2 Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. See also: Romans 1:7 2 Corinthians 1:2 1 Peter 1:2
3 ¶ I thank my God upon every remembrance of you, See also: 1 Corinthians 1:4 1 Thessalonians 1:2-3 Philemon 1:4-5 2 Timothy 1:3 Ephesians 1:15-16
4 Always in every prayer of mine for you all making request with joy, See also: 1 Thessalonians 1:2 Romans 1:9 2 John 1:4 Philippians 2:2 Ephesians 1:14-23
5 For your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now; See also: Philippians 4:14-15 Philippians 1:7 Hebrews 3:14 Philemon 1:17 2 Corinthians 8:1
6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ: See also: 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24 Philippians 2:13 Ephesians 4:12 Hebrews 13:20-21 Psalms 138:8
7 ¶ Even as it is meet for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart; inasmuch as both in my bonds, and in the defence and confirmation of the gospel, ye all are partakers of my grace. See also: 2 Corinthians 7:3 Philippians 1:5 Colossians 4:18 2 Timothy 2:9 Acts 16:23-25
8 For God is my record, how greatly I long after you all in the bowels of Jesus Christ. See also: Romans 1:9 Philippians 4:1 1 Thessalonians 2:8 2 Timothy 1:4 Romans 9:1
9 ¶ And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment; See also: 1 Thessalonians 3:12 Colossians 1:9 2 Peter 1:5-6 Philemon 1:6 Colossians 3:10
10 That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ; See also: Romans 12:2 1 Thessalonians 3:13 1 Thessalonians 5:23 Romans 2:18 Ephesians 5:10
11 Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God. See also: Hebrews 12:11 John 15:8 Colossians 1:10 John 15:4-5 Galatians 5:22-23
12 ¶ But I would ye should understand, brethren, that the things which happened unto me have fallen out rather unto the furtherance of the gospel; See also: 2 Timothy 2:9 Romans 8:28 Acts 11:19-21 Romans 8:37 Acts 8:4
13 So that my bonds in Christ are manifest in all the palace, and in all other places; See also: 2 Timothy 2:9 Ephesians 3:1 Acts 26:29 Ephesians 6:20 Philippians 1:7
14 And many of the brethren in the Lord, waxing confident by my bonds, are much more bold to speak the word without fear. See also: Ephesians 6:19-20 1 Thessalonians 2:2 Luke 1:74 Philippians 1:7 Colossians 4:4
15 Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will: See also: Romans 16:17-18 Philippians 2:3 2 Corinthians 11:13 2 Corinthians 4:5 1 Peter 5:2-4
16 The one preach Christ of contention, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds: See also: 2 Corinthians 2:17 2 Corinthians 4:1-2 Job 6:14 Psalms 69:26 Philippians 1:7

18 What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice. See also: Luke 9:50 Mark 9:38-40 1 Corinthians 15:11 Philippians 1:14-17 Matthew 23:13
19 For I know that this shall turn to my salvation through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, See also: Romans 8:28 Acts 16:7 2 Corinthians 1:11 Galatians 4:6 Romans 8:9
20 According to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death. See also: 1 Peter 4:16 1 Corinthians 6:20 Isaiah 54:4 1 Thessalonians 5:23 Ephesians 6:19-20
21 ¶ For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. See also: Galatians 2:20 2 Corinthians 5:8 2 Corinthians 5:1 Philippians 1:23 2 Corinthians 5:6
22 But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labour: yet what I shall choose I wot not. See also: 1 Peter 4:2 Galatians 2:20 Philippians 1:24 2 Corinthians 10:3 Psalms 71:18
23 For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better: See also: 2 Corinthians 5:8 Psalms 17:15 Revelation 14:13 Luke 23:43 John 17:24
24 Nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more needful for you. See also: John 16:7 Philippians 1:22 Philippians 1:25-26 Acts 20:29-31
25 And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide and continue with you all for your furtherance and joy of faith; See also: Philippians 2:24 2 Corinthians 1:24 Ephesians 4:11-13 Acts 20:25 Romans 1:11-12
26 That your rejoicing may be more abundant in Jesus Christ for me by my coming to you again. See also: 2 Corinthians 1:14 2 Corinthians 5:12 Philippians 3:3 Philippians 4:4 Song of Solomon 5:1
27 ¶ Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel; See also: Ephesians 4:1 1 Corinthians 16:13-14 1 Corinthians 1:10 2 Peter 3:14 Philippians 2:1-2
28 And in nothing terrified by your adversaries: which is to them an evident token of perdition, but to you of salvation, and that of God. See also: 2 Timothy 1:7-8 2 Thessalonians 1:5-6 Matthew 10:28 Isaiah 51:7 2 Timothy 2:11-12
29 For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake; See also: James 1:2 1 Peter 4:13 Acts 5:41 Romans 5:3 Acts 14:22
30 Having the same conflict which ye saw in me, and now hear to be in me. See also: 1 Thessalonians 2:2 Acts 16:19-40 2 Timothy 4:7 Romans 8:35-37 John 16:33
