rejoice, not that ye were made
sorry, but that ye sorrowed to
repentance: for ye were made
sorry after a godly

repentance. For you felt the sorrow that God had intended, and so were not

cheerful giver.

burdensome unto you, and so will I keep myself.

man to utter.

infirmities.

fool; for I will say the truth: but now I
forbear, lest any
man should think of me above that which he
seeth me to be, or that he heareth of me.
Even if I wanted to
boast, I would not be a
fool, because I would be speaking the truth. But I
refrain, so no one will credit me with more than he sees in me or hears from me,
I am afraid that when I come again, my God will humble me before you, and I will be

favoritism—those leaders added nothing to me.

Jew, livest after the
manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?
When I saw that they were not walking in line with the truth of the gospel, I said to
Cephas in front of them all, “If you, who are a
Jew, live like a
Gentile and not like a
Jew, how can you
compel the Gentiles to live like Jews?”

curse. For it is written: “

Brethren, I speak after the
manner of men; Though it be but a

ratified, cannot be
canceled or
amended.

yourself, or you also may be
tempted.

For each one should carry his own load.
As
many as desire to make a fair
shew in the flesh, they
constrain you to be
circumcised; only lest they should suffer persecution for the cross of Christ.

man out of the two, thus making peace

mature to the full measure of the
stature of Christ.

man, which is corrupt according to the

holiness.

whatsoever good thing any
man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free.

As a result, it has become clear throughout the whole palace guard and to
everyone else that I am in chains for Christ.
And
many of the brethren in the Lord, waxing
confident by my bonds, are much more bold to speak the word without fear.
And most of the brothers,
confident in the Lord by my chains, now
dare more greatly to speak the word without fear.

striving together for the faith of the gospel;

I have
nobody else like him who will genuinely care for your needs.

man thinketh that he hath
whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more:
though I myself could have such confidence. If
anyone else thinks he has grounds for confidence in the flesh, I have more:
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.

reveal this to you as well.
(For

Laodicea, and for as
many as have not seen my face in the flesh;

Laodicea, and for all who have not met me face to face,
I say this so that no one will
deceive you by smooth rhetoric.

man spoil you through philosophy and vain
deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.

captive through philosophy and empty
deception, which are based on human tradition and the spiritual forces of the world rather than on Christ.
Let no
man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an
holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:
Therefore let no one judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a feast, a New Moon, or a Sabbath.

humility and the worship of angels
disqualify you with speculation about what he has seen. Such a person is
puffed up without basis by his unspiritual mind.

Creator.

man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ
forgave you, so also do ye.

everyone.

shew of us what
manner of entering in we had unto you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God;

That ye would walk worthy of God, who hath called you unto his kingdom and glory.
encouraging you, comforting you, and
urging you to walk in a
manner worthy of God, who calls you into His own kingdom and glory.
That no
man should be moved by these afflictions: for
yourselves know that we are appointed
thereunto.
so that none of you would be
shaken by these trials. For you know that we are destined for this.
and no one should ever
violate or
exploit his brother in this regard, because the Lord will
avenge all such acts, as we have already told you and solemnly
warned you.

Anyone, then, who rejects this command does not
reject man but God, the very One who gives you His Holy Spirit.
See that none render evil for evil unto any
man; but ever follow that which is good, both among
yourselves, and to all men.

man of
lawlessness—the son of destruction—is revealed.
Neither did we eat any
man’s bread for
nought; but wrought with labour and
travail night and day, that we might not be chargeable to any of you:
nor did we eat
anyone’s food without paying for it. Instead, in labor and
toil, we worked night and day so that we would not be a burden to any of you.
And if any
man obey not our word by this epistle, note that
man, and have no company with him, that he may be
ashamed.
Take note of
anyone who does not obey the instructions we have given in this letter. Do not associate with him, so that he may be
ashamed.
But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully;
Now we know that the law is good, if one uses it legitimately.
Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous
man, but for the lawless and
disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and
profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for
manslayers,
We
realize that law is not
enacted for the righteous, but for the lawless and
rebellious, for the ungodly and sinful, for the unholy and
profane, for killers of father or mother, for murderers,
