Gal 3:5 He therefore who giveth to you the Spirit and worketh miracles among you: doth he do it by the works of the law or by the hearing of the faith? Gal 3:6 As it is written: Abraham believed God: and it was reputed to him unto justice. Gal 3:7 Know ye, therefore, that they who are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham. Gal 3:8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God justifieth the Gentiles by faith, told unto Abraham before: In thee shall all nations be blessed. Gal 3:9 Therefore, they that are of faith shall be blessed with faithful Abraham. Gal 3:10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under a curse. For it is written: Cursed is every one that abideth, not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them. Gal 3:11 But that in the law no man is justified with God, it is manifest: because the just man liveth by faith. Gal 3:12 But the law is not of faith: but he that doth those things shall live in them. Gal 3:13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us (for it is written: Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree). Gal 3:14 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Christ Jesus: that we may receive the promise of the Spirit by faith.

Gal 3:15 Brethren (I speak after the manner of man), yet a man's testament, if it be confirmed, no man despiseth nor addeth to it. Gal 3:16 To Abraham were the promises made and to his seed. He saith not: And to his seeds as of many. But as of one: And to thy seed, which is Christ. Gal 3:17 Now this I say: that the testament which was confirmed by God, the law which was made after four hundred and thirty years doth not disannul, to make the promise of no effect. Gal 3:18 For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise. But God gave it to Abraham by promise. Gal 3:19 Why then was the law? It was set because of transgressions, until the seed should come to whom he made the promise, being ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator. Gal 3:20 Now a mediator is not of one: but God is one. Gal 3:21 Was the law then against the promises of God: God forbid! For if there had been a law given which could give life, verily justice should have been by the law. Gal 3:22 But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise, by the faith of Jesus Christ, might be given to them that believe.

Gal 3:23 But before the faith came, we were kept under the law shut up, unto that faith which was to be revealed. Gal 3:24 Wherefore the law was our pedagogue in Christ: that we might be justified by faith. Gal 3:25 But after the faith is come, we are no longer under a pedagogue. Gal 3:26 For you are all the children of God, by faith in Christ Jesus. Gal 3:27 For as many of you as have been baptized in Christ have put on Christ. Gal 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek: there is neither bond nor free: there is neither male nor female. For you are all one in Christ Jesus. Gal 3:29 And if you be Christ's, then are you the seed of Abraham, heirs according to the promise. Gal 4:1 As long as the heir is a child, he differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all, Gal 4:2 But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed by the father. Gal 4:3 So we also, when we were children, were serving under the elements of the world. Gal 4:4 But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent his Son, made of a woman, made under the law: Gal 4:5 That he might redeem them who were under the law: that we might receive the adoption of sons. Gal 4:6 And because you are sons, God hath sent the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying: Abba, Father.

Gal 4:7 Therefore, now he is not a servant, but a son. And if a son, an heir also through God. Gal 4:8 But then indeed, not knowing God, you served them who, by nature, are not gods. Gal 4:9 But now, after that you have known God, or rather are known by God: how turn you again to the weak and needy elements which you desire to serve again? Gal 4:10 You observe days and months and times, and years. Gal 4:11 I am afraid of you, lest perhaps I have laboured in vain among you. Gal 4:12 Be ye as I, because I also am as you brethren, I beseech you. You have not injured me at all. Gal 4:13 And you know how, through infirmity of the flesh, I preached the gospel to you heretofore: and your temptation in my flesh Gal 4:14 You despised not, nor rejected: but received me as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus. Gal 4:15 Where is then your blessedness? For I bear you witness that, if it could be done, you would have plucked out your own eyes and would have given them to me. Gal 4:16 Am I then become your enemy, because I tell you the truth? Gal 4:17 They are zealous in your regard not well: but they would exclude you, that you might be zealous for them. Gal 4:18 But be zealous for that which is good in a good thing always: and not only when I am present with you.

