¹⁹ my little children, of whom again I travail in birth, till Christ may be formed in you,

¹³ till we may all come to the unity of the faith and of the recognition of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to a measure of stature of the fulness of the Christ,

²⁹ because whom He did foreknow, He also did fore-appoint, conformed to the image of His Son, that he might be first-born among many brethren;

¹¹ And Moses saith unto Jehovah, `Why hast Thou done evil to Thy servant? and why have I not found grace in Thine eyes -- to put the burden of all this people upon me?

¹² I -- have I conceived all this people? I -- have I begotten it, that Thou sayest unto me, Carry it in thy bosom as the nursing father beareth the suckling, unto the ground which Thou hast sworn to its fathers?

¹⁴ but put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and for the flesh take no forethought -- for desires.

¹⁴ Not `as' putting you to shame do I write these things, but as my beloved children I do admonish,

¹⁵ for if a myriad of child-conductors ye may have in Christ, yet not many fathers; for in Christ Jesus, through the good news, I -- I did beget you;

²⁴ and to put on the new man, which, according to God, was created in righteousness and kindness of the truth.

¹⁷ but if also I am poured forth upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice and joy with you all,

²⁷ to whom God did will to make known what `is' the riches of the glory of this secret among the nations -- which is Christ in you, the hope of the glory,

¹⁰ and having put on the new, which is renewed in regard to knowledge, after the image of Him who did create him;

¹⁰ I entreat thee concerning my child -- whom I did beget in my bonds -- Onesimus,

¹⁸ having counselled, He did beget us with a word of truth, for our being a certain first-fruit of His creatures.

¹ And a great sign was seen in the heaven, a woman arrayed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars,

² and being with child she doth cry out, travailing and pained to bring forth.

²¹ Little children, guard yourselves from the idols! Amen.

¹² I write to you, little children, because the sins have been forgiven you through his name;

⁴⁴ and having been in agony, he was more earnestly praying, and his sweat became, as it were, great drops of blood falling upon the ground.

⁸ For God is my witness, how I long for you all in the bowels of Jesus Christ,

⁵ For, let this mind be in you that `is' also in Christ Jesus,

¹ For I wish you to know how great a conflict I have for you and those in Laodicea, and as many as have not seen my face in the flesh,

¹² Salute you doth Epaphras, who `is' of you, a servant of Christ, always striving for you in the prayers, that ye may stand perfect and made full in all the will of God,

² to Timotheus -- genuine child in faith: Grace, kindness, peace, from God our Father, and Christ Jesus our Lord,

⁴ to Titus -- true child according to a common faith: Grace, kindness, peace, from God the Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour!

¹⁹ I, Paul did write with my hand, I -- I will repay; that I may not say that also thyself, besides, to me thou dost owe.

⁷ who in the days of his flesh both prayers and supplications unto Him who was able to save him from death -- with strong crying and tears -- having offered up, and having been heard in respect to that which he feared,

¹ My little children, these things I write to you, that ye may not sin: and if any one may sin, an advocate we have with the Father, Jesus Christ, a righteous one,

¹¹ Of the labour of his soul he seeth -- he is satisfied, Through his knowledge give righteousness Doth the righteous one, My servant, to many, And their iniquities he doth bear.
