But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:

But ye have not so learned Christ;

And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;

Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.

And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.

But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;

For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:

And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.

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

This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.

Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.

But that ye also may know my affairs, and how I do, Tychicus, a beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord, shall make known to you all things:

But I would ye should understand, brethren, that the things which happened unto me have fallen out rather unto the furtherance of the gospel;

Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will:

But the other of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel.

But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labour: yet what I shall choose I wot not.

Nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more needful for you.

And in nothing terrified by your adversaries: which is to them an evident token of perdition, but to you of salvation, and that of God.

And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

For the same cause also do ye joy, and rejoice with me.

But I trust in the Lord Jesus to send Timotheus shortly unto you, that I also may be of good comfort, when I know your state.

But ye know the proof of him, that, as a son with the father, he hath served with me in the gospel.

But I trust in the Lord that I also myself shall come shortly.

Yet I supposed it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, and companion in labour, and fellowsoldier, but your messenger, and he that ministered to my wants.

For indeed he was sick nigh unto death: but God had mercy on him; and not on him only, but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow.

Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not grievous, but for you it is safe.

Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.

Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,

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

But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at the last your care of me hath flourished again; wherein ye were also careful, but ye lacked opportunity.

I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.

Now ye Philippians know also, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church communicated with me as concerning giving and receiving, but ye only.

But I have all, and abound: I am full, having received of Epaphroditus the things which were sent from you, an odour of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, wellpleasing to God.

But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

Now unto God and our Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

All the saints salute you, chiefly they that are of Caesar's household.

And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled

Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints:

And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing words.

Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.

But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.

And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.

But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.

Forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they might be saved, to fill up their sins alway: for the wrath is come upon them to the uttermost.

But we, brethren, being taken from you for a short time in presence, not in heart, endeavoured the more abundantly to see your face with great desire.

But now when Timotheus came from you unto us, and brought us good tidings of your faith and charity, and that ye have good remembrance of us always, desiring greatly to see us, as we also to see you:

Now God himself and our Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way unto you.

And the Lord make you to increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all men, even as we do toward you:

But as touching brotherly love ye need not that I write unto you: for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another.

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