Yea doubtless and I count all but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all, and I account them but dung, that I may gain Christ, and be found in Him,

not that I have yet won the prize, or am already perfect: but I press forward to acquire that perfection, for which also I have been apprehended by Christ Jesus.

I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

from whence also we expect the Saviour, our Lord Jesus Christ: who will change our vile body,

And the peace of God, which surpasseth all understanding, shall guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

And my God will supply all your wants, according to his riches, in glory, by Christ Jesus.

Salute every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren that are with me salute you:

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

Paul an apostle of Jesus Christ, by the will of God,

and Timothy our brother, to the holy and faithful brethren in Christ at Colosse: grace be to you and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

We give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, always in our prayers for you:

(having heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and your love to all the saints:)

whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:

Therefore as ye have received Christ Jesus the Lord, walk in Him;

And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to our God and Father by Him.

Aristarchus my fellow-prisoner saluteth you, and Marcus nephew to Barnabas, concerning whom ye have received orders; (if he come to you, receive him;) and Jesus who is called Justus:

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

Incessantly remembering your work of faith, and labor of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father:

and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead, even Jesus who delivereth us from the wrath to come.

For ye, brethren, became followers of the churches of God, which are in Judea, in Christ Jesus, in that ye also have suffered the same things from your own countrymen, as they have from the Jews:

who both killed the Lord Jesus, and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; who are displeasing to God, and contrary to all men:

For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of boasting? are not ye also among others in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming?

And may God himself even our Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ direct our way to you:

that your hearts may be established unblameable in holiness, before God even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, with all his saints.

As to what remains therefore, my brethren, we intreat and exhort you by the Lord Jesus, that as ye have received instructions from us, how ye ought to walk and to please God, ye would abound therein more and more.

For ye know what commandments we gave you from the Lord Jesus.

for if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, so also those, that sleep in Jesus, will God bring with Him.

For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to the obtaining of salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,

In every circumstance be thankful; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

And may the God of peace Himself sanctify you wholly: and grant that your whole frame, spirit, soul, and body may be kept blameless to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.

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

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

and to you, who are in trouble, rest with us, at the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven,

with his mighty angels, in flaming fire, taking vengeance on those who know not God, and who obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:

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

But as to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and our gathering together unto Him,

to which He hath called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

And may our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and our God and Father, who hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation, and good hope through grace, comfort your hearts,

Now we charge you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to withdraw yourselves from every brother who walketh disorderly, and not according to the instruction which he received from us.

Such we charge and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ, that they work quietly and earn their own bread.

"The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all." Amen.

Paul an apostle of Jesus Christ by the appointment of God our Saviour, and the Lord Jesus Christ our hope,

to Timothy my true son in the faith, be grace, mercy, and peace from God our Father, and Christ Jesus our Lord.

And I give thanks to Christ Jesus our Lord, who gave me ability for the work, that He accounted me faithful, having put me into the ministry,

with faith and love in Christ Jesus.

It is a truth highly to be believed, and worthy to be received by all, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners:---of whom I am one of the chief.

But for this end I obtained mercy, that in me a chief sinner Jesus Christ might display his long-suffering, for an example to those who should afterwards believe on Him to eternal life.

For there is one God, and one Mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus:

For they, that discharge the office of a deacon well, gain to themselves a good degree of honor, and much freedom in promoting the faith that is in Christ Jesus.

If thou lay these things before the brethren, thou wilt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, as one brought up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, to which thou hast attained.

I charge thee before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the elect angels, that thou keep to these things without preference of persons, doing nothing with partiality.

These things teach and exhort. If any one teach otherwise, and adhere not to the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the doctrine which is according to godliness;

I charge thee before God, who giveth life to all, and before Christ Jesus who witnessed a good confession before Pontius Pilate,

that thou keep this commandment, unspotted and blameless, till the appearance of our Lord Jesus Christ;

Paul an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, according to the promise of life in Christ Jesus,

to Timothy my beloved son, grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father, and from Christ Jesus our Lord.

who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose, and grace bestowed upon us through Christ Jesus, before the world was,

but now made manifest by the appearance of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and brought life and immortality to light by the gospel: for which I was appointed an herald,

Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard from me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace which is in Christ Jesus:

Do thou therefore endure hardship, as becomes a good soldier of Jesus Christ.

Remember Jesus Christ of the seed of David, who was raised from the dead, according to my gospel:

Therefore I submit to every thing for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain the salvation which is by Christ Jesus, with eternal glory.

And indeed all, that are desirous to live godly in Christ Jesus, shall suffer persecution.

and that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation, through faith in Christ Jesus: for all scripture is by inspiration from God,

I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at his appearing, in his kingdom;

The Lord Jesus Christ be with thy spirit. Grace be with you all. Amen.

Paul a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, for promoting the faith of God's chosen people, and the knowledge of the truth which is according to godliness:

to Titus my son in the common faith, grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour.

looking for the blessed hope, and glorious appearance of the great God, and our Saviour, Jesus Christ:

which He hath plentifully shed upon us, through Jesus Christ our Saviour:

Paul a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy a brother, to Philemon our beloved brother and fellow-laborer, and to the beloved Apphia,

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

(hearing of the faith which thou hast towards the Lord Jesus, and of thy love to all the saints,)

that the communication of thy faith may become effectual in the acknowledgement of all the good that is in you towards Christ Jesus:

I would rather intreat thee out of love to me, being such a one as Paul the aged, and now a prisoner too for the sake of Jesus Christ.

Epaphras my fellow-prisoner in Christ Jesus, and Marcus,

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

But we see Jesus, who was made for a little while lower than the angels, in order to suffer death, that by the grace of God He might taste death for every man, crowned with glory and honor.

Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the apostle and high-priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;

Having therefore a great high-priest, that is passed into the heavens, even Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession:

Whither Jesus our fore-runner is entered for us, being made an high-priest for ever, after the order of Melchisedec.

by so much is Jesus become the surety of a better covenant.

By which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

Having therefore, brethren, free admission into the holy places by the blood of Jesus,

looking unto Jesus the leader and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

and to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than Abel.

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, to day, and for ever:

Wherefore Jesus also, that He might sanctify the people by his own blood, suffered without the gate.

Now the God of peace, who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great shepherd of the sheep, by the blood of the everlasting covenant,

make you perfect in every good work, to do his will, working in you that which is well-pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

James a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes in dispersion sendeth greeting.

My brethren, hold not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, in a partial respect of persons.

Peter an apostle of Jesus Christ to the strangers who are dispersed through Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia,

Asia, and Bithynia, chosen according to the fore-knowledge of God, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience, and to the sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ,---may grace and peace be multiplied unto you.

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his abundant mercy hath regenerated us to a lively hope, by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

That the proof of your faith, which is much more precious than of gold, (that perisheth, though tried by fire) may be found unto praise, and honor, and glory, when Jesus Christ shall be revealed:

Wherefore girding up the loins of your mind, be sober, and stedfastly hope for the grace to be conferred upon you at the appearing of Jesus Christ;

and precious, ye also are built up as living stones, a spiritual house, an holy priesthood to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
