Jesus

and in fashion having been found as a man, he humbled himself, having become obedient unto death--death even of a cross,

wherefore, also, God did highly exalt him, and gave to him a name that is above every name,

that in the name of Jesus every knee may bow--of heavenlies, and earthlies, and what are under the earth--

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

for God it is who is working in you both to will and to work for His good pleasure.

the word of life holding forth, for rejoicing to me in regard to a day of Christ, that not in vain did I run, nor in vain did I labour;

And I hope, in the Lord Jesus, Timotheus to send quickly to you, that I also may be of good spirit, having known the things concerning you,

for the whole seek their own things, not the things of the Christ Jesus,

and I trust in the Lord that I myself also shall quickly come.

receive him, therefore, in the Lord, with all joy, and hold such in honour,

because on account of the work of the Christ he drew near to death, having hazarded the life that he might fill up your deficiency of service unto me.

As to the rest, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord; the same things to write to you to me indeed is not tiresome, and for you is sure;

for we are the circumcision, who by the Spirit are serving God, and glorying in Christ Jesus, and in flesh having no trust,

But what things were to me gains, these I have counted, because of the Christ, loss;

yes, indeed, and I count all things to be loss, because of the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, because of whom of the all things I suffered loss, and do count them to be refuse, that Christ I may gain, and be found in him,

not having my righteousness, which is of law, but that which is through faith of Christ--the righteousness that is of God by the faith,

to know him, and the power of his rising again, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being conformed to his death,

Not that I did already obtain, or have been already perfected; but I pursue, if also I may lay hold of that for which also I was laid hold of by the Christ Jesus;

to the mark I pursue for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

for many walk of whom many times I told you--and now also weeping tell--the enemies of the cross of the Christ!

For our citizenship is in the heavens, whence also a Saviour we await--the Lord Jesus Christ--

who shall transform the body of our humiliation to its becoming conformed to the body of his glory, according to the working of his power, even to subject to himself the all things.

So then, my brethren, beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand ye in the Lord, beloved.

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

Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice;
