For when, through this work of giving, they see what you are, they give glory to God for the way in which you have given yourselves to the good news of Christ, and for the wealth of your giving to them and to all;
Now I, Paul, myself make request to you by the quiet and gentle behaviour of Christ, I who am poor in spirit when with you, but who say what is in my mind to you without fear when I am away from you:
Putting an end to reasonings, and every high thing which is lifted up against the knowledge of God, and causing every thought to come under the authority of Christ;
Give attention to the things which are before you. If any man seems to himself to be Christ's, let him keep in mind that we are as much Christ's as he is.
For we have no need to make ourselves seem more than we are, as if our authority did not come as far as to you: for we came even as far as you with the good news of Christ:
For I have a very great care for you: because you have been married by me to one husband, and it is my desire to give you completely holy to Christ.
But I have a fear, that in some way, as Eve was tricked by the deceit of the snake, your minds may be turned away from their simple and holy love for Christ.
As the true word of Christ is in me, I will let no man take from me this my cause of pride in the country of Achaia.
For such men are false Apostles, workers of deceit, making themselves seem like apostles of Christ.
Are they servants of Christ? (I am talking foolishly) I am more so; I have had more experience of hard work, of prisons, of blows more than measure, of death.
The God and father of our Lord Jesus Christ, to whom be praise for ever, is witness that the things which I say are true.
I have knowledge of a man in Christ, fourteen years back (if he was in the body, or out of the body, I am not able to say, but God only), who was taken up to the third heaven.
And he said to me, My grace is enough for you, for my power is made complete in what is feeble. Most gladly, then, will I take pride in my feeble body, so that the power of Christ may be on me.
So I take pleasure in being feeble, in unkind words, in needs, in cruel attacks, in troubles, on account of Christ: for when I am feeble, then am I strong.
It may seem to you that all this time we have been attempting to put ourselves in the right; but we are saying these things before God in Christ. For all things, dear brothers, are for your profit.
Seeing that you are looking for a sign of Christ giving out his word in me; who is not feeble in relation to you, but is strong in you:
Make a test of yourselves, if you are in the faith; make certain of yourselves. Or are you not conscious in yourselves that Jesus Christ is in you, if you are truly Christ's?
But it is my hope that you will have no doubt that we are truly Christ's.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the harmony of the Holy Spirit, be with you all.
Paul, an apostle (not from men, and not through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who made him come back from the dead),
Grace to you and peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ,
I am surprised that you are being so quickly turned away from him whose word came to you in the grace of Christ, to good news of a different sort;
Which is not another sort: only there are some who give you trouble, desiring to make changes in the good news of Christ.
Am I now using arguments to men, or God? or is it my desire to give men pleasure? if I was still pleasing men, I would not be a servant of Christ.
For I did not get it from man, and I was not given teaching in it, but it came to me through revelation of Jesus Christ.
And the churches of judaea which were in Christ still had no knowledge of my face or person:
And that because of the false brothers let in secretly, who came searching out our free condition which we have in Christ Jesus, so that they might make servants of us;
Being conscious that a man does not get righteousness by the works of the law, but through faith in Jesus Christ, we had faith in Christ Jesus, so that we might get righteousness by faith in Christ, and not by the works of the law: because by the works of the law will no flesh get righteousness.
But if, while we were desiring to get righteousness through Christ, we ourselves were seen to be sinners, is Christ a servant of sin? In no way!
I have been put to death on the cross with Christ; still I am living; no longer I, but Christ is living in me; and that life which I now am living in the flesh I am living by faith, the faith of the Son of God, who in love for me, gave himself up for me.
I do not make the grace of God of no effect: because if righteousness is through the law, then Christ was put to death for nothing.
O foolish Galatians, by what strange powers have you been tricked, to whom it was made clear that Jesus Christ was put to death on the cross?
Christ has made us free from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us: because it is said in the Writings, A curse on everyone who is put to death by hanging on a tree:
So that on the Gentiles might come the blessing of Abraham in Christ Jesus; in order that we through faith might have the Spirit which God had undertaken to give.
Now to Abraham were the undertakings given, and to his seed. He says not, And to seeds, as of a great number; but as of one, he says, And to your seed, which is Christ.
