I always thank my God for the grace of God that has been bestowed on you in Christ Jesus;

Thus you lack no spiritual endowment during these days of waiting till our Lord Jesus Christ is revealed;

and to the very end he will guarantee that you are vindicated on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Faithful is the God who called you to this fellowship with his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

Brothers, for the sake of our Lord Jesus Christ I beg of you all to drop these party-cries. There must be no cliques among you; you must regain your common temper and attitude.

This is the God to whom you owe your being in Christ Jesus, whom God has made our 'Wisdom,' that is, our righteousness and consecration and redemption;

I determined among you to be ignorant of everything except Jesus Christ, and Jesus Christ the crucified.

The foundation is laid, namely Jesus Christ, and no one can lay any other.

You may have thousands to superintend you in Christ, but you have not more than one father. It was I who in Christ Jesus became your father by means of the gospel.

To ensure this, I am sending you Timotheus, my beloved and trustworthy son in the Lord; he will remind you of those methods in Christ Jesus which I teach everywhere in every church.

by the authority of our Lord Jesus Christ; I have met with you in spirit, and by the power of our Lord Jesus

I have consigned that individual to Satan for the destruction of his flesh, in order that his spirit may be saved on the Day of the Lord Jesus.

Some of you were once like that; but you washed yourselves clean, you were consecrated, you were justified in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.

(So-called gods there may be, in heaven or on earth ??as indeed there are plenty of them, both gods and 'lords' ??6 but for us there is one God, the Father, from whom all comes, and for whom we exist; one Lord, Jesus Christ, by whom all exists, and by whom we exist.)

Am I not free? Am I not an apostle? Have I not seen Jesus our Lord? Are you not the work I have accomplished in the Lord?

I passed on to you what I received from the Lord himself, namely, that on the night he was betrayed the Lord Jesus took a loaf,

so I tell you now, that no one is speaking in the Spirit of God when he cries, 'Cursed be Jesus,' and that no one can say, 'Jesus is Lord,' except in the holy Spirit.

(Not a day but I am at death's door! I swear it by my pride in you, brothers, through Christ Jesus our Lord.)

The victory is ours, thank God! He makes it ours by our Lord Jesus Christ.

The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you.

My love be with you all in Christ Jesus.' [Amen.]

PAUL an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and brother Timotheus, to the church of God at Corinth as well as to all the saints throughout the whole of Achaia:

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

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort,

as you have partly understood the meaning of my life, namely that I am your source of pride (as you are mine) on the Day of our Lord Jesus.

for the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was proclaimed among you by us (by myself and Silvanus and Timotheus) was not 'yes and no' ??the divine 'yes' has at last sounded in him,

(It is Christ Jesus as Lord, not myself, that I proclaim; I am simply a servant of yours for Jesus' sake.)

persecuted but not abandoned, struck down but not destroyed ??10 wherever I go, I am being killed in the body as Jesus was, so that the life of Jesus may come out in my body:

every day of my life I am being given over to death for Jesus' sake, so that the life of Jesus may come out within my mortal flesh.

sure that He who raised the Lord Jesus will raise me too with Jesus and set me at your side in his presence.

(You know how gracious our Lord Jesus Christ was; rich though he was, he became poor for the sake of you, that by his poverty you might be rich.)

You put up with it all right, when some interloper preaches a second Jesus (not the Jesus I preached), or when you are treated to a Spirit different from the Spirit you once received, and to a different gospel from what I gave you! Why not put up with me?

The God and Father of the Lord Jesus, He who is blessed for ever, He knows I am telling the truth!

Put yourselves to the proof, not me; test yourselves, to see if you are in the faith. Do you not understand that Christ Jesus is within you? Otherwise you must be failures.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the holy Spirit be with you all.

PAUL an apostle ??not appointed by men nor commissioned by any man but by Jesus Christ and God the Father who raised him from the dead, ??2 with all the brothers who are beside me, to the churches of Galatia;

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

no man put it into my hands, no man taught me what it meant, I had it by a revelation of Jesus Christ.

There were traitors of false brothers, who had crept in to spy out the freedom we enjoy in Christ Jesus; they did aim at enslaving us again.

but since we know a man is justified simply by faith in Jesus Christ and not by doing what the Law commands, we ourselves have believed in Christ Jesus so as to get justified by faith in Christ and not by doing what the Law commands ??for by doing what the Law commands no person shall be justified.

