{{verse|1|1}} Paul and Timothy, servants of Christ Jesus, to all the

saints in Christ Jesus that are at Philippi, with the bishops

 

{{verse|1|2}} Grace to you and peace from God our Father

 

{{verse|1|3}} I thank my God upon all my

 

{{verse|1|4}} always in every supplication of mine

 

{{verse|1|5}} for

your fellowship in furtherance of the gospel from the first day

 

{{verse|1|6}} being confident of this very thing, that he who

began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Jesus

 

{{verse|1|7}} even as it is right for me to be thus minded on

behalf of you all, because I have you in my heart, inasmuch as,

both in my bonds and in the defence and confirmation of the

 

{{verse|1|8}} For God is

my witness, how I long after you all in the tender mercies of

 

{{verse|1|9}} And this I pray, that your love may abound

 

{{verse|1|10}} so

that ye may approve the things that are excellent; that ye may

 

{{verse|1|11}} being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are through

 

{{verse|1|12}} Now I

 

{{verse|1|13}} so that my bonds became manifest in Christ throughout the

 

{{verse|1|14}} and that

most of the brethren in the Lord, being confident through my

bonds, are more abundantly bold to speak the word of God without

 

{{verse|1|15}} Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife;

 

{{verse|1|16}} the one [do it] of love,

 

{{verse|1|17}} but

the other proclaim Christ of faction, not sincerely, thinking to

 

{{verse|1|18}} What then? only

that in every way, whether in pretence or in truth, Christ is

 

{{verse|1|19}} For I know that this shall turn out to my salvation, through

nothing shall I be put to shame, but [that] with all boldness,

as always, [so] now also Christ shall be magnified in my body,

 

{{verse|1|21}} For to me to live is

 

{{verse|1|22}} But if to live in the flesh,

--[if] this shall bring fruit from my work, then what I shall

 

{{verse|1|23}} But I am in a strait betwixt the two,

having the desire to depart and be with Christ; for it is very

 

{{verse|1|24}} yet to abide in the flesh is more needful for

 

{{verse|1|25}} And having this confidence, I know that I

shall abide, yea, and abide with you all, for your progress and

 

{{verse|1|26}} that your glorying may abound in Christ

 

{{verse|1|27}} Only let

whether I come and see you and be absent, I may hear of your

state, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one soul striving

 

{{verse|1|28}} and in nothing affrighted by

the adversaries: which is for them an evident token of

 

{{verse|1|29}} because to you it hath been granted in the behalf of Christ, not

 

{{verse|1|30}} having the same conflict which ye saw in me, and now hear to be

{{verse|2|1}} If there is therefore any exhortation in Christ, if any

consolation of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any

 

{{verse|2|2}} make full my joy, that ye

be of the same mind, having the same love, being of one accord,

 

{{verse|2|3}} [doing] nothing through faction or through

vainglory, but in lowliness of mind each counting other better

 

{{verse|2|4}} not looking each of you to his own things,

 

{{verse|2|5}} Have this

 

{{verse|2|6}} who, existing

in the form of God, counted not the being on an equality with

 

{{verse|2|7}} but emptied himself, taking the

 

{{verse|2|8}} and

being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, becoming

 

{{verse|2|9}} Wherefore also God highly exalted him, and gave unto him the

 

{{verse|2|10}} that in the name of Jesus

every knee should bow, of [things] in heaven and [things] on

 

{{verse|2|11}} and that every tongue

should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God

 

{{verse|2|12}} So then, my beloved, even as ye have always

 

{{verse|2|13}} for it is God who worketh in you both to will and to

 

{{verse|2|14}} Do all things without

 

{{verse|2|15}} that ye may become blameless

and harmless, children of God without blemish in the midst of a

crooked and perverse generation, among whom ye are seen as

 

{{verse|2|16}} holding forth the word of life; that

I may have whereof to glory in the day of Christ, that I did not

 

{{verse|2|17}} Yea, and if I am

offered upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy, and

 

{{verse|2|18}} and in the same manner do ye also

 

{{verse|2|19}} But I hope in the Lord Jesus to

send Timothy shortly unto you, that I also may be of good

 

{{verse|2|20}} For I have no man

 

{{verse|2|21}} For they

 

