{\MT The Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Philippians

\par }\ChapOne{1}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Paul
and Timotheus, bondmen
of
Jesus
Christ,
to
all
the
saints
in
Christ
Jesus
who
are
in
Philippi,
with [the]
overseers
and ministers;
\VS{2}grace
to
you,
and
peace
from
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 1:2 }
Elohim}God
our
Father
and [the]
Lord
Jesus
Christ.
\VS{3}I
thank
my
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 1:3 }
Elohim}God
for
my
whole
remembrance
of
you,
\VS{4}constantly
in
my
every
supplication,
making
the
supplication
for
you
all
with
joy,
\VS{5}because
of
your
fellowship
with
the
gospel,
from
the
first
day
until
now;
\VS{6}having
confidence
of
this
very
thing,
that
he
who
has
begun
in
you
a
good
work
will
complete
it unto
Jesus Christ's
day:
\VS{7}as
it
is
righteous
for
me
to
think
this
as
to
you
all,
because ye
have
{\BD{
me}}
in
your
hearts,
and
that
both
in
my
bonds
and
in
the defence
and
confirmation
of
the glad tidings ye
are
all participators
in
my
grace.
\VS{8}For
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 1:8 }
Elohim}God
is
my
witness
how
I
long
after
you
all
in [the] bowels
of
Christ
Jesus.
\VS{9}And
this
I
pray,
that
your
love
may
abound
yet
more
and
more
in
full
knowledge
and
all intelligence,
\VS{10}that ye
may judge
of
and
approve
the
things
that
are
more
excellent,
in
order
that ye
may
be
pure
and
without offence
for Christ's
day,
\VS{11}being
complete
as regards
the
fruit
of
righteousness,
which [is]
by
Jesus
Christ,
to
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 1:11 }
Elohim}God's
glory
and
praise.
\VS{12}But
I
would
have
you
know,
brethren,
that
the
circumstances
in
which
I
am
have
turned out
rather
to
the furtherance
of
the glad tidings,
\VS{13}so
that
my
bonds
have
become manifest [as
being]
in
Christ
in
all
the
praetorium
and
to
all
others;
\VS{14}and
that
the
most
of
the
brethren,
trusting
in [the]
Lord
through
my
bonds,
dare
more abundantly
to
speak
the
word
of
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 1:14 }
Elohim}God
fearlessly.
\VS{15}Some
indeed
also
for
envy
and
strife,
but
some
also
for
good
will,
preach
the
Christ.
\VS{16}These
indeed
out
of
love,
knowing
that
I am
set
for
the defence
of
the glad tidings;
\VS{17}but
those
out
of contention, announce
the
Christ,
not purely, supposing
to arouse
tribulation
for my
bonds.
\VS{18}What
is
it
then?
at
any rate,
in
every
way,
whether
in
pretext
or
in
truth,
Christ
is
announced;
and
in
this
I
rejoice, yea,
also
I
will
rejoice;
\VS{19}for
I
know
that
this
shall
turn out
for
me
to
salvation,
through
your
supplication
and [the] supply
of
the
Spirit
of
Jesus
Christ;
\VS{20}according
to
my
earnest
expectation
and
hope,
that
in
nothing
I
shall
be
ashamed,
but
in
all
boldness,
as
always,
now
also
Christ
shall
be
magnified
in
my
body
whether
by
life
or
by
death.
\VS{21}For
for
me
to
live [is]
Christ,
and
to
die
gain;
\VS{22}but
if
to
live
in
flesh [is
my lot],
this
is
for
me worth
the
while:
and
what
I
shall
choose
I
cannot
tell.
\VS{23}But
I
am pressed
by
both,
having
the
desire
for departure
and
being
with
Christ, [for] [it
is]
very
much
better,
\VS{24}but remaining
in
the
flesh [is]
more
necessary
for
your
sakes;
\VS{25}and
having
confidence
of
this,
I
know
that
I
shall
remain
and
abide
along
with
you
all,
for
your
progress
and
joy
in
faith;
\VS{26}that
your
boasting
may
abound
in
Christ
Jesus
through
me
by
my
presence
again
with
you.