Gal 4:19 My little children, of whom I am in labour again, until Christ be formed in you. Gal 4:20 And I would willingly be present with you now and change my voice: because I am ashamed for you. Gal 4:21 Tell me, you that desire to be under the law, have you not read the law? Gal 4:22 For it is written that Abraham had two sons: the one by a bondwoman and the other by a free woman. Gal 4:23 But he who was of the bondwoman was born according to the flesh: but he of the free woman was by promise. Gal 4:24 Which things are said by an allegory. For these are the two testaments. The one from Mount Sina, engendering unto bondage, which is Agar. Gal 4:25 For Sina is a mountain in Arabia, which hath affinity to that Jerusalem which now is: and is in bondage with her children. Gal 4:26 But that Jerusalem which is above is free: which is our mother. Gal 4:27 For it is written: Rejoice, thou barren, that bearest not: break forth and cry thou that travailest not: for many are the children of the desolate, more than of her that hath a husband. Gal 4:28 Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.

Gal 4:29 But as then he that was born according to the flesh persecuted him that was after the spirit: so also it is now. Gal 4:30 But what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the free woman. Gal 4:31 So then, brethren, we are not the children of the bondwoman but of the free: by the freedom wherewith Christ has made us free. Gal 5:1 Stand fast and be not held again under the yoke of bondage. Gal 5:2 Behold, I Paul tell you, that if you be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing. Gal 5:3 And I testify again to every man circumcising himself that he is a debtor to do the whole law. Gal 5:4 You are made void of Christ, you who are justified in the law: you are fallen from grace. Gal 5:5 For we in spirit, by faith, wait for the hope of justice. Gal 5:6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing nor uncircumcision: but faith that worketh by Charity. Gal 5:7 You did run well. What hath hindered you, that you should not obey the truth? Gal 5:8 This persuasion is not from him that calleth you. Gal 5:9 A little leaven corrupteth the whole lump.

Gal 5:10 I have confidence in you in the Lord that you will not be of another mind: but he that troubleth you shall bear the judgment, whosoever he be. Gal 5:11 And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why do I yet suffer persecution? Then is the scandal of the cross made void. Gal 5:12 I would they were even cut off, who trouble you. Gal 5:13 For you, brethren, have been called unto liberty. Only make not liberty an occasion to the flesh: but by charity of the spirit serve one another. Gal 5:14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word: Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. Gal 5:15 But if you bite and devour one another: take heed you be not consumed one of another. Gal 5:16 I say then: Walk in the spirit: and you shall not fulfill the lusts of the flesh. Gal 5:17 For the flesh lusteth against the spirit: and the spirit against the flesh: For these are contrary one to another: so that you do not the things that you would. Gal 5:18 But if you are led by the spirit, you are not under the law. Gal 5:19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest: which are fornication, uncleanness, immodesty, luxury, Gal 5:20 Idolatry, witchcrafts, enmities, contentions, emulations, wraths, quarrels, dissensions, sects, Gal 5:21 Envies, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like. Of the which I foretell you, as I have foretold to you, that they who do such things shall not obtain the kingdom of God. Gal 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is, charity, joy, peace, patience, benignity, goodness, longanimity, Gal 5:23 Mildness, faith, modesty, continency, chastity. Against such there is no law. Gal 5:24 And they that are Christ's have crucified their flesh, with the vices and concupiscences. Gal 5:25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Gal 5:26 Let us not be made desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another. Gal 6:1 Brethren, and if a man be overtaken in any fault, you, who are spiritual, instruct such a one in the spirit of meekness, considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. Gal 6:2 Bear ye one another's burdens: and so you shall fulfil the law of Christ. Gal 6:3 For if any man think himself to be some thing, whereas he is nothing, he deceiveth himself. Gal 6:4 But let every one prove his own work: and so he shall have glory in himself only and not in another. Gal 6:5 For every one shall bear his own burden.

Gal 6:6 And let him that is instructed in the word communicate to him that instructeth him, in all good things. Gal 6:7 Be not deceived: God is not mocked. Gal 6:8 For what things a man shall sow, those also shall he reap. For he that soweth in his flesh of the flesh also shall reap corruption. But he that soweth in the spirit of the spirit shall reap life everlasting. Gal 6:9 And in doing good, let us not fail. For in due time we shall reap, not failing. Gal 6:10 Therefore, whilst we have time, let us work good to all men, but especially to those who are of the household of the faith. Gal 6:11 See what a letter I have written to you with my own hand. Gal 6:12 For as many as desire to please in the flesh, they constrain you to be circumcised, only that they may not suffer the persecution of the cross of Christ. Gal 6:13 For neither they themselves who are circumcised keep the law: but they will have you to be circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh. Gal 6:14 But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ: by whom the world is crucified to me, and I to the world. Gal 6:15 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision: but a new creature.

