CHAPTER II. 1 He exhorteth them to unity, and to all humbleness of mind, by the example of Christ's humility and exaltation: 12 to a careful proceeding in the way of salvation, that they be as lights to the wick ed world, 16 and comforts to him their apostle, who is now ready to be offered up to God. 19 Ile hopeth to send Timothy to them, whom he greatly commendeth, 25 as Epaphroditus also, whom he presently sendeth to them.

IF there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any b bowels and mercies,

2 Fulfil ye my joy, d that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.

3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but fin lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.

45 Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.

5 h Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:

8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and "became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

9 Wherefore God also P hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:

10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;

11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to Hleb. 2.11,17. the glory of God the Father.

24 But I trust in the Lord that I also myself shall come shortly.

25 Yet I supposed it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, and companion in labour, and fellow soldier, but your messenger, and he that ministered to my wants.

26 For he longed after you all, and was full of heaviness, because that ye had heard that he had been sick..

27 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.

CHAPTER III.

1 He warneth them to beware of the false teachers of the circumcision, 4 shewing that himself hath greater cause than they to trust in the righteousness of the law: 7 which notwithstanding he counteth as dung and loss, to gain Christ and hie righteousness, 12 therein acknowledging his own imperfection. 15 He exhorteth them to be thus minded, 17 and to imitate him, 18 and to decline the ways of carnal Christians.

To write the same FINALLY, my brethren, rejoice things to you, to me indeed is not grievous, but for you it is safe. 2 b Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, d beware of the concision. 3 For we are the circumcision, f which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.

4 Though hI might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more:

less.

7 But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. 8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, 9 And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:

10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; 11 If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead. 12 Not as though I had already a attained, either were already b perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.

13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and d reaching forth unto those things which are before, 14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

15 Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you. 16 Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk k by 1 The. 1. 6. the same rule, 1 let us mind the same thing.

aan apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timotheus our brother,

2 To the saints band faithful brethren in Christ which are at Colosse: Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

3d We give thanks to God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you,

4 Since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of f the love which ye have to all the saints,

5 For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel;

6 Which is come unto you, has it is in all the world; and i bringeth forth fruit, as it doth also in you, since the day ye heard of it, and knew kthe grace of God in truth:

7 As ye also learned of 1Epaphras our dear fellow servant, who is for you a faithful minister of Christ; 8 Who also declared unto us your "love in the Spirit.

9° For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire P that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his Will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;

which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:

13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, d and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:

14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:

15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:

16 For h by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in carth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or i dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created k by him, and for him:
