{\MT Paul’s Letter to the Philippians

\par }\ChapOne{1}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Paul
and
Timothy,
the
servants
of
Jesus
Christ;
to
all
the
saints
in
Christ
Jesus,
who
are
at
Philippi,
with
the bishops
and
deacons.
\VS{2}Grace
be unto
you,
and
peace
from
God
our
Father,
and
from
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ.
\VS{3}I
give
thanks
to
my
God
in
every
remembrance
of
you,
\VS{4}Always
in
all
my
prayers
making
supplication
for
you
all,
with
joy;
\VS{5}For
your communication
in
the
gospel
of Christ
from
the
first
day
until
now.
\VS{6}Being
confident
of
this
very
thing,
that
he,
who hath
begun
a
good
work
in
you,
will
perfect
it unto
the
day
of
Christ
Jesus.
\VS{7}As
it
is meet
for
me
to
think
this
for
you
all,
for
that
I
have
you
in
my
heart;
and
that
in
my bands,
and
in
the defence
and
confirmation
of
the
gospel,
you
all
are
partakers
of
my
joy.
\VS{8}For
God
is
my
witness,
how
I
long
after
you
all
in
the bowels
of
Jesus
Christ.
\VS{9}And
this
I
pray,
that
your charity
may
more
and
more
abound
in
knowledge,
and
in
all understanding:
\VS{10}That
you
may
approve
the better
things,
that
you
may
be
sincere
and
without offence unto
the
day
of
Christ,
\VS{11}Filled
with
the
fruit
of
justice,
through
Jesus
Christ, unto
the
glory
and
praise
of
God.
\VS{12}Now,
brethren,
I
desire
you
should
know,
that
the
things
which
have
happened
to
me,
have fallen out
rather
to
the furtherance
of
the
gospel:
\VS{13}So
that
my bands
are
made manifest
in
Christ,
in
all
the court,
and
in
all
other places;
\VS{14}And
many
of
the
brethren
in
the
Lord,
growing
confident
by
my bands,
are
much
more
bold
to
speak
the
word
of
God
without
fear.
\VS{15}Some
indeed,
even out
of
envy
and contention;
but
some
also
for
good
will
preach
Christ.
\VS{16}Some
out
of charity,
knowing
that
I am
set
for
the defence
of
the
gospel.
\VS{17}And
some
out
of contention preach
Christ
not
sincerely: supposing
that
they
raise
affliction
to my bands.
\VS{18}But
what
then?
So
that
by
all
means,
whether
by occasion,
or
by
truth,
Christ
be preached:
in
this
also
I
rejoice, yea,
and
will
rejoice.
\VS{19}For
I
know
that
this
shall fall out
to
me unto
salvation,
through
your
prayer,
and
the supply
of
the
Spirit
of
Jesus
Christ,
\VS{20}According
to
my
expectation
and
hope;
that
in
nothing
I
shall
be confounded,
but
with
all
confidence,
as
always,
so
now
also
shall
Christ
be
magnified
in
my
body, wither
it
be
by
life,
or
by
death.
\VS{21}For
to
me,
to
live
is
Christ;
and
to
die
is
gain.
\VS{22}And
if
to
live
in
the
flesh,
this
is
to
me
the
fruit
of labour,
and
what
I
shall
choose
I
know
not.
\VS{23}But
I
am straitened
between
two:
having
a
desire
to
be dissolved
and
to
be
with
Christ,
a thing
by
far
the
better.
\VS{24}But
to abide still
in
the
flesh,
is needful
for
you.
\VS{25}And
having
this
confidence,
I
know
that
I
shall
abide,
and
continue
with
you
all,
for
your furtherance
and
joy
of
faith:
\VS{26}That
your rejoicing
may
abound
in
Christ
Jesus
for
me,
by
my
coming
to
you
again.
\VS{27}Only
let
your conversation
be
worthy
of
the
gospel
of
Christ:
that,
whether
I
come
and
see
you,
or,
being
absent,
may
hear
of
you,
that
you
stand fast
in
one
spirit,
with
one
mind labouring
together
for
the
faith
of
the
gospel.
