30 day study of the words of Paul ================================= Day 20 PHP 03:09 And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: PHP 03:10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; PHP 03:11 If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead. PHP 03:12 Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. PHP 03:13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but [this] one thing [I do], forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, PHP 03:14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. PHP 03:15 Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you. PHP 03:16 Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing. PHP 03:17 Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample. PHP 03:18 (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, [that they are] the enemies of the cross of Christ: PHP 03:19 Whose end [is] destruction, whose God [is their] belly, and [whose] glory [is] in their shame, who mind earthly things.) PHP 03:20 For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: PHP 03:21 Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself. PHP 04:01 Therefore, my brethren, dearly beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, [my] dearly beloved. PHP 04:02 I beseech Euodias, and beseech Syntyche, that they be of the same mind in the Lord. PHP 04:03 And I entreat thee also, true yokefellow, help those women which laboured with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and [with] other my fellowlabourers, whose names [are] in the book of life. PHP 04:04 Rejoice in the Lord alway: [and] again I say, Rejoice. PHP 04:05 Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord [is] at hand. PHP 04:06 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. PHP 04:07 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. PHP 04:08 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things [are] honest, whatsoever things [are] just, whatsoever things [are] pure, whatsoever things [are] lovely, whatsoever things [are] of good report; if [there be] any virtue, and if [there be] any praise, think on these things. PHP 04:09 Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you. PHP 04:10 But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at the last your care of me hath flourished again; wherein ye were also careful, but ye lacked opportunity. PHP 04:11 Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, [therewith] to be content. PHP 04:12 I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. PHP 04:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. PHP 04:14 Notwithstanding ye have well done, that ye did communicate with my affliction. PHP 04:15 Now ye Philippians know also, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church communicated with me as concerning giving and receiving, but ye only. PHP 04:16 For even in Thessalonica ye sent once and again unto my necessity. PHP 04:17 Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may abound to your account. PHP 04:18 But I have all, and abound: I am full, having received of Epaphroditus the things [which were sent] from you, an odour of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, wellpleasing to God. PHP 04:19 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. PHP 04:20 Now unto God and our Father [be] glory for ever and ever. Amen. PHP 04:21 Salute every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren which are with me greet you. PHP 04:22 All the saints salute you, chiefly they that are of Caesar's household. PHP 04:23 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you all. Amen. COL 01:01 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timotheus [our] brother, COL 01:02 To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ which are at Colosse: Grace [be] unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. COL 01:03 We give thanks to God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you, COL 01:04 Since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love [which ye have] to all the saints, COL 01:05 For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel; COL 01:06 Which is come unto you, as [it is] in all the world; and bringeth forth fruit, as [it doth] also in you, since the day ye heard [of it], and knew the grace of God in truth: COL 01:07 As ye also learned of Epaphras our dear fellowservant, who is for you a faithful minister of Christ; COL 01:08 Who also declared unto us your love in the Spirit. COL 01:09 For this cause we also, since the day we heard [it], do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; COL 01:10 That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God; COL 01:11 Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness; COL 01:12 Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: COL 01:13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated [us] into the kingdom of his dear Son: COL 01:14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, [even] the forgiveness of sins: COL 01:15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: COL 01:16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether [they be] thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: COL 01:17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. COL 01:18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all [things] he might have the preeminence. COL 01:19 For it pleased [the Father] that in him should all fulness dwell; COL 01:20 And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, [I say], whether [they be] things in earth, or things in heaven. COL 01:21 And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in [your] mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled COL 01:22 In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight: COL 01:23 If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and [be] not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, [and] which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister; COL 01:24 Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body's sake, which is the church: COL 01:25 Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God; COL 01:26 [Even] the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: COL 01:27 To whom God would make known what [is] the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: COL 01:28 Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus: COL 01:29 Whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily. COL 02:01 For I would that ye knew what great conflict I have for you, and [for] them at Laodicea, and [for] as many as have not seen my face in the flesh; COL 02:02 That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgment of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ; COL 02:03 In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. COL 02:04 And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing words. COL 02:05 For though I be absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, joying and beholding your order, and the stedfastness of your faith in Christ. COL 02:06 As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, [so] walk ye in him: COL 02:07 Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. COL 02:08 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. COL 02:09 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. COL 02:10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power: COL 02:11 In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ: ~~~~~~