Gal 6:16 And whosoever shall follow this rule, peace on them and mercy: and upon the Israel of God. Gal 6:17 From henceforth let no man be troublesome to me: for I bear the marks of the Lord Jesus in my body. Gal 6:18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brethren. Amen.

Eph 1:1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, by the will of God, to all the saints who are at Ephesus and to the faithful in Christ Jesus. Eph 1:2 Grace be to you and peace, from God the Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ. Eph 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with spiritual blessings in heavenly places, in Christ: Eph 1:4 As he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and unspotted in his sight in charity. Eph 1:5 Who hath predestinated us unto the adoption of children through Jesus Christ unto himself: according to the purpose of his will: Eph 1:6 Unto the praise of the glory of his grace, in which he hath graced us, in his beloved son. Eph 1:7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the remission of sins, according to the riches of his, grace, Eph 1:8 Which hath superabounded in us, in all wisdom and prudence, Eph 1:9 That he might make known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure, which he hath purposed in him, Eph 1:10 In the dispensation of the fulness of times, to re-establish all things in Christ, that are in heaven and on earth, in him. Eph 1:11 In whom we also are called by lot, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things according to the counsel of his will. Eph 1:12 That we may be unto the praise of his glory: we who before hoped in Christ: Eph 1:13 In whom you also, after you had heard the word of truth (the gospel of your salvation), in whom also believing, you were signed with the holy Spirit of promise. Eph 1:14 Who is the pledge of our inheritance, unto the redemption of acquisition, unto the praise of his glory. Eph 1:15 Wherefore, I also, hearing of your faith that is in the Lord Jesus and of your love towards all the saints, Eph 1:16 Cease not to give thanks for you, making commemoration of you in my prayers, Eph 1:17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and of revelation, in the knowledge of him: Eph 1:18 The eyes of your heart enlightened that you may know what the hope is of his calling and what are the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints. Eph 1:19 And what is the exceeding greatness of his power towards us, who believe according to the operation of the might of his power, Eph 1:20 Which he wrought in Christ, raising him up from the dead and setting him on his right hand in the heavenly places. Eph 1:21 Above all principality and power and virtue and dominion and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come.

Eph 1:22 And he hath subjected all things under his feet and hath made him head over all the church, Eph 1:23 Which is his body and the fulness of him who is filled all in all. Eph 2:1 And you, when you were dead in your offences and sins, Eph 2:2 Wherein in time past you walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of this air, of the spirit that now worketh on the children of unbelief: Eph 2:3 In which also we all conversed in time past, in the desires of our flesh, fulfilling the will of the flesh and of our thoughts, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest: Eph 2:4 But God (who is rich in mercy) for his exceeding charity wherewith he loved us Eph 2:5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together in Christ (by whose grace you are saved) Eph 2:6 And hath raised us up together and hath made us sit together in the heavenly places, through Christ Jesus. Eph 2:7 That he might shew in the ages to come the abundant riches of his grace, in his bounty towards us in Christ Jesus. Eph 2:8 For by grace you are saved through faith: and that not of yourselves, for it is the gift of God. Eph 2:9 Not of works, that no man may glory.

Eph 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus in good works, which God hath prepared that we should walk in them. Eph 2:11 For which cause be mindful that you, being heretofore gentiles is the flesh, who are called uncircumcision by that which is called circumcision in the flesh, made by hands: Eph 2:12 That you were at that time without Christ, being aliens from the conversation of Israel and strangers to the testament, having no hope of the promise and without God in this world. Eph 2:13 But now in Christ Jesus, you, who some time were afar off, are made nigh by the blood of Christ. Eph 2:14 For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and breaking down the middle wall of partition, the enmities in his flesh: Eph 2:15 Making void the law of commandments contained in decrees: that he might make the two in himself into one new man, making peace Eph 2:16 And might reconcile both to God in one body by the cross, killing the enmities in himself. Eph 2:17 And coming, he preached peace to you that were afar off: and peace to them that were nigh. Eph 2:18 For by him we have access both in one Spirit to the Father.