\VS{28}And
in
nothing
be ye terrified
by
the
adversaries:
which
to
them
is
a cause
of
perdition,
but
to
you
of
salvation,
and
this
from
God:
\VS{29}For unto
you
it
is
given
for
Christ,
not
only
to
believe
in
him,
but
also
to
suffer
for
him.
\VS{30}Having
the
same
conflict
as
that
which
you
have
seen
in
me,
and
now
have
heard
of
me.

\par }\Chap{2}{\PP \VerseOne{1}If
there
be
therefore
any
consolation
in
Christ,
if
any
comfort
of charity,
if
any society
of
the
spirit,
if
any bowels
of commiseration:
\VS{2}Fulfill ye
my
joy,
that
you
may
be
of
one
mind,
having
the
same charity,
being
of
one accord, agreeing
in sentiment.
\VS{3}Let
nothing
be done
through contention,
neither
by vain glory:
but
in
humility, let
each
esteem
others better
than
themselves:
\VS{4}Each
one
not considering
the
things
that
are
his
own,
but
those
that
are
other men’s.
\VS{5}For let
this
mind
be
in
you,
which
was
also
in
Christ
Jesus:
\VS{6}Who
being
in
the
form
of
God,
thought
it
not robbery
to
be
equal
with
God:
\VS{7}But
emptied
himself,
taking
the
form
of
a
servant,
being
made
in
the
likeness
of
men,
and
in habit
found
as
a
man.
\VS{8}He
humbled
himself,
becoming
obedient unto
death,
even
to
the
death
of
the
cross.
\VS{9}For
which cause
God
also hath
exalted
him,
and hath
given
him
a
name
which
is
above
all
names:
\VS{10}That
in
the
name
of
Jesus
every
knee
should
bow,
of
those
that
are
in
heaven,
on
earth,
and
under
the
earth:
\VS{11}And
that
every
tongue
should
confess
that
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ
is
in
the
glory
of
God
the
Father.
\VS{12}Wherefore,
my dearly
beloved, (as
you
have
always
obeyed,
not
as
in
my
presence
only,
but
much
more
now
in
my
absence,)
with
fear
and
trembling
work
out
your
salvation.
\VS{13}For
it
is
God
who worketh
in
you,
both
to
will
and
to
accomplish, according
to
his
good
will.
\VS{14}And
do ye
all
things
without murmurings
and hesitations;
\VS{15}That
you
may
be
blameless,
and sincere
children
of
God,
without reproof,
in
the
midst
of
a
crooked
and
perverse
generation;
among
whom
you
shine
as
lights
in
the
world.
\VS{16}Holding forth
the
word
of
life
to
my
glory
in
the
day
of
Christ,
because
I
have
not
run
in
vain,
nor laboured
in
vain.
\VS{17}Yea,
and
if
I
be made
a victim
upon
the
sacrifice
and
service
of
your
faith,
I
rejoice,
and congratulate
with
you
all.
\VS{18}And
for
the selfsame
thing
do
you
also
rejoice,
and congratulate
with
me.
\VS{19}And
I
hope
in
the
Lord
Jesus
to
send
Timothy unto
you
shortly,
that
I
also
may
be
of good comfort,
when
I
know
the
things
concerning
you.
\VS{20}For
I
have
no
man
so
of
the same mind,
who
with sincere affection
is solicitous
for
you.
\VS{21}For
all
seek
the
things
that
are
their
own;
not
the
things
that
are
Jesus
Christ’s.
\VS{22}Now
know ye
the
proof
of
him,
that
as
a
son
with
the
father,
so hath
he
served
with
me
in
the
gospel.
\VS{23}Him
therefore
I
hope
to
send unto
you
immediately,
so soon
as
I
shall
see
how
it
will go
with
me.
\VS{24}And
I
trust
in
the
Lord,
that
I
myself
also
shall
come
to
you
shortly.
