30 day study of the words of Paul ================================= Day 19 EPH 06:11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. EPH 06:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high [places]. EPH 06:13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. EPH 06:14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; EPH 06:15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; EPH 06:16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. EPH 06:17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: EPH 06:18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; EPH 06:19 And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel, EPH 06:20 For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak. EPH 06:21 But that ye also may know my affairs, [and] how I do, Tychicus, a beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord, shall make known to you all things: EPH 06:22 Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that ye might know our affairs, and [that] he might comfort your hearts. EPH 06:23 Peace [be] to the brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. EPH 06:24 Grace [be] with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. Amen. PHP 01:01 Paul and Timotheus, the servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus which are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons: PHP 01:02 Grace [be] unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and [from] the Lord Jesus Christ. PHP 01:03 I thank my God upon every remembrance of you, PHP 01:04 Always in every prayer of mine for you all making request with joy, PHP 01:05 For your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now; PHP 01:06 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: PHP 01:07 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. PHP 01:08 For God is my record, how greatly I long after you all in the bowels of Jesus Christ. PHP 01:09 And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and [in] all judgment; PHP 01:10 That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ; PHP 01:11 Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God. PHP 01:12 But I would ye should understand, brethren, that the things [which happened] unto me have fallen out rather unto the furtherance of the gospel; PHP 01:13 So that my bonds in Christ are manifest in all the palace, and in all other [places]; PHP 01:14 And many of the brethren in the Lord, waxing confident by my bonds, are much more bold to speak the word without fear. PHP 01:15 Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will: PHP 01:16 The one preach Christ of contention, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds: PHP 01:17 But the other of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel. PHP 01:18 What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice. PHP 01:19 For I know that this shall turn to my salvation through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, PHP 01:20 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. PHP 01:21 For to me to live [is] Christ, and to die [is] gain. PHP 01:22 But if I live in the flesh, this [is] the fruit of my labour: yet what I shall choose I wot not. PHP 01:23 For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better: PHP 01:24 Nevertheless to abide in the flesh [is] more needful for you. PHP 01:25 And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide and continue with you all for your furtherance and joy of faith; PHP 01:26 That your rejoicing may be more abundant in Jesus Christ for me by my coming to you again. PHP 01:27 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; PHP 01:28 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. PHP 01:29 For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake; PHP 01:30 Having the same conflict which ye saw in me, and now hear [to be] in me. PHP 02:01 If [there be] therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies, PHP 02:02 Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, [being] of one accord, of one mind. PHP 02:03 [Let] nothing [be done] through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. PHP 02:04 Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. PHP 02:05 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: PHP 02:06 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: PHP 02:07 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: PHP 02:08 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. PHP 02:09 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: PHP 02:10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of [things] in heaven, and [things] in earth, and [things] under the earth; PHP 02:11 And [that] every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ [is] Lord, to the glory of God the Father. PHP 02:12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. PHP 02:13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of [his] good pleasure. PHP 02:14 Do all things without murmurings and disputings: PHP 02:15 That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world; PHP 02:16 Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain. PHP 02:17 Yea, and if I be offered upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy, and rejoice with you all. PHP 02:18 For the same cause also do ye joy, and rejoice with me. PHP 02:19 But I trust in the Lord Jesus to send Timotheus shortly unto you, that I also may be of good comfort, when I know your state. PHP 02:20 For I have no man likeminded, who will naturally care for your state. PHP 02:21 For all seek their own, not the things which are Jesus Christ's. PHP 02:22 But ye know the proof of him, that, as a son with the father, he hath served with me in the gospel. PHP 02:23 Him therefore I hope to send presently, so soon as I shall see how it will go with me. PHP 02:24 But I trust in the Lord that I also myself shall come shortly. PHP 02:25 Yet I supposed it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, and companion in labour, and fellowsoldier, but your messenger, and he that ministered to my wants. PHP 02:26 For he longed after you all, and was full of heaviness, because that ye had heard that he had been sick. PHP 02:27 For indeed he was sick nigh unto death: but God had mercy on him; and not on him only, but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow. PHP 02:28 I sent him therefore the more carefully, that, when ye see him again, ye may rejoice, and that I may be the less sorrowful. PHP 02:29 Receive him therefore in the Lord with all gladness; and hold such in reputation: PHP 02:30 Because for the work of Christ he was nigh unto death, not regarding his life, to supply your lack of service toward me. PHP 03:01 Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed [is] not grievous, but for you [it is] safe. PHP 03:02 Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision. PHP 03:03 For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh. PHP 03:04 Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more: PHP 03:05 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; PHP 03:06 Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless. PHP 03:07 But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. PHP 03:08 Yea doubtless, and I count all things [but] loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them [but] dung, that I may win Christ, ~~~~~~
