Yes, and if I am offered on the sacrifice and ministry of your faith, I joy, and rejoice with you all:

Not that I have already obtained, or am already made perfect: but I press on, if also I may lay hold on that for which also I was laid hold on by Christ Jesus.

Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatever state I am, therein to be content.

But I have all things, and abound: I am filled, having received from Epaphroditus the things [that came] from you, an odor of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, well-pleasing to God.

For though I am absent in the flesh, yet I am with you in the spirit, joying and seeing your order, and the steadfastness of your faith in Christ.

as well praying for us also, that God may open to us a door for the word, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in bonds;

Faithful is the saying, and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief:

having been reminded of the unfeigned faith that is in you; which dwelt first in your grandmother Lois, and your mother Eunice; and, I am persuaded, in you also.

Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God; for God can't be tempted with evil, and he himself tempts no man:

because it is written, You shall be holy; for I am holy.

The elders among you I exhort, who am a fellow-elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, who am also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed:

And I think it right, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance;

For he received from God the Father honor and glory, when there was borne such a voice to him by the Majestic Glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased:

If any man sees his brother sinning a sin not to death, he shall ask, and [God] will give him life-for those that sin not to death. There is sin to death: [but] that's not what I am saying he should ask about.

I had many things to write to you, but I am unwilling to write [them] to you with ink and pen:

I am the Alpha and the Omega, says the Lord God, who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.

And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as one dead. And he laid his right hand on me, saying, Don't be afraid; I am the first and the last,

and the Living one; and I became dead, and look, I am alive for evermore, and I have the keys of death and of Hades.