\VS{27}Only
conduct
yourselves
worthily
of
the glad tidings
of
the
Christ,
in
order
that
whether
coming
and
seeing
you,
or
absent,
I
may
hear
of
what concerns
you,
that ye
stand
firm
in
one
spirit,
with
one
soul, labouring
together
in
the
same conflict
with
the
faith
of
the glad tidings;
\VS{28}and
not frightened
in
anything
by
the opposers,
which
is
to
them
a
demonstration
of
destruction,
but
of
your
salvation,
and
that
from
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 1:28 }
Elohim}God;
\VS{29}because
to
you
has
been
given,
as regards
Christ,
not
only
the
believing
on
him
but
the
suffering
for
him
also,
\VS{30}having
the
same
conflict
which ye
have
seen
in
me,
and
now
hear
of
in
me.

\par }\Chap{2}{\PP \VerseOne{1}If
then [there
be]
any
comfort
in
Christ,
if
any
consolation
of
love,
if
any
fellowship
of [the]
Spirit,
if
any bowels
and compassions,
\VS{2}fulfil
my
joy,
that ye
may
think
the
same
thing,
having
the
same
love, joined
in soul, thinking
one
thing;
\VS{3}[let]
nothing [be]
in
the spirit
of strife
or vain glory,
but,
in lowliness
of
mind,
each esteeming
the
other
as
more excellent
than
themselves;
\VS{4}regarding
not
each
his
own [qualities],
but
each
those
of
others
also.
\VS{5}For let
this
mind
be
in
you
which [was]
also
in
Christ
Jesus;
\VS{6}who, subsisting
in
the
form
of
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 2:6 }
Elohim}God,
did
not
esteem
it
an object
of rapine
to
be
on
an
equality
with
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 2:6 }
Elohim}God;
\VS{7}but
emptied
himself,
taking
a bondman's
form,
taking
his
place
in [the]
likeness
of
men;
\VS{8}and having
been
found
in figure
as
a man,
humbled
himself,
becoming
obedient
even unto
death,
and [that
the]
death
of [the]
cross.
\VS{9}Wherefore
also
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 2:9 }
Elohim}God
highly
exalted
him,
and
granted
him
a
name,
that
which
is
above
every
name,
\VS{10}that
at
the
name
of
Jesus
every
knee
should
bow,
of
heavenly
and
earthly
and infernal [beings],
\VS{11}and
every
tongue
confess
that
Jesus
Christ [is]
Lord
to
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 2:11 }
Elohim}God [the] Father's
glory.
\VS{12}So
that,
my
beloved,
even
as ye
have
always
obeyed,
not
as
in
my
presence
only,
but
now
much
rather
in
my
absence,
work
out
your
own
salvation
with
fear
and
trembling,
\VS{13}for
it
is
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 2:13 }
Elohim}God
who
works
in
you
both
the
willing
and
the
working according
to [his]
good
pleasure.
\VS{14}Do
all
things
without murmurings
and
reasonings,
\VS{15}that ye
may
be harmless
and simple, irreproachable
children
of
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 2:15 }
Elohim}God
in
the
midst
of
a
crooked
and
perverted
generation;
among
whom ye
appear
as
lights
in [the]
world,
\VS{16}holding forth [the]
word
of
life,
so
as
to
be
a
boast
for
me
in Christ's
day,
that
I
have
not
run
in
vain
nor laboured
in
vain.
\VS{17}But
if
also
I
am
poured out
as
a libation
on
the
sacrifice
and ministration
of
your
faith,
I
rejoice,
and
rejoice
in common
with
you
all.
\VS{18}In
like manner
do
{\BD{ye}}
also
rejoice,
and
rejoice
with
me.
\VS{19}But
I
hope
in [the]
Lord
Jesus
to
send Timotheus
to
you
shortly,
that
{\BD{
I}}
also
may
be refreshed,
knowing
how ye get
on.
\VS{20}For
I
have
no
one like-minded
who
will
care
with genuine feeling
how ye
get
on.
\VS{21}For
all
seek
their
own
things,
not
the
things
of
Jesus
Christ.
\VS{22}But ye
know
the
proof
of
him,
that,
as
a
child
a
father,
he
has
served
with
me
in
the work
of
the glad tidings.
