²¹ Greeting you is Timothy, my fellow worker, and Lucius and Jason and Sosipater, my relatives."

²⁵ Now to Him Who is able to establish you in accord with my evangel, and the heralding of Christ Jesus in accord with the revelation of a secret hushed in times eonian,

⁷ so that you are not deficient in any grace, awaiting the unveiling of our Lord Jesus Christ, ⁸ Who will be confirming you also until the consummation, unimpeachable in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ."

⁹ For I suppose that God demonstrates with us, the last apostles, as death-doomed, for we became a theater to the world and to messengers and to men."

⁹ For I suppose that God demonstrates with us, the last apostles, as death-doomed, for we became a theater to the world and to messengers and to men." ¹⁰ We are stupid because of Christ, yet you are prudent in Christ. We are weak, yet you are strong. You are glorious, yet we are dishonored." ¹¹ Until the present hour we are hungering also and thirsting, and are naked and are buffeted and unsettled and toiling, working with our own hands." ¹² Being reviled, we are blessing; being persecuted, we are bearing with it;" ¹³ being calumniated, we are entreating. As the offscourings of the world we became, the scum of all things, hitherto."

¹⁷ Therefore I send to you Timothy, who is my beloved and faithful child in the Lord, who will be reminding you of my ways which are in Christ Jesus, according as I am teaching everywhere in every ecclesia."

⁵ Do not deprive one another, except sometime it should be by agreement for a period, that you should gave leisure for prayer, and you may be the same again, lest Satan may be trying you because of your incontinence."

² Now I am applauding you that you remember all of mine, and are retaining the traditions according as I give them over to you."

¹ If I should be speaking in the languages of men and of the messengers, yet should have no love, I have become resounding copper or a clanging cymbal." ² And if I should have prophecy and should be perceiving all secrets and all knowledge, and if I should have all faith, so as to transport mountains, yet have no love, I am nothing." ³ And if ever I should be morselling out all my possessions, and if I should be giving up my body, that I should be boasting, yet may have no love, in nothing do I benefit." ⁴ Love is patient, is kind. Love is not jealous. Love is not bragging, is not puffed up, ⁵ is not indecent, is not self-seeking, is not incensed, is not taking account of evil, ⁶ is not rejoicing in injustice, yet is rejoicing together with the truth, ⁷ is forgoing all, is believing all, is expecting all, is enduring all." ⁸ Love is never lapsing: yet, whether prophecies, they will be discarded, or languages, they will cease, or knowledge, it will be discarded." ⁹ For out of an instalment are we knowing, and out of an instalment are we prophesying." ¹⁰ Now whenever maturity may be coming, that which is out of an instalment shall be discarded." ¹¹ When I was a minor, I spoke as a minor, I was disposed as a minor, I took account of things as a minor. Yet when I have become a man, I have discarded that which is a minor's. " ¹² For at present we are observing by means of a mirror, in an enigma, yet then, face to face. At present I know out of an instalment, yet then I shall recognize according as I am recognized also." ¹³ Yet now are remaining faith, expectation, love - these three. Yet the greatest of these is love."

¹³ Yet now are remaining faith, expectation, love - these three. Yet the greatest of these is love."

²³ Yet each in his own class: the Firstfruit, Christ; thereupon those who are Christ's in His presence;"

⁵⁸ So that, my beloved brethren, become settled, unmovable, superabounding in the work of the Lord always, being aware that your toil is not for naught in the Lord."

¹⁰ Now if Timothy should be coming, look to it that he should be with you fearlessly, for he is working at the work of the Lord, as I also." ¹¹ No one, then, should be scorning him. Now send him forward in peace, that he may be coming to me, for I am awaiting him with the brethren." ¹² Now concerning brother Apollos, I entreat him much that he may be coming to you with the brethren, and it was undoubtedly not his will that he should come now, yet he will come whenever he should have an opportunity." ¹³ Watch! Stand firm in the faith! Be manly! Be staunch!

¹ Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus, through the will of God, and brother Timothy, to the ecclesia of God which is in Corinth, together with all the saints who are in the whole of Achaia:"

⁴ Who is consoling us in our every affliction to enable us to be consoling those in every affliction, through the consolation with which we ourselves are being consoled by God,

¹⁵ And in this confidence I intended formerly to come to you, that you should be having a second grace,

¹⁹ For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, Who is being heralded among you through us - through me and Silvanus and Timothy - became not "Yesand "No,but in Him has become "Yes."

²⁴ Not that we are lording it over your faith, but are fellow workers of your joy, for you stand fast in the faith."

¹¹ lest we may be overreached by Satan, for we are not ignorant of the things he apprehends."

¹³ I have no ease in my spirit at my not finding Titus, my brother, but taking leave of them, I came away into Macedonia." ¹⁴ Now thanks be to God, Who always gives us a triumph in Christ, and is manifesting the odor of His knowledge through us in every place,

¹⁸ and I will be a Father to you, and you shall be sons and daughters to Me, says the Lord Almighty."

⁵ I am superexceeding in joy in all our affliction. For even at our coming into Macedonia, our flesh has no ease, but we are afflicted in everything: outside fightings; inside fears." ⁶ But God, Who is consoling the humble, consoles us by the presence of Titus, ⁷ yet not only by his presence, but by the consolation also with which he was consoled over you, informing us of your longing, your anguish, your zeal for my sake; so that I rather rejoice that,

¹³ Therefore we are consoled, yet in our consolation we rather rejoiced more exceedingly in the joy of Titus, for his spirit has been soothed by you all,

¹ Now we are making known to you, brethren, the grace of God which has been bestowed in the ecclesias of Macedonia, ² for, in a test of much affliction, the superabundance of their joy and the corresponding depth of their poverty superabounds to the riches of their generosity,

²³ whether for the sake of Titus, my mate and fellow worker for you, or our brethren, the apostles of the ecclesias, the glory of Christ."

¹⁰ Now may He Who is supplying seed to the sower, and bread for food, be furnishing and multiplying your seed and be making the product of your righteousness grow,

¹⁵ Now thanks be to God for His indescribable gratuity!

² for I am jealous over you with a jealousy of God. For I betroth you to one Man, to present a chaste virgin to Christ. " ³ Yet I fear lest somehow, as the serpent deludes Eve by its craftiness, your apprehensions should be corrupted from the singleness and pureness which is in Christ. "

¹³ For such are false apostles, fraudulent workers, being transfigured into apostles of Christ. " ¹⁴ And no marvel, for Satan himself is being transfigured into a messenger of light. " ¹⁵ It is no great thing, then, if his servants also are being transfigured as dispensers of righteousness - whose consummation shall be according to their acts. "

²³ Servants of Christ are they? (Being insane, I am speaking.) Above them am I! In weariness more exceedingly, in jails more exceedingly, in blows inordinatley, in deaths often. " ²⁴ By Jews five times I got forty save one. ²⁵ Thrice am I flogged with rods, once am I stoned, thrice am I shipwrecked, a night and a day have I spent in a swamp, " ²⁶ in journeys often, in dangers of rivers, in dangers of robbers, in dangers of my race, in dangers of the nations, in dangers in the city, in dangers in the wilderness, in dangers in the sea, in dangers among false brethren; " ²⁷ in toil and labor, in vigils often, in famine and thirst, in fasts often, in cold and nakedness; " ²⁸ apart from what is outside, that which is coming upon me daily, the solicitude for all the ecclesias. " ²⁹ Who is weak and I am not weak? Who is snared and I am not on fire? ³⁰ If I must boast, I will be boasting in that which is of my weakness. "

⁹ For we are rejoicing whenever we may be weak, yet you may be powerful. Now this are we wishing also: your adjustment. "

¹¹ Furthermore, brethren, rejoice, adjust, be entreated, be mutually disposed, be at peace, and the God of love and of peace will be with you. "

⁴ Who gives Himself for our sins, so that He might extricate us out of the present wicked eon, according to the will of our God and Father,

⁶ I am marveling that thus, swiftly, you are transferred from that which calls you in the grace of Christ, to a different evangel, ⁷ which is not another, except it be that some who are disturbing you want also to distort the evangel of Christ." ⁸ But if ever we also, or a messenger out of heaven, should be bringing an evangel to you beside that which we bring to you, let him be anathema!" ⁹ As we have declared before and at present I am saying again, if anyone is bringing you an evangel beside that which you accepted, let him be anathema!"

² Now I went up in accord with a revelation, and submitted to them the evangel which I am heralding among the nations, yet privately to those of repute, lest somehow I should be racing or ran for naught."

¹¹ I fear for you, lest somehow I have toiled for you feignedly."

¹ For freedom Christ frees us! Stand firm, then, and be not again enthralled with the yoke of slavery."

⁶ For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision is availing anything, nor uncircumcision, but faith, operating through love."

¹³ For you were called for freedom, brethren, only use not the freedom for an incentive to the flesh, but through love be slaving for one another." ¹⁴ For the entire law is fulfilled in one word, in this: "You shall love your associate as yourself."

²² Now the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

¹³ Wherefore I am requesting you not to be despondent at those of my afflictions for your sake which are your glory.

¹⁷ Christ to dwell in your hearts through faith, that you, having been rooted and grounded in love,

¹⁴ that we may by no means still be minors, surging hither and thither and being carried about by every wind of teaching, by human caprice, by craftiness with a view to the systematizing of the deception." ¹⁵ Now, being true, in love we should be making all grow into Him, Who is the Head - Christ" ¹⁶ out of Whom the entire body, being articulated together and united through every assimilation of the supply, in accord with the operation in measure of each one's part, is making for the growth of the body, for the upbuilding of itself in love."

²⁷ that He should be presenting to Himself a glorious ecclesia, not having spot or wrinkle or any such things, but that it may be holy and flawless."

¹³ Therefore take up the panoply of God that you may be enabled to withstand in the wicked day, and having effected all, to stand." ¹⁴ Stand, then, girded about your loins with truth, with the cuirass of righteousness put on."

²¹ Now that you also may be acquainted with my affairs, and what is engaging me, all will be made known to you by Tychicus, the beloved brother and faithful servant in the Lord, ²² whom I send to you for this same thing, that you may know our concerns, and he should be consoling your hearts."

⁸ for God is my Witness how I am longing for you all in the compassions of Christ Jesus. ⁹ And this I am praying, that your love may be superabounding still more and more in realization and all sensibility, ¹⁰ for you to be testing what things are of consequence, that you may be sincere and no stumbling block for the day of Christ,

²¹ For to me to be living is Christ, and to be dying, gain."

²⁵ And, having this confidence, I am aware that I shall be remaining and shall be abiding with you all for your progress and joy of faith,

²⁷ Only be citizens walking worthily of the evangel of Christ, that, whether coming and making your acquaintance, or being absent, I should be hearing of your concerns, that you are standing firm in one spirit, one soul, competing together in the faith of the evangel, " ²⁸ and not being startled by those who are opposing in anything, which is to them a proof of destruction, yet of your salvation, and this from God,

¹⁶ having on the word of life, for my glorying in the day of Christ, that I did not run for naught, neither that I toil for naught."

¹⁹ Now I am expecting, in the Lord Jesus, to send Timothy to you quickly, that I also may be of good cheer when I know of your concerns." ²⁰ For I have no one equally sensitive, who will be so genuinely solicitous of your concerns, ²¹ for all are seeking that which is their own, not that which is Christ Jesus'." ²² Now you know his testedness, that, as a child with a father, he slaves with me for the evangel." ²³ This one, indeed, then, I am expecting to send - as ever I may be perceiving my course from the things about me - forthwith." ²⁴ Yet I have confidence in the Lord that I myself shall also be coming quickly. ²⁵ Now I deem it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother and fellow worker and fellow soldier, yet your apostle and minister for my need,

¹ So that, my brethren, beloved and longed for, my joy and wreath, be standing firm thus in the Lord, my beloved."

¹ Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus, through the will of God, and brother Timothy, ² to the saints and believing brethren in Christ in Colosse: Grace to you and peace from God, our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ."

⁴ on hearing of your faith in Christ Jesus and the love which you have for all the saints,

⁷ according as you learned it from Epaphras, our beloved fellow slave, who is a faithful dispenser of Christ for us,

²² by His body of flesh, through His death, to present you holy and flawless and unimpeachable in His sight, ²³ since surely you are persisting in the faith, grounded and settled and are not being removed from the expectation of the evangel which you hear which is being heralded in the entire creation which is under heaven of which I, Paul, became the dispenser."

²⁸ Whom we are announcing, admonishing every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we should be presenting every man mature in Chist Jesus;"

⁹ together with Onesimus, a faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They shall make known to you all things here."

¹² Greeting you is Epaphras, who is one of you, a slave of Christ Jesus, always struggling for you in prayers, that you may stand mature and fully assured in all the will of God."

¹⁸ The salutation is by my hand - Paul's. Remember my bonds! Grace be with you! Amen!

² We are thanking God always concerning you all, making mention of you in our prayers, " ³ unintermittingly remembering your work of faith and toil of love and endurance of expectation of our Lord Jesus Christ, in front of our God and Father,

³ unintermittingly remembering your work of faith and toil of love and endurance of expectation of our Lord Jesus Christ, in front of our God and Father,

¹ For you yourselves are aware, brethren, that our entrance to you has not come to be for naught, ² but, though suffering before and being outraged in Philippi, according as you are aware, we are bold in our God to speak the evangel of God to you with a vast struggle."

⁸ Thus being ardently attached to you, we are delighting to share with you not only the evangel of God, but our own souls also, because you came to be beloved by us." ⁹ For you remember, brethren, our toil and labor: working night and day so as not to be burdensome to any of you, we herald to you the evangel of God."

¹⁴ For you became imitators, brethren, of the ecclesias of God which are in Judea in Christ Jesus. For you suffered the same, even you by your own fellowtribesmen, according as they also by the Jews,

¹⁷ Now we, brethren, being bereaved of you for the period of an hour, in face, not in heart, endeavor the more exceedingly to see your face, with much yearning,

¹⁷ Now we, brethren, being bereaved of you for the period of an hour, in face, not in heart, endeavor the more exceedingly to see your face, with much yearning, ¹⁸ because we want to come to you, indeed, I, Paul, once - even twice - and Satan hinders us." ¹⁹ For who is our expectation, or joy, or wreath of glorying? Or is it not even you, in front of our Lord Jesus, in His presence?

¹ Wherefore, when we could by no means longer refrain, it seems well for us to be left in Athens alone, ² and we send Timothy, our brother and God's servant in the evangel of Christ, to establish and to console you for the sake of your faith."

⁵ Therefore, when I also could by no means longer refrain, I send to know of your faith, lest somehow the trier tries you and our toil may be coming to be for naught." ⁶ Yet at present, because of Timothy's coming to us from you, and bringing us the evangel of your faith and your love, and that you have a good remembrance of us always, longing to see us even as we also you -" ⁷ therefore we were consoled, brethren, over you in all our necessity and affliction, through your faith, ⁸ for now we are living if ever you are standing firm in the Lord.

⁸ for now we are living if ever you are standing firm in the Lord. ⁹ For what thanksgiving are we able to repay to God concerning you for all the joy with which we are rejoicing because of you in front of our God,

⁹ For what thanksgiving are we able to repay to God concerning you for all the joy with which we are rejoicing because of you in front of our God, ¹⁰ night and day superexcessively beseeching to see your face and to adjust the deficiencies of your faith? ¹¹ Now may our God and Father Himself, and our Lord Jesus, be directing our way to you! "

¹³ to establish your hearts unblamable in holiness in front of our God and Father, in the presence of our Lord Jesus with all His saints."

¹ For the rest, then, brethren, we are asking you and entreating in the Lord Jesus, that, according as you accepted from us how you must be walking and pleasing God (according as you are walking also), that you may be superabounding yet more,

⁹ Now, concerning brotherly fondness, we have no need to be writing to you, for you yourselves are taught by God to be loving one another, ¹⁰ for you are doing it also to all the brethren who are in the whole of Macedonia. Now we are entreating you, brethren, to be superabounding yet more,

¹⁵ For this we are saying to you by the word of the Lord, that we, the living, who are surviving to the presence of the Lord, should by no means outstrip those who are put to repose,

⁹ for God did not appoint us to indignation, but to the procuring of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,

¹⁵ See that no one may be rendering evil for evil to anyone, but always pursue that which is good for one another as well as for all."

²³ Now may the God of peace Himself be hallowing you wholly; and may your unimpaired spirit and soul and body be kept blameless in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ!

³ We ought to be thanking God always concerning you, brethren, according as it is meet; seeing that your faith is flourishing and the love of each one of you all for one another is increasing, ⁴ so that we ourselves glory in you in the ecclesias of God, for your endurance and faith in all your persecutions and the afflictions with which you are bearing -"

⁴ so that we ourselves glory in you in the ecclesias of God, for your endurance and faith in all your persecutions and the afflictions with which you are bearing -" ⁵ a display of the just judging of God, to deem you worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you are suffering also, ⁶ if so be that it is just of God to repay affliction to those afflicting you,

¹⁰ whenever He may be coming to be glorified in His saints and to be marveled at in all who believe (seeing that our testimony to you was believed) in that day. ¹¹ For which we are always praying also concerning you, that our God should be counting you worthy of the calling, and should be fulfilling every delight of goodness and work of faith in power,

¹ Now we are asking you, brethren, for the sake of the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ and our assembling to Him,

¹⁶ Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and God, our Father, Who loves us, and is giving us an eonian consolation and a good expectation in grace,

¹⁶ Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and God, our Father, Who loves us, and is giving us an eonian consolation and a good expectation in grace, ¹⁷ be consoling your hearts and establish you in every good work and word.

⁵ Now may the Lord be directing your hearts into the love of God and into the endurance of Christ!

⁵ Now the consummation of the charge is love out of a clean heart and a good conscience and unfeigned faith,

³ Grateful am I to God, to Whom I am offering divine service from my ancestors with a clear conscience, as I have an unintermittent remembrance concerning you in my petitions, night and day,

⁸ You may not be ashamed, then, of the testimony of our Lord, nor yet of me, His prisoner, but suffer evil with the evangel in accord with the power of God,

¹⁰ Now you fully follow me in my teaching, motive, purpose, faith, patience, love, endurance, ¹¹ persecutions, sufferings, such as occurred to me in Antioch, in Iconium, in Lystra: persecutions such as I undergo, and out of them all the Lord rescues me." ¹² And all who are wanting to live devoutly in Christ Jesus shall be persecuted.

⁵ hearing of your love and the faith which you have toward the Lord Jesus and for all the saints,

²² Now, at the same time, make ready also a lodging for me, for I am expecting that, through your prayers, I shall be graciously granted to you."

¹⁴ For we have become partners of Christ, that is, if we should be retaining the beginning of the assumption confirmed unto the consummation,

¹⁴ Having, then, a great Chief Priest, Who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, we may be holding to the avowal."

²³ We may be retaining the avowal of the expectation without wavering, for faithful is He Who promises."

³ Be mindful of those bound, as bound together with them; of those maltreated, as being yourselves also in the body."

⁷ Be remembering those of your leaders who speak to you the word of God, contemplating the sequel of their behavior, whose faith be imitating."

¹³ Let no one, undergoing trial, be saying that "From God am I undergoing trial,for God is not tried by evils, yet He is trying no one." ¹⁴ Now each one is undergoing trial when he is drawn away and lured by his own desire.

¹⁷ All good giving and every perfect gratuity is from above, descending from the Father of lights, in Whom there is no mutation or shadow from revolving motion."

²¹ For this were you called, seeing that Christ also suffered for your sakes, leaving you a copy, that you should be following up in the footprints of Him"

¹² Beloved, do not think strange the conflagration among you, which is becoming a trial to you, as of something strange befalling you, ¹³ but, according as you are participating in the sufferings of Christ, rejoice, that you may be rejoicing, exulting in the unveiling of His glory also." ¹⁴ If you are being reproached in the name of Christ, happy are you, for the spirit of glory and power, and that of God, has come to rest on you."

¹⁰ Now the God of all grace, Who calls you into His eonian glory in Christ, while briefly suffering, He will be adjusting, establishing, firming, founding you."

⁷ yet in devoutness brotherly fondness, yet in brotherly fondness love."

¹⁷ You, then, beloved, knowing this before, be on your guard lest, being led away with the deception of the dissolute, you should be falling from your own steadfastness." ¹⁸ Yet be growing in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To Him be glory now, as well as for the day of the eon. Amen!"

¹ Perceive what manner of love the Father has given us, that we may be called children of God! And we are! Therefore the world does not know us, for it did not know Him."

¹¹ For this is the message which you hear from the beginning, ¹² that we may be loving one another, not according as Cain was of the wicked one and slays his brother. And on behalf of what does he slay him? Seeing that his acts were wicked, yet those of his brother, just." ¹³ Marvel not, brethren, if the world is hating you." ¹⁴ We are aware that we have proceeded out of death into life, for we are loving our brethren. He who is not loving is remaining in death." ¹⁵ Everyone who is hating his brother is a man-killer, and you are aware that no man-killer at all has life eonian remaining in him." ¹⁶ By this we know love, seeing that He, for our sakes, lays down His soul. We also ought to lay down our souls for the sake of the brethren." ¹⁷ Now whoever may be having a livelihood in this world, and may be beholding his brother having need, and should be locking his compassions from him - how is the love of God remaining in him? ¹⁸ Little children, we should not be loving in word, neither in tongue, but in act and truth." ¹⁹ And in this shall we be knowing that we are of the truth and shall be persuading our hearts in front of Him, ²⁰ seeing that, if our heart should be censuring us, God is greater than our heart, and He knows all." ²¹ Beloved, if our heart should not be censuring us, we have boldness toward God,

²³ And this is His precept, that we should be believing in the name of His Son, Jesus Christ, and may be loving one another according as He gives us a precept."

⁷ Beloved, we should be loving one another, for love is of God, and everyone who is loving God is begotten of God, and knows God." ⁸ He who is not loving knew not God, for God is love." ⁹ In this was manifested the love of God among us, that God has dispatched His only-begotten Son into the world that we should be living through Him." ¹⁰ In this is love, not that we love God, but that He loves us, and dispatches His son, a propitiatory shelter concerned with our sins." ¹¹ Beloved, if thus God loves us, we also ought to be loving one another." ¹² No one has ever gazed upon God. If we should be loving one anohter, God is remaining in us, and His love is perfected in us." ¹³ In this we know that we are remaining in Him, and He in us, for He has given us of His spirit." ¹⁴ And we have gazed upon Him, and are testifying that the Father has dispatched the Son, the Saviour of the world." ¹⁵ Whoever should be avowing that Jesus is the Son of God, God is remaining in him, and he in God." ¹⁶ And we know and believe the love which God has in us. God is love, and he who is remaining in love is remaining in God, and God is remaining in him."

⁴ I rejoiced very much that I have found your children walking in truth, according as we obtained a precept from the Father."

¹⁴ Now Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesies to these also, saying, "Lo! the Lord came among ten thousand of His saints,

²⁴ Now to Him Who is able to guard you from tripping, and to stand you flawless in sight of His glory, in exultation,

¹⁰ Fear nothing that you are about to be suffering. Lo! the Adversary is about to be casting some of you into jail that you may be tried, and you will be having affliction ten days. Become faithful until death, and I shall be giving you the wreath of life."

¹³ '"I am aware where you are dwelling-where the throne of Satan is-and you are holding My name, and do not disown My faith in the days in which Antipas, My faithful witness, was killed among you, where Satan is dwelling."

³ Remember, then, how you have obtained, and hear; keep it and repent. If ever, then, you should not be watching, I shall be arriving on you as a thief, and under no circumstances will you be knowing what hour I shall be arriving on you."

¹¹ I am coming swiftly! Hold what you have, that no one may be taking your wreath."

⁸ And the four animals, each one of them having six wings apiece, around and inside are replete with eyes. And they have no rest day and night, saying, "Holy! holy! holy! Lord God Almighty, Who wast and Who art and Who art coming!"

¹⁵ Therefore they are before the throne of God and are offering divine service to Him day and night in His temple. And He Who is sitting on the throne will be tabernacling over them.
