Jesus

He humbled himselfe, and became obedient vnto the death, euen the death of the Crosse.

Wherefore God hath also highly exalted him, and giuen him a Name aboue euery name,

That at the Name of Iesus shoulde euery knee bowe, both of things in heauen, and things in earth, and things vnder the earth,

And that euery tongue shoulde confesse that Iesus Christ is the Lord, vnto the glory of God the Father.

For it is God which worketh in you, both the will and the deede, euen of his good pleasure.

Holding forth the worde of life, that I may reioyce in the day of Christ, that I haue not runne in vaine, neither haue laboured in vaine.

And I trust in the Lord Iesus, to sende Timotheus shortly vnto you, that I also may be of good comfort, when I knowe your state.

For all seeke their owne, and not that which is Iesus Christes.

And trust in the Lord, that I also my selfe shall come shortly.

Receiue him therefore in the Lord with all gladnesse, and make much of such:

Because that for the woorke of Christ he was neere vnto death, and regarded not his life, to fulfill that seruice which was lacking on your part towarde me.

Moreouer, my brethren, reioyce in the Lord. It grieueth mee not to write the same things to you, and for you it is a sure thing.

For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirite, and reioyce in Christ Iesus, and haue no confidence in the flesh:

But the thinges that were vantage vnto me, the same I counted losse for Christes sake.

Yea, doubtlesse I thinke all thinges but losse for the excellent knowledge sake of Christ Iesus my Lord, for whome I haue counted all things losse, and doe iudge them to bee dongue, that I might winne Christ,

And might bee founde in him, that is, not hauing mine owne righteousnesse, which is of the Lawe, but that which is through the faith of Christ, euen the righteousnesse which is of God through faith,

That I may know him, and the vertue of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his afflictions, and be made conformable vnto his death,

Not as though I had alreadie attained to it, either were alreadie perfect: but I follow, if that I may comprehend that for whose sake also I am comprehended of Christ Iesus.

And follow hard toward the marke, for the prise of the hie calling of God in Christ Iesus.

For many walke, of whom I haue told you often, and nowe tell you weeping, that they are the enemies of the Crosse of Christ:

But our conuersation is in heauen, from whence also we looke for the Sauiour, euen the Lord Iesus Christ,

Who shall change our vile bodie, that it may be fashioned like vnto his glorious body, according to the working, whereby hee is able euen to subdue all things vnto him selfe.

Therefore, my brethre, beloued and longed for, my ioy and my crowne, so continue in the Lord, yee beloued.

I pray Euodias, and beseech Syntyche, that they be of one accord in the Lord,

Reioyce in the Lord alway, againe I say, reioyce.
