² that ye receive her in the Lord, worthily of the saints, and that ye assist her in whatsoever matter she may have need of you: for she herself also hath been a helper of many, and of mine own self.

²⁹ Receive him therefore in the Lord with all joy; and hold such in honor:

¹⁴ Howbeit ye did well that ye had fellowship with my affliction.

¹⁵ And ye yourselves also know, ye Philippians, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church had fellowship with me in the matter of giving and receiving but ye only;

¹⁶ for even in Thessalonica ye sent once and again unto my need.

¹⁷ Not that I seek for the gift; but I seek for the fruit that increaseth to your account.

¹⁸ But I have all things, and abound: I am filled, having received from Epaphroditus the things `that came' from you, and odor of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, well-pleasing to God.

¹⁹ And my God shall supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

¹⁰ Aristarchus my fellow-prisoner saluteth you, and Mark, the cousin of Barnabas (touching whom ye received commandments; if he come unto you, receive him),

¹⁰ but (which becometh women professing godliness) through good works.

¹⁸ (the Lord grant unto him to find mercy of the Lord in that day); and in how many things he ministered at Ephesus, thou knowest very well.

³ that aged women likewise be reverent in demeanor, not slanderers nor enslaved to much wine, teachers of that which is good;

¹² whom I have sent back to thee in his own person, that is, my very heart:

¹⁷ If then thou countest me a partner, receive him as myself.

¹⁰ If any one cometh unto you, and bringeth not this teaching, receive him not into `your' house, and give him no greeting:

⁵ Beloved, thou doest a faithful work in whatsoever thou doest toward them that are brethren and strangers withal;

⁶ who bare witness to thy love before the church: whom thou wilt do well to set forward on their journey worthily of God:

⁷ because that for the sake of the Name they went forth, taking nothing of the Gentiles.

⁸ We therefore ought to welcome such, that we may be fellow-workers for the truth.

⁹ I wrote somewhat unto the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the preeminence among them, receiveth us not.

¹⁰ Therefore, if I come, I will bring to remembrance his works which he doeth, prating against us with wicked words: and not content therewith, neither doth he himself receive the brethren, and them that would he forbiddeth and casteth `them' out of the church.

²⁷ Only let your manner of life be worthy of the gospel of Christ: that, whether I come and see you and be absent, I may hear of your state, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one soul striving for the faith of the gospel;

³ But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as becometh saints;

⁴⁰ And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it unto one of these my brethren, `even' these least, ye did it unto me.

³⁶ Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which by interpretation is called Dorcas: this woman was full of good works and almsdeeds which she did.

³⁹ And Peter arose and went with them. And when he was come, they brought him into the upper chamber: and all the widows stood by him weeping, and showing the coats and garments which Dorcas made, while she was with them.

⁴¹ And he gave her his hand, and raised her up; and calling the saints and widows, he presented her alive.

⁷ Wherefore receive ye one another, even as Christ also received you, to the glory of God.

³ Salute Prisca and Aquila my fellow-workers in Christ Jesus,

⁴ who for my life laid down their own necks; unto whom not only I give thanks, but also all the churches of the Gentiles:

⁶ Salute Mary, who bestowed much labor on you.

⁹ Salute Urbanus our fellow-worker in Christ, and Stachys my beloved.

²³ Gaius my host, and of the whole church, saluteth you. Erastus the treasurer of the city saluteth you, and Quartus the brother.

⁴⁰ He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.

⁴¹ He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward: and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man's reward.

⁴² And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only, in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you he shall in no wise lose his reward.
