Jesus

Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.

But that ye may also know mine affaires, and what I doe, Tychicus my deare brother and faithfull minister in the Lord, shall shewe you of all things,

Peace be with the brethren, and loue with faith from God the Father, and from the Lord Iesus Christ.

Grace be with all them which loue our Lord Iesus Christ, to their immortalitie, Amen. Written from Rome vnto the Ephesians, and sent by Tychicus.

Paul and Timotheus the seruants of IESVS CHRIST, to all the Saintes in Christ Iesus which are at Philippi, with the Bishops, and Deacons:

Grace be with you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Iesus Christ.

And I am persuaded of this same thing, that he that hath begunne this good worke in you, wil perfourme it vntill the day of Iesus Christ,

For God is my recorde, howe I long after you all from the very heart roote in Iesus Christ.

That ye may alowe those things which are best, that ye may be pure, and without offence vntill the day of Christ,

Filled with the fruites of righteousnesse, which are by Iesus Christ vnto the glorie and praise of God.

So that my bandes in Christ are famous throughout all the iudgement hall, and in all other places,

In so much that many of the brethren in the Lord are boldened through my bandes, and dare more frankely speake the word.

Some preache. Christ euen through enuie and strife, and some also of good will.

The one part preacheth Christ of contention and not purely, supposing to adde more affliction to my bandes.

What then? yet Christ is preached all maner wayes, whether it be vnder a pretence, or syncerely: and I therein ioye: yea and will ioye.

For I knowe that this shall turne to my saluation through your prayer, and by the helpe of the Spirit of Iesus Christ,

As I feruently looke for, and hope, that in nothing I shalbe ashamed, but that with all confidence, as alwayes, so nowe Christ shalbe magnified in my body, whether it be by life or by death.

For Christ is to me both in life, and in death aduantage.

For I am distressed betweene both, desiring to be loosed and to be with Christ, which is best of all.

That ye may more aboundantly reioyce in IESVS CHRIST for me, by my comming to you againe.

Onely let your conuersation be, as it becommeth the Gospel of Christ, that whether I come and see you, or els be absent, I may heare of your matters that ye continue in one Spirit, and in one mind, fighting together through the faith of the Gospel.

For vnto you it is giuen for Christ, that not onely ye should beleeue in him, but also suffer for his sake,

If there be therfore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of loue, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any compassion and mercie,

Let the same minde be in you that was euen in Christ Iesus,

But he made himself of no reputation, and tooke on him ye forme of a seruant, and was made like vnto men, and was founde in shape as a man.
