Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech {you} by us: we pray {you} in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.

I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, {of the Lord: or, in the Lord}

I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, {which is} your reasonable service.

For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles,

Paul, a prisoner of Jesus Christ, and Timothy {our} brother, unto Philemon our dearly beloved, and fellowlabourer,

Now also when I am old and grayheaded, O God, forsake me not; until I have shewed thy strength unto {this} generation, {and} thy power to every one {that} is to come. {when...: Heb. unto old age and gray hairs} {thy strength: Heb. thine arm}

We then, {as} workers together {with him}, beseech {you} also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain.

And {even} to {your} old age I {am} he; and {even} to hoar hairs will I carry {you}: I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver {you}.

Dearly beloved, I beseech {you} as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;

Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength faileth.

But I beseech {you} the rather to do this, that I may be restored to you the sooner.

The hoary head {is} a crown of glory, {if} it be found in the way of righteousness.

Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and {that} there be no divisions among you; but {that} ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment. {divisions: Gr. schisms}

I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, {of the Lord: or, in the Lord}

For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles,

Paul, a prisoner of Jesus Christ, and Timothy {our} brother, unto Philemon our dearly beloved, and fellowlabourer,

The hoary head {is} a crown of glory, {if} it be found in the way of righteousness.

The father of the righteous shall greatly rejoice: and he that begetteth a wise {child} shall have joy of him.

So he took him, and brought {him} to the chief captain, and said, Paul the prisoner called me unto {him}, and prayed me to bring this young man unto thee, who hath something to say unto thee.

Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as a fool) I {am} more; in labours more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequent, in deaths oft.

The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed:

And David said, Is there yet any that is left of the house of Saul, that I may shew him kindness for Jonathan's sake?

And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast {them} into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely:

There went with us also {certain} of the disciples of Caesarea, and brought with them one Mnason of Cyprus, an old disciple, with whom we should lodge.

Now I Paul myself beseech you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ, who in presence {am} base among you, but being absent am bold toward you: {in presence: or, in outward appearance}

Rebuke not an elder, but intreat {him} as a father; {and} the younger men as brethren;

Dearly beloved, I beseech {you} as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;

And it shall be, when their fathers or their brethren come unto us to complain, that we will say unto them, Be favourable unto them for our sakes: because we reserved not to each man his wife in the war: for ye did not give unto them at this time, {that} ye should be guilty. {Be favourable...: or, Gratify us in them}

Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort {you} by the Lord Jesus, that as ye have received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, {so} ye would abound more and more. {beseech: or, request} {exhort: or, beseech}

The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them.

Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.

Wherefore we would have come unto you, even I Paul, once and again; but Satan hindered us.
