Jesus

He humbled himself, becoming obedient unto death, even to the death of the cross.

For which cause, God also hath exalted him and hath given him a name which is above all names:

That in the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those that are in heaven, on earth, and under the earth:

And that every tongue should confess that the Lord Jesus Christ is in the glory of God the Father.

For it is God who worketh in you, both to will and to accomplish, according to his good will.

Holding forth the word of life to my glory in the day of Christ: because I have not run in vain, nor laboured in vain.

And I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy unto you shortly, that I also may be of good comfort, when I know the things concerning you.

For all seek the things that are their own not the things that are Jesus Christ's.

And I trust in the Lord that I myself also shall come to you shortly.

Receive him therefore with all joy in the Lord: and treat with honour such as he is.

Because for the work of Christ he came to the point of death: delivering his life, that he might fulfil that which on your part was wanting towards my service.

As to the rest, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not wearisome, but to you is necessary.

For we are the circumcision, who in spirit serve God and glory in Christ Jesus, not having confidence in the flesh.

But the things that were gain to me, the same I have counted loss for Christ.

Furthermore, I count all things to be but loss for the excellent knowledge of Jesus Christ, my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things and count them but as dung, that I may gain Christ.

And may be found in him, not having my justice, which is of the law, but that which is of the faith of Christ Jesus, which is of God: justice in faith.

That I may know him and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of his sufferings: being made conformable to his death,

Not as though I had already attained, or were already perfect: but I follow after, if I may by any means apprehend, wherein I am also apprehended by Christ Jesus.

I press towards the mark, to the prize of the supernal vocation of God in Christ Jesus.

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

But our conversation is in heaven: from whence also we look for the Saviour, our Lord Jesus Christ,

Who will reform the body of our lowness, made like to the body of his glory, according to the operation whereby also he is able to subdue all things unto himself.

Therefore my dearly beloved brethren and most desired, my joy and my crown: so stand fast in the Lord, my dearly beloved.

I beg of Evodia and I beseech Syntyche to be of one mind in the Lord.

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