Now I beseech you, brethren, by our Lord Jesus Christ, and by the love of the Spirit, that ye strive together with me in your prayers to God for me;

Epaphras, my fellow- prisoner in Christ Jesus, saluteth thee;

even as ye learned of Epaphras our beloved fellow- servant, who is a faithful minister of Christ on our behalf,

yet now hath he reconciled in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and without blemish and unreproveable before him:

We speak wisdom, however, among them that are fullgrown: yet a wisdom not of this world, nor of the rulers of this world, who are coming to nought:

If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will the Father honor.

Brethren, be not children in mind: yet in malice be ye babes, but in mind be men.

Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfected; be comforted; be of the same mind; live in peace: and the God of love and peace shall be with you.

And I myself also am persuaded of you, my brethren, that ye yourselves are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another.

whom we proclaim, admonishing every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ;

Ye therefore shall be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

Now unto him that is able to guard you from stumbling, and to set you before the presence of his glory without blemish in exceeding joy,

My little children, of whom I am again in travail until Christ be formed in you—

For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray and make request for you, that ye may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding,

But solid food is for fullgrown men, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern good and evil.Wherefore leaving the doctrine of the first principles of Christ, let us press on unto perfection; not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,

Confess therefore your sins one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The supplication of a righteous man availeth much in its working.

And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly; and his sweat became as it were great drops of blood falling down upon the ground.

For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? or am I striving to please men? if I were still pleasing men, I should not be a servant of Christ.

Not that I have already obtained, or am already made perfect: but I press on, if so be that I may lay hold on that for which also I was laid hold on by Christ Jesus.Brethren, I count not myself yet to have laid hold: but one thing I do, forgetting the things which are behind, and stretching forward to the things which are before,I press on toward the goal unto the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, be thus minded: and if in anything ye are otherwise minded, this also shall God reveal unto you:

Masters, render unto your servants that which is just and equal; knowing that ye also have a Master in heaven.Continue stedfastly in prayer, watching therein with thanksgiving;

Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained a like precious faith with us in the righteousness of our God and the Saviour Jesus Christ:

And the God of peace himself sanctify you wholly; and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved entire, without blame at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Who in the days of his flesh, having offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and having been heard for his godly fear,

For I would have you know how greatly I strive for you, and for them at Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh;that their hearts may be comforted, they being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, that they may know the mystery of God, even Christ,in whom are all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge hidden.This I say, that no one may delude you with persuasiveness of speech.For though I am absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, joying and beholding your order, and the stedfastness of your faith in Christ.As therefore ye received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him,rooted and builded up in him, and established in your faith, even as ye were taught, abounding in thanksgiving.Take heed lest there shall be any one that maketh spoil of you through his philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ:for in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily,and in him ye are made full, who is the head of all principality and power:in whom ye were also circumcised with a circumcision not made with hands, in the putting off of the body of the flesh, in the circumcision of Christ;having been buried with him in baptism, wherein ye were also raised with him through faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead.And you, being dead through your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, you, I say, did he make alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses;having blotted out the bond written in ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us: and he hath taken it out of the way, nailing it to the cross;having despoiled the principalities and the powers, he made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it.Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of a feast day or a new moon or a sabbath day:which are a shadow of the things to come; but the body is Christ’s.Let no man rob you of your prize by a voluntary humility and worshipping of the angels, dwelling in the things which he hath seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,and not holding fast the Head, from whom all the body, being supplied and knit together through the joints and bands, increaseth with the increase of God.If ye died with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, do ye subject yourselves to ordinances,Handle not, nor taste, nor touch( all which things are to perish with the using), after the precepts and doctrines of men?Which things have indeed a show of wisdom in will- worship, and humility, and severity to the body; but are not of any value against the indulgence of the flesh.

James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are of the Dispersion, greeting.
