Philippians 3:12

The LORD will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O LORD, endureth for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands.

Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth.

Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek the LORD: look unto the rock whence ye are hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence ye are digged.

Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:

Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:

Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing.

For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body.

For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.

But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.

The righteous also shall hold on his way, and he that hath clean hands shall be stronger and stronger.

But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.

My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.

But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.

For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:

For we are glad, when we are weak, and ye are strong: and this also we wish, even your perfection.

My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the LORD: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God.

O that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes!

But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:
