother in business: for the Lord is the judge in all these things, as we said to you before and gave witness.

and to make it your ambition to live quietly and peacefully, and to mind your own affairs and work with your hands, just as we directed you,

for God did not design to make us the objects of his displeasure, but to effect our felicity by the Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us,

But we make this request to you, my brothers: give attention to those who are working among you, who are over you in the Lord to keep order among you;

Make sure that no one does anything wrong to someone who wrongs him, but always look for something good you can do for one another and for everyone.

Make it a habit to give thanks for everything, for this is God's will for you through Christ Jesus.

Do not make little of the words of the prophets;

And may the God of peace himself make you holy in every way; and may your spirit and soul and body be free from all sin at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

God, by whom you have been marked out in his purpose, is unchanging and will make it complete.

so that we ourselves make our boast in you in the assemblies of God for your endurance and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations, which ye are sustaining;

This is evidence of God's righteous judgment, to make you worthy of the kingdom of God, for which in fact you are suffering.

With this in view we are always praying for you too, that our God may make you worthy of His call, and by His power fully satisfy your every desire for goodness, and complete every activity of your faith,

You must not let anyone deceive you at all. For that is not until the rebellion takes place and the embodiment of disobedience makes his appearance??e who is doomed to destruction,

Then the embodiment of disobedience will make his appearance, and the Lord Jesus will destroy him with the breath of his mouth and annihilate him by his appearance and arrival.

who by the instigation of satan will make his parade with various arts, with fallacious signs and prodigies,

Because of this God will send upon them a misleading influence, [an activity of error and deception] so they will believe the lie,

comfort and encourage and strengthen your hearts [keeping them steadfast and on course] in every good work and word.

To conclude, pray for us, my brethren, that the doctrine of the Lord may make its progress, and be respected every where as it is among you:

But the Lord is faithful, and He will make you stedfast and will guard you from the Evil one.

Not that I have no right to be supported, but to make myself an example for you to follow.

Now to such we give orders and make request in the Lord Jesus, that, working quietly, they get their living.

If any man does not give heed to what I have said in this letter, mark that man; do not associate with him, so as to make him feel ashamed;

It was my desire, when I went on into Macedonia, that you might make a stop at Ephesus, to give orders to certain men not to put forward a different teaching,

and the attention they bestow on mere fables and endless pedigrees, such as lead to controversy rather than to a true stewardship for God, which only exists where there is faith. And I make the same request now.

They want to be teachers of the law, although they do not understand the words they use or the things about which they make such confident assertions.

Indeed, I know that the law is an excellent thing, if a man makes a lawful use of it;

the immoral, men who practice sodomy, men who make other men their slaves, liars, perjurers, or anything else that is contrary to sound teaching,

Yet, mercy was shown me for the very purpose that in my case as the foremost of sinners Jesus might display His perfect patience, to make me an example to those who in the future might believe on Him to obtain eternal life.

having faith and a good conscience, which certain having thrust away, concerning the faith did make shipwreck,

My desire is, first of all, that you will make requests and prayers and give praise for all men;

but, as becomes women, who make a profession of religion, to be adorn'd with virtue.