\VS{23}Him
therefore
I
hope
to
send
immediately,
as soon
as
I
shall
see
how
it goes
with
me:
\VS{24}but
I
trust
in [the]
Lord
that
I
myself
also
shall
soon
come;
\VS{25}but
I
have
thought
it
necessary
to
send
to
you
Epaphroditus,
my
brother
and fellow-workman
and fellow-soldier,
but
your
messenger
and
minister
to
my
need,
\VS{26}since
he
had
a
longing desire
after
you
all,
and
was
distressed
because ye
had
heard
that
he
was
sick;
\VS{27}for
he
was
also
sick close
to
death,
but
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 2:27 }
Elohim}God
had
mercy
on
him,
and
not
indeed
on
him
alone,
but
also
on
me,
that
I
might
not
have
sorrow
upon
sorrow.
\VS{28}I
have
sent
him
therefore
the
more
diligently,
that
seeing
him ye might
again
rejoice,
and
that
{\BD{
I}} might
be
the
less sorrowful.
\VS{29}Receive
him
therefore
in [the]
Lord
with
all
joy,
and
hold
such
in honour;
\VS{30}because
for
the
sake
of
the
work
he drew
near
even
to
death, venturing
his
life
that
he
might
fill up
what lacked
in
your ministration
toward
me.

\par }\Chap{3}{\PP \VerseOne{1}For
the rest,
my
brethren,
rejoice
in [the]
Lord:
to
write
the
same
things
to
you,
to
me [is]
not irksome,
and
for
you
safe.
\VS{2}See
to
dogs,
see
to
evil
workmen,
see
to
the concision.
\VS{3}For
{\BD{
we}}
are
the
circumcision,
who
worship
by [the]
Spirit
of
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 3:3 }
Elohim}God,
and
boast
in
Christ
Jesus,
and
do
not
trust
in
flesh.
\VS{4}Though
{\BD{
I}}
have [my]
trust
even
in
flesh;
if
any
other
think
to
trust
in
flesh,
{\BD{
I}}
rather:
\VS{5}as
to
circumcision, [I received
it]
the
eighth
day;
of [the]
race
of
Israel,
of [the]
tribe
of
Benjamin,
Hebrew
of
Hebrews;
as
to [the]
law, a
Pharisee;
\VS{6}as
to
zeal,
persecuting
the
assembly;
as
to
righteousness
which [is]
in [the]
law,
found
blameless;
\VS{7}but
what
things
were
gain
to
me
these
I
counted,
on
account
of
Christ,
loss.
\VS{8}But surely
I
count
also
all
things
to
be
loss
on
account
of
the excellency
of
the
knowledge
of
Christ
Jesus
my
Lord,
on
account
of
whom
I
have
suffered
the
loss
of
all,
and
count
them
to
be filth,
that
I
may
gain
Christ;
\VS{9}and
that
I
may
be
found
in
him,
not
having
my
righteousness,
which [would
be]
on
the
principle
of
law,
but
that
which
is
by
faith
of
Christ,
the
righteousness
which [is]
of
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 3:9 }
Elohim}God
through
faith,
\VS{10}to
know
him,
and
the
power
of
his
resurrection,
and
the
fellowship
of
his
sufferings, being conformed
to
his
death,
\VS{11}if any
way
I arrive
at
the
resurrection
from
among [the]
dead.
\VS{12}Not
that
I
have
already
obtained [the prize],
or
am
already
perfected;
but
I
pursue,
if
also
I
may get possession [of
it], seeing
that
also
I
have
been
taken possession
of
by
Christ [Jesus].
\VS{13}Brethren,
{\BD{
I}}
do
not
count
to
have got possession
myself;
but
one
thing —
forgetting
the things
behind,
and stretching out
to
the things
before,
\VS{14}I
pursue, [looking] towards [the]
goal,
for
the
prize
of
the
calling
on high
of
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 3:14 }
Elohim}God
in
Christ
Jesus.
\VS{15}As
many
therefore
as [are]
perfect,
let us
be
thus minded;
and
if ye
are
any
otherwise minded,
this
also
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 3:15 }
Elohim}God
shall
reveal
to
you.
\VS{16}But whereto
we
have
attained, [let
us]
walk
in
the
same steps.