\VS{25}But
I
have
thought
it
necessary
to
send
to
you
Epaphroditus,
my
brother
and
fellow labourer,
and
fellow
soldier,
but
your
apostle,
and
he
that hath ministered
to
my wants.
\VS{26}For
indeed
he longed
after
you
all:
and
was sad,
for
that
you
had
heard
that
he
was
sick.
\VS{27}For
indeed
he
was
sick, nigh unto
death;
but
God
had
mercy
on
him;
and
not
only
on
him,
but
on
me
also,
lest
I
should
have
sorrow
upon
sorrow.
\VS{28}Therefore
I
sent
him
the
more speedily:
that
seeing
him
again,
you
may
rejoice,
and
I
may
be without sorrow.
\VS{29}Receive
him
therefore
with
all
joy
in
the
Lord;
and treat
with honour
such
as
he
is.
\VS{30}Because
for
the
work
of
Christ
he
came
to
the
point
of
death: delivering
his
life,
that
he
might
fulfill
that
which
on
your
part
was wanting towards
my
service.

\par }\Chap{3}{\PP \VerseOne{1}As
to
the rest,
my
brethren,
rejoice
in
the
Lord.
To
write
the
same
things
to
you,
to
me
indeed
is
not wearisome,
but
to
you
it
is necessary.
\VS{2}Beware
of
dogs,
beware
of
evil
workers,
beware
of
the concision.
\VS{3}For
we
are
the
circumcision,
who
in
spirit
serve
God;
and
glory
in
Christ
Jesus,
not
having
confidence
in
the
flesh.
\VS{4}Though
I
might
also
have
confidence
in
the
flesh.
If
any
other thinketh
he
may
have
confidence
in
the
flesh,
I
more,
\VS{5}Being
circumcised
the
eighth
day,
of
the stock
of
Israel,
of
the
tribe
of
Benjamin,
an
Hebrew
of
the
Hebrews;
according
to
the
law, a
Pharisee:
\VS{6}According
to
zeal,
persecuting
the
church
of God;
according
to
the
justice
that
is
in
the
law, conversing
without
blame.
\VS{7}But
the
things
that
were
gain
to
me,
the
same
I
have
counted
loss
for
Christ.
\VS{8}Furthermore
I
count
all
things
to
be
but
loss
for
the excellent
knowledge
of
Jesus
Christ
my
Lord;
for
whom
I
have
suffered
the
loss
of
all
things,
and
count
them
but
as dung,
that
I
may
gain
Christ:
\VS{9}And
may
be
found
in
him,
not
having
my
justice,
which
is
of
the
law,
but
that
which
is
of
the
faith
of
Christ
Jesus,
which
is
of
God,
justice
in
faith:
\VS{10}That
I
may
know
him,
and
the
power
of
his
resurrection,
and
the
fellowship
of
his
sufferings, being made conformable
to
his
death,
\VS{11}If
by any
means
I
may
attain
to
the
resurrection
which
is
from
the
dead.
\VS{12}Not
as
though
I
has
already
attained,
or
were
already
perfect;
but
I follow
after,
if
I
may
by
any means apprehend, wherein
I
am
also apprehended
by
Christ
Jesus.
\VS{13}Brethren,
I
do
not
count
myself
to
have apprehended.
But
one
thing
I
do:
forgetting
the things
that
are
behind,
and stretching forth
myself
to
those
that
are
before,
\VS{14}I
press towards
the mark,
to
the
prize
of
the supernal vocation
of
God
in
Christ
Jesus.
\VS{15}Let us
therefore,
as
many
as
are
perfect,
be
thus minded;
and
if
in
any
thing
you
be
otherwise minded,
this
also
God
will
reveal
to
you.
\VS{16}Nevertheless whereunto
we
are
come,
that
we be
of
the
same mind, let
us
also continue
in
the
same rule.
\VS{17}Be ye followers
of
me,
brethren,
and
observe them
who
walk
so
as
you
have
our model.
