Jesus

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

Wherefore also God highly exalted him, and gave unto him the name which is above every name;

that in the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven and things on earth and things under the earth,

and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

for it is God who worketh in you both to will and to work, for his good pleasure.

holding forth the word of life; that I may have whereof to glory in the day of Christ, that I did not run in vain neither labor in vain.

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

For they all seek their own, not the things of Jesus Christ.

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

Receive him therefore in the Lord with all joy; and hold such in honor:

because for the work of Christ he came nigh unto death, hazarding his life to supply that which was lacking in your service toward me.

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

for we are the circumcision, who worship by the Spirit of God, and glory in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh:

Howbeit what things were gain to me, these have I counted loss for Christ.

Yea verily, and I count all things to be loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but refuse, that I may gain Christ,

and be found in him, not having a righteousness of mine own, even that which is of the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith:

that I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, becoming conformed unto his death;

Not that I have already obtained, or am already made perfect: but I press on, if so be that I may lay hold on that for which also I was laid hold on by Christ Jesus.

I press on toward the goal unto the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

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

For our citizenship is in heaven; whence also we wait for a Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:

who shall fashion anew the body of our humiliation, that it may be conformed to the body of his glory, according to the working whereby he is able even to subject all things unto himself.

Wherefore, my brethren beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, my beloved.

I exhort Euodia, and I exhort Syntyche, to be of the same mind in the Lord.

Rejoice in the Lord always: again I will say, Rejoice.