\VS{17}Be
imitators [all]
together
of
me,
brethren,
and fix
your eyes
on
those
walking
thus
as
you
have us
for
a model;
\VS{18}(for
many
walk
of
whom
I
have
told
you
often,
and
now
tell
you
even
weeping,
that
they [are]
the
enemies
of
the
cross
of
Christ:
\VS{19}whose
end [is]
destruction,
whose
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 3:19 }
Elohim}god [is]
the
belly,
and [their]
glory
in
their
shame,
who
mind
earthly
things:)
\VS{20}for
{\BD{
our}} commonwealth
has
its existence
in [the]
heavens,
from
which
also
we
await
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ [as] Saviour,
\VS{21}who
shall
transform
our
body
of
humiliation
into conformity
to
his
body
of
glory,
according
to
the
working
of [the]
power
which
he
has
even
to subdue
all
things
to
himself.

\par }\Chap{4}{\PP \VerseOne{1}So
that,
my
brethren,
beloved
and longed
for,
my
joy
and
crown,
thus
stand fast
in [the]
Lord,
beloved.
\VS{2}I
exhort
Euodia,
and
exhort
Syntyche,
to
be
of
the
same
mind
in [the]
Lord;
\VS{3}yea,
I
ask thee
also,
true yokefellow, assist
them,
who
have contended
along
with
me
in
the glad tidings,
with
Clement
also,
and
my
other fellow-labourers,
whose
names [are]
in [the]
book
of
life.
\VS{4}Rejoice
in [the]
Lord
always:
again
I
will
say,
Rejoice.
\VS{5}Let
your
gentleness
be
known
of
all
men.
The
Lord [is]
near.
\VS{6}Be careful
about
nothing;
but
in
everything,
by
prayer
and
supplication
with
thanksgiving, let
your
requests
be
made
known
to
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 4:6 }
Elohim}God;
\VS{7}and
the
peace
of
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 4:7 }
Elohim}God,
which
surpasses
every
understanding,
shall
guard
your
hearts
and
your thoughts
by
Christ
Jesus.
\VS{8}For
the
rest,
brethren, whatsoever
things [are]
true, whatsoever
things [are] noble, whatsoever
things [are]
just, whatsoever
things [are]
pure, whatsoever
things [are] amiable, whatsoever
things [are]
of
good report;
if [there
be]
any virtue
and
if
any
praise,
think
on
these
things.
\VS{9}What ye
have
both
learned,
and
received,
and
heard,
and
seen
in
me,
these
things
do;
and
the
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 4:9 }
Elohim}God
of
peace
shall
be
with
you.
\VS{10}But
I
rejoiced
in [the]
Lord
greatly,
that
now
however
at length ye
have
revived
your thinking
of
me,
though surely ye did
also
think [of
me],
but
lacked
opportunity.
\VS{11}Not
that
I
speak
as regards privation,
for
as
to
me
{\BD{
I}}
have learnt
in
those
circumstances
in
which
I
am,
to
be satisfied
in
myself.
\VS{12}I
know
both how
to
be abased
and
I
know how
to
abound.
In
everything
and
in
all
things
I
am initiated
both
to
be
full
and
to
be
hungry,
both
to
abound
and
to suffer privation.
\VS{13}I
have
strength
for
all
things
in
him
that gives
me power.
\VS{14}But ye
have
done
well
in taking
part
in
my
affliction.
\VS{15}And
know
also
{\BD{ye}}, O
Philippians,
that
in [the]
beginning
of
the
gospel,
when
I
came
out
of
Macedonia,
no
assembly communicated [anything]
to
me
in [the]
way
of
giving
and
receiving save
{\BD{ye}}
alone;
\VS{16}for
also
in
Thessalonica
once
and
even
twice ye
sent
to
me
for
my
need.
\VS{17}Not
that
I
seek
gift,
but
I
seek
fruit abounding
to
your
account.
\VS{18}But
I
have
all
things
in
full
supply
and
abound;
I
am
full,
having
received
of
Epaphroditus
the
things [sent]
from
you,
an odour
of
sweet savour,
an
acceptable
sacrifice, agreeable
to
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 4:18 }
Elohim}God.
\VS{19}But
my
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 4:19 }
Elohim}God
shall abundantly
supply
all
your
need
according
to
his
riches
in
glory
in
Christ
Jesus.
\VS{20}But
to
our
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 4:20 }
Elohim}God
and
Father [be]
glory
to
the
ages
of
ages.
Amen.
\VS{21}Salute
every
saint
in
Christ
Jesus.
The
brethren
who [are]
with
me salute
you.
\VS{22}All
the
saints salute
you,
and specially
those
of
the
household
of
Caesar.
\VS{23}The
grace
of
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ [be]
with
your
spirit. Amen.