However, the holy Writings have put all things under sin, so that that for which God gave the undertaking, based on faith in Jesus Christ, might be given to those who have such faith.
So the law has been a servant to take us to Christ, so that we might have righteousness by faith.
Because you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.
For all those of you who were given baptism into Christ did put on Christ.
There is no Jew or Greek, servant or free, male or female: because you are all one in Jesus Christ.
And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's seed, and yours is the heritage by the right of God's undertaking given to Abraham.
And you did not have a poor opinion of me because of the trouble in my flesh, or put shame on it; but you took me to your hearts as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus.
My children, of whom I am again in birth-pains till Christ is formed in you,
Christ has truly made us free: then keep your free condition and let no man put a yoke on you again.
See, I Paul say to you, that if you undergo circumcision, Christ will be of no use to you.
You are cut off from Christ, you who would have righteousness by the law; you are turned away from grace.
Because in Christ Jesus, having circumcision or not having circumcision are equally of no profit; but only faith working through love.
And those who are Christ's have put to death on the cross the flesh with its passions and its evil desires.
Take on yourselves one another's troubles, and so keep the law of Christ.
Those who have the desire to seem important in the flesh, put force on you to undergo circumcision; only that they may not be attacked because of the cross of Christ.
But far be it from me to have glory in anything, but only in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which this world has come to an end on the cross for me, and I for it.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. So be it.
Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the purpose of God, to the saints who are at Ephesus, and those who have faith in Christ Jesus:
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Praise be to the God and father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has given us every blessing of the Spirit in the heavens in Christ:
As we were designed before by him for the position of sons to himself, through Jesus Christ, in the good pleasure of his purpose,
The ordering of the times when they are complete, so that all things might come to a head in Christ, the things in heaven and the things on the earth; in him, I say,
So that his glory might have praise through us who first had hope in Christ:
That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him;
By which he made Christ come back from the dead, and gave him a place at his right hand in heaven,
Even when we were dead through our sins, gave us life together with Christ (by grace you have salvation),
So that we came back from death with him, and are seated with him in the heavens, in Christ Jesus;
That in the time to come he might make clear the full wealth of his grace in his mercy to us in Christ Jesus:
For by his act we were given existence in Christ Jesus to do those good works which God before made ready for us so that we might do them.
That you were at that time without Christ, being cut off from any part in Israel's rights as a nation, having no part in God's agreement, having no hope, and without God in the world.
But now in Christ Jesus you who at one time were far off are made near in the blood of Christ.
Resting on the base of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the chief keystone,
For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for you Gentiles,
By the reading of which you will be clear about my knowledge of the secret of Christ;
Which is that the gentiles have a part in the heritage, and in the same body, and in the same hope in Christ through the good news,
To me, who am less than the least of all the saints, was this grace given, so that I might make clear to the Gentiles the good news of the unending wealth of Christ:
Which is seen in his eternal purpose in Christ Jesus our Lord:
So that Christ may have his place in your hearts through faith; and that you, being rooted and based in love,
And to have knowledge of the love of Christ which is outside all knowledge, so that you may be made complete as God himself is complete.
To him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations for ever and ever. So be it.
But to every one of us has grace been given in the measure of the giving of Christ.
For the training of the saints as servants in the church, for the building up of the body of Christ:
Till we all come to the harmony of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to full growth, to the full measure of Christ:
But saying true words in love, may come to full growth in him, who is the head, even Christ;
For this was not the teaching of Christ which was given to you;
And be kind to one another, full of pity, having forgiveness for one another, even as God in Christ had forgiveness for you.
And be living in love, even as Christ had love for you, and gave himself up for us, an offering to God for a perfume of a sweet smell.
Being certain of this, that no man who gives way to the passions of the flesh, no unclean person, or one who has desire for the property of others, or who gives worship to images, has any heritage in the kingdom of Christ and God.
For this reason he says, Be awake, you who are sleeping, and come up from among the dead, and Christ will be your light.
Giving praise at all times for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to God, even the Father;
Letting yourselves be ruled by one another in the fear of Christ.
