But whereunto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing.

Be careful for nothing, but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God:

I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at last your care of me hath flourished again; wherein ye were also careful; but ye lacked opportunity.

And ye know likewise, O Philippians, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church communicated to me in respect of giving and receiving but you only.

Not that I desire a gift, but I desire fruit that may abound to your account.

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

The mystery which hath been hid from ages and generations; but now is manifested to his saints:

but the body is of Christ.

Which things (though they have indeed a shew of wisdom, in voluntary worship and humility, and not sparing the body) yet are not of any value, but are to the satisfying of the flesh.

But now put ye also all these things off, anger, wrath, ill-nature, evil speaking, filthy discourse out of your mouth.

But he that doth wrong, shall receive for the wrong he hath done; and there is no respect of persons.

For our gospel came not to you in word only, but also with power, and with the Holy Ghost, and with much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you, for your sake.

For from you the word of the Lord sounded forth, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but your faith toward God went abroad in every place also, so that we need not speak any thing.

For yourselves, brethren, know our entrance to you, that it was not in vain: But even after we had suffered before,

But as we have been approved of God to be intrusted with the gospel, so we speak, not as pleasing men, but God who trieth our hearts.

But we were gentle in the midst of you, even as a nurse cherisheth her own children.

So, loving you tenderly, we were ready to impart to you not only the gospel of God, but our own souls also, because ye were dear to us.

For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, even because when ye received the word of God from us, ye received it, not as the word of men, but (as it is in truth) the word of God, who likewise effectually worketh in you that believe.
