Who was put to death for us, so that, awake or sleeping, we may have a part in his life.

Go then, and make disciples of all the nations, giving them baptism in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit:

And at the sounding of the seventh angel there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord, and of his Christ, and he will have rule for ever and ever.

And that you may take pride in being quiet and doing your business, working with your hands as we gave you orders;

For what is our hope or joy or crown of glory? Are not even you, before our Lord Jesus, at his coming? For you are our glory and our joy.

So that your lives might be pleasing to God, who has given you a part in his kingdom and his glory.

Be wise in your behaviour to those who are outside, making good use of the time.

All those things, then, which you would have men do to you, even so do you to them: because this is the law and the prophets.

For what is our hope or joy or crown of glory? Are not even you, before our Lord Jesus, at his coming?

Children, do the orders of your fathers and mothers in all things, for this is pleasing to the Lord.

For in him all the wealth of God's being has a living form,

Who has made us free from the power of evil and given us a place in the kingdom of the Son of his love;

I am able to do all things through him who gives me strength.

Brothers, it is clear to me that I have not come to that knowledge; but one thing I do, letting go those things which are past, and stretching out to the things which are before,I go forward to the mark, even the reward of the high purpose of God in Christ Jesus.

For I gave to you first of all what was handed down to me, how Christ underwent death for our sins, as it says in the Writings;And he was put in the place of the dead; and on the third day he came back from the dead, as it says in the Writings;

Do all things without protests and arguments;

Let this mind be in you which was in Christ Jesus,

For I am certain of this very thing, that he by whom the good work was started in you will make it complete till the day of Jesus Christ:

Give honour to your father and mother (which is the first rule having a reward),

Taking care to keep the harmony of the Spirit in the yoke of peace.

So that Christ may have his place in your hearts through faith; and that you, being rooted and based in love,

Brothers, it is clear to me that I have not come to that knowledge; but one thing I do, letting go those things which are past, and stretching out to the things which are before,

I have made a good fight, I have come to the end of my journey, I have kept the faith:

That in the wealth of his glory he would make you strong with power through his Spirit in your hearts;

For by his act we were given existence in Christ Jesus to do those good works which God before made ready for us so that we might do them.

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has given us every blessing of the Spirit in the heavens in Christ:

But keep yourself from those desires of the flesh which are strong when the body is young, and go after righteousness, faith, love, peace, with those whose prayers go up to the Lord from a clean heart.

In the day of wealth have joy, but in the day of evil take thought: God has put the one against the other, so that man may not be certain what will be after him.