Eph 2:19 Now therefore you are no more strangers and foreigners: but you are fellow citizens with the saints and the domestics of God, Eph 2:20 Built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone: Eph 2:21 In whom all the building, being framed together, groweth up into an holy temple in the Lord. Eph 2:22 In whom you also are built together into an habitation of God in the Spirit. Eph 3:1 For this cause, I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ, for you Gentiles: Eph 3:2 If yet you have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me towards you: Eph 3:3 How that, according to revelation, the mystery has been made known to me, as I have written above in a few words: Eph 3:4 As you reading, may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ, Eph 3:5 Which in other generations was not known to the sons of men, as it is now revealed to his holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit: Eph 3:6 That the Gentiles should be fellow heirs and of the same body: and copartners of his promise in Christ Jesus, by the gospel Eph 3:7 Of which I am made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God, which is given to me according to the operation of his power. Eph 3:8 To me, the least of all the saints, is given this grace, to preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ: Eph 3:9 And to enlighten all men, that they may see what is the dispensation of the mystery which hath been hidden from eternity in God who created all things: Eph 3:10 That the manifold wisdom of God may be made known to the principalities and powers in heavenly places through the church, Eph 3:11 According to the eternal purpose which he made in Christ Jesus our Lord: Eph 3:12 In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him. Eph 3:13 Wherefore I pray you not to faint at my tribulations for you, which is your glory. Eph 3:14 For this cause I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Eph 3:15 Of whom all paternity in heaven and earth is named: Eph 3:16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened by his Spirit with might unto the inward man: Eph 3:17 That Christ may dwell by faith in your hearts: that, being rooted and founded in charity, Eph 3:18 You may be able to comprehend, with all the saints, what is the breadth and length and height and depth, Eph 3:19 To know also the charity of Christ, which surpasseth all knowledge: that you may be filled unto all the fulness of God. Eph 3:20 Now to him who is able to do all things more abundantly than we desire or understand, according to the power that worketh in us: Eph 3:21 To him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus, unto all generations, world without end. Amen. Eph 4:1 I therefore, a prisoner in the Lord, beseech you that you walk worthy of the vocation in which you are called: Eph 4:2 With all humility and mildness, with patience, supporting one another in charity. Eph 4:3 Careful to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. Eph 4:4 One body and one Spirit: as you are called in one hope of your calling. Eph 4:5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism. Eph 4:6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in us all. Eph 4:7 But to every one of us is given grace, according to the measure of the giving of Christ. Eph 4:8 Wherefore he saith: Ascending on high, he led captivity captive: he gave gifts to men.

Eph 4:9 Now that he ascended, what is it, but because he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth? Eph 4:10 He that descended is the same also that ascended above all the heavens: that he might fill all things. Eph 4:11 And he gave some apostles, and some prophets, and other some evangelists, and other some pastors and doctors: Eph 4:12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the word of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: Eph 4:13 Until we all meet into the unity of faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the age of the fulness of Christ: Eph 4:14 That henceforth we be no more children tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the wickedness of men, by cunning craftiness by which they lie in wait to deceive. Eph 4:15 But doing the truth in charity, we may in all things grow up in him who is the head, even Christ: Eph 4:16 From whom the whole body, being compacted and fitly joined together, by what every joint supplieth, according to the operation in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body, unto the edifying of itself in charity.

Eph 4:17 This then I say and testify in the Lord: That henceforward you walk not as also the Gentiles walk in the vanity of their mind: Eph 4:18 Having their understanding darkened: being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their hearts. Eph 4:19 Who despairing have given themselves up to lasciviousness, unto the working of all uncleanness, unto covetousness. Eph 4:20 But you have not so learned Christ: Eph 4:21 If so be that you have heard him and have been taught in him, as the truth is in Jesus: Eph 4:22 To put off, according to former conversation, the old man, who is corrupted according to the desire of error. Eph 4:23 And be renewed in spirit of your mind: Eph 4:24 And put on the new man, who according to God is created in justice and holiness of truth. Eph 4:25 Wherefore, putting away lying, speak ye the truth, every man with his neighbour. For we are members one of another. Eph 4:26 Be angry: and sin not. Let not the sun go down upon your anger. Eph 4:27 Give not place to the devil. Eph 4:28 He that stole, let him now steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have something to give to him that suffereth need.

