But I haue all, and abound. I am full, hauing receiued of Epaphroditus the things which were sent from you, an odour of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, well pleasing to God.

But my God shall supply all your need, according to his riches in glory, by Christ Iesus.

Now vnto God and our Father be glory for euer and euer. Amen.

Buried with him in Baptisme, wherein also you are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.

And not holding the head, from which all the body by ioynts and bands hauing nourishment ministred, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God.

If yee then bee risen with Christ, seeke those things which are aboue, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God:

For yee are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