{{verse|2|22}} But

ye know the proof of him, that, as a child [serveth] a father,

 

{{verse|2|23}} Him

therefore I hope to send forthwith, so soon as I shall see how

 

{{verse|2|24}} but I trust in the Lord that I myself

 

{{verse|2|25}} But I counted it necessary to

 

{{verse|2|26}} since he longed after you all, and was sore troubled,

 

{{verse|2|27}} for indeed he was

{{verse|2|28}} I have sent him therefore the more diligently, that, when

ye see him again, ye may rejoice, and that I may be the less

 

{{verse|2|29}} Receive him therefore in the Lord with all

 

{{verse|2|30}} because for the work of

{{verse|3|1}} Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the

same things to you, to me indeed is not irksome, but for you it

 

{{verse|3|2}} Beware of the dogs, beware of the evil workers,

 

{{verse|3|3}} for we are the circumcision, who

worship by the Spirit of God, and glory in Christ Jesus, and

 

{{verse|3|4}} though I myself might

have confidence even in the flesh: if any other man thinketh to

 

{{verse|3|5}} circumcised the

eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a

 

{{verse|3|6}} as

touching zeal, persecuting the church; as touching the

 

{{verse|3|7}} Howbeit what things were gain to me, these have I counted loss

 

{{verse|3|8}} Yea verily, and I count all things to be loss

for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for

whom I suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but

 

{{verse|3|9}} and be found in him, not

having a righteousness of mine own, [even] that which is of the

law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the

 

{{verse|3|10}} that I may know

him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of

 

{{verse|3|11}} if by

{{verse|3|12}} Not that I have already obtained, or am already made

perfect: but I press on, if so be that I may lay hold on that

 

{{verse|3|13}} Brethren, I could not myself yet to have laid hold: but one

thing [I do], forgetting the things which are behind, and

 

{{verse|3|14}} I

press on toward the goal unto the prize of the high calling of

 

{{verse|3|15}} Let us therefore, as many as are

perfect, be thus minded: and if in anything ye are otherwise

 

{{verse|3|16}} only,

 

{{verse|3|17}} Brethren, be ye imitators together of me, and mark them

 

{{verse|3|18}} For many

walk, of whom I told you often, and now tell you even weeping,

 

{{verse|3|19}} whose

end is perdition, whose god is the belly, and [whose] glory is

 

{{verse|3|20}} For our

citizenship is in heaven; whence also we wait for a Saviour, the

 

{{verse|3|21}} who shall fashion anew the body of our

 

{{verse|4|1}} Wherefore, my brethren beloved and longed for, my joy

 

{{verse|4|2}} I exhort

Euodia, and I exhort Syntyche, to be of the same mind in the

 

{{verse|4|3}} Yea, I beseech thee also, true yokefellow, help

these women, for they labored with me in the gospel, with

Clement also, and the rest of my fellow-workers, whose names are

 

{{verse|4|4}} Rejoice in the Lord always: again I

 

{{verse|4|5}} Let your forbearance be known unto all

 

{{verse|4|6}} In nothing be anxious; but in

everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your

 

{{verse|4|7}} And the peace of God,

which passeth all understanding, shall guard your hearts and

 

{{verse|4|8}} Finally, brethren,

whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good

report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise,

 

{{verse|4|9}} The things which ye both learned

and received and heard and saw in me, these things do: and the

 

{{verse|4|10}} But I rejoice in the Lord

 

{{verse|4|11}} Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned,

 

{{verse|4|12}} I know

how to be abased, and I know also how to abound: in everything

and in all things have I learned the secret both to be filled

 

{{verse|4|13}} I can

 

{{verse|4|14}} Howbeit ye

 

{{verse|4|15}} And

of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church had

fellowship with me in the matter of giving and receiving but ye

 

{{verse|4|16}} for even in Thessalonica ye sent once and again

 

{{verse|4|17}} Not that I seek for the gift; but I seek

 

{{verse|4|18}} But I have

 

{{verse|4|19}} And my God shall supply every need of yours according to

 

{{verse|4|20}} Now unto our God and

 

{{verse|4|21}} Salute

every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren that are with me

 

{{verse|4|22}} All the saints salute you, especially they
