God

Shalom to the brothers. May God the Father and the Lord Yeshua the Messiah give you love and trust.

Grace to you and shalom from God our Father and the Lord Yeshua the Messiah.

I thank my God every time I think of you.

God can testify how I long for all of you with the deep affection of the Messiah Yeshua.

filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Yeshua the Messiah — to the glory and praise of God.

not frightened by anything the opposition does. This will be for them an indication that they are headed for destruction and you for deliverance. And this is from God;

Though he was in the form of God, he did not regard equality with God something to be possessed by force.

Therefore God raised him to the highest place and gave him the name above every name;

and every tongue will acknowledge that Yeshua the Messiah is Adonai — to the glory of God the Father.

for God is the one working among you both the willing and the working for what pleases him.

so that you may be blameless and pure children of God, without defect in the midst of a twisted and perverted generation, among whom you shine like stars in the sky,

people all put their own interests ahead of the Messiah Yeshua’s.

Indeed he was ill, close to death; but God had mercy on him — and not only on him, but also on me — otherwise I would have had sorrow piled on sorrow.

For it is we who are the Circumcised, we who worship by the Spirit of God and make our boast in the Messiah Yeshua! We do not put confidence in human qualifications,

and be found in union with him, not having any righteousness of my own based on legalism, but having that righteousness which comes through the Messiah’s faithfulness, the righteousness from God based on trust.

I keep pursuing the goal in order to win the prize offered by God’s upward calling in the Messiah Yeshua.

Therefore, as many of us as are mature, let us keep paying attention to this; and if you are differently minded about anything, God will also reveal this to you.

They are headed for destruction! Their god is the belly; they are proud of what they ought to be ashamed of, since they are concerned about the things of the world.

Don’t worry about anything; on the contrary, make your requests known to God by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving.

Then God’s shalom, passing all understanding, will keep your hearts and minds safe in union with the Messiah Yeshua.

Keep doing what you have learned and received from me, what you have heard and seen me doing; then the God who gives shalom will be with you.

I have been more than paid in full: I have been filled, since I have received from Epaphroditus the gifts you sent — they are a fragrant aroma, an acceptable sacrifice, one that pleases God well.

Moreover, my God will fill every need of yours according to his glorious wealth, in union with the Messiah Yeshua.

And to God our Father be the glory forever and ever. Amen.
