2Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.

stylus

Romans 1:7, Romans 1:7, 2 Corinthians 1:2, 2 Corinthians 1:2, 1 Peter 1:2

3I thank my God in all my remembrance of you,

stylus

1 Corinthians 1:4, 1 Corinthians 1:4, 1 Thessalonians 1:2, 1 Thessalonians 1:3, 1 Thessalonians 1:2

4always in every prayer of mine for you all making my prayer with joy

stylus

1 Thessalonians 1:2, 1 Thessalonians 1:2, Romans 1:9, 2 John 1:4, Romans 1:9

5on account of your fellowship in the cause of the gospel from the first day until now;

stylus

Philippians 4:14, Philippians 4:15, Philippians 4:14, Philippians 4:15, Philippians 1:7

6being confident of this very thing, that he who began in you a good work, will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus;

stylus

1 Thessalonians 5:23, 1 Thessalonians 5:24, 1 Thessalonians 5:23, 1 Thessalonians 5:24, Philippians 2:13

7even as it is right for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart both in my bonds, and in the defence and confirmation of the gospel, all of you being sharers of the grace bestowed on me.

stylus

2 Corinthians 7:3, 2 Corinthians 7:3, Philippians 1:5, Philippians 1:5, 2 Timothy 2:9

8For God is my witness how much I long for you all in the tender affection of Christ Jesus.

stylus

Philippians 4:1, Philippians 4:1, Romans 1:9, Romans 1:9, 2 Timothy 1:4

9And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all discernment;

stylus

1 Thessalonians 3:12, 1 Thessalonians 3:12, Colossians 1:9, Colossians 1:9, 2 Peter 1:5

10so that ye may approve the things that are most excellent, in order that ye may be pure and without offence against the day of Christ,

stylus

Romans 12:2, Romans 12:2, 1 Thessalonians 3:13, 1 Thessalonians 3:13, 1 Thessalonians 5:23

11being filled with the fruit of righteousness which is through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

stylus

Hebrews 12:11, Hebrews 12:11, John 15:8, John 15:8, John 15:4

12But I wish you to know, brethren, that things with me have resulted in the furtherance of the gospel;

stylus

2 Timothy 2:9, 2 Timothy 2:9, Romans 8:28, Romans 8:28, Acts 11:19

13so that my bonds have become known in connection with Christ in the whole camp of the imperial guards, and to all the rest;

stylus

2 Timothy 2:9, 2 Timothy 2:9, Ephesians 3:1, Ephesians 3:1, Philippians 1:7

14and that the great part of the brethren, made confident in the Lord by my bonds, are much more bold to speak the word without fear.

stylus

Ephesians 6:19, Ephesians 6:20, Ephesians 6:19, Ephesians 6:20, 1 Thessalonians 2:2

15Some indeed preach Christ even from envy and strife, and some also from good will.

stylus

Romans 16:17, Romans 16:18, Romans 16:17, Romans 16:18, Philippians 2:3

16They who are of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel;

stylus

2 Corinthians 4:1, 2 Corinthians 4:2, 2 Corinthians 2:17, 2 Corinthians 4:1, 2 Corinthians 4:2

17but they who are of a factious spirit preach Christ with no pure intent, thinking to stir up affliction to my bonds.

stylus

2 Timothy 1:11, 2 Timothy 1:12, 2 Timothy 1:11, 2 Timothy 1:12, Philippians 2:3

18What then? Notwithstanding, in every way, whether in pretence or in truth, Christ is preached; and therein do I rejoice, yea, and shall rejoice.

stylus

Luke 9:50, Luke 9:50, Mark 9:38, Mark 9:40, Mark 9:38

19For I know that this will turn out to my salvation through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,

stylus

Romans 8:28, Romans 8:28, Acts 16:7, Acts 16:7, 2 Corinthians 1:11

20according to my earnest expectation and hope, that in nothing I shall be put to shame, but that with all boldness, as always, so also now, Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life, or by death.

stylus

1 Peter 4:16, 1 Peter 4:16, 1 Corinthians 6:20, 1 Corinthians 6:20, Isaiah 54:4

21For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

stylus

Galatians 2:20, Galatians 2:20, 2 Corinthians 5:8, 2 Corinthians 5:8, 2 Corinthians 5:1

22But if to live in the flesh, if this is to me the fruit of my labor, then what I should choose, I cannot say;

stylus

1 Peter 4:2, 1 Peter 4:2, Galatians 2:20, Galatians 2:20, Philippians 1:24

23but I am held in a strait by the two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; for it is far better;

stylus

2 Corinthians 5:8, 2 Corinthians 5:8, Psalms 17:15, Psalms 17:15, Acts 7:59

24but to abide in the flesh is more needful for your sake.

stylus

Philippians 1:22, Philippians 1:25, Philippians 1:26, John 16:7, Philippians 1:22

25And being persuaded of this, I know that I shall abide and continue with you all for your advancement and joy in your faith,

stylus

Philippians 2:24, Philippians 2:24, 2 Corinthians 1:24, Ephesians 4:11, Ephesians 4:13

26that your glorying in me, in the cause of Christ Jesus, may be more abundant by my coming to you again.

stylus

2 Corinthians 1:14, 2 Corinthians 1:14, 2 Corinthians 5:12, 2 Corinthians 5:12, Philippians 3:3

27Only conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ, that whether I come and see you, or remain absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one soul striving together for the faith of the gospel,

stylus

Ephesians 4:1, Ephesians 4:1, 1 Corinthians 16:13, 1 Corinthians 16:14, 1 Corinthians 16:13

28and in nothing terrified by your adversaries; which is to them an evident token of perdition, but to you of salvation; and that from God;

stylus

2 Timothy 1:7, 2 Timothy 1:8, 2 Timothy 1:7, 2 Timothy 1:8, Matthew 10:28

29for to you it was given in behalf of Christ, not only to believe in him, but in his behalf to suffer also;

stylus

James 1:2, James 1:2, 1 Peter 4:13, 1 Peter 4:13, Acts 5:41

30as ye have the same conflict which ye saw in me, and now hear of in me.

stylus
