Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;

The one preach Christ of contention, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds:

But the other of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel.

For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better:

Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee;

And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:

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

All the saints salute you, chiefly they that are of Caesar's household.

Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:

And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.

Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.

Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;

And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God.

But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.

And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;

With Onesimus, a faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They shall make known unto you all things which are done here.

And Jesus, which is called Justus, who are of the circumcision. These only are my fellowworkers unto the kingdom of God, which have been a comfort unto me.

Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ, saluteth you, always labouring fervently for you in prayers, that ye may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God.

And when this epistle is read among you, cause that it be read also in the church of the Laodiceans; and that ye likewise read the epistle from Laodicea.

And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.

For our exhortation was not of deceit, nor of uncleanness, nor in guile:

Nor of men sought we glory, neither of you, nor yet of others, when we might have been burdensome, as the apostles of Christ.

Night and day praying exceedingly that we might see your face, and might perfect that which is lacking in your faith?

And to esteem them very highly in love for their work's sake. And be at peace among yourselves.