Eph 4:29 Let no evil speech proceed from your mouth: but that which is good, to the edification of faith: that it may administer grace to the hearers. Eph 4:30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God: whereby you are sealed unto the day of redemption. Eph 4:31 Let all bitterness and anger and indignation and clamour and blasphemy be put away from you, with all malice. Eph 4:32 And be ye kind one to another: merciful, forgiving one another, even as God hath forgiven you in Christ. Eph 5:1 Be ye therefore followers of God, as most dear children: Eph 5:2 And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us and hath delivered himself for us, an oblation and a sacrifice to God for an odour of sweetness. Eph 5:3 But fornication and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not so much as be named among you, as becometh saints: Eph 5:4 Or obscenity or foolish talking or scurrility, which is to no purpose: but rather giving of thanks. Eph 5:5 For know you this and understand: That no fornicator or unclean or covetous person (which is a serving of idols) hath inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

Eph 5:6 Let no man deceive you with vain words. For because of these things cometh the anger of God upon the children of unbelief. Eph 5:7 Be ye not therefore partakers with them. Eph 5:8 For you were heretofore darkness, but now light in the Lord. Walk then as children of the light. Eph 5:9 For the fruit of the light is in all goodness and justice and truth: Eph 5:10 Proving what is well pleasing to God. Eph 5:11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness: but rather reprove them. Eph 5:12 For the things that are done by them in secret, it is a shame even to speak of. Eph 5:13 But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for all that is made manifest is light. Eph 5:14 Wherefore he saith: Rise, thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead: and Christ shall enlighten thee. Eph 5:15 See therefore, brethren, how you walk circumspectly: not as unwise, Eph 5:16 But as wise: redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Eph 5:17 Wherefore, become not unwise: but understanding what is the will of God. Eph 5:18 And be not drunk with wine, wherein is luxury: but be ye filled with the Holy Spirit, Eph 5:19 Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual canticles, singing and making melody in your hearts to the Lord: Eph 5:20 Giving thanks always for all things, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to God and the Father: Eph 5:21 Being subject one to another, in the fear of Christ. Eph 5:22 Let women be subject to their husbands, as to the Lord: Eph 5:23 Because the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ is the head of the church. He is the saviour of his body. Eph 5:24 Therefore as the church is subject to Christ: so also let the wives be to their husbands in all things. Eph 5:25 Husbands, love your wives, as Christ also loved the church and delivered himself up for it: Eph 5:26 That he might sanctify it, cleansing it by the laver of water in the word of life: Eph 5:27 That he might present it to himself, a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. Eph 5:28 So also ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. Eph 5:29 For no man ever hated his own flesh, but nourisheth and cherisheth it, as also Christ doth the church: Eph 5:30 Because we are members of him, body, of his flesh and of his bones.

Eph 5:31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother: and shall cleave to his wife. And they shall be two in one flesh. Eph 5:32 This is a great sacrament: but I speak in Christ and in the church. Eph 5:33 Nevertheless, let every one of you in particular love for his wife as himself: And let the wife fear her husband. Eph 6:1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is just. Eph 6:2 Honour thy father and thy mother, which is the first commandment with a promise: Eph 6:3 That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest be long lived upon earth. Eph 6:4 And you, fathers, provoke not your children to anger: but bring them up in the discipline and correction of the Lord. Eph 6:5 Servants, be obedient to them that are your lords according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in the simplicity of your heart, as to Christ. Eph 6:6 Not serving to the eye, as it were pleasing men: but, as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart. Eph 6:7 With a good will serving, as to the Lord, and not to men. Eph 6:8 Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man shall do, the same shall he receive from the Lord, whether he be bond or free.

Eph 6:9 And you, masters, do the same things to them, forbearing threatenings: knowing that the Lord both of them and you is in heaven. And there is no respect of persons with him. Eph 6:10 Finally, brethren, be strengthened in the Lord and in the might of his power. Eph 6:11 Put you on the armour of God, that you may be able to stand against the deceits of the devil. Eph 6:12 For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood; but against principalities and powers, against the rulers of the world of this darkness, against the spirits of wickedness in the high places. Eph 6:13 Therefore, take unto you the armour of God, that you may be able to resist in the evil day and to stand in all things perfect. Eph 6:14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth and having on the breastplate of justice: Eph 6:15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace. Eph 6:16 In all things taking the shield of faith, wherewith you may be able to extinguish all the fiery darts of the most wicked one. Eph 6:17 And take unto you the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit (which is the word of God). Eph 6:18 By all prayer and supplication praying at all times in the spirit: and in the same watching with all instance and supplication for all the saints: Eph 6:19 And for me, that speech may be given me, that I may open my mouth with confidence, to make known the mystery of the gospel, Eph 6:20 For which I am an ambassador in a chain: so that therein I may be bold to speak according as I ought. Eph 6:21 But that you also may know the things that concern me and what I am doing, Tychicus, my dearest brother and faithful minister in the Lord, will make known to you all things: Eph 6:22 Whom I have sent to you for this same purpose: that you may know the things concerning us, and that he may comfort your hearts. Eph 6:23 Peace be to the brethren and charity with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Eph 6:24 Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in incorruption. Amen.

Phil 1:1 Paul and Timothy, the servants of Jesus Christ: to all the saints in Christ Jesus who are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons. Phil 1:2 Grace be unto you and peace, from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ. Phil 1:3 I give thanks to my God in every remembrance of you: Phil 1:4 Always in all my prayers making supplication for you all with joy: Phil 1:5 For your communication in the gospel of Christ, from the first day unto now. Phil 1:6 Being confident of this very thing: that he who hath begun a good work in you will perfect it unto the day of Christ Jesus. Phil 1:7 As it is meet for me to think this for you all, for that I have you in my heart; and that, in my bands and in the defence and confirmation of the gospel, you all are partakers of my joy. Phil 1:8 For God is my witness how I long after you all in the bowels of Jesus Christ. Phil 1:9 And this I pray: That your charity may more and more abound in knowledge and in all understanding: Phil 1:10 That you may approve the better things: that you may be sincere and without offence unto the day of Christ: Phil 1:11 Filled with the fruit of justice, through Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God. Phil 1:12 Now, brethren, I desire you should know that the things which have happened to me have fallen out rather to the furtherance of the gospel: Phil 1:13 So that my bands are made manifest in Christ, in all the court and in all other places.

Phil 1:14 And many of the brethren in the Lord, growing confident by my bands, are much more bold to speak the word of God without fear. Phil 1:15 Some indeed, even out of envy and contention: but some also for good will preach Christ. Phil 1:16 Some out of charity, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel. Phil 1:17 And some out of contention preach Christ not sincerely: supposing that they raise affliction to my bands. Phil 1:18 But what then? So that by all means, whether by occasion or by truth, Christ be preached: in this also I rejoice, yea, and will rejoice. Phil 1:19 For I know that this shall fall out to me unto salvation, through your prayer and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, Phil 1:20 According to my expectation and hope; that in nothing I shall be confounded: but with all confidence, as always, so now also, shall Christ be magnified in my body, whether it be by life or by death. Phil 1:21 For to me, to live is Christ: and to die is gain. Phil 1:22 And if to live in the flesh: this is to me the fruit of labour. And what I shall choose I know not. Phil 1:23 But I am straitened between two: having a desire to be dissolved and to be with Christ, a thing by far the better.

Phil 1:24 But to abide still in the flesh is needful for you. Phil 1:25 And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide and continue with you all, for your furtherance and joy of faith: Phil 1:26 That your rejoicing may abound in Christ Jesus for me, by my coming to you again. Phil 1:27 Only let your conversation be worthy of the gospel of Christ: that, whether I come and see you, or, being absent, may hear of you, that you stand fast in one spirit, with one mind labouring together for the faith of the gospel. Phil 1:28 And in nothing be ye terrified by the adversaries: which to them is a cause of perdition, but to you of salvation, and this from God. Phil 1:29 For unto you it is given for Christ, not only to believe in him, but also to suffer for him: Phil 1:30 Having the same conflict as that which you have seen in me and now have heard of me. Phil 2:1 If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of charity, if any society of the spirit, if any bowels of commiseration: Phil 2:2 Fulfil ye my joy, that you be of one mind, having the same charity, being of one accord, agreeing in sentiment.