\VS{18}For
many
walk,
of
whom
I
have
told
you
often (and
now
tell
you
weeping),
that
they
are
enemies
of
the
cross
of
Christ;
\VS{19}Whose
end
is
destruction;
whose
God
is
their
belly;
and
whose
glory
is
in
their
shame;
who
mind
earthly
things.
\VS{20}But
our conversation
is
in
heaven;
from whence
also
we look
for
the Saviour,
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ,
\VS{21}Who
will reform
the
body
of
our lowness, made
like
to
the
body
of
his
glory,
according
to
the operation whereby
also
he
is
able
to subdue
all
things unto
himself.

\par }\Chap{4}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Therefore,
my dearly
beloved
brethren,
and most desired,
my
joy
and
my
crown;
so
stand fast
in
the
Lord,
my dearly
beloved.
\VS{2}I
beg
of Evodia,
and
I beseech
Syntyche,
to
be
of
one
mind
in
the
Lord.
\VS{3}And
I entreat thee
also,
my sincere
companion,
help
those
women
who
have laboured
with
me
in
the
gospel,
with
Clement
and
the
rest
of
my
fellow labourers,
whose
names
are
in
the
book
of
life.
\VS{4}Rejoice
in
the
Lord
always;
again,
I
say,
rejoice.
\VS{5}Let
your modesty
be
known
to
all
men.
The
Lord
is nigh.
\VS{6}Be
nothing solicitous;
but
in
every thing,
by
prayer
and
supplication,
with
thanksgiving, let
your petitions
be
made
known
to
God.
\VS{7}And
the
peace
of
God,
which surpasseth
all
understanding, keep
your
hearts
and
minds
in
Christ
Jesus.
\VS{8}For
the
rest,
brethren, whatsoever
things
are
true, whatsoever modest, whatsoever
just, whatsoever holy, whatsoever
lovely, whatsoever
of
good
fame,
if
there
be
any virtue,
if
any
praise
of discipline,
think
on
these
things.
\VS{9}The
things
which
you
have
both
learned,
and
received,
and
heard,
and
seen
in
me,
these
do ye,
and
the
God
of
peace
shall
be
with
you.
\VS{10}Now
I
rejoice
in
the
Lord exceedingly,
that
now
at length
your thought
for
me hath flourished
again,
as
you did
also
think;
but
you
were busied.
\VS{11}I
speak
not
as
it
were
for
want.
For
I
have
learned,
in whatsoever state
I
am,
to
be
content therewith.
\VS{12}I
know
both how
to
be
brought
low,
and
I
know how
to
abound: (everywhere,
and
in
all
things
I
am instructed)
both
to
be
full,
and
to
be
hungry;
both
to
abound,
and
to suffer
need.
\VS{13}I
can
do
all
these
things
in
him
who strengtheneth
me.
\VS{14}Nevertheless
you
have
done
well
in communicating
to
my
tribulation.
\VS{15}And
you
also
know, O
Philippians,
that
in
the
beginning
of
the
gospel,
when
I
departed
from
Macedonia,
no
church communicated
with
me
as concerning
giving
and
receiving,
but
you
only:
\VS{16}For unto
Thessalonica
also
you
sent
once
and
again
for
my use.
\VS{17}Not
that
I
seek
the
gift,
but
I
seek
the
fruit
that may abound
to
your
account.
\VS{18}But
I
have
all,
and
abound:
I
am
filled,
having
received
from
Epaphroditus
the
things
you
sent,
an odour
of sweetness,
an
acceptable
sacrifice,
pleasing
to
God.
\VS{19}And
may
my
God
supply
all
your want,
according
to
his
riches
in
glory
in
Christ
Jesus.
\VS{20}Now
to
God
and
our
Father
be
glory
world
without
end.
Amen.
\VS{21}Salute ye
every
saint
in
Christ
Jesus.
\VS{22}The brethren
who
are
with me, salute
you.
All
the
saints salute
you;
especially
they
that
are
of
Caesar’s
household.
\VS{23}The
grace
of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ
be
with
your
spirit. Amen.