O senseless Galatians, who has bewitched you ??you who had Jesus Christ the crucified placarded before your very eyes?

that the blessing of Abraham might reach the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promised Spirit.

but Scripture has consigned all without exception to the custody of sin, in order that the promise due to faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who have faith.

you are all sons of God by your faith in Christ Jesus

There is no room for Jew or Greek, there is no room for slave or freeman, there is no room for male and female; you are all one in Christ Jesus.

and though my flesh was a trial to you, you did not scoff at me nor spurn me, you welcomed me like an angel of God, like Christ Jesus. You congratulated yourselves.

in Christ Jesus circumcision is not valid, neither is uncircumcision, but only faith active in love.

But no boasting for me, none except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world has been crucified to me and I crucified to the world.

Let no one interfere with me after this, for I bear branded on my body the owner's stamp of Jesus.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen.

PAUL, by the will of God an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the saints who are faithful in Jesus Christ:

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

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ who in Christ has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly sphere!

destining us in love to be his sons through Jesus Christ. Such was the purpose of his will,

Hence, as I have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints,

May the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, grant you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation for the knowledge of himself,

together with Christ he raised and seated us within the heavenly sphere in Christ Jesus,

to display throughout ages to come his surpassing wealth of grace and goodness toward us in Christ Jesus.

God has made us what we are, creating us in Christ Jesus for the good deeds which are prepared beforehand by God as our sphere of action.

Whereas now, within Christ Jesus, you who once were far away have been brought near by the blood of Christ.

you are a building that rests on the apostles and prophets as its foundation, with Christ Jesus as the cornerstone;

For this reason I Paul, I whom Jesus has made a prisoner for the sake of you Gentiles ??2 for surely you have heard how the grace of God which was vouchsafed me in your interests has ordered it,

namely, that in Christ Jesus the Gentiles are co-heirs, companions, and co-partners in the Promise.

in terms of the eternal purpose which he has realized in Christ Jesus our Lord,

to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations for ever and ever: Amen.

(for it is Christ whom you have been taught, it is in Christ that you have been instructed ??the real Christ who is in Jesus);

and render thanks to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ at all times and for all things.

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

Grace be with all who have an undying love for our Lord Jesus Christ.

PAUL and Timotheus, servants of Christ Jesus, to all the saints in Christ Jesus who are at Philippi, as well as to the bishops and deacons:

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

of this I am confident, that he who has begun the good work in you will go on completing it until the day of Jesus Christ.

(God is my witness that I yearn for you all with the affection of Christ Jesus himself!)

your life covered with that harvest of righteousness which Jesus Christ produces to the glory and the praise of God.

The outcome of all this, I know, will be my release, as you continue to pray for me, and as I am provided with the Spirit of Jesus Christ ??20 my eager desire and hope being that I may never feel ashamed but that now as ever I may do honour to Christ in my own person by fearless courage. Whether that means life or death, no matter!

Thus you will have ample cause to glory in Christ Jesus over me ??over my return to you.

Treat one another with the same spirit as you experience in Christ Jesus.

so that before the Name of Jesus every knee should bend in heaven, on earth, and underneath the earth,

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

I hope in the Lord Jesus to send you Timotheus before long, that I may be heartened by news of you.

Everybody is selfish, instead of caring for Jesus Christ.

We are the true Circumcision, we who worship God in spirit, we who pride ourselves on Christ Jesus, we who rely upon no outward privilege.

indeed I count anything a loss, compared to the supreme value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have lost everything (I count it all the veriest refuse) in order to gain Christ

Not that I have already attained this or am already perfect, but I press forward to appropriate it, because I have been appropriated myself by Christ Jesus.

to press on to the goal for the prize of God's high call in Christ Jesus.

But we are a colony of heaven, and we wait for the Saviour who comes from heaven, the Lord Jesus Christ,

so shall God's peace, that surpasses all our dreams, keep guard over your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

My God will supply all your own needs from his wealth in Glory in Christ Jesus.

Salute every saint in Christ Jesus. The brothers beside me salute you.

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

Paul, by God's will an apostle of Christ Jesus, and brother Timotheus,

We always thank the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ when we pray for you,

since we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and your love for all the saints,

Since you have had the messiah, even Jesus the Lord, brought to you, lead your life in him,

Indeed, whatever you say or do, let everything be done in dependence on the Lord Jesus, giving thanks in his name to God the Father.

and so does Jesus who is called Justus. These are the only comrades in the work of God's realm, belonging to the circumcised, who have been any comfort to me.

Epaphras, who is one of yourselves, salutes you ??a servant of Christ Jesus who is always earnest in prayer for you, that you may stand firm like mature and convinced Christians, whatever be the will of God for you.

Paul and Silvanus and Timotheus, to the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: grace and peace to you.

as we recall your active faith and labour of love and patient hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father.

and to wait for the coming of his Son from heaven ??the Son whom he raised from the dead, Jesus who rescues us from the Wrath to come.
