everything else is worthless when compared 
with the infinite value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord.

for I have no one like-minded, 
     who sincerely for the things concerning you will care,

because of this do ye also rejoice and joy with me.

for the whole seek their own things, 
not the things of the Christ Jesus,

the word of life holding forth, 

for rejoicing to me in regard to a day of Christ, 

that not in vain did I run, 

nor in vain did I labour;

that ye may become blameless and harmless, 
  children of God, 
    unblemished in the midst of a generation crooked and perverse,      
       among whom ye do appear as luminaries in the world,

All things do without murmurings and reasonings,

with fear and trembling your own salvation work out,

for God it is who is working in you 

both to will and to work for His good pleasure.

and every tongue may confess that Jesus Christ [is] Lord, 
       to the glory of God the Father.

that in the name of Jesus every knee may bow, 

of heavenlies, and earthlies, 

and what are under the earth,

 wherefore, also, 

God did highly exalt him, 

and gave to him a name that [is] above every name,

I count all things to be loss, 
     because of the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, 
          because of whom of the all things I suffered loss, 
               and do count them to be refuse, 
                    that Christ I may gain, 
                         and be found in him,

for we are the circumcision, 

who by the Spirit are serving God, 

and glorying in Christ Jesus, 

and in flesh having no trust,

 but if also I am poured forth upon the sacrifice 

and service of your faith, 

I rejoice and joy with you all, 

because of this do ye also rejoice and joy with me.

the word of life holding forth, 

     for rejoicing to me in regard to a day of Christ, 

          that not in vain did I run, 

               nor in vain did I labour;

that ye may become blameless and harmless, 
children of God, 
unblemished in the midst of a generation crooked and perverse, 
among whom ye do appear as luminaries in the world,

All things do without murmurings and reasonings,

for God it is who is working in you 
      both to will and to work for His good pleasure.

So that, my beloved, as ye always obey, 
not as in my presence only, 
but now much more in my absence, 
with fear and trembling your own salvation work out,

that in the name of Jesus every knee may bow, 

of heavenlies, and earthlies, 

and what are under the earth,

and every tongue may confess that Jesus Christ [is] Lord, 

to the glory of God the Father.

wherefore, also,
     God did highly exalt him,
          and gave to him a name that [is] above every name,

and in fashion having been found as a man,
he humbled himself,
having become obedient unto death,
death even of a cross,

but did empty himself,

the form of a servant having taken,

in the likeness of men having been made,

 who,
     being in the form of God,
          thought [it] not robbery to be equal to God,

 For, let this mind be in you that [is] also in Christ Jesus,

each not to your own look ye,

but each also to the things of others.

nothing in rivalry or vain-glory,
but in humility of mind one another
counting more excellent than yourselves

fulfill ye my joy, that ye may mind the same thing,
     having the same love, of one soul, minding the one thing,

If, then, any exhortation [is] in Christ,

if any comfort of love,

if any fellowship of spirit,

if any bowels and mercies,

 the same conflict having,
such as ye saw in me,
and now hear of in me.

Happy New Year 2014
