And I wish you to know, brethren, that the things concerning me, rather to an advancement of the good news have come,

so that my bonds have become manifest in Christ in the whole praetorium, and to the other places -- all,

For I have known that this shall fall out to me for salvation, through your supplication, and the supply of the Spirit of Christ Jesus,

and of this being persuaded, I have known that I shall remain and continue with you all, to your advancement and joy of the faith,

for I have no one like-minded, who sincerely for the things concerning you will care,

for he also ailed nigh to death, but God did deal kindly with him, and not with him only, but also with me, that sorrow upon sorrow I might not have.

though I also have cause of trust in flesh. If any other one doth think to have trust in flesh, I more;

But what things were to me gains, these I have counted, because of the Christ, loss;

Not that I did already obtain, or have been already perfected; but I pursue, if also I may lay hold of that for which also I was laid hold of by the Christ Jesus;

brethren, I do not reckon myself to have laid hold; and one thing -- the things behind indeed forgetting, and to the things before stretching forth --

but to what we have come -- by the same rule walk, the same thing think;

become followers together of me, brethren, and observe those thus walking, according as ye have us -- a pattern;

I have known both to be abased, and I have known to abound; in everything and in all things I have been initiated, both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to be in want.

For all things I have strength, in Christ's strengthening me;

and ye have known, even ye Philippians, that in the beginning of the good news when I went forth from Macedonia, no assembly did communicate with me in regard to giving and receiving except ye only;

and I have all things, and abound; I am filled, having received from Epaphroditus the things from you -- an odour of a sweet smell -- a sacrifice acceptable, well-pleasing to God:
