50:002:015 That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world; 50:002:016 Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain. 50:002:017 Yea, and if I be offered upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy, and rejoice with you all. 50:002:018 For the same cause also do ye joy, and rejoice with me. 50:002:019 But I trust in the Lord Jesus to send Timotheus shortly unto you, that I also may be of good comfort, when I know your state. 50:002:020 For I have no man likeminded, who will naturally care for your state. 50:002:021 For all seek their own, not the things which are Jesus Christ's. 50:002:022 But ye know the proof of him, that, as a son with the father, he hath served with me in the gospel. 50:002:023 Him therefore I hope to send presently, so soon as I shall see how it will go with me. 50:002:024 But I trust in the Lord that I also myself shall come shortly. 50:002:025 Yet I supposed it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, and companion in labour, and fellowsoldier, but your messenger, and he that ministered to my wants. 50:002:026 For he longed after you all, and was full of heaviness, because that ye had heard that he had been sick. 50:002:027 For indeed he was sick nigh unto death: but God had mercy on him; and not on him only, but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow. 50:002:028 I sent him therefore the more carefully, that, when ye see him again, ye may rejoice, and that I may be the less sorrowful. 50:002:029 Receive him therefore in the Lord with all gladness; and hold such in reputation: 50:002:030 Because for the work of Christ he was nigh unto death, not regarding his life, to supply your lack of service toward me. 50:003:001 Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not grievous, but for you it is safe. 50:003:002 Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision. 50:003:003 For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh. 50:003:004 Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more: 50:003:005 Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee; 50:003:006 Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless.