For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ is the head of the church, being himself the saviour of the body.
And as the church is under Christ's authority, so let wives be under the rule of their husbands in all things.
Husbands, have love for your wives, even as Christ had love for the church, and gave himself for it;
For no man ever had hate for his flesh; but he gives it food and takes care of it, even as Christ does for the church;
This is a great secret: but my words are about Christ and the church.
Servants, do what is ordered by those who are your natural masters, having respect and fear for them, with all your heart, as to Christ;
Not only under your master's eye, as pleasers of men; but as servants of Christ, doing the pleasure of God from the heart;
Peace be to the brothers, and love with faith, from God the father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Grace be with all those who have true love for our Lord Jesus Christ.
Paul and Timothy, servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus at Philippi, with the Bishops and Deacons of the church:
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
For I am certain of this very thing, that he by whom the good work was started in you will make it complete till the day of Jesus Christ:
For God is my witness, how my love goes out to you all in the loving mercies of Christ Jesus.
So that you may give your approval to the best things; that you may be true and without wrongdoing till the day of Christ;
Being full of the fruits of righteousness, which are through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.
So that it became clear through all the Praetorium, and to all the rest, that I was a prisoner on account of Christ;
Though some are preaching Christ out of envy and competition, others do it out of a good heart:
But those are preaching Christ in a spirit of competition, not from their hearts, but with the purpose of giving me pain in my prison.
What then? only that in every way, falsely or truly, the preaching of Christ goes on; and in this I am glad, and will be glad.
For I am conscious that this will be for my salvation, through your prayer and the giving out of the stored wealth of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,
In the measure of my strong hope and belief that in nothing will I be put to shame, but that without fear, as at all times, so now will Christ have glory in my body, by life or by death.
For to me life is Christ and death is profit.
I am in a hard position between the two, having a desire to go away and be with Christ, which is very much better:
So that your pride in me may be increased in Christ Jesus through my being present with you again.
Only let your behaviour do credit to the good news of Christ, so that if I come and see you or if I am away from you, I may have news of you that you are strong in one spirit, working together with one soul for the faith of the good news;
Because to you it has been given in the cause of Christ not only to have faith in him, but to undergo pain on his account:
If then there is any comfort in Christ, any help given by love, any uniting of hearts in the Spirit, any loving mercies and pity,
Let this mind be in you which was in Christ Jesus,
And that every tongue may give witness that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Offering the word of life; so that I may have glory in you in the day of Christ, because my running was not for nothing and my work was not without effect.
For they all go after what is theirs, not after the things of Christ.
Because for the work of Christ he was near to death, putting his life in danger to make your care for me complete.
For we are the circumcision, who give worship to God and have glory in Jesus Christ, and have no faith in the flesh:
But those things which were profit to me, I gave up for Christ.
Yes truly, and I am ready to give up all things for the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, which is more than all: for whom I have undergone the loss of all things, and to me they are less than nothing, so that I may have Christ as my reward,
And be seen in him, not having my righteousness which is of the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:
Not as if I had even now got the reward or been made complete: but I go on in the hope that I may come to the knowledge of that for which I was made the servant of Christ Jesus.
I go forward to the mark, even the reward of the high purpose of God in Christ Jesus.
For there are those, of whom I have given you word before, and do so now with sorrow, who are haters of the cross of Christ;
For our country is in heaven; from where the saviour for whom we are waiting will come, even the Lord Jesus Christ:
And the peace of God, which is deeper than all knowledge, will keep your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
And my God will give you all you have need of from the wealth of his glory in Christ Jesus.
Give words of love to every saint in Christ Jesus. The brothers who are with me send you their love.
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.
Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, by the purpose of God, and Timothy our brother,
To the saints and true brothers in Christ at Colossae: grace to you and peace from God our Father.
We give praise to God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, making prayer for you at all times,
After hearing of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which you have for all the saints,
As it was given to you by Epaphras, our well-loved helper, who is a true servant of Christ for us,
Now I have joy in my pain because of you, and in my flesh I undergo whatever is still needed to make the sorrows of Christ complete, for the salvation of his body, the church;
To whom God was pleased to give knowledge of the wealth of the glory of this secret among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:
Whom we are preaching; guiding and teaching every man in all wisdom, so that every man may be complete in Christ;
So that their hearts may be comforted, and that being joined together in love, they may come to the full wealth of the certain knowledge of the secret of God, even Christ,
For though I am not present in the flesh, still I am with you in the spirit, seeing with joy your order, and your unchanging faith in Christ.
