For so many as are of works of law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one who does not abide in all things which have been written in the book of the law, to do the same.

Then what is the law? It was added on account of the transgressions, until the seed to whom the promise was made should come; being ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.

but the scripture has shut up all things unto sin, in order that the promise through faith of Jesus Christ may be given to those who believe.

And again I witness to every man who is circumcised, that he is debtor to do the whole law.

You were running well; who did hinder you that you should not obey the truth?

Brethren, if indeed a man may be overtaken in some transgression, you who are spiritual, perfect such an one in the spirit of meekness; watching yourself, lest you may also be tempted.

But let the one who is taught the word communicate to the one teaching in all good things.

Then therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith.

For neither do those who are circumcised keep the law; but they wish you to be circumcised, in order that they may glory in your flesh.

Paul, the apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, to the saints who are in Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus.

in whom we have redemption through his blood, the remission of transgressions, according to the riches of his grace,

in whom we were also chosen by lot, having been predestinated according to the purpose of him who works all things within us according to the counsel of his own will;

that we should be unto the praise of his glory, who first exercised hope in Christ:

in whom you also, having heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, in whom, also having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise,

who is the earnest of our salvation, unto the redemption of the possession, unto the praise of his glory.

and what the excellent majesty of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of the power of his might

which is his body, the fulness of him who fills all things in all.

You, who were dead in trespasses and in your sins,

among whom we all indeed at one time lived in the lusts of our flesh, doing the will of the flesh and of the thoughts, and we were by nature the children of wrath, like the rest also:

created life in us in Christ, who were dead in trespasses, by grace you have been saved,

But now you are in Christ Jesus, who being at one time far off have been made nigh by the blood of Christ.

And having come he preached the gospel of peace to you, who were far away, and peace to them who were nigh:

in whom the entire edifice, being assimilated, increases into a holy temple in the Lord;

in whom also you are built together into a habitation of God in the Spirit.

one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and above you all, and in all.

but speaking the truth in divine love, let its grow up in him in all things, who is the head, Christ;

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.

who being past feeling have given themselves up to debauchery, unto the working of all impurity with greediness.

that with reference to your former life, you are to lay aside the old man, who is corrupt in the lusts of deception;

and to put on the new man, who has been created in harmony with God in the righteousness and holiness of the truth.

Let no corrupt communication go forth out of your mouth, but if anything is good unto edification of need, in order that he may give grace to those who hear.

And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed unto the day of redemption.

for you are knowing this, that no fornicator, or unclean person, or covetous, who is an idolater, has an inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

Ye servants, obey those who are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in purity of your heart, as unto Christ;

whom I sent to you unto this same thing, in order that you may know the affairs concerning us, and he may comfort your hearts.

Grace be with all who love the Lord Jesus Christ with divine love in purity.

Paul and Timothy, the servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints who are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons.

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

in order that you may be blameless and pure, the children of God, irreproachable, amid a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world,

For I have no one like-minded, who will nobly remember the things concerning you;

For we are the circumcision, who serve the Spirit of God, and boast in Christ Jesus, also having no confidence in the flesh:

Yes truly, I even counted all things loss on account of the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for the sake of whom I suffer the loss of all things, and I consider them but excrements, that I may gain Christ,

For many walk about, of whom I frequently spoke to you, and now I speak even weeping, the enemies of the cross of Christ:

whose end is destruction, whose God is their stomach, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.

who will transform the body of our humility, similitudinous to the body of his own glory, according to the energy by which he is able indeed to subdue all things to himself.

I can do all things through him who fills me up with dynamite.

Salute every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren who are with me 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,

who also having revealed to us your divine love in the Spirit.

giving thanks to the Father, who has made us worthy unto a participation of the inheritance of the saints in light;

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

in whom we have redemption, the remission of sins:

who is the image of the invisible God, being the first begotten of all creation,

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:

to whom God willed to make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, who is Christ in you, the hope of glory:

whom we preach, admonishing every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, in order that we may present every man perfect in Christ;

in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

and you are complete in him, who is the head of all government and authority:

in whom you are also circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of depravity, in the circumcision of Christ;

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:

and having put on the new man, who is renewed into perfect knowledge according to the image of him who created him:

whom I sent unto you for this same thing, in order that you may know the things concerning us, and he may comfort your hearts;

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

Aristarchus my fellow-soldier salutes you, and Mark the cousin of Barnabas concerning whom you received commandments; if he may come to you, receive him;

and Jesus, called Justus, who being of the circumcision: these are my only fellow-laborers in the kingdom of God, who have been made a comfort to me.

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.

For I testify to him, that he always has much solicitude for you, and those who are in Laodicea, and those who are in Hierapolis.

Salute the brethren who are in Laodicea, and Nymphas, and the church which is in their house.

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.

but as we were approved of God that the gospel should be intrusted unto us, so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God who is proving our hearts,

You are witnesses, and God, how sacredly and righteously and blamelessly we were unto you who believed:

and testifying, that you walk worthily of God, who calls you into his own kingdom and glory.

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.

who even killed the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and persecuted us, and are displeasing to God, and hostile to all men;

not in the passion of lust, as indeed the Gentiles who do not know God;

Therefore the one rejecting (sanctification), does not reject man, but God, who indeed gives to you his Holy Spirit.

For we do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who are asleep; in order that you may not sorrow, even as those having no hope.

For if we believe that Jesus died and is risen, so also will God bring with him those who sleep in Jesus.

For we speak this to you in the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left unto the coming of the Lord, can not anticipate those who are asleep,

then we who are alive, who are left, will at the same time along with them be caught up in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air; and so we will be always with the Lord.

For those sleeping, sleep in the night; and those who are drunken, get drunk in the night:

but let us, who are of the day, be sober, having put on the breastplate of faith and divine love; and the helmet, the hope of salvation:

But we intreat you, brethren, to know those who are laboring among you, and standing before you in the Lord, and admonishing you;

Faithful is the one calling you, who indeed will do it.

if indeed it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them who are troubling you,

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

in the fire of flame, dispensing vengeance to those who know not God, and to those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus:

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

when he may come to be glorified among his saints, and among all those who believe, to be wondered at in that day, because our testimony was believed by you.

then indeed will the lawless one be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will remove by the spirit of his mouth, and will exterminate by the brightness of his coming;

and in all the deception of unrighteousness to those who perish; because they did not receive the divine love of the truth, that they might be saved.

in order that they may all be condemned who did not believe the truth, but took pleasure in unrighteousness.

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.

It is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief:

of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have delivered to Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme.

for kings and all who are in authority; in order that we may lead a peaceable and quiet life in all godliness and honesty.

who wishes all men to be saved, and to come to the perfect knowledge of the truth.

And assuredly great is the mystery of godliness; Who is manifested in the flesh, was justified in the spirit, was seen of angels, was preached among the Gentiles, was believed on in the world, was taken up in glory.
