²¹ The salutation is by my hand - Paul's. ²² If anyone is not fond of the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be anathema! Maran atha!"

² You are our letter, engraven in our hearts, known and read by all men,

² Lo! I, Paul, am saying to you that if you should be circumcising, Christ will benefit you nothing."

¹¹ Lo! with what size letters I write to you with my own hand!

¹⁹ My brethren, if anyone among you should be led astray from the way of the truth, and someone should be turning him back, ²⁰ let him know that he who turns back a sinner out of the deception of his way will be saving his soul from death and will be covering a multitude of sins.

² For if I am making you sorry, who also, is gladdening me, except he who is made sorry by me?

⁴ Much is my boldness toward you; much is my boasting over you, I am filled full with consolation, ⁵ I am superexceeding in joy in all our affliction. For even at our coming into Macedonia, our flesh has no ease, but we are afflicted in everything: outside fightings; inside fears." ⁶ But God, Who is consoling the humble, consoles us by the presence of Titus, ⁷ yet not only by his presence, but by the consolation also with which he was consoled over you, informing us of your longing, your anguish, your zeal for my sake; so that I rather rejoice that,

⁸ for God is my Witness how I am longing for you all in the compassions of Christ Jesus.

¹ If, then, there is any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any communion of spirit, if any compassion and pity, ² fill my joy full, that you may be mutually disposed, having mutual love, joined in soul, being disposed to one thing"

¹ So that, my brethren, beloved and longed for, my joy and wreath, be standing firm thus in the Lord, my beloved."

¹⁹ For who is our expectation, or joy, or wreath of glorying? Or is it not even you, in front of our Lord Jesus, in His presence? ²⁰ For you are our glory and joy.

⁷ therefore we were consoled, brethren, over you in all our necessity and affliction, through your faith, ⁸ for now we are living if ever you are standing firm in the Lord. ⁹ For what thanksgiving are we able to repay to God concerning you for all the joy with which we are rejoicing because of you in front of our God,

¹⁷ Be persuaded by your leaders, and be deferring to them, for they are vigilant for the sake of your souls, as having to render an account, that they may be doing this with joy, and not with groaning, for this is disadvantageous for you."

¹⁷ Now whoever may be having a livelihood in this world, and may be beholding his brother having need, and should be locking his compassions from him - how is the love of God remaining in him?

⁴ I am having no greater joy than this, that I am hearing of my children walking in the truth."

³ And I write this same thing to you, lest, coming, I may have sorrow from those on whom it was binding to be causing me to rejoice; having confidence in you all,

¹⁶ I am rejoicing that in everything I am encouraged in you.

²² Now we send together with them our brother, whom we test in many things, often, being diligent, yet now much more diligent, yet with much confidence in you,

¹⁰ I have confidence in you in the Lord that in nothing you will be disposed otherwise. Now he who is disturbing you shall be bearing his judgment, whosoever he may be."

⁴ Now we have confidence in you in the Lord that what we are charging, you are doing also and will be doing."

²³ Now setting a day for him, more came to him in the lodging, to whom he expounded, certifying to the kingdom of God, besides persuading them concerning Jesus, both from the law of Moses and the prophets, from morning till dusk."

²⁴ as ever I may be going into Spain (for I am expecting, while going through, to gaze upon you, and by you to be sent forward there, if I should ever first be filled, in part, by you) -"

³⁰ Now I am entreating you, brethren, through our Lord Jesus Christ, and through the love of the spirit, to struggle together with me in prayers to God for me, ³¹ that I should be rescued from the stubborn in Judea, and my dispensation for Jerusalem may be becoming well received by the saints, ³² that I may be coming to you with joy through the will of God, and I should be resting together with you."

¹¹ you also assisting together by a petition for us, in order that, from many faces He may be thanked by many for us for the gracious gift given to us."

¹⁹ For I am aware that, for me, this will be eventuating in salvation through your petition and the supply of the spirit of Jesus Christ,

²⁵ And, having this confidence, I am aware that I shall be remaining and shall be abiding with you all for your progress and joy of faith, ²⁶ that your glorying may be superabounding in Christ Jesus in me through my presence with you again.

²⁴ Yet I have confidence in the Lord that I myself shall also be coming quickly.

²³ Know that our brother Timothy has been released, with whom, if he should be coming more quickly, I shall be seeing you."

¹⁶ Then confess sins to one another and pray for one another, so that you may be healed. The operative petition of the just is availing much."

¹² Having much to write to you, I resolved not to do it with paper and ink, but I am expecting to come to you and to speak mouth to mouth, that your joy may be full."

¹⁴ Yet I am expecting to see you immediately, and we will be speaking mouth to mouth. (1:15) Peace be to you! The friends are greeting you. Greet the friends by name."

⁷ Greet Andronicus and Junias, my relatives and my fellow captives who are notable among the apostles, who also came to be in Christ before me."

⁷ according as you learned it from Epaphras, our beloved fellow slave, who is a faithful dispenser of Christ for us,

¹⁰ Greeting you is Aristarchus, my fellow captive, and Mark, cousin of Barnabas (concerning whom you obtained directions: if he should be coming to you, receive him),

¹² Greeting you is Epaphras, who is one of you, a slave of Christ Jesus, always struggling for you in prayers, that you may stand mature and fully assured in all the will of God."

¹² Besides, being conscious, he came to the house of Mary, the mother of John who is surnamed Mark, where a considerable number were, convened together and praying."

²⁵ Now Barnabas and Saul return out of Jerusalem, completing the dispensing, taking along with them John, who is surnamed "Mark."

¹³ Now setting out from Paphos, those about Paul came to Perga of Pamphylia. Yet John, departing from them, returns to Jerusalem."

³⁷ to see how they are faring.Now Barnabas intended to take along with them John also, who is called Mark." ³⁸ Yet Paul counted the man who withdraws from them from Pamphylia and comes not with them to the work - this man not worthy to take along. ³⁹ Now they become so incensed as to recoil from one another. Besides, Barnabas, taking Mark along, sails off to Cyprus."

²⁹ And filled is the city with confusion. Besides, they rush with one accord into the theater, gripping Gaius and Aristarchus, Macedonians, fellow travelers of Paul."

² Now, stepping on board a ship of Adramyttium, about to be sailing for places in the province of Asia, we set out, with us being Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica."

¹⁴ Greeting you is Luke, the beloved physician, and Demas."

¹⁰ for Demas, loving the current eon, forsook me and went to Thessalonica, Crescens to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia." ¹¹ Luke only is with me. Taking Mark, lead him back with you, for he is useful to me for service."

¹ Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and brother Timothy, to Philemon, the beloved, and our fellow worker, ² and to sister Apphia, and to Archippus, our fellow soldier, and to the ecclesia at your house:"

⁸ We then, ought to be taking up such, that we may become fellow workers in the truth. "

²⁰ Now the God of peace will be crushing Satan under your feet swiftly. The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you!

²³ Greeting you is Gaius, my host, and of the whole ecclesia. Greeting you is Erastus, the administrator of the city, and Quartus, the brother."

¹⁸ The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brethren! Amen!"

²² The Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit! Grace be with you! Amen!
