Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.

because you were at that time without Christ, being alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers of the covenants of the promise, having no hope and being atheists in the world.

from whom the whole body, being assimilated and knitted together through every joint of the supply, according to the working in each several part, makes increase of the body in the edification of itself in divine love.

Grace and peace unto you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

for your fellowship in the gospel from the first clay until now;

the latter from divine love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel:

the former from self-seeking are proclaiming Christ insincerely, thinking that they will add affliction to my bonds.

and not being intimidated in anything by the adversaries: which is to them the manifestation of destruction, but of your salvation, and this is from God;

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

but he humbled himself, having taken the form of a servant, being in the likeness of men; and having been found in fashion like a man;

if perchance I may attain unto the resurrection which is out from the dead.

And you indeed know, O Philippians, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I came out from Macedonia, no church communicated with me in the word of giving and receiving, except you alone;

All the saints, and especially those from the house of Caesar, salute you.

to the saints who are in Colossae and the faithful brethren in Christ. Grace to you and peace from God our Father.

having come to you, as it is indeed in the whole world bearing fruit and increasing, as also among you, from the day on which you heard and have known the grace of God in truth;

as you have learned from Epaphras our beloved fellow-servant, who is the faithful minister of Christ your behalf,

Therefore we, from the day on which we heard, do not cease praying for you, and asking that you may be filled with the perfect knowledge of his will in all wisdom, and spiritual understanding,

who delivered us from the power of darkness, and transplanted us into the kingdom of the Son of his love;

and himself is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the first begotten from the dead, in order that in all things himself may be preeminent:

if you abide in the faith, having been grounded and firm, and not moved from the hope of the gospel which you have heard, having been preached in all creation which is under heaven; whose minister I Paul became.

the mystery which has been hidden from ages and from the generations: but is now made manifest to his saints,

having been buried with him in baptism, in which you are also raised by the faith of the operation of God, who raised him from the dead:

having blotted out the handwriting which was against us in ordinances, which was antagonistical to us: and took it out from the midst, having nailed it to the cross;

and not holding the Head, from which the entire body, by joints and ligaments being supplied and knitted together, increases the increase of God.

If along with Christ you are dead from the elements of the world, why are you dogmatized as living in the world,

Whatsoever you may do, work from your soul, as for the Lord, and not for men;

knowing that you will receive the recompense of the inheritance from the Lord. Serve the Lord Christ;

along with our faithful and beloved brother, Onesimus, who is from you; they will truly make known all things to you.

Epaphras, who is from you, the servant of Jesus Christ, always agonizing in your behalf in his prayers, in order that you may stand perfect even having been fully carried away in all the will of God, salutes you.

And when the letter may be read by you, cause that it may also be read in the church of the Laodiceans; and that you may also read the letter from Laodicea.

For from you the word of the Lord echoed out, not only in Macedonia and in Achaia, but in every place your faith which is towards God has gone forth; so that we have no need to say any thing:

for they proclaim concerning what kind of reception we had unto you; and how you turned to God from the idols, to serve the true and the living God,

and to await his Son out of the heavens, whom he raised from the dead, Jesus the one delivering us from the wrath to come.

For our exhortation was not from delusion, nor from impurity, nor in guile:

nor seeking glory from men, nor from you, nor from others, being able to be burdensome, as the apostles of Christ;

And on account of this we also give thanks to God incessantly, because, receiving the word of God from us by hearing, you received it not as the word of men, but, as it truly is, the word of God, who indeed works in you who believe.

For ye, brethren, became imitators of the churches of God which are in Judea in Jesus Christ: because you suffered the same things from your fellow tribes, as they also from the Jews;

But, brethren, we having been absent from you for the space of an hour, in presence, not in heart, we were the more exceedingly anxious to see your face with much desire.

But Timothy, having already come to us from you, and proclaimed to us the good news of your faith and your divine love, and that you always have a good mention of us, longing to see us, as we do to see you;

Finally therefore, brethren, we pray you and exhort you in the Lord Jesus, that as you received from us how it behooves you to walk about and to please God, as you do indeed walk about, in order that you may abound more and more.

who shall suffer vengeance, eternal destruction from the face of the Lord and from the glory of his might,

that you be not suddenly shaken from your mind, nor disturbed, whether by a spirit, or through word, or a letter as by us, as that the day of the Lord has come.

But we ought to give thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God chose you from the beginning unto salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth;

and in order that we may be delivered from the ungodly and wicked men; for faith does not belong to all.

But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you and keep you from the evil one.

wranglings of men having been corrupted as to their mind and turned away from the truth, considering that gain is godliness.

For the love of money is a root of all evils: which some seeking after have wandered from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

but Christ was as a son, over his own house; whose house we are, if we hold fast the boldness and rejoicing of hope firm unto the end.

See, brethren, lest at some time there shall be in some one of you an evil heart of unbelief, in turning away from the living God:

for we have been made partakers of Christ, if indeed we may hold fast the beginning of confidence firm unto the end.

For we who have believed, do enter into rest: as he has said, As I swore in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest: the works truly having been from the foundations of the world.

For we have not a high priest who is not able to be touched with our infirmities; but one having been tempted as to all things like unto us, apart from sin.

For every high priest, being received from men, presides over men in the things appertaining to God, in order that he may offer gifts and sacrifices for sins:
