¹ Now regarding this ministry to the saints, it is superfluous for me to write to you: ² For I know your eagerness, of which I boast to the Macedonians, saying that you in Achaia were ready a year ago; and your zeal has stirred up most of them. ³ But I have sent the brethren, lest our boasting about you in this matter should be in vain; that, as I said, you may be ready: ⁴ Lest if any from Macedonia come with me, and find you unprepared, we (to say nothing of you) should be put to shame by this confidence. ⁵ Therefore, I thought it necessary to urge these brethren, that they would go on ahead to you, and arrange beforehand your generous gift, which you promised, that it might be ready, as a willing gift, and not as one grudgingly given. ⁶ Now this I say, He who sows sparingly shall also reap sparingly; and he who sows bountifully shall also reap bountifully. ⁷ Every man must do as he has decided in his heart; not grudgingly, or under compulsion: for God loves a cheerful giver. ⁸ And God is able to make all grace abound to you; that you, always having enough in all things, may abound in every good work. ⁹ As it is written, He has scattered abroad; he has given to the poor: his righteousness endures forever. ¹⁰ Now he who provides seed to the sower and bread for food, will supply and multiply your seed for sowing, and increase the fruits of your righteousness; ¹¹ You will be enriched in everything, so you can be generous, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God. ¹² For the performance of this service not only supplies the wants of the saints, but also overflows in many thanksgivings to God. ¹³ Because of the proof given by this service, they will glorify God because of your obedience to the gospel of Christ, which you profess, and for your liberal contribution to them, and to all; ¹⁴ And in their prayers, their hearts will go out to you because of the surpassing grace of God in you. ¹⁵ Thanks be to God for his inexpressible gift.

¹⁰ And here I give my advice about what is best for you: a year ago you were the first not only to give, but to desire to do so. ¹¹ Therefore, complete the doing of it; that as there was a readiness in desiring it, so there may also be a completion of it, according to your means. ¹² For if there is first a willing mind, it is acceptable, according to what a man has, and not according to that he does not have.

⁵ We cast down arguments, and every lofty thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and bring every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ;

⁵ For we through the Spirit, by faith, wait for the hope of righteousness. ⁶ For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything; but faith which works through love.

¹⁶ This I say, Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the desires of the flesh.

⁷ Do not be deceived; God is not mocked: for whatever a man sows, that shall he also reap. ⁸ For he who sows to his flesh shall from the flesh reap corruption; but he who sows to the Spirit shall from the Spirit reap eternal life. ⁹ And let us not be weary in well-doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we do not loose heart. ¹⁰ Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all men, especially to those who are of the household of faith.

⁹ (For the fruit of the Spirit consists in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)

²⁰ Always giving thanks for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;

⁸ For God is my witness, how greatly I long for you all with the affection of Jesus Christ.

¹¹ Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are from Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

²⁵ Yet I thought it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, and companion in labour, and fellow soldier, and your messenger and minister to my needs. ²⁶ For he longed after you all, and was full of distress, because you had heard that he had been sick.

⁵ Circumcised the eighth day, of the people of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; regarding the law, a Pharisee; ⁶ Concerning zeal, a persecutor of the church; regarding the righteousness which is of the law, blameless.

¹ Therefore, my brethren, whom I dearly love and long for, my joy and crown, in this way stand fast in the Lord, my beloved.

¹⁷ Not because I desire a gift: but I desire the fruit that increases to your credit. ¹⁸ But I have received all, and abound: I am full, having received from Epaphroditus the things which were sent from you, a fragrant offering, a sacrifice acceptable and well-pleasing to God. ¹⁹ And my God shall supply all your needs according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

¹⁰ That you might walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, to please him in all things, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;

⁴ And this I say, lest any man should deceive you with enticing words.

⁷ So that you became an example to all who believe in Macedonia and Achaia.

¹² And may the Lord make you to increase and abound in love toward one another, and toward all men, even as we do toward you:

⁹ But regarding brotherly love you do not need any one to write to you: for you yourselves have been taught by God to love one another. ¹⁰ And indeed you do love all the brethren who are in all Macedonia: but we urge you, brethren, that you do so more and more;

¹⁰ And indeed you do love all the brethren who are in all Macedonia: but we urge you, brethren, that you do so more and more;

¹ But of the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I write to you.

¹⁷ Comfort your hearts, and establish you in every good work and word.

¹⁴ And the grace of our Lord overflowed for me, along with the faith and love which are in Christ Jesus.

¹² Fight the good fight of faith; lay hold on eternal life, to which you are called, to which you made the good confession before many witnesses.

¹⁷ Command those who are rich in this world not to be arrogant, nor to trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who richly gives us all things to enjoy. ¹⁸ They are to do good, that they may be rich in good works, generous and willing to share;

¹⁶ May the Lord give mercy to the house of Onesiphorus; for he often refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chains: ¹⁷ But when he was in Rome, he sought me out very diligently, and found me. ¹⁸ May the Lord grant that he will find mercy from the Lord on that day. You know very well in how many ways he ministered to me at Ephesus.

¹⁷ That the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for all good works.

¹⁴ Who gave himself up for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify for himself a people of his own, zealous for good works.

¹ Remind them to be subject to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready to do every good work,

⁸ This is a faithful saying; and I want you to affirm these things constantly, that those who have believed in God might be careful to engage in good works. These things are good and profitable for men.

¹⁴ And let our people learn to engage in honest employment, so they may meet urgent needs, and that they may not be unfruitful.

⁴ I thank my God always, making mention of you in my prayers, ⁵ Because I hear of your love and faith, which you have toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all the saints; ⁶ And I pray that the sharing of your faith may promote the knowledge of every good thing which is ours in Christ Jesus. ⁷ For we have great joy and comfort in your love, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed by you, brother.

¹ Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider Jesus, the Apostle and High Priest of our profession;

¹⁴ Seeing then that we have a great high priest, who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.

⁹ And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation for all those who obey him;

¹⁰ For God is not unrighteous, so as to forget the work and love which you have shown for his name's sake in having ministered to the saints, as you continue to do.

²³ Let us hold fast the profession of our hope, without wavering; (for he who promised is faithful;) ²⁴ And let us consider how to arouse one another to love and to good works:

¹⁶ Do not forget to do good and to share: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.

¹⁷ Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow.

¹⁴ What does it profit, my brethren, if a man say he has faith, but has not works? can that faith save him? ¹⁵ If a brother or sister is without clothing, and destitute of daily food, ¹⁶ And one of you says to him, Depart in peace, be warmed and filled; yet you do not give him the things which are necessary for the body; of what benefit is that?

⁹ Do not grumble against one another, brethren, lest you be condemned: behold, the judge stands before the door.

⁹ But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God; that you should declare the praises of him who has called you out of darkness into his marvellous light.

⁹ Be hospitable to one another without grumbling. ¹⁰ As every man has received a gift, so he should use it to serve one another, as befits good stewards of the manifold grace of God. ¹¹ If any man speak, let it be as one who speaks the oracles of God; if any man serves, let him do it as by the strength which God supplies: that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

²⁷ But the anointing which you have received from him abides in you, and you do not need any man to teach you: but his anointing teaches you all things, and is true, and is no lie, and just as it has taught you, abide in him.

¹⁷ But whoever has this world's goods, and sees his brother in need, and shuts his heart against him, how does the love of God abide in him?

⁹ In this was the love of God revealed among us, that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. ¹⁰ In this is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the atoning sacrifice for our sins.

¹¹ And this is the testimony, that God has given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. ¹² He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.

⁹ And when those living creatures give glory and honour and thanks to him who sits on the throne, who lives forever and ever,
