PAUL and Timotheus, servants of Christ Jesus, to all the saints in Christ Jesus who are at Philippi, as well as to the bishops and deacons:

grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

of this I am confident, that he who has begun the good work in you will go on completing it until the day of Jesus Christ.

(God is my witness that I yearn for you all with the affection of Christ Jesus himself!)

your life covered with that harvest of righteousness which Jesus Christ produces to the glory and the praise of God.

The outcome of all this, I know, will be my release, as you continue to pray for me, and as I am provided with the Spirit of Jesus Christ ??20 my eager desire and hope being that I may never feel ashamed but that now as ever I may do honour to Christ in my own person by fearless courage. Whether that means life or death, no matter!

Thus you will have ample cause to glory in Christ Jesus over me ??over my return to you.

Treat one another with the same spirit as you experience in Christ Jesus.

so that before the Name of Jesus every knee should bend in heaven, on earth, and underneath the earth,

and every tongue confess that 'Jesus Christ is Lord,' to the glory of God the Father.

I hope in the Lord Jesus to send you Timotheus before long, that I may be heartened by news of you.

Everybody is selfish, instead of caring for Jesus Christ.

We are the true Circumcision, we who worship God in spirit, we who pride ourselves on Christ Jesus, we who rely upon no outward privilege.

indeed I count anything a loss, compared to the supreme value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have lost everything (I count it all the veriest refuse) in order to gain Christ

Not that I have already attained this or am already perfect, but I press forward to appropriate it, because I have been appropriated myself by Christ Jesus.

to press on to the goal for the prize of God's high call in Christ Jesus.

But we are a colony of heaven, and we wait for the Saviour who comes from heaven, the Lord Jesus Christ,

so shall God's peace, that surpasses all our dreams, keep guard over your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

My God will supply all your own needs from his wealth in Glory in Christ Jesus.

Salute every saint in Christ Jesus. The brothers beside me salute you.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
