10 But He knows the way that I take; [when] He has tried me, I shall come forth as gold.
11 My foot has held fast in His steps; I have kept His way, and have not fallen away;
2 For [in] many [things] we all offend. If anyone does not offend in word, the same [is] a full-grown man, able also to bridle the whole body.
24 Before now you have asked nothing in My name; ask and you shall receive, that your joy may be full.
31 [As for] God, His way [is] perfect. The word of the LORD [is] tried. He is a shield to all those who seek refuge in Him.
7 He lays up sound wisdom for the righteous; [He is] a shield to those who walk uprightly.
27 Pure religion and undefiled before God and [the] Father [is] this, to visit orphans and widows in their afflictions, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.
17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness nor shadow of turning.
1 ALEPH. Blessed [are] the upright in the way, who walk in the law of the LORD.
30 [As for] God, His way [is] perfect; the Word of the LORD [is] tried; He [is] a shield to all those who trust in Him.
10 But I exhort you, brothers, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, [that] you all speak the same thing and that there be no divisions among you; but that you be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.
14 And above all these things [put on] love, which is [the] bond of perfectness.
2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, in order to prove by you what [is] that good and pleasing and perfect will of God.
11 I have spoken these things to you so that My joy might remain in you and your joy might be full.
15 See [that] none gives evil for evil to anyone, but always pursue the good, both towards one another and towards all.
1 If [there is] therefore any encouragement in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of [the] Spirit, if any tendernesses and mercies,
2 then fulfill my joy, that you may be like-minded, having the same love, [being] of one accord and of one mind.
3 [Let] nothing [be done] through strife or vainglory, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than themselves.
4 Do not let each man look upon his own things, but each man also [on] the things of others.
5 For let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus,
6 who, being in the form of God, thought [it] not robbery to be equal with God,
7 but made Himself of no reputation, and took [upon Himself] the form of a servant, and was made in [the] likeness of men.
8 And being found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself [and] became obedient unto death, even [the] death of the cross.
9 Therefore God has highly exalted Him, and has given Him a name [which is] above every name,
10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of heavenly ones, and of earthly ones, and of ones under [the] earth;
11 and [that] every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ [is] Lord, to [the] glory of God [the] Father.
12 Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, cultivate your own salvation with fear and trembling.
13 For it is God who works in you both to will and to do of [His] good pleasure.
14 Do all things without murmurings and disputings,
15 so that you may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation. Among these you shine as lights in the world,
16 holding forth the word of life, so that I may rejoice with you in [the] day of Christ, that I have not run in vain nor labored in vain.
17 Yea, and if I am offered upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy and rejoice with you all.
18 And you also rejoice [in] the same, and rejoice with me.
19 But I trust in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy shortly to you, so that I also may be of good comfort when I know [your state].
20 For I have no one who is like-minded, who will naturally care for [your state].
21 For all seek their own, not the things which are of Jesus Christ.
22 But you know the proof of him, that, as a son with the father, he has served with me in the gospel.
23 Therefore I hope to send him presently, as soon as I shall see the things about me.
24 But I trust in [the] Lord that I myself shall also come shortly.
25 Yet I thought it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother and fellow-worker, and fellow-soldier, but your messenger and he who ministered to my wants.
26 For he longed after you all and was full of heaviness, because you had heard that he had been sick.
27 For indeed he was sick, coming near death, but God had mercy on him, and not on him only, but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow.
28 Therefore I sent him the more eagerly, so that you may rejoice when you see him again, and that I may be the less sorrowful.
29 Therefore receive him in the Lord with all gladness, and hold such in honor,
30 because for the work of Christ he was near death, not regarding his life, to supply your lack of service toward me.
21 Jesus said to him, If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have and give to [the] poor, and you shall have treasure in Heaven. And come, follow Me.
2 He who walks uprightly, and works righteousness, and speaks the truth in his heart;
3 [he] does not backbite with his tongue, nor do evil to his neighbor, nor take up a reproach against his neighbor;
9 And being perfected, He became [the] Author of eternal salvation to all those who obey Him,
