To all Christ's People at Philippi, with the Presiding Officers and Assistants, from Paul and Timothy, servants of Christ Jesus.

May God, our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ bless you, and give you peace.

For of this I am confident, that he who began a good work in you will complete it in readiness for the Day of Jesus Christ.

God will bear me witness how I yearn over you all with the tenderness of Christ Jesus.

Bearing a rich harvest of that righteousness which comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

Yes, and I will rejoice, for I know that, through your prayers and through a rich supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, 'all this will make for my Salvation.'

So that, when you once more have me among you, you, in your union with Christ Jesus, may find in me fresh cause for exultation.

Let the spirit of Christ Jesus be yours also.

So that in adoration of the Name of Jesus every knee should bend, in Heaven, on earth, and under the earth,

And that every tongue should acknowledge JESUS CHRIST as LORD- -to the glory of God the Father.

I hope, however, as one who trusts in the Lord Jesus, to send Timothy to you before long, so that I may myself be cheered by receiving news of you.

They are all pursuing their own aims and not those of Christ Jesus.

And I am confident, as one who trusts in the Lord Jesus, that before long I myself shall follow.

For it is we who are the circumcised--we whose worship is prompted by the Spirit of God, who exult in Christ Jesus, and who do not rely upon external privileges;

More than that, I count everything as loss, for the sake of the exceeding value of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord. And for his sake I have lost everything, and count it as refuse, if I may but gain Christ and be found in union with him;

Not that I have already laid hold of it, or that I am already made perfect. But I press on, in the hope of actually laying hold of that for which indeed I was laid hold of by Christ Jesus.

I press on to the goal, to gain the prize of that heavenward Call which God gave me through Christ Jesus.

But the State of which we are citizens is in Heaven; and it is from Heaven that we are eagerly looking for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ,

Then the Peace of God, which is beyond all human understanding, will stand guard over your hearts and thoughts, through your union with Christ Jesus.

And my God, out of the greatness of his wealth, will, in glory, fully satisfy your every need, through your union with Christ Jesus.

Give my greeting to every one of the People of Christ Jesus. The Brothers who are with me send your their greetings.

May the blessing of the Lord Jesus Christ rest on your souls.
