PAUL and Timothy, servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus which are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons:

that ye may prove the things that are excellent, in order that ye may be sincere and without offence unto the day of Christ;

filled with fruits of righteousness, which by Jesus Christ are to the glory and praise of God.

so that my bonds are manifest in Christ through the whole palace, and all other places;

and very many of our brethren in the Lord, assuming confidence from my chains, are more abundantly bold, fearlessly to preach the word.

Receive him therefore in the Lord with all joy, and honourably treat those that are such:

For we are the circumcision, who serve God in spirit, and glory in Christ Jesus, and put no confidence in the flesh.

Brethren, I count not myself to have overtaken it; but this one object I pursue, forgetting the things which are behind, and reaching out to those which are before,

Let as many of us therefore as are perfect, be thus minded: and if ye entertain any other sentiment, God also will unveil this unto you.

For many walk, whom I have often mentioned to you, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ:

whose end is perdition, whose God is their belly, and their glory in their shame, whose minds are occupied with earthly things.

But our conversation is in heaven as its citizens, from whence also we are expecting the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ,

And I beseech thee also, my genuine associate, assist those women who laboured with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and my other fellow-labourers, whose names are in the book of life.

Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are serious, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are amiable, whatsoever things are laudable, if there be any virtue, or any thing praise-worthy, pay attention to these things.

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

All the saints salute you, specially those who are of Caesar's household.
