Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
Now I beseech you, brethren, for the Lord Jesus Christ's sake, and for the love of the Spirit, that ye strive together with me in your prayers to God for me;
Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;
Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.
As ye also learned of Epaphras our dear fellowservant, who is for you a faithful minister of Christ;
There salute thee Epaphras, my fellowprisoner in Christ Jesus;
