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;

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.

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.

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.

For this is the will of God, your sanctification, that you abstain from fornication;

because the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first;

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

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.

And we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you withdraw from every brother who walks about disorderly, and not according to the teaching they received from us.

But the Spirit says positively, that in the last times certain ones will depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and to the teachings of demons,

forbidding to marry, commanding to abstain from meats, which God created for reception with thanksgiving to the faithful and to those perfectly knowing the truth.

he has been inflated, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and controversies, from which come envy, strife, blasphemies, evil surmisings,

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.

But you, O man of God, fly from these things; and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, divine love, patience, meekness.

to Timothy, my beloved child. Grace, mercy, peace from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord.

For he somewhere has spoken thus in reference to the seventh day, And God rested on the seventh day from all his works.

For the one having entered into his rest has ceased from his works, as God did from his own.

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:

Who in the days of his flesh, having with strong crying and tears offered up both prayers and supplications unto him who is able to save him from death, and having been heard on account of his piety,

indeed being a Son, he learned obedience from those things which he suffered;

Therefore having left the word of the beginning of Christ, let us be carried to perfection; not again laying the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,

For this Melchizedek, the king of Salem, priest of the Most High God, the one having met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him,

to whom Abraham divided the tenth from all first, being interpreted, King of righteousness, and then King of Salem, which is, King of peace;

And those indeed of the sons of Levi receiving the priesthood have a commandment to tithe the people according to the law, that is, their brethren, even though having come out from the loins of Abraham:

but he who did not derive his lineage from them has tithed Abraham, and blessed him having the promises.

For he unto whom these things were spoken belongs to another tribe, from which no one ministers at the altar:

for it is evident that our Lord sprang from Judah; in reference to which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priests.

And indeed many have been made priests, because they were prohibited by death from continuing:

For such a high priest was indeed appropriate unto us, holy, free from sin, undefiled, having been separated from the sinners, and being higher than the heavens;

And they shall no longer teach each one his neighbor, each one his brother, saying, Know ye the Lord: because all shall know me, from their small even unto the great.

how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered up himself without spot to God, purify our conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
