having predestined us to adoption through Jesus Christ to himself according to the good pleasure of his will,

Because of this I also, hearing of {your faith} in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints,

that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, {the glorious Father}, may give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him

and raised [us] together and seated [us] together in the heavenly [places] in Christ Jesus,

in order that he might show in the coming ages the surpassing riches of his grace in kindness upon us in Christ Jesus.

For we are his creation, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, so that we may walk in them.

But now in Christ Jesus you, the ones who once were far away, have become near by the blood of Christ.

built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone,

On account of this I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for the sake of you Gentiles

[that] the Gentiles are fellow heirs, and fellow members of the body, and fellow sharers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel,

according to the purpose of the ages which he carried out in Christ Jesus our Lord,

to him [be] the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen.

if indeed you have heard [about] him, and you were taught by him (just as truth is in Jesus),

giving thanks always for all [things] in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to the God and Father,

Peace to the brothers and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Grace [be] with all who love our Lord Jesus Christ in incorruptibility.

Paul and Timothy, slaves of Christ Jesus, to all the saints in Christ Jesus who are in Philippi, together with the overseers and deacons.

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

convinced of this same [thing], that the one who began a good work in you will finish [it] until the day of Christ Jesus,

For God [is] my witness, that I long for all of you with the affection of Christ Jesus.

having been filled [with the] fruit of righteousness which [comes] through Jesus Christ to the glory and praise of God.

for I know that this will turn out to me for deliverance through your prayer and the support of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,

so that [what] you can be proud of may increase in Christ Jesus because of me through my return again to you.

Think this in yourselves which [was] also in Christ Jesus,

so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of [those] in heaven and of [those] on earth and of [those] under the earth,

and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ [is] Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

But I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, so that I also may be encouraged [when I] know {your circumstances}.

For they all seek {their own interests}, not those of Jesus Christ.

For we are the circumcision, the ones who worship by the Spirit of God and boast in Christ Jesus and do not [put] confidence in the flesh,

{More than that}, even consider all [things] to be loss because of the surpassing greatness of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for the sake of whom I have suffered the loss of all [things], and consider [them] dung, in order that I may gain Christ

I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

For our commonwealth exists in heaven, from which also we eagerly await a savior, the Lord Jesus Christ,

And the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

And my God will fulfill your every need according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

Greet every saint in Christ Jesus. The brothers with me greet you.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ [be] with your spirit.

Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, and Timothy our brother,

We give thanks always to God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ [when we] pray for you,

[since we] heard about your faith in Christ Jesus and the love that you have for all the saints,

Therefore as you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, live in him,

and everything {whatever} you do in word or in deed, giving thanks [for] all [things] in the name of the Lord Jesus to God the Father through him.

and Jesus who is called Justus. These [are] the only ones who are fellow workers for the kingdom of God from the circumcision, who have been a comfort to me.

Paul and Silvanus and Timothy, to the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Grace to you and peace.

[because we] remember your work of faith and labor of love and steadfastness of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ in the presence of our God and Father,

and to await his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, Jesus, the one who delivers us from the coming wrath.

For you became imitators, brothers, of the churches of God [which] are in Judea in Christ Jesus, because you also suffered the same [things] at the hands of your own people, just as [they] themselves [did] also at the hands of the Jews,

who killed both the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and who persecuted us, and [who are] not pleasing to God and [are] opposed to all people,

For who [is] our hope or joy or crown of boasting? [Is it] not even you, in the presence of our Lord Jesus at his coming?

Now [may] our God and Father himself and our Lord Jesus direct our way to you,

so that your hearts may be established blameless in holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his saints.

Finally therefore, brothers, we ask you and appeal to [you] in the Lord Jesus that, just as you have received from us how it is necessary for you to live and to please God, just as indeed you are living, that you progress even more.

For you know what commands we gave to you through the Lord Jesus.

For if we believe that Jesus died and rose [again], thus also God will bring those who have fallen asleep through Jesus together with him.

because God did not appoint us for wrath, but for the obtaining of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,

give thanks in everything; for this [is] the will of God for you in Christ Jesus.

Now may the God of peace himself sanctify you completely, and may your spirit and soul and body be kept complete, blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you.

Paul and Silvanus and Timothy, to the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

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

and to you who are being afflicted, rest with us at the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven with his powerful angels,

with burning flame giving punishment to those who do not know God and who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus,

in order that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Now we ask you, brothers, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our assembling to him,

and then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will slay with the breath of his mouth, and wipe out by the appearance of his coming,

for which [purpose] he called you through our gospel for the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who has loved us and given [us] eternal encouragement and good hope by grace,

But we command you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, [that] you keep away from every brother who lives irresponsibly and not according to the tradition that they received from us.

Now we command and we exhort such people in the Lord Jesus Christ that, working with quietness, they eat their own bread.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with all of you.

Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus according to the command of God our Savior and of Christ Jesus our hope,

to Timothy, [my] true child in the faith. Grace, mercy, [and] peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

{I give thanks} to the one who strengthens me, Christ Jesus our Lord, because he considered me faithful, placing [me] into ministry,

and the grace of our Lord abounded with the faith and love [that are] in Christ Jesus.

The saying [is] trustworthy and worthy of all acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the foremost.

But because of this I was shown mercy, in order that in me foremost, Christ Jesus might demonstrate his total patience, for an example for those who are going to believe in him for eternal life.

For [there is] one God and one mediator between God and human beings, the man Christ Jesus,

For those who have served well acquire a good standing for themselves, and great boldness in the faith [that is] in Christ Jesus.

[By] teaching these [things] to the brothers, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, trained in the words of the faith and of the good teaching that you have followed faithfully.

I testify solemnly before God and Christ Jesus and the elect angels that you observe these [things] without prejudice, doing nothing according to partiality.

If anyone teaches other doctrine and does not devote himself to the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ and the teaching [that is] in accordance with godliness,

I command you, in the sight of God who gives life to all [things] and Christ Jesus who testified the good confession before Pontius Pilate,

[that] you observe the commandment without fault, irreproachable until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ,

Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, according to the promise of life which [is] in Christ Jesus,

to Timothy, [my] dear child. Grace, mercy, [and] peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

who saved us and called [us] with a holy calling, not according to our works but according to his own purpose and grace that was given to us in Christ Jesus {before time began},

but has now been disclosed by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who has abolished death and brought to light life and immortality through the gospel,

Hold fast to the pattern of sound words which you heard from me, in the faith and love [that are] in Christ Jesus.

You, therefore, my child, be strong in the grace [that is] in Christ Jesus,

Suffer together with [me] as a good soldier of Christ Jesus.

Remember Jesus Christ, raised from the dead, a descendant of David according to my gospel,

Because of this, I endure all [things] for the sake of the chosen, in order that they also may obtain salvation [which is] in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.

And indeed, all those who want to live in a godly manner in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.

and that from childhood you have known the holy writings that are able [to make] you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.

I solemnly charge [you] before God and Christ Jesus, who is going to judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom,

Paul, a slave of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ for the faith of the chosen of God and the knowledge of the truth that [is] according to godliness,

to Titus, [my] true child according to a common faith. Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior.

looking forward to the blessed hope and the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ,

whom he poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior,

Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother, to Philemon, our dear friend and fellow worker,

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