1Paul and Timothy, servants of Christ Jesus, To all the saints in Christ Jesus being in Philippi, with the overseers and deacons: 2Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 3I thank my God upon every remembrance of you, 4always making the supplication with joy in my every supplication for all of you, 5for your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, 6being persuaded of this very thing, that the One having begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Christ Jesus. 7Accordingly, it is right for me to feel this about all of you, since I have you in the heart. Both in my chains and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel, you all are fellow partakers of grace with me. 8For God is my witness how I long after you all in the affection of Christ Jesus. 9And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and all discernment, 10for you to approve the things being excellent, so that you may be pure and blameless unto the day of Christ, 11being filled with the fruit of righteousness that is through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God. 12Now I want you to know brothers, that the things concerning me really have turned out to the advancement of the gospel, 13so as for my chains in Christ to have become clearly known in all the palace guard and to all the rest; 14and most of the brothers, trusting in the Lord by my chains, to dare more abundantly to speak fearlessly the word. 15For some, even from envy and strife, are proclaiming Christ, but some also from goodwill-- 16the ones indeed out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the gospel; 17but the others are proclaiming Christ out of selfish ambition, not purely, supposing to add tribulation to my chains. 18What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretext or in truth, Christ is proclaimed. And in this I rejoice. Yes, and I will rejoice, 19for I know that through your prayer and the provision of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, this will turn out for me to deliverance, 20according to my earnest expectation and hope that I will be ashamed in nothing, but in all boldness also now as always, Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death. 21For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain. 22But if I am to live in flesh, this is the fruit of labor for me. And what shall I choose? I do not know. 23But I am pressed between the two, having the desire to depart and to be with Christ, indeed very much better, 24but to remain in the flesh is more necessary for your sake. 25And having been persuaded of this, I know that I will remain and will continue with all of you for your progress and joy of the faith, 26so that through my coming to you again your boasting in me may abound to Christ Jesus. 27Only conduct yourselves worthily of the gospel of Christ, so that, whether having come and having seen you, or being absent, I might hear the things concerning you, that you are standing firm in one spirit, striving together with one mind for the faith of the gospel, 28and not being frightened in anything by those opposing you, which is a demonstration of destruction to them, but of salvation to you--and this from God. 29For it has been granted to you concerning Christ, not only to believe in Him but also to suffer concerning Him, 30having the same conflict such as you saw in me and now hear of in me. 2Therefore if there is any encouragement in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affections and compassions, 2fulfill my joy so that you may be of the same mind, having the same love, united in soul, minding the same thing, 3nothing according to self-interest or according to vain conceit, but in humility be esteeming one another surpassing themselves, 4each considering not the things of themselves, but each also the things of others. 5Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus: 6Who, existing in the form of God, did not consider to be equal with God something to be grasped, 7but emptied Himself, having taken the form of a servant, having been made in the likeness of men. 8And having been found in appearance as a man He humbled Himself, having become obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. 9Therefore God also highly exalted Him, and granted to Him the name above every name, 10that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in the heavens and on earth and under the earth, 11and every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. 12Therefore my beloved, just as always you have obeyed, not only as in my presence, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. 13For God is the One working in you both to will and to work according to His good pleasure. 14Do all things without murmurings and disputings, 15so that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God unblemished in the midst of a crooked and perverted generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world, 16holding forth the word of life unto a boast to me in the day of Christ that I did not run in vain nor toil in vain. 17But even if I am being poured out as a drink offering on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with you all. 18And likewise you also be glad and rejoice with me. 19But I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, that I also may be encouraged, having known the things concerning you. 20For I have no one like-minded, who genuinely will care for the things relative to you. 21For those all are seeking the things of themselves, not the things of Jesus Christ. 22But you know his proven worth, that as a child with a father he has served with me in the gospel. 23Therefore indeed I hope to send him immediately, when I shall have seen the things concerning me. 24And I am persuaded in the Lord that I myself will also come soon. 25Now I esteemed it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother and fellow worker and fellow soldier, and your messenger and minister to my need, 26since he was longing after you all and being deeply distressed because you heard that he was ill. 27And indeed he was sick, nearly unto death. But God had mercy on him, and not on him alone but also on me, that I should not have sorrow upon sorrow. 28Therefore I have sent him all the more eagerly, that having seen him again, you may rejoice, and I might be less anxious. 29Therefore, receive him in the Lord with all joy, and hold such in honor, 30because for the sake of the work of Christ he came near unto death, having disregarded his life so that he might fill up your deficit of service toward me. 3Finally, my brothers, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you indeed is not troublesome to me, and is safe for you. 2Beware of the dogs! Beware of the evil workers! Beware of the false circumcision! 3For we are the circumcision, those worshiping in the Spirit of God, and glorying in Christ Jesus, and not trusting in the flesh-- 4though I have confidence even in the flesh. If any other thinks to trust in the flesh, I more: 5circumcision on the eighth day; of the nation of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin; a Hebrew of Hebrews; according to the Law, a Pharisee; 6according to zeal, persecuting the church; according to righteousness in the Law, having become faultless. 7But whatever things were gain to me, these I have esteemed loss because of Christ. 8But indeed, therefore, I also count all things to be loss because of the excelling knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, because of whom I have lost all things, and esteem them rubbish, that I may gain Christ 9and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness which is of the Law, but that which is through faith from Christ, the righteousness of God on the basis of faith, 10to know Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death, 11if, by any means, I may attain to the resurrection from out of dead. 12Not that already I have obtained it or already have been perfected, but I am pursuing, if also I may lay hold of that for which also I was laid hold of by Christ Jesus. 13Brothers, I do not consider myself to have taken hold of it. But one thing indeed: Forgetting the things behind and reaching forward to the things ahead, 14I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward calling of God in Christ Jesus. 15Therefore as many as are mature should be of this mind. And if you are minded in anything differently, even this God will reveal to you. 16Nevertheless, to that which we have attained, we are to walk by the same. 17Be imitators together of me brothers, and consider those walking thus, as you have us for a pattern. 18For many are walking--of whom I have told you often and now I say even weeping--as enemies of the cross of Christ, 19whose end is destruction, whose God is the belly and glory is in their shame, those minding earthly things. 20For our citizenship exists in the heavens, from whence also we are awaiting a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, 21who will transform our body of humiliation, conformed to the body of His glory, according to the working enabling Him even to subdue all things to Himself. 4Therefore my brothers, beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, in this way stand firm in the Lord, beloved. 2I exhort Euodia and I exhort Syntyche to be of the same mind in the Lord. 3Yes, and I ask you, true yokefellow, help these women who labored together with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the book of life. 4Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice! 5Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is near. 6Be anxious about nothing, but in everything, by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. 7And the peace of God, surpassing all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. 8Finally brothers, whatever is true, whatever is venerable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if any excellence and if any praise--think on these things. 9And what you have learned and have received and have heard and have seen in me, practice these things. And the God of peace will be with you. 10But I rejoiced greatly in the Lord that now at last you have revived the caring for me, wherein also you were concerned, but you were lacking opportunity. 11Not that I speak as to destitution, for I have learned to be content in that which I am. 12I know also how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. In everything, and in all things, I have learned the secret also to be full and to hunger, also to abound and to be deficient. 13I have strength for all things in the One strengthening me. 14But you did well, having fellowship in my affliction. 15And you Philippians also know that in the beginning of the gospel, when I came out from Macedonia, not one church had partnership with me with regard to the matter of giving and receiving, except you alone. 16For even in Thessalonica, both once and twice, you sent for my needs. 17Not that I seek after the gift, but I seek after the fruit abounding to your account. 18But I have all things, and abound. I am full, having received from Epaphroditus the things from you, an odor of a sweet smell, an acceptable sacrifice, well-pleasing to God. 19And my God will fill up all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus. 20Now to our God and Father be the glory to the ages of the ages. Amen. 21Greet every saint in Christ Jesus. The brothers with me greet you. 22All the saints greet you, and especially those of the household of Caesar. 23The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.