As, then, you took Christ Jesus the Lord, so go on in him,
Take care that no one takes you away by force, through man's wisdom and deceit, going after the beliefs of men and the theories of the world, and not after Christ:
In whom you had a circumcision not made with hands, in the putting off of the body of the flesh, in the circumcision of Christ;
For these are an image of the things which are to come; but the body is Christ's.
If you were made free, by your death with Christ, from the rules of the world, why do you put yourselves under the authority of orders
If then you have a new life with Christ, give your attention to the things of heaven, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God.
For your life on earth is done, and you have a secret life with Christ in God.
At the coming of Christ who is our life, you will be seen with him in glory.
Where there is no Greek or Jew, no one with circumcision or without circumcision, no division between nations, no servant or free man: but Christ is all and in all.
And let the peace of Christ be ruling in your hearts, as it was the purpose of God for you to be one body; and give praise to God at all times.
Let the word of Christ be in you in all wealth of wisdom; teaching and helping one another with songs of praise and holy words, making melody to God with grace in your hearts.
Being certain that the Lord will give you the reward of the heritage: for you are the servants of the Lord Christ.
And making prayer for us, that God may give us an open door for the preaching of the word, the secret of Christ, for which I am now in chains;
Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ Jesus, sends you his love, ever taking thought for you in his prayers, that you may be complete and fully certain of all the purpose of God.
Paul and Silvanus and Timothy, to the church of the Thessalonians in God the father and the Lord Jesus Christ: grace to you and peace.
Having ever in mind your work of faith and acts of love and the strength of your hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father;
So that you became an example to all those who have faith in Christ in Macedonia and Achaia.
Or looking for glory from men, from you or from others, when we might have made ourselves a care to you as Apostles of Christ.
For you, my brothers, took as your examples the churches of God which are in judaea in Christ Jesus; because you underwent the same things from your countrymen as they did from the Jews;
We sent Timothy, our brother and God's servant in the good news of Christ, to give you strength and comfort in your faith;
Because the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a word of authority, with the voice of the chief angel, with the sound of a horn: and the dead in Christ will come to life first;
For God's purpose for us is not wrath, but salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,
In everything give praise: for this is the purpose of God in Christ Jesus for you.
And may the God of peace himself make you holy in every way; and may your spirit and soul and body be free from all sin at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
Paul and Silvanus and Timothy, to the church of the Thessalonians in God our father and the Lord Jesus Christ:
Grace to you and peace from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
So that glory may be given to the name of our Lord Jesus through you, and you may have glory in him, by the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Now as to the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ, and our meeting with him, it is our desire, my brothers,
And in this purpose he gave you a part through the good news of which we were the preachers, even that you might have part in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our father who had love for us and has given us eternal comfort and good hope through grace,
And may your hearts be guided by the Lord into the love of God and quiet waiting for Christ.
Now we give you orders, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to keep away from all those whose behaviour is not well ordered and in harmony with the teaching which they had from us.
May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.
Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, by the order of God our saviour and Christ Jesus our hope;
To Timothy, my true child in the faith: Grace, mercy, peace, from God the father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
I give praise to him who gave me power, Christ Jesus our Lord, because he took me to be true, making me his servant,
And the grace of our Lord was very great, with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
It is a true saying, in which all may put their faith, that Christ Jesus came into the world to give salvation to sinners, of whom I am the chief:
But for this reason I was given mercy, so that in me, the chief of sinners, Jesus Christ might make clear all his mercy, as an example to those who in the future would have faith in him to eternal life.
For there is one God and one peacemaker between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,
For those who have done good work as Deacons get for themselves a good position and become free from fear in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.
If you keep these things before the minds of the brothers, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, trained in the words of the faith and of the right teaching which has been your guide:
But to the younger widows say No: for when their love is turned away from Christ, they have a desire to be married;
I give you orders before God and Christ Jesus and the angels of God's selection, to keep these orders without giving thought to one side more than another.
If any man gives different teaching, not in agreement with the true words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and with the teaching which is in agreement with true religion,
I give you orders before God, the giver of life, and Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate gave witness to the faith,
To keep the word untouched by evil, clear from all shame, till the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ:
Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the purpose of God, in the hope of the life which is in Christ Jesus,
To Timothy, my well-loved child: Grace, mercy, peace, from God the father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
Who gave us salvation, marking us out for his purpose, not on account of our works, but in the measure of his purpose and his grace, which was given to us in Christ Jesus before times eternal,
But has now been made clear by the revelation of our saviour Christ Jesus, who put an end to death and made life unending come to light through the good news,
Keep the form of those true words which you had from me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
So then, my child, be strong in the grace which is in Christ Jesus.
Be ready to do without the comforts of life, as one of the army of Christ Jesus.
Keep in mind Jesus Christ, of the seed of David, who came back from the dead, as my good news gives witness:
But I undergo all things for the saints, so that they may have salvation in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.
Yes, and all whose purpose is to be living in the knowledge of God in Christ Jesus, will be cruelly attacked.
And that from the time when you were a child, you have had knowledge of the holy Writings, which are able to make you wise to salvation, through faith in Christ Jesus.
I give you orders, before God and Christ Jesus, who will be the judge of the living and the dead, and by his revelation and his kingdom;
Paul, a servant of God, and an Apostle of Jesus Christ, in agreement with the faith of the saints of God and the full knowledge of what is true in harmony with religion,
To Titus, my true child in our common faith: Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Saviour.
Looking for the glad hope, the revelation of the glory of our great God and saviour Jesus Christ;
Which he gave us freely through Jesus Christ our Saviour;
Paul, a prisoner of Jesus Christ, and Timothy our brother, to Philemon, our dear helper in the faith,
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
That the faith which you have in common with them may be working with power, in the knowledge of every good thing in you, for Christ.
And so, though I might, in the name of Christ, give you orders to do what is right,
Still, because of love, in place of an order, I make a request to you, I, Paul, an old man and now a prisoner of Christ Jesus:
So brother, let me have joy of you in the Lord: give new life to my heart in Christ.
Epaphras, my brother-prisoner in Christ Jesus, sends you his love;
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. So be it.
But Christ as a son, over his house; whose house are we, if we keep our hearts fixed in the glad and certain hope till the end.
For if we keep the substance of the faith which we had at the start, even till the end, we have a part with Christ;
In the same way Christ did not take for himself the glory of being made a high priest, but was given it by him who said, You are my Son, this day I have given you being:
For this reason let us go on from the first things about Christ to full growth; not building again that on which it is based, that is, the turning of the heart from dead works, and faith in God,
But now Christ has come as the high priest of the good things of the future, through this greater and better Tent, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this world,
How much more will the blood of Christ, who, being without sin, made an offering of himself to God through the Holy Spirit, make your hearts clean from dead works to be servants of the living God?
For Christ did not go into a holy place which had been made by men's hands as the copy of the true one; but he went into heaven itself, and now takes his place before the face of God for us.
So Christ, having at his first coming taken on himself the sins of men, will be seen a second time, without sin, by those who are waiting for him, for their salvation.
By that pleasure we have been made holy, by the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once and for ever.
Judging a part in the shame of Christ to be better than all the wealth of Egypt; for he was looking forward to his reward.
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and for ever.
Make you full of every good work and ready to do all his desires, working in us whatever is pleasing in his eyes through Jesus Christ; and may the glory be given to him for ever and ever. So be it.
James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, sends words of love to the twelve tribes of the Jews living in all parts of the earth.
My brothers, if you have the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ of glory, do not take a man's position into account.

Let us love one another, for love comes from God and every one who loves is a child of God and knows God. He who loves not man does not know God, for God is love. God showed his love for us, for he sent his only Son into the world that through him we might have life. Love the stranger.
In Mark 12:30 Jesus said;
And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this [is] the first commandment.
And the second Mark 12:31 [is] like, [namely] this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.
