⁸ Because of my brothers and friends, I will now say, Let peace be with you.

⁶ And say this to my brother, May all be well for you: peace be to you and your house and all you have.

³ As for the saints who are in the earth, they are the noble in whom is all my delight.

⁴ Let my soul be overflowing with grief when these things come back to my mind, how I went in company to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with the song of those who were keeping the feast.

⁶³ I keep company with all your worshippers, and those who have your orders in their memory.

⁴ There is one body and one Spirit, even as you have been marked out by God in the one hope of his purpose for you;

⁵ One Lord, one faith, one baptism,

⁶ One God and Father of all, who is over all, and through all, and in all.

² Make my joy complete by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in harmony and of one mind;

³ Doing nothing through envy or through pride, but with low thoughts of self let everyone take others to be better than himself;

⁴ Not looking everyone to his private good, but keeping in mind the things of others.

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

¹³ Who has wisdom and good sense among you? let him make his works clear by a life of gentle wisdom.

¹⁴ But if you have bitter envy in your heart and the desire to get the better of others, have no pride in this, talking falsely against what is true.

¹⁵ This wisdom is not from heaven, but is of the earth and the flesh and the Evil One.

¹⁶ For where envy is, and the desire to get the better of others, there is no order, but every sort of evil-doing.

¹⁷ But the wisdom which is from heaven is first holy, then gentle, readily giving way in argument, full of peace and mercy and good works, not doubting, not seeming other than it is.

¹⁸ And the fruit of righteousness is planted in peace for those who make peace.
