And I pray this, that your divine love may yet more and more abound in perfect knowledge and all understanding; in order that you may distinguish those things which differ; that you may be pure and without offence in the day of Christ; being filled with the fruit of righteousness, through Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.

Not that I already received it, or have already been made perfect: but I persevere, if I may receive that for which I have indeed been received by Christ Jesus. Brethren, I do not consider that I have yet received it; but there is one thing, indeed forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forward to those which are before, I press toward the goal unto the mark of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. read more.
Therefore let us, so many as are perfect, think the same thing: and if you think otherwise in any respect, God will also reveal this to you:

that you may walk worthily of the Lord in all loyalty, in every good work bearing fruit, and increasing in the perfect knowledge of God. being impowered with all power, according to the might of his glory, in all patience and longsuffering with joy;

and the Lord fill you and cause you to superabound in divine love toward one another, and toward all, even as we also do towards you; in order to establish your hearts blameless in holiness in the presence of God even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his saints: amen.

Therefore having left the word of the beginning of Christ, let us be carried to perfection; not again laying the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, of the teaching of baptisms, and of the laying on of hands, and of the resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. And we will do this, if God may permit.

Therefore having laid aside all evil, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envyings, and all calumniations; like newly born babes, desire the pure milk of the word, in order that you may grow thereby unto salvation: if you have tasted that the Lord is good.

in order that you may distinguish those things which differ; that you may be pure and without offence in the day of Christ; being filled with the fruit of righteousness, through Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God. But I wish you, brethren, to know that the affairs appertaining to me have turned out rather unto the promotion of the gospel. read more.
So that my bonds in Christ are manifest in all the pretorian army, and to all the rest; and many of the brethren in the Lord, being confident through my bonds, are bold to speak the word of God more fluently without fear. Some indeed through envy and strife, and some through good will, are preaching Christ: the latter from divine love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel: the former from self-seeking are proclaiming Christ insincerely, thinking that they will add affliction to my bonds. For what is it? moreover that in every place, whether in pretext or in truth, Christ is proclaimed; and I rejoice in this, yes, and I will rejoice. For I know that this will turn out to me unto salvation, through your prayer and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, according to my earnest expectation and hope, that I shall be ashamed in nothing, but with all boldness, as always, even now Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life, or by death. For Christ is my life, and death is my gain. But if to live in the flesh, this shall be to me the fruit of the work, indeed I know not what I shall ask.
