We who are Jews by nature,

But if while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is Christ therefore the minister of sin?

Are ye so thoughtless? Having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?

Know then, that they who are of faith, these are the sons of Abraham.

So then they who are of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham. For as many as are of the works of the law are under a curse;

for it is written, Cursed is every one who continueth not in all the things which are written in the book of the law, to do them.

But faith being come, we are no longer under a school-master.

For ye are all sons of God by faith in Jesus Christ.

There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female; for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.

And if ye are Christ's, then are ye the seed of Abraham, and heirs according to the promise.

And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying Abba, Father.

Indeed then, when ye knew not God, ye served them that by nature are not gods.

Which things are an allegory; for these are the two covenants; one from mount Sinai, bearing children to bondage, which is Agar.

Now we, brethren, like Isaac, are children of promise.

So then, brethren, we are not children of the bond-woman, but of the free.

Christ is become of no effect to you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.

For the flesh desireth against the Spirit, but the Spirit desireth against the flesh (these are contrary to each other) that ye may not do the things which ye would.

But if ye are led by the Spirit, ye are not under the law.

Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these, adultery, fornication,

And they that are Christ's, have crucified the flesh with its affections and desires.

Brethren, if a man be overtaken in any fault, ye who are spiritual restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.

Therefore as we have opportunity, let us do good unto all men; but especially to them who are of the houshold of faith.

For neither they who are circumcised keep the law; but they desire to have you circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh.

Paul an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints who are at Ephesus,

That in the dispensation of the fulness of the times, he might gather together into one in Christ all things which are in heaven, and which are in earth,

through his great love wherewith he loved us, Hath quickened us together with Christ, even when we were dead in trespasses, (by grace ye are saved) And hath raised us up together,

For by grace ye are saved through faith; and this not of yourselves:

For we are his workmanship, created through Christ Jesus unto good works, which God had before prepared, that we might walk in them.

But now through Christ Jesus, ye who were once far off are brought nigh by the blood of Christ.

Therefore ye are no longer strangers, and foreigners, but fellow-citizens with the saints and of the houshold of God,

On whom ye also are built together, for an habitation of God through the Spirit.

That the Gentiles are fellow-heirs, and of the same body, and joint-partakers of his promise by Christ through the gospel,

I therefore the prisoner of the Lord beseech you, to walk worthy of the calling wherewith ye are called,

There is one body and one Spirit, as ye are also called in one hope of your calling;

Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour; for we are members one of another.

And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.

Neither obscenity, nor foolish talking, or jesting, which are not convenient, but rather thanksgiving.

For ye were once darkness, but now ye are light in the Lord:

For it is a shame even to speak the things which are done by them in secret.

But all things which are reproved are made manifest by the light; for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.

not as fools, but as wise men, Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.

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

That ye may try the things that are excellent, that ye may be sincere and without offence unto the day of Christ,

Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are through Christ Jesus, to the glory and praise of God.

And many of the brethren trusting in the Lord through my bonds, are more abundantly bold to speak the word without fear.

beware of the concision, For we are the circumcision, who worship God in the spirit, and glory in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.

But one thing I do, forgetting the things that are behind, and reaching forth unto the things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, be thus minded; and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.

(For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are enemies of the cross of Christ: Whose end is destruction,

And I intreat thee also, true yoke-fellow, help those women who laboured together with me in the gospel, with both Clement and my other fellow-labourers, whose names are in the book of life.

Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report: if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things:

Amen. Salute every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren who are with me salute you.

All the saints salute you, chiefly they that are of C?sar's houshold.

For through him were created all things, that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible; whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers; all things were created by him and for him.

If ye continue in the faith, grounded and settled, and are not removed from the hope of the gospel which ye have heard, which is preached to every creature that is under heaven, whereof I Paul am made a minister.

both the Father and Christ, In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

And ye are filled by him, who is the head of all principality and power.

By whom also ye are circumcised with a circumcision not made with hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ:

Buried with him in baptism, by which ye are also risen with him, through the faith of the operation of God, who raised him from the dead.

Let none therefore judge you in meat, or drink, or in respect of a feast-day, or of the new-moon, or of sabbath-days: Which are shadow of things to come;

Therefore if ye are dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as living in the world, receive ye ordinances,

All which are to perish in the using) after the commandments and doctrines of men?

Which things (though they have indeed a shew of wisdom, in voluntary worship and humility, and not sparing the body) yet are not of any value, but are to the satisfying of the flesh.

If ye then are risen with Christ, seek the things above, where Christ sitteth at the right-hand of God.

For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.

Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth, fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry:

And the peace of God shall rule in your hearts, to which also ye are called in one body: and be ye thankful.

Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time.

With Onesimus, a faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you: they will make known to you all things that are done here.

receive him,) And Jesus, called Justus, who are of the circumcision: these are the only fellow-workers unto the kingdom of God, who have been a comfort to me.

Ye are witnesses and God, how holily and justly and unblameably we behaved among you that believe:

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

Who both killed the Lord Jesus and their own prophets, and have persecuted us: and they please not God, and are contrary to all men.

For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Are not ye also before our Lord Jesus at his coming?

For ye are our glory and joy.

That no one might be moved by these afflictions; for ye know that we are appointed hereto.

Touching brotherly love, we need not write to you: for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another.

And indeed ye do it toward all the brethren that are in all Macedonia; but we exhort you, brethren, that ye increase more and more,

That ye may walk decently toward them that are without, and may want nothing.

Now we would not have you ignorant, brethren, concerning them that are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others who have no hope.

For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left to the coming of the Lord, shall not prevent them that are asleep.

Then we who are alive, who are left, shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air; and so shall we be ever with the Lord.

But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.

Ye are all children of the light and children of the day: we are not children of the night, nor of darkness.

For they that sleep, sleep in the night, and they that are drunken are drunken in the night.

But let us who are of the day keep awake, having put on the breast-plate of faith and love, and for an helmet the hope of salvation.

and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you, And to esteem them very highly in love for their works sake, and be at peace among yourselves.

We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because your faith groweth exceedingly, and the love of every one of you all toward each other aboundeth.

And to you that are afflicted rest with us, at the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven with his mighty angels,

But we are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren, beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to Salvation, thro' sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth.

For we hear there are some among you who walk disorderly, doing nothing, but being busy-bodies.

From which some, having missed the mark, are turned aside to vain jangling:

Among which are Hymeneus and Alexander, whom I have delivered to satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme.

For kings and all that are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.

He ought also to have a good report from them that are without, lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.

Honour widows that are widows indeed. But if any widow have children or grand children, let these learn first to shew piety at home,

But the younger widows refuse; for when they are waxed wanton against Christ, they want to marry;

For some are already turned aside after Satan.

If any believing man or woman hath widows, let them relieve them; and let not the church be burthened, that it may relieve them that are widows indeed.
